Mattel Harry Potter Scene It 2nd Edition

Are your family bored? Then why not get board? The family board game has fallen out of favour in recent years, and I for one think this is a bad thing. I remember when I was a lad, sitting around a table and playing board games, such as Monopoly, or Trivial pursuits. And guess what we did? We talked, and had fun together. Too many families these days, do not make enough time to be together. Its a shame. Now, I agree that the selection of board games available, were not strong enough to pull the kids away from their ps2. They became more of a bored game, than a board game. They were boring, tedious and pretty lame. That is, until now. ...  Read the complete review

I bought this for my partner's birthday a year ago. She is a big Harry Potter fan and is always bragging about how she knows more about Harry Potter then anyone else so this was the chance to prove it. Scene it has many versions in it's collection e.g. movies. It comes boxed with a game board, trivia cards, two dice, playing pieces and the dvd. You make your way round a board to the finish line by answering questions based on video clips and sounds. Complete the missing letters, see who is missing from a scene and triumph with your trophy. You begin playing by inserting the dvd and setting up the board. The board is circular shaped ...  Read the complete review

Being a HUGE Harry Potter fan, I simply had to buy the Scene It DVD game. Featuring hundreds of clips from the Harry Potter movies and thousands of questions about the series, it was my idea of board game heaven - and I wasn't disappointed. The thing I love most about this game is the amount of variation where gameplay is concerned. There are so many different types of questions - video clips and question cards as expected - but also 'guess the character by their voice' and 'make a character's name from the shuffling letters' to name but a few. My only criticism of the game would be that on a number of occasions the game will play a long video clip ...  Read the complete review

We recieved the Harry Potter Version 2 Scene It game for Christmas this year, and although we hadn't played the first version of the game, we have both the original 'Lights Camera Action' and the 'Friends' versions, so knew what to expect. We are all big Harry Potter fans, so this game was perfect for us, and we were not let down! It is a basic DVD bard game, only with a Harry Potter twist. You watch clips on the DVD, answer questions on the clips, or based on your knowledge of the Harry Potter films. Get the questions correct and you can move your piece round the game board towards the end. Obviously there are some extra little bits and bobs to do ...  Read the complete review

We have both Harry Potter 'Scene it' games and love them. A word of warning hoever, it's best that you have at least watched the films or you won't get very far in answering any questions ! So you may want to leave it exclusively for the kids if you have no clue about the world of Harry Potter !! The box contains the board, the questions, house points cards, dice, category reference cards, the interactive DVD and the game pieces with which to move around the board. The interactive DVD is the main part. You roll the dice to reveal how many spaces to move and/or what type of 'question' you will need to answer. There is "my play", "all ...  Read the complete review
