Advantages: Beautifully presented game, Cluedo with added magic!
Disadvantages: None of course! It's magical!
If you're a total Harry Potter Geek like me, then you'll love this board game! The one picutred is the American version, but there is an English version of Cluedo available too! The game is suitable for younger Potter fans too - as rather than a character being murdered (like in normal cluedo) they have been 'kidnapped' by death eaters - still not nice, but less scary, and much easier than having to explain to young'uns that Hermionie isn't really dead!
Besides, you're going to solve the mystery and rescue Harry's companion anyway! The board shows rooms of Hogwarts and is beautifully presented. All the evil kidnappers are evil characters like Professor Umbridge, Drako Malfoy etc and the 'weapons' are spells, potions and magical objects.
It's fun to play, and certainly started a few Potter debates based on the magical objects you can collect to help you throughout the game.
Would certainly reccomend to Potter fans everywhere. Crack open the butterbeer, get some friends over and foil the death eaters once again!
Summary: Cluedo for magical folk (muggles can play too!)
