Advantages: Lots of fun, dvd questions a good additon

Disadvantages: None

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 and can be opened up into a long oval. You can either play with the board closed for a short game or open for a longer game. I thought this was a great feature as the short game is so handy for when your a little short of time.

Once the board is set up you select your pieces, pieces listed at the end for those who want to know.

You roll both dice and make your move. One of the die is full of numbers and that shows you how far to move your playing piece and the second die shows you what kind of question you will be answering, the option are:

All play- Use your dvd disk to select an all play question. Everyone can answer this question. If the roller is the first person to answer correctly then they get another turn, if anyone else answers first then play continues to the next player.

My Play- Use your dvd remote to select a my play question. Only the roller can answer this question. You must get the question correct to roll again.

Trivia- Answer a question from the enclosed trivia cards the player must get the question correct to roll again.

Buzz- This is the game's version of a chance card. You read the card and do what it says. Your turn ends on picking up a buzz card.

You continue play with players progressing around the board untill you come to the end, this is where you enter Final Cut.

Once you enter the outer ring of final cut you select final cut on your dvd. You then need to answer a series of questions to be declared the winner. Get them right and glory is yours but get them wrong and you have to try all over again on your next turn.

In general it is a good game and I enjoyed playing it. You definately need the enclosed referance cards the first time you play as you forget what symbol on the dice means what but once you get the hang of it it's a really good game.

The inclusion of the dvd questions and clips make the game so much more interesting as it can get boring just reading questions of cards.

I am a fan of the scene it games in general and this is a great example of them.

Summary: A good game that any Harry Potter fan will love.
