Bottom Line

A fun and easy way to introduce children to coding by customizing their own wand.

Pros

Kids build their own wand and customize its functions using the Kano coding app – available on iOS, Android, and Apple or Windows computers. Easy to assemble and use.

Cons

Wand and app aren’t compatible with older tablets or operating systems.

Check Price
Bottom Line

Fun, fast UNO play with a Potter-themed twist, at a very reasonable price.

Pros

Standard UNO gameplay, but with an added Sorting Hat rule card and cards in Hogwarts house colors. Extra wild card adds a fun twist to the game, and players are encouraged to yell out a spell rather than "Uno" when they reach their last card.

Cons

Storage box is flimsy and can be easily damaged. Added rules may take time to figure out.

Bottom Line

Authentic, weighty chess pieces are exciting to play with, but the chessboard is small and cheaply made.

Pros

Heavy, large plastic chess pieces (from 2 inches to 4 inches high) in contrasting dark and light gray, stored in velvet bags. Attractive chessboard folds easily.

Cons

Pieces can be top-heavy. The cardboard chessboard is disappointing compared to the exciting pieces, and too small.

Bottom Line

Adds fun new gameplay components to the classic Clue structure, which Potter fans from pre-teens to adults will enjoy.

Pros

Complex strategy and rules that build the Hogwarts realm into the Clue universe. New components like House Points, Dark Mark cards, and new secret passageways. Diverse and fun to play.

Cons

3 players are required to play. Game takes a bit longer to play due to its complexity. Gameboard text is tiny and hard to read.

Bottom Line

Fun for kids and teenagers, this variant on the classic “Trouble” game adds little other than a Harry Potter theme.

Pros

Gameplay is exciting once it gets going – players must roll a 6 in order to start. Rules are simple enough for kids yet complex enough for teens to enjoy.

Cons

Gameboard is cheaply made, and the “pop” bubble scratches easily. Takes more time to play than one might think.
