Harvey Elliott, the former head of EA Bright Light, has joined Marmalade, according to GI International. Elliot will join the cross-platform tools firm as its managing director and COO.

Guildford-based EA Bright Light, developer of the Harry Potter games, closed last year.

A report on Develop states that EA has closed Guildford’s Harry Potter studio, Bright Light which has resulted in job losses and staff being relocated to Criterion and Playfish, with other joining studios Jagex and Supermassive Games. Harvey Elliott, general manager of Bright Light and employed with the firm for eight years, is no longer working for EA, and is believed to be on a industry hiatus. Develop understands the studio closure started in November following a consultation period with employees, with EA declining to discuss specifics of the studio’s shuttering. Bright Light began life as EA UK in 1995.
