About the game

What you do in a play session

Calling all Potterheads and mystery buffs! Ready to crack a disappearance at Hogwarts? In Clue: Harry Potter Edition, dark magic has struck the castle, and a student has vanished! Your mission: figure out who did it, what spell they used, and where the deed occurred. Play as your favorite characters like Harry, Hermione, Ron, and other witches and wizards. The board itself is a star, with wheels that move to reveal secret passages and even the Dark Mark! Each dice roll, including a special one with the Hogwarts Houses, can shake things up, opening or closing paths and even costing you House Points. Watch out for zero points, or you're out of the game! To fight the darkness, use help cards with items, allies, and spells against the dreaded Dark Deck cards. This version adds a unique twist to the classic Clue, keeping the core deduction gameplay but infused with the magic and perils of the wizarding world. If you love Harry Potter and enjoy a good mystery, this edition will keep you on the edge of your seat. It's a fantastic choice for those seeking a family-friendly experience with a dash of suspense and adventure.
