[HPFGU-OTChatter] Harrry Potter Chess Set, anybody have one?

[Heidi Tandy]

We have one - I gave it to my husband for hanukah with the expectation that my son, who is learning chess, would enjoy playing it. 

They are hard plastic and it's what you'd expect from a set of plastic pieces, versus wood, acryllic or glass, which is what we prefer in the ones we actually collect. 

Not a bad use of 15 dollars but not a brilliant piece of merchandise either.

bboy_mn asks:

Does anybody have the genuine licensed Mattel Harry Potter Chess Set
that is a replica of the McGonagall/Voldemort/Philosopher's Stone
chess set?

I've seen them advertised for $15, but it looks like Mattel is
discontinuing them. 


Can you tell me if the chess pieces are soft like molded toy soldiers
or are they hard plastic?


In case, you are thinking about buying one, they may be worth it for
the novelty of having a Harry Potter Chess set. But I'm lead to
believe the quality is not very good. You can by a pretty nice regular
chess set for $10 to $15.

If they are hard plastic, I might maybe consider buying one. If they
are soft plastic, I would just like to photograph them with my digital
camera with the wild and unlikely notion that I might figure out a way
to recreate them in wood. 

If you have one, what is your impression of it?
