Harry Potter Clue Review, A Family Board Game

Play Harry Potter Clue For Family Friendly Fun

Finally, I can say that I HAVE played the Harry Potter Clue game and that I have LOVED it. (And not just because I won, either!) During our first game, Aunt Robin drank a potion that she shouldn't have and was dead before she knew what had happened and then, my son was taken out by a fire-breathing dragon, leaving me the winner. I hadn't yet solved the mystery of who kidnapped Neville Longbottom but I'm sure I would have eventually.

I have played and enjoyed all three of the Harry Potter games shown further down on this page. Harry Potter Clue deserves to join them as a great game and quite probably as one of the best Harry Potter games. It was on my Christmas wish list and I was thrilled when my teenage boys received it from their Grandparents. The magic and mystery of Hogwarts IS the perfect setting for a Clue game...all of the characters, potions, spells and locations are familiar to Harry Potter fans. The game was fun and it lived up to all the wonderful reviews I had read about it.

What Is Harry Potter Clue About?

What is this version of Clue all about?

In Harry Potter Clue, you discover the secrets of Hogwarts. A student has disappeared and you have to solve the disppearance. The game is played by moving around the board and making suggestions but, as you might expect at Hogwarts, you have to be careful of wheels that reveal secret passages, hidden staircases and even the Dark Mark. In the end, you must go to Dumbledore's office to make your accusation. Amazon says that "kids love taking on the roles of their favorite characters." Not only did my son love doing so but I did, too!

Harry Potter Clue Reviews

"I always liked the original Clue game as a kid but I like the additional twists and turns in the Harry Potter Clue even better. They add more dimension to a great game."~ Isabella


Harry Potter Clue "is a bit different from the original clue game because you can lose house points and that can take you out of the game just when you think you've got the mystery solved, but that turns out to be a nice twist. Players don't really have to know about the world of Harry Potter to play the game and win, but fans of the septology will enjoy it. Clue is also a great game of skill. Although there is certainly an element of luck in the game, it's mental skill and the ability to make inferences and deductions that helps someone win. I definitely recommend the game." ~ Janis


"I bought this for my wife who is a Harry Potter fanatic. I like the books and movies, but am not much into remakes of clue. But once I played this, I was hooked. I love the randomness, the fairness, and the fact of the possibility that no one can win. It is worthwhile for anyone, and a great buy." ~ Christopher Ingle

"A neat and different version of Clue that should please Clue and Harry Potter fans alike. But thanks to the House Point aspect, it's the first version of Clue I've seen where so many people lose before the game is over!" ~ Rubeus Hagrid

This section includes more of the top-rated, best-selling Harry Potter games that you play on a board. Some of them have been discontinued which means new copies can be more expensive but if you click through to Amazon, you may find Amazon's private sellers have brand-new copies available for less than the prices shown here. By the way, you can click through on any of the links on this page to find more information. You will not be obligated to buy anything.

I have deliberately excluded electronic games, including the tremendously popular Harry Potter Scene It? because I believe that sometimes it is just plain fun to turn off the electronic gadgets and play a family game.

I have also excluded the Harry Potter trading card games as once again, I don't think they are quite what you want if you are looking for a game to play together as a family.
