[HPforGrownups] Harry Potter Board Game

No: HPFGUIDX 7247

Ok I was waiting to see if someone else posted about this but since nobody
has so far, here goes.  I have the SS board game (with 6 and 3/4 games).
You can play all of the games by themselves, or you can link them all
together.  That's what we did.  The game is set up like the challenges that
protect the SS.  The first game is Hagrid's Challenge (involving Fluffy) and
it goes on.  I love games of all kinds and play a lot of them and this one
(as much as I love my Harry) was kind of lame.  The games are very short and
take no skill at all except MacGonagall's Challenge, which is just basic
Chess in the game.  I think the boards are cool (there are 6 that hook
together) and I think interesting rules can be made to make it more
difficult, but on its own, kind of boring.

The Quidditch card game on the other hand is pretty fun.  I got it for
someone for Christmas and had to get one for myself too.  I think it will be
even more fun when we learn it a little better, but for $6 versus the $30
for the SS game, it's a better game.  I haven't gotten to play any of the
other ones (the Quidditch board game, Mystery at Hogwarts and the Trivia
Game - I want the Trivia Game, Prefects edition!) but when I do (note I
didn't say if...)I'll report back if anyone would like.

** I'm curious to find out more about the HP board game, not the Trivia 
** game, but the one based on Sorceror's Stone, which purports to be 6 
** or 7 games in one, each game based on one of the trials or obstacles 
** Harry, Ron and Hermione have to pass on their way to the Stone.  I 
** was wondering if anyone out there has already purchased and played 
** the game(s) and could report on them.  Is it several games 
** that could 
** be played as one ongoing tournemant?  Are the games original or 
** dirivitave of classic games?  Are they fun to play even as an adult? 
** I'd appreciate any response and review.
