Until we get something official, we’ll take it all with a grain of salt, but for what it’s worth, last year Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment launched a new label called Portkey Games to publish Harry Potter games for smartphones as well as console platforms. It is rumored that Avalanche Software, known for developing the Disney Infinity games, is behind the development of the new Harry Potter game.
