Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The popular board game that has players watching video clips and shouting out answers is now available in an upgraded Harry Potter theme. This second edition of Screenlife’s Scene It? Harry Potter game is chock full of questions, characters, and clips from the first five Harry Potter movies. Yes, that includes the recently released Order of the Phoenix.
Not an experienced wizard? Don’t worry. This game is easy enough to learn and fun enough to play even for those who are not overly familiar with the Harry Potter plots. Some questions can be answered simply by paying close attention to the movie clips, while others are about an actor’s work outside of these movies. There are also 30 House Points cards available to help (or occasionally hinder) your progress. If these reasons aren’t enough to tempt you into a game on your own, then hop on the Hogwarts Express with a friend or family member and play a few rounds in team mode first.
Pop the game’s DVD into your player to start the magic and mayhem. Loaded with new clips and puzzles, this version touches on "The Boy Who Lived" to "He Who Must Not Be Named" and all things in between. There are over 1,000 questions on the 160 trivia cards, so even if you see the same snippet from the 180 on the DVD during the same game, the question about that scene will be different. Special technology randomizes the order of the clips to ensure fresh fun each time the game is played.
The themed, interactive game board can be spread out for longer games, or folded when you don’t have a lot of time (or players). To help you move around the board there are four metal player tokens (Fawkes, Buckbeak, the Knight Bus, and the Durmstrang ship), one six-sided die to determine how many spaces to move, and one eight-sided die that determines the category to be played. Once the dice have been rolled, clips are watched, questions are asked, and it’s revealed just how true a fan you are. Categories span from Colin’s Camera (trying to determine an item before the picture is fully developed) to Hagrid’s Hut (naming one of the many magical creatures) and from Divination (identifying the character in the crystal ball) to many more.

While many found the first edition of the Harry Potter "Scene It" game to be either frightfully boring, or far too easy, the game-makers more than make up for past short-comings with this new deluxe 2nd edition.
This edition of "Harry Potter Scene It" includes detailed questions from the first 5 books, and the first 5 movies. Yes! -- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is included in this game! It's a real treat to have the 5th movie included within the game so soon after it's release in theatres!
There are 4 game pieces to choose from (including Fawkes the Phoenix, Buckbeak the Hippogriff, the Knight Bus, and the Durmstrang Ship). Each player chooses a game piece, and away you go! If more than 4 people wish to play, I recommend either pairing off into teams, or else grab a couple game pieces from a different boardgame (such as Monopoly) and use them instead! There's room for everyone to have fun!
The game-makers did an excellent job of creating questions that range from very easy, moderately difficult, and very hard. The majority of the hard questions usually pertain to the actors in the movies, and the logistics of the making of the films (such as "How many Ford Anglias were used in the filming of 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'?" --- "Who was the first actor cast for 'Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone'?" --- "What item did Gary Oldman (Sirius Black) give to Daniel Radcliffe during their first meeting?"). During the first edition of this game, the questions were generally too easy, which is great for kids who are playing, but not as fun for adults.
The clips shown during the DVD portion of the game are a lot of fun. Sometimes the same clip will be shown more than once, but a different question will be asked each time! Most of the time the answers to the clip questions are fairly simple. At other times it's a little more challenging, especially during the mini-games played during the "all play" portion of the game (for those who are unfamiliar with the "Scene It" game format, an All Play is when a clip or game is played in which all the players are participating together, instead of in turns. The first player to shout out the answer wins the All Play round!).
Bottom line, this game is a lot of fun for Harry Potter fans of all ages, and it's a wonderful step up from the slightly disappointing 1st edition!

We got my daughter the deluxe 2nd ed. off Amazon for Christmas. The thing was, we already had the regular edition under the tree, but the deal for the deluxe was good, so we had her open one and then traded it for the other. Having had both, here is what you need to know:
There is NO BONUS DISC in Harry Potter Deluxe Ed. (there is one for the Disney one). They never made one! Amazon advertises one, and when we called them they apologized but they didn't fix the description. The bulleted info still claims there is a bonus disc.
Everything else is the same between the versions, except for 4 Harry Potter trading cards.
We called Scene-It to find out if they were really charging that much more for 4 trading cards and they said the deluxe has a tin box. Thing was, we had found a tin box (non-deluxe) that some stores had. So even the tin box (whoop-de-doo) wasn't even special (not that I would have paid extra for a box).
At least in the regular version we had, the box, board, etc were the same color, etc. Regardless, your not getting more questions or clips, or even better game pieces. Your getting 4 cards and possibly a better box.
As for the game itself, its pretty much the usual scene-it experience. I can't see adults sitting around and playing this, but its fun for kids who are huge Harry Potter fans. Despite what they say, though, you do need to be a huge fan to be competitive against someone that is. Especially if that person has read the books. While the game is completely movie based, reading the books gives a much better understanding of the movies and a huge advantage in this game. Make sure your child has someone who will be able to play with him/her.

I love this game. I own both this edition and the first one. If you're a fan of the Harry Potter movies or books at all this is a fun game to get together and play with friends or family. The card questions and video clip questions range in difficulty and variety. You never know what to expect to be asked so it makes it more entertaining. My favorite questions are the "Muggle" questions where they ask about the actors and their lifes. It's pretty fun. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who has seen the movies.

Yes, these Scene It games seem like a great concept, but especially for the Harry Potter editions, it fails. Read more
