Destination Hogwarts

Easy to understand the game principles so can be played straight from the box without any fuss, Good fun with a few like minded friends.

Didn’t receive the product. Said delivered to neighbour on tracking documents but doesn’t say which neighbour and no slip through the door. Can’t give zero stars but would!

We bought this game for our 8-year old daughter, who's mad about Harry Potter. She reckons it's the best game ever, but I found it a bit frustrating to play, because I like the rules to be totally clear and explicit, and I don't think the rules for this game are. For example, if you throw a double and land on a square that requires an action, do you take the action before throwing again, or do you just ignore it until the end of your turn? In summary, the game is fun, but could have been even better.

Brought this board game for my Harry Potter fanatic daughter for her birthday... She loves the game and has played it with lots of her friends. Good present and arrived very quickly.

My daughter is a major Harry Potter fan, so this had to be bought. She loves it! We all love it as a family, as do friends who come over and play it with us. It's easy to explain and understand, although rules are a bit vague, which loses it a star - nothing you can't decided as a family how to overcome though. The board is a map of the Hogwarts site, which includes the school, Express Line, Enchanted Forest, Black lake, etc. As few as two can play, up to eight or more if you partner up. Unusual collection of characters as playing pieces - the expected Harry, Hermione, Ron and Luna are here, but then you get Crabbe and Goyle as well - no-one has wanted to play with them yet! If you know The London Game, this is a bit like that, where you have sites to visit, then race to get back to your starting point (one of the common rooms.) It's also a bit like Monopoly, as you have a collection of house points to start (which resemble monopoly money and are thick paper, hence durability rating) and collect more with each site you visit. More sites (cards) are picked up with each you visit, so you're scampering about the board, and can be sent back to base if you land on someone else's site. The winner is the player to have collected most house points by the time the first player returns to their common room when all cards have gone. The first player back might not be the winner! And counting house points is a mathematical challenge: counting in 100s, 10s and units :)Hence educational rating! We've always had good fun playing - my children are 9 and 11, and although my eldest 'slightly' prefers HP Cluedo, my youngest hasn't yet discovered how to play that tactically, so this suits her better. Recommended!

Very disappointed 7 year old as game received without instructions.

if you are a fan of the destination games and have played the city ones like paris or london this might not before you it is very different and to be honest isn't as much fun as the city ones it has a good idea and is great for harry potter lovers but its not quite the same as the normal destination and i have only played it few times not sure if i will play again but paris london and them we play all the time amazing games have fun

Have brought this as a christmas present for my son who is mad on harry potter. Hopefully he will love it, he wanted some games the whole family can play and i think this will be a good choice.
