Product Information

Of course, though, luck does play a big part in all of this, so while sometimes you’ll end up fighting against villains who bounce off of each other nicely you’ll also just battle ones who don’t. It was not normal fire; Crabbe had used a curse of which Harry had no knowledge: As they turned a corner the flames chased them as though they were alive, sentient, intent upon killing them. It was the most devastating battle of the war, with casualties including: Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, Severus Snape, Fred Weasley, Colin Creevey, Lavender Brown, and at least fifty more who fought against Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Snape was standing on Platform Nine and Three-Quarters next to a thin, sour-looking woman whom Harry recognised as Snape's mother. They can then place those 3 attack tokens onto a Villain card to show the amount of damage on that villain.

So here’s the gist; each game you must defeat a number of villains by purchasing new cards to make your deck better.It took place in the early hours of 2 May 1998, within the castle and on the grounds of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the mountainous region of Scotland. Outnumbered, Snape sent the suit of armour flying back against his attackers and dashed into a deserted classroom, where a loud crash was heard. Seamus Finnigan told the trio that the DA had been hiding out there for nearly two weeks, as neither Headmaster Snape nor the Carrows could get in. Hermione conjured a crystal flask out of thin air, and Harry lifted the silvery substance into the flask with his wand. The trio sprinted to the Whomping Willow, the entrance to the Shack, knowing that destroying the snake and defeating Voldemort was the only way to end it.

Dumbledore explains that Harry's wand's remarkable effects were directed only at Voldemort, who had tampered with the deepest laws of magic, and otherwise it was a wand like any other and so Hermione was able to break it. It may also be nice to know that even though each hero has a health track on their player board, they can’t die or be knocked out of the game. So if your 8 year old is already familiar with Harry Potter, while he/she may not pick up the game and play it own their own, there’s no reason why he/she couldn’t enjoy playing with you as well. By box seven there are evil wizards, giant snakes and Death Eaters everywhere and the playtime jumps up to around 2-hours as you battle against the seemingly never-ending tide of villain cards.In fact, the rulebook instructs those familiar with deck-building games to open Books 1, 2, and 3 all at once before playing their first game. On 1 August 1997, Minister for Magic Rufus Scrimgeour was secretly captured by Voldemort and interrogated for the whereabouts of Harry Potter. If you beat the pile of villains that grows with each new box opened then you win, but if they progress through every location before that happens then the bad guys win and you have to play it all over again. However, they immediately triggered a Caterwauling Charm, and a dozen cloaked and hooded Death Eaters dashed into the street from the Three Broomsticks. Fortunately, the contents in this expansion are modular so players can choose what to include and what to dump.
