EA's Harry Potter Using Wii-mic and Wiimote

Can you guess how you'll be casting spells? It doesn't say anything about pressing any buttons...

It is already well known that Nintendo has announced High School Musical for their Wii. Nintendo fans are now anxiously waiting for
GoNintendo to say something about a Wii-mic to be launched. Strangely, this rumor has been somehow connected to EA's working on a Harry Potter title for the Wii, using the mic along with gestures to cast spells. Surely you didn't think they'd actually make a motion-sensitive microphone for the Wii, now did you?

An update from GoNintendo clearly states that EA's new Harry Potter title for the Wii doesn't have anything to do with the mic. However, using gestures to cast spells does. Just when I was beginning to lose faith regarding the Wii's titles... The update reads: "The NDA I am talking about has nothing to do with the mic for the Wii. I was just mentioning the mic part because we already knew it was coming according to High School Musical info. The NDA deals with something else completely. If EA talked about a mic at their party, I didn't hear anything about it. "

But EA's Harry Potter for the Wii uses motion sensitivity to cast spells, so then why wouldn't it use a microphone with that purpose too? It will. The Wiimote will be there for the player to wave his/her hand around and the microphone to cast the spell verbally. Synchronizing both commands well, and pronouncing the spell correctly should eventually set your television on fire. Now that's a good title for the Wii. That's it, I'm not going to say anything negative about it from now on.
