EA Bright Light Studio is what Bullfrog mutated into. They became the Harry Potter studio and developed nothing else since. :(

I think it's a mistake to have gone with the art style they did as the character models and particularly the facial animations are disturbing in their woodness and nearly imperceptible mistiming. A more stylized presentation doesn't risk falling into the uncanny valley as this seems to, at least for me.

I've been playing an old Harry Potter game for GC with my 6-year-old daughter and she's having a lot of fun with it. It has pretty much all the features that this trailer touts as being in the games for the "first time ever", and it mercifully doesn't include a Ron that looks like the missing link.
