Let's Play!

OMG Everyone! Some great news to report today!

Just in time for the holiday season, two new Harry Potter board games have been introduced and are now available!!! First up, it's Harry Potter CLUE. In this game, dark magic has been conjured up at Hogwarts! A student has vanished and it's up to the player to solve the mysterious disappearance. Players get to portray Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Luna or Neville and try to discover WHO did it, WHAT spell or item they used, and WHERE the student was attacked! Was it Draco Malfoy with a Sleeping Draught in the Owlery?!! You move around Hogwarts to make suggestions, but you have to be careful...there are wheels on the board that actually move to reveal secret passages, hidden staircases, and even the Dark Mark! When you think you've figured it out, you must go to Professor Dumbledore’s office to make your final accusation to win the game!! How marvelous!!!!

Equally enjoyable is the second game - Harry Potter Hogwarts Cup Challenge. This game allows 2-4 players to play as Harry, Ron, Hermione, or Neville in order to win the House Cup for Gryffindor. Players move their characters around the board encountering Adventure Cards and increasing their Knowledge, Skill and Honor. As the characters’ abilities grow, they face harder challenges based on the first five Harry Potter films.

Both of these games sound like great fun! Likely to keep any Harry Potter fan happy and entertained for hours and hours!!! Game on!
