    Mystery at Hogwarts

    It bears more than a passing resemblance to Clue, but Mystery at Hogwarts has just enough originality to warrant a place in your game collection. A roaming ghost and from die are among the enhancements, and the game works well with the Harry Potter theme. There are secret passages you must find, which makes it different from Clue. You move around a Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry board and try to guess which student wizard used which spell and where.

    It's designed for two to six players (it's best with at least three players), ages 8 and above, just the right age group for Harry's entry into Hogwarts. Players enjoy the excellent artwork on the game board, game pieces, and cards.
