About this game
Hogwarts is under attack… Decide its fate in a spellbinding new board game from MinaLima, the graphic designers of the Harry Potter film universe. Lord Voldemort’s arrival at the castle is imminent. Prepare for what lies ahead by honing your spell-casting skills, exploring the storied grounds of Hogwarts, and laying the groundwork for a battle between good and evil. But will you do so as a loyal Hogwarts student, or as a member of the Dark Forces, seeking to bring about a new era of darkness? The choice is yours. —description from the publisher
