Editorial Review
Was it Ron Weasley with the Wingardium Leviosa spell in Filch's office? Or was it Draco Malfoy with the Alohomora spell in the Transfiguration class? If it seems that the Mystery at Hogwarts Game bears more than a passing resemblance to Clue, the classic detective game, you're not imagining things or under the spell of Goyle's Forgetfulness potion. With colorful and stylish game equipment, Mattel has melded the world of J.K. Rowling and Master Potter with the realm of the Brothers Parker and Professor Plum. Players move about the representation of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to determine which three cards are contained in Fluffy's folder. Additional features include a roaming ghost, which can send players back to Start, and certain Hogwarts emblems on the dice that allow a peek at opponents' cards. The Mystery at Hogwarts Game is an attractive and well-designed (if not exactly original) deduction game tie-in to the publishing phenomenon. It will amuse fans more partial to Miss Granger than Mr. Green. --Tony Mason

This game is pretty much a Harry Potter version of clue. You try to figure out which student cast which spell in which room. It is not hard to learn or play, but is it very fun. I played it at my birthday party and people were begging me to let them play again! The game pieces are little wizard hats with stars on them. Peeves is there and if he catches you have to go back to start. There are cool pictures on each of the game cards. You can find secret passages in the game so you can get to places faster.

As stated in the other reviews, this game combines Harry Potter with Clue, but also adds other aspects of strategy that Clue does not have. There is a ghost game piece that players can move to block or bump other players on the board, and the addition of game cards makes this more complex than Clue.
The artwork on the gameboard is exceptionally detailed, and the gamepieces are of higher quality than typical board games. This game is definitely a deal at the price it is being sold for.
My only suggestion to people considering this game is that, like Clue, it is best played with 3 or more people. I initially tried to play this with two people and it seemed to end too quickly.
Otherwise, this is a fun and exciting trip to Hogwarts!

The Mystery at Hogwarts game is the best game I ever played.I played with my friend for 11 games straight!Its resemblence to Clue makes it even better.Even if your not a big Harry Potter fan, like me, you will still enjoy the game alot.The more rooms than Clue makes it a little bit more challenging, and the ghost is a great add on to the game.Whatever you do, go out and buy this game!

Harry Potter version of Clue!
This game is awesome! It is the Harry Potter version of Clue, with the weapons being spell names, and the rooms are all Hogwart's classrooms. $75 for this game is ridiculous. Read more

Not worth it!
Honestly, $100 for this game is outrageous! If you like Harry Potter-themed games and enjoy playing Clue, just buy the Clue: Harry Potter game. Read more

Excellent game!
This game is a slightly more complex Clue, but it uses the same theory as the original. I usually play it with only my dad, and it's just as much fun with two people. Read more
