Only days after its release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Electronic Arts has announced a new game based on the fourth installment of the Harry Potter book series, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Gamers will be able to play as Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, using character-switching tactics, using each's special skills and abilities, in order to face off against the escaped convict Sirius Black and the Dementors, the sinister guards of Azkaban prison. The game will feature a ton of new characters, sub-quests, two-player challenges and more.



Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is currently slated for a multi-console release in Spring 2004. We'll be sure to keep you updated as more details on the game surface.
