Harry Potter Hogwarts Board Game Further reading:Shave a SheepLava DragonBuy/Support:Support Ed, click to buy via us... Harry Potter the Lego board game manages itself well. Each element - toy, game and film - combine to create an experience that works well and never feels forced. Harry Potter is one of the second generation of Lego board games. It takes the basic concept that worked so well with Shave a Sheep and Lava Dragon and extends it into a more fully fledged board game experience.
The combination of block building fun and a pre-packed board is still a strong recipe for most families. Into the pot this time is added the Harry Potter theme. The game board - once constructed which took us around 30 minutes - is a miniature Hogwarts with moveable floors, dungeons and sliding tower. Players roll the customisable Lego dice to work their way round the board to collect homework items and return to the common room. Although the game can be played with two players, it really comes alive with the full complement of four. With more competitors in the mix there is a real sense of cut and thrust as the lead changes hands. Because of the modular nature of the Lego game dice, families can adjust the difficulty . Because of the modular nature of the Lego game dice, families can adjust the difficulty - and length of the game to suite. Although out of the box Harry Potter lasts around 25 minutes for players of eight and over a few tweaks can shorted or extend playtime - as well as making it more suitable for a younger audience.
These various brands coming together in once concept was potentially messy. However, a intelligent degree of restraint, along with a commitment to Lego's block set (rather than custom pieces) makes Harry Potter feel genuinely like Lego while also encompassing both board game and film themes comfortably.

PlayStation Lifestyle is reporting that a rating appeared for a ‘Lego Harry Potter Collection’ on PS4 in the Brazilian rating system.
It has since been taken down, but Twitter user Felipe Mesquita managed to get a screenshot. ''LEGO Harry Potter Collection'' passou por indicação indicativa aqui no BR. Talvez um release da Warner p/ Nov/Dez? — Felipe Mesquita (@felipe_mgm) August 17, 2016 This is the second current-gen game compilation to leak from a rating board in 24 hours, after the appearance of an Assassin’s Creed Ezio Collection on the Korean Game Rating board. If this is for real (and these things usually are), it’s likely to be a compilation of Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 and 5-7, both of which appeared on Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii (and were quite good). The two games followed Harry and pals throughout their whole school journey, from his humble beginnings as a new student through to all the stuff that happens in the final movie and book that I shouldn’t spoil here.LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts 3862 Games15 product ratings541322010DurableWould recommendEntertainingSee all 7 reviewsAbout this productSee detailsBuy It NowSee all 2 Brand NewSee detailsBuy It NowSee all 24 Pre-OwnedAll listings for this productAbout this productProduct IdentifiersProduct Key Features541322010DurableWould recommendEntertainingMost relevant reviewsSee all 7 reviewsby Fun to build, but not to playThe game took us an hour to build and that was great with my 7 year old daughter.
The rules for the game are a little unclear though (for shifting/moving/rotating pieces) and we found it was better to just make up our own modified rules. I would say that this game is definitely better suited for older kids--maybe 10+.Condition: Pre-ownedby Great game!My 6 year old loves the game. All pieces included and it's a fun game for adults to play too!Condition: Pre-ownedby Item was great but missing a pieceItem was missing a single piece, which made the game board unusable :(Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-ownedby Harry Potter Hogwarts GameReceived in perfect condition - Am very pleased - Thank you so muchVerified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-ownedby LEGO construction + game; I bought this for my grandson's birthday--he just turned 8 and is crazy about Legos and HP. The price was right and all the parts were present and bagged appropriately. While it may have been used, it was like new and my grandson's mother said it kept him engrossed during the time he had available during the week to get it put together.
He even got up early and dressed quickly so that he could work on it. I do not know whether anyone has played the game. Published on Jan 13.
