Aspyr Media wrote in this morning to let us know they are now shipping Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. This second game is based on the now-famous series of fantasy books for children (and the young at heart) by J.K. Rowling.

According to Aspyr, the game should be in stores this Wednesday, April 16. Here's more about it from the press release:

The Macintosh version will also allow players to take the role of Harry Potter as he enrolls in Hogwarts and embarks on a journey to unlock the secrets of his own magical abilities. Along the way Harry will explore the halls of Hogwarts and its surrounding grounds, study to be a wizard, learn to fly a broomstick and play Quidditch, collect objects to solve puzzles, become skilled at spells and potions, discover secret passages and locations, and interact with other characters from the book. The game will also feature an array of puzzle and adventure gameplay as players guide Harry through the halls of Hogwarts, sneaking around to avoid confrontations with nosey characters like Filch and Peeves. The Macintosh version also features a fast, arcade-style Quidditch game to further immerse players in the magical world of Harry Potter. Harry Potter's biggest fans can easily install and play his interactive adventure, delivering advanced 3D graphics on more powerful machines.
