We can’t expect anything less from a world that introduced us to invisibility cloaks and extendable ears! They also use the flat “mining” helmets, which look nice enough from the front, but the stud pointing backwards (for the lamp when used on miners) does look a bit weird when seen from the side or back. During the Christmas Feast in the 1991–1992 school year, Harry obtained his very own Wizard's Chess set in a number of Wizard Crackers, among other things. But there is no way around it if you are to build a chess game – and you do get a pretty neat and fully functional chess game with this set.
We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. The size is perfect for playing chess, and as noted the rubber tyres underneath work well in preventing the board sliding around on the table. Again, grey pieces are used, which I will replace, once I have sourced some in black and white from Bricklink. The chessboard was a type of checkerboard that consisted of 64 squares (eight rows and eight columns) arranged in two alternating colours (light and dark). Giant Wizard's Chess kings appeared as Confoundables during the Calamity which affected the wizarding world in the 2010s, guarding the Philosopher's Stone.
Looking at it from beneath, you see how it has been build to keep it light, yet sturdy enough for play. They were standing on the edge of a huge chessboard, behind the black chessmen, which were all taller than they were and carved from what looked like black stone.

Being less a play set, and more for display (or playing chess) is probably the reason the set is recommended for age 10 and up rather than the more usual 8+ years. I would normally have expected something more tower like, but to keep it more figure like, I think it works well.
During the 1988–1989 school year, Jacob's sibling and several of their friends participated in the Walter Aragon Wizard Chess Competition, named after former Hogwarts Headmaster Walter Aragon, in Flourish and Blotts.

The "Dragon Variation of the Slytherin Defence" appears to be a pun on the real-world Sicilian Defence, Dragon Variation.Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. for the best-played game of chess Hogwarts has seen in many years, I award Gryffindor house fifty points. The Isle of Lewis Chess Set (Wizard’s Edition) should look familiar to Harry Potter fans as it’s almost identical to the set seen in The Philosopher’s Stone.
The huge Hogwarts Icons – Collector’s Edition set came with a display stand for all the anniversary golden minifigures. But being a full chess game, you do need a lot of pieces – and in particular you need multiple of all (two kings, two queens, …, sixteen pawns), so it does become repetitive. Without these technologies, things like personalised recommendations, your account preferences, or localisation may not work correctly. The Harry Potter Wizard Chess Set includes 32 moulded plastic chess pieces (each inspired by the grand statues seen in the film), and a folding playing board.

In 1991, Minerva McGonagall chose to place an enormous Wizard's Chessboard in the third of the Underground Chambers acting as security for the Philosopher's Stone.
