Inside Mac Games has posted a first look preview of Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix, one of the four games Electronic Arts recently announced for the Mac. Here's a clip from the preview:

Some of the tasks a player will be involved with include interacting with portrait characters, discovering passwords and shortcuts (through the building), finding the “Room of Requirements”, and recruiting other students into the the DA (Dumbledore’s Army). There are also Wizarding games such as Gobstones, exploding snap, and Wizard chess one can play. Harry’s two best friends, Ron and Hermione, appear as NPCs, serving as sources of information and help. Although previous Harry Potter games were designed for the younger crowd, The Order of the Phoenix will be geared toward a broader range of players, with three difficulty levels to choose from.
