Harry Potter enthusiasts can currently find significant discounts on the official Monopoly board game, inspired by the beloved book and film series. This special edition of Monopoly, which debuted last summer, is part of Amazon`s limited-time promotions, often available during major sales events. These offers are popular and tend to sell out quickly, but fans can also find deals on other popular Monopoly versions, including special editions.
Harry Potter Monopoly: A Magical Twist on a Classic
This unique rendition of the classic board game immerses players in the Wizarding World, incorporating characters, iconic locations, and original artwork from the Harry Potter saga. Designed for 2 to 6 players and suitable for ages 8 and up, the game features six intricately crafted metal tokens, including the Hogwarts Express, Hagrid`s Motorbike, The Knight Bus, Hippogriff, Thestral, and Firebolt.
While maintaining the core mechanics of traditional Monopoly, the Harry Potter edition introduces several enchanting modifications. Instead of conventional currency, players compete to accumulate “House Points” for their chosen Hogwarts House: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff. As players navigate the board, they can use these House Points to acquire famous properties such as locations within Hogwarts Castle, Hogsmeade Village, Diagon Alley, and even more ominous spots like Malfoy Manor and the Dursley`s home on Privet Drive. Adding “House Crests” to owned properties increases rent. The four Hogwarts House Common Rooms replace the traditional railroads, though interestingly, the jail remains unnamed, not taking on the infamous title of Azkaban.
A magical addition comes in the form of “Owl Post” cards, which substitute for the classic Chance and Community Chest cards. Each Owl Post card is designed to resemble a letter delivered by an owl from Hogwarts and is displayed on a custom stand featuring a Hedwig figurine.
Expand Your Wizarding World Collection
Beyond the board game, fans have opportunities to enrich their Harry Potter collection. The complete eight-film collection is available on 4K Blu-ray, perfect for a movie marathon while playing the game.
