Harry Potter - Battle for Hogwarts Board Game

In Philosopher's Stone, Harry is relieved when he sees the others playing chess in the common room, just like Muggles would. But when Ron explains the differences between Muggle chess and Wizard's Chess to him, Harry can hardly believe his eyes. Wizard's Chess is mainly different because you don’t just have to keep your strategy under control to win, but also your pieces. Otherwise, it can easily happen that the rook stubbornly refuses to move even a single square and you get cheeky comments from the bishop instead. And if you’re not careful, the pawns may start brawling at the edge of the board, completely ignoring the rules. So you don’t go down without a fight in your first games like Harry, Elbenwald has the perfect Wizard’s Chess Set for you, so you can properly prepare for duels in the common room: just unpack the high-gloss chessboard with marble look, featuring Harry Potter lettering along the sides, and place the 32 game pieces, which glide almost effortlessly across the board thanks to their lightweight plastic. The pieces, between 5 and 11.5 cm tall, come packed in two organza bags printed with the Harry Potter logo and are modelled after the legendary chess set Professor McGonagall created to protect the Philosopher’s Stone – the very same game in which Ron sacrificed himself so Harry could move on to the next room and temporarily defeat Lord Voldemort. With this set, every chess match becomes a little bit magical – and maybe, during your next move, you’ll hear a quiet, reluctant muttering from your knight. Just listen closely!
