Advantages: Good fun for all the family

Disadvantages: Difficult for anyone not a fan of Harry Potter

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 throughout the game - I thought the 'House Points' cards were a nice little touch, cards which move you forwards or backwards based on situations that 'you' have gotten into at Hogwarts - the kids loved these! But mostly, this is just a nice, easy to follow board game, with a fun mdern twist with the use of the DVD.

This is definately only a game for Harry Potter fans - we had one player who had only seen one of the films and was completely lost! A game for adults and kids alike though - anyone old enough to know the Harry Potter stories will love this game!

I believe the only difference between this and the first edition of the game is that the 4th film is now included in the questions. Not really worth upgrading if you already have the first game, but definately worth the money if you're looking for a new take on a family board game!

Summary: A must for all Harry Potter fans!
