Editorial Review
If Harry's enough of a wizard to hook millions of kids on reading, maybe he's enough of a wizard to make them crazy about chess too. This Potterized set is very nearly very nice. Although the game pieces are plastic, they have interesting (if not very Hogwarts-specific) designs with good detail, and they're a decent size--knights and bishops are 4 inches high. However, too many corners are cut. Despite a disclaimer that colors and decorations may vary, the simple truth is that the pieces in the box are either plain-dark gray or slightly speckled light gray. Unlike the ones on the box photograph, they look like pieces waiting to be painted. (Which would be a decent project, perhaps, but buyers ought to know that's what they'll get.) Also, the fold-out board is plain white and has to be glued to the included paper chess board, and no rules are included. --Richard Farr
From the Manufacturer
This chess set looks just like the giant-sized game in the scene from the movie "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". The pieces are finely detailed replicas of the figures that Ron and Harry battle with in the movie. There are 32 chess pieces and a board.
