I undestand, so teoreticaly you have to update the version from time to time. Do you get it every week?
And how do you do if you have to write something for the 4th level and don't want to have to play throug the hole levels until you are there?
Do you only work on Harry Potter or on another games too?

Its handled using something called a 'Revision Control System', there is a central copy of the game of which everyone syncs to, then if you want to modify a certain part you check it out, and publish it back when youve finished, that way everyone has a completely uptodate copy of the game on their pc. also build disks are produced to test on the platforms which the game is being developed for, to check stability.

Do i always know what to do? Kind of a general question to answer but ill give it a shot:)
In the 6 weeks ive been working here, programming/syntax wise ive not really had any problems getting to grips with the code etc, the way the framework has been written is really nice so that helps alot, was pretty easy to get into.
But in terms of coding a solution for something, then yeah there are times you have to sit down and think of the best way to tackle a problem, but thats the part i enjoy, because theres nothing more rewarding than solving it, and seing your particular solution come to life within the game
The problem solving is the part I enjoy the most

If you love problem solving, you are true coder and same to me  I love problems and things that needs to be solved (like smoothing out algoritms)  what are the odds to actually get the call from EA or other Game Dev team?

Well I got pretty good replies, basically my initial intentions were to develop a portfolio of my work, for which I decided to develop a 3D Pirate game using opengl with accurate wave dynamics / shaders etc, basically to showcase my work. Half way through I decided that why wait until I finish the game to apply for jobs, so I stuck my cv together and sent it all over the place. I actually applied to EA as QA tester, but they saw my CV and gave me a phone call stating that they were really impressed and asked me If i would be interested in working on the new Harry Potter title. I also received interest from another pretty big development house for a football management title which is being developed, however I cant say im too keen on football, so not the one for me Chris
