>>What I'd really like to see is a chess set that's modelled after HP chars 
themselves -- Dumbledore as the white king, Harry as a bishop on brooomstick, 
etc.<<

Does sound like fun. Harry is more like the knight, however. And, for a 
difinitive set one would need to wait until after the publication of book 
seven. But, still, fun to speculate as we go along.

Let's see... On the basis of book 4;

White pieces;

King = Dumbledore
Queen = (Memory of) Lily Potter
Bishop/king's-black = Snape
Bishop/queen's-white = Remus lupin
Knight/king's = Harry Potter
Knight/queen's = Sirius Black
Tower/king's = Hagrid
Tower/queen's = McGonagall
Pawns = Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny, Flitwick, Sprout, Arthur Weasley, 
Molly Weasley

Black pieces;

King = Voldemort
Queen = Nagini
Bishop/king's-black = McNair?
Bishop/queen's-white = ????
Knight/king's = Barty Crouch Jr.
Knight/queen's = Wormtail
Tower/king's = Lucius Malfoy
Tower/queen's = ????
Pawns = Cornelius Fudge, Draco, Crabbe Sr., Goyle Sr., Avery, Nott, Les
trange, Mdm. Lestrange

Clearly, we need to know more about the enemies...

Note, as the story arc continues, some pawns almost certainly will be 
promoted, some major pieces demoted to pawns, and some characters deleted and 
replaced by others. Some may change sides. Note; If Snape does return to 
spying, he might show up on both sides of the board. (most probably as the 
black queen's bishop.)
