A classic game meets a classic story! In Clue World of Harry Potter there are Dark Forces at work. A friend has vanished and its up to you to rescue them before its too late. Playing as Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Luna or Neville, you must try to discover who did it, what spell or item they used and where the student was attacked. Was it Fenrir Greyback with a Cursed Necklace in the Forbidden Forest?
Use the Floo Network to travel faster through the wizarding world — but watch out for unlit fireplaces! When you’re sure of your facts, return to the Burrow to make your final accusations and win the game!
My son Cody and I are huge Harry Potter fans. We’ve seen the movies together since the beginning, we have all of them in a special edition pack including the books. His Grandma even owns the wands, special Hogwarts school books and many other items. Our family is just a wee bit obsessed with Harry Potter. So when given the chance to review Clue – World of Harry Potter Game, we were so excited!
With the last Harry Potter movie finally released, it was nice to have something to carry on our tradition as a family. We may not be able to go to the movies anymore, but we can sit and play Harry Potter Clue and figure out who did what and when just as we tried deducing with the movies before the end! We play on the weekends for family night and Cody has won the last game, but this weekend I am calling for a rematch!
You move about the board making suggestions, but you have to be very careful because the wheels on the board turn and fireplaces can light up, there are hidden doorways and the Dark Mark. Whenever the Dark Mark appears that means that Dark Forces at work.
You can pick up Help cards, they have spells and items that stop you from losing Floo powder tokens when the Dark Forces are working. The Floo powder tokens allow you to travel room to room using fireplaces. You have to guard them because if you run out you won?t be able to use the magical fireplaces to move around the board. It gets to be very challenging! We enjoyed that mix up of the original Clue game, our family loves a challenge and it was a great inclusion for Harry Potter.
You don’t have to be a Harry Potter fan to love the game. It is really just a fun family game that will have everyone scrambling or laughing till the end (well I was laughing), but for those of you Harry Potter fans is it a great piece to add to your collection of memorabilia of one of the greatest books written!
