This Monopoly edition is inspired by the Harry Potter universe, immersing players in the world of Hogwarts as students. The game blends classic Monopoly gameplay with illustrations, locations, and themes from the wizarding world. Players move around the board using one of six golden tokens representing magical transportation, including the Hippogriff, Hogwarts Express, Hagrid’s motorcycle, Thestral, and Firebolt.
At the start, players choose a house—Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw—and earn house points throughout the game. The board features iconic Hogwarts locations such as classrooms and common rooms, with players gaining more house points as they explore these spaces.
Instead of traditional Chance and Community Chest cards, the game includes Express Cards and Owl Cards, drawn from beneath a snowy owl figure. However, Beware of Bludgers, which can disrupt gameplay. The set includes 1 game board, 6 tokens, 28 title deeds, 16 Express Cards, 16 Owl Cards, 32 house point tokens, 1 snowy owl figure, 90 plastic Galleons, 1 die, and instructions. For 2–6 players, ages 8 and up.
Things to Keep in MindA primary concern among buyers is the product's language; many received the game in French despite descriptions suggesting or implying availability in other languages like Spanish or German. Additionally, a recurring issue is the game box arriving damaged due to inadequate packaging during shipment. Why You'll Like ItFor Harry Potter enthusiasts, the game generally offers an appealing aesthetic with well-detailed components, including unique storage solutions. It's noted for its distinct gameplay elements compared to a standard Monopoly and is often seen as a good value.
