Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Discover the secrets of Hogwarts in this version of the classic mystery game.
Enjoy new game play features and a moving Hogwarts game board.
Dark magic has been performed at Hogwarts.
A fellow student has vanished from the famous School of Witchcraft and Wizardry—and it is up to you to solve the mysterious disappearance.
Play as 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?
Move around Hogwarts making suggestions- but watch out. Wheels on the board actually move to reveal secret passages, hidden staircases, and even the Dark Mark.
Think you’ve gathered all the facts you need? Go to Dumbledore’s office to make your final accusation to win the game.
Kids will love taking on the roles of their favourite Harry Potter characters.

This game will appeal to anyone interested in Harry Potter or Cluedo. But if you think it won't test an adult, think again! The appearance of the Dark Mark (via turns of the House wheels, or the special die) will frequently deplete your investigating character of House points as trouble rears its head! If those points drop to zero, you're out of the game! This makes the game tougher. And this is why some players have expressed frustration with it.
There is no way in the rules to restore your character's House points! So ensure that your character quickly gets as many Help cards (allies, spells and items) as you can whilst crossing the board. This will help keep you in the game, whilst investigating which suspicious character is a kidnapper, how they did the deed, and in which room.
If that tip's not enough, then do what I did - and add a modification to the rules! My idea was to lay 'Extra Help' squares around the board(face down, along with some red-herring blanks), and have them restore lost House points with comments like "Professor Snape grudgingly awards you 10HP for passing a Potions test". In a test run, these helped three friends and I to play a game for over an hour and a half. Only in the last ten minutes did 2 of us drop out of the game!
Other points: the design is good (including the locking/unlocking doors and changing secret passages), and the cards cover a range of characters (even Cormac McLaggen gets mentioned!). Shame that Profs Moody and Lupin don't get referred to by name.
Summary - my friends and I enjoyed it. Just do what you can to keep those House points in your deck!

A great variation on the original CLUEDO. Played a great deal with our 8 year old who had no problem understanding this game, and could have played it age 7 (despite the 9-14 suggested age range). A known Harry Potter character disappears and you have to guess WHO did it out of known Harry Potter "baddies", WHERE did they do it chosen from recognisable haunts of Hogwarts and with WHAT was it done from known Harry Potter objects etc. It doesn't matter if you don't know Harry Potter - you soon will! The original "secret passages" now disappear and re-appear & the addition of Dark Mark cards mean you can lose valuable House Points. I would highly recommend this board game - both kids and adults have fun (and you never know who will win!)

In our house we love Cluedo, the children are 7 and 12. We also all love Harry Potter and this new twist we all found really enjoyable.
It is not just one of those replica games where the names are changed, the game has new dimensions with dark marks and secret passages that change.
Highly recommended.

This game needs time at the beginning to completely understand the rules as they are a little complicated, but once you have done that it is an amazing game. Read more

Must have for Cluedo or Potter fans!
Brilliant game, it's Cluedo with an extra layer or two and if you're a fan of Potter or not it makes games a hell of a lot more interesting. Read more
