Electronic Theatre reports on the latest details from Electronic Arts' forthcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, revealing the mo-cap technology used to bring the characters to life.

For the first time in a Harry Potter videogame, it’s possible to read the emotion in characters’ faces as they talk, thanks to the advanced facial animation system that was used during development. Many of the film’s actors provided their voices for the game, and the development team at EA had access to photos and body scans of all the characters, so every raised eyebrow and fluttering cloak is accurately portrayed in the game.
