Product Description

Editorial Review

Fans of the amazing exploits of a certain literary phenomenon and wizardry student are bound to go whole-Hogwarts for the Harry Potter Trivia Game. This clever and challenging Q&A contest mixes a Slytherin scoop of Peeves the Poltergeist with the mechanics of Trivial Pursuit. As they round the circular track, players answer questions in five categories (one Places query asks, "What lies behind the 'Leaky Cauldron'?"), collect various Charms cards, avoid Curses played by opponents, and then return to their Houses to answer a final question. It's a cool game, definitely designed for hardcore Harry fans, but it has a couple of nice features for those who wouldn't know a Ravenclaw from a Hufflepuff. There are multiple-choice questions (though players score extra Charms if they answer without this option), and there's a Spell card that allows you to "think like Hermione." Play this card, and you get to answer another player's question. --Tony Mason

If you loved the books you will love the game. I am not a child and love the books and this game. The question are all from Rowlings fist book and they are not easy. This is the best Tivia game I have ever played. Buy it.

Shhh: we had an ulterior motive -- we're trying just about anything to get our 7 year old son excited about reading. He struggles with reading, especially out loud, but loves for US to read (and re-read) all 4 of the Harry Potter books to him. We were delighted that he was not only willing but excited to read -- out loud! -- the questions & answers on the clever trivia cards, all of which are based on the first book. He beat his parents every time we played, and now wants to play at least a couple of times a week! The game also encouraged us to look through the book on points of dispute (yes, the cards so far are right), and to go through later volumes to see what happened next to some of the characters. My only suggestion: create additional card sets for the last 3 books too -- and soon!

This game is tons of fun. Not only does it teach you a lot about Harry Potter but the various charms and spells cards make it even more challenging. The questions are about magic, muggles, wizard history and various other subjects. I don't reccomend this unless you are 9 or older and have read all the Harry Potter books and love the stories. This game combines trivial pursuit and jail in monopoly for a very fun game. Buy it now!
