Outsmart Your Opponents in a Race to Finish
If you're looking for a game that the entire family can enjoy, the LEGO Hogwarts Board Game is an ideal choice. It is simple enough for young children to enjoy, but is also deep enough to engage older kids and even adults.

After the board has been built, players begin by choosing one of four colored microfigures - one to represent each of the four Hogwarts Houses. The objective is to collect four items from four different classrooms. Players win by being the first to return to their commonroom with all four items intact.

But the game is not quite as straightforward as it may sound: players must also contend with all sorts of magical obstacles! Since the game board is fully customizable, you can strategically rearrange the rooms to throw your opponents off course. In this way, the game encourages kids to think creatively, as they develop strategies to slow down their opponents.

Customize Your Game Board
With 322 pieces, the Harry Potter Hogwarts game is a brisk and easy build. Experienced LEGO builders should be able to construct the game board in 20 minutes. The set also comes with a colorful, step-by-step instruction manual to assist you in building. Or, if you're not interested in following the instructions, you can use the pieces to create your very own customized game board.

Even the six-sided die is built out of LEGO. The die comes with seven tiles, which can be put together in any combination. This allows you to tweak and customize the game's rules to your liking. You can also make the game easier or harder, depending on which tiles you include.

Exclusive Microfigures of Harry, Ron, and Other Characters
In addition to the four colored game pieces, you'll also receive five other Potter-themed microfigures. These include some of the series' most popular characters: Harry, Hermione, Ron, Draco, and Dumbledore. You can even use these characters as game pieces, which adds an element of roleplaying to your fun.

What's in the Box
322 lego pieces and an instruction booklet.

Harry Potter Mini-Figures

The set features special mini-figures of Harry, Dumbledore, and the entire gang.

A fun and challenging family game for 2 to 4 players. Between the moving staircases and secret passages at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it can be tricky to find your way around. Be the first to successfully navigate the magical castle to collect all your homework from your classes and get back to your common room! A fun and challenging family game for 2 to 4 players.
