When The Boy Who Lived makes his big return t' Hogwarts for the finale a Harry Potter 'n the Deathly Hallows, he'll be doing it without the aid a motion peripherals on the Xbox 360. EA producer Gary Napper confirmed t' Joystiq that Harry Potter 'n the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 won't have any Kinect functionality (unlike it be predecessor), as the development team at EA Bright Light made a decision "early on t' focus on the core a the experience, pillage as close t' the atmosphere a the movie 'n make the flow a the combat feel right."

The first Deathly Hallows game arrived last November t' negative reviews. The sequel will touch down on July 12, just three days before the final movie launches in US theaters. Unfortunately, it be short development time (approximately eight months) raises questions about how much the game can really improve beyond Potter's previous outing.

According t' Napper, "We didn't want t' dilute any a our efforts on other things that would require a lot a the team's time t' perfect." We be told that EA Bright Light currently has two unannounced projects in development.
