Update: Volition's unreleased Harry Potter demo – which offered people the chance to either play the rudimentary RPG or "flythrough" its sparse, cobblestoned environment – was put together in 1999, before the book for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was even released. We have also now added images to this article.
