It's time to remember the spell that magically rearranges your living room furniture: a demo of Harry Potter for Kinect is now available to Xbox Live Gold members. If you've forgotten the game's existence, it sweeps players away to a dream world of magic, allowing them to wave their arms and, presumably, lean to the left or right occasionally.

Harry Potter for Kinect also has the unique feature of scanning your face right into the game. Alas, as far as we know, there is no "Voldemort yourself" mini-game.

The last time Harry Potter used the magic of Kinect, the results were less than magical. Now, WB and developer Eurocom are bringing the world of Hogwarts to Kinect with a much more "traditional" Kinect experience; minigames. It's called, of course, Harry Potter for Kinect.

The game follows the whole Harry Potter saga, with Harry, Ron, Hermione ... and you(r face scanned onto a player-created character!) You'll cast spells with gestures and voice commands, play Quidditch, choose a house, take part in duels, battle against Voldemort, and other Potterly activities.

Harry Potter for Kinect will be in stores this fall, where it will sell many, many copies.
