Best Harry Potter Board Games
J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books hit the pop culture scene like a revolution. And like any true phenomenon, they spawned a series of board games -- some better than others.

Casting Stones Game
In this game, players compete to cast spells, potions and charms. There's a rock-paper-scissors element to the game, but it's much more complex than that. The pieces are collectible.

Dicers - Collectible Harry Potter Dice
The starter pack comes with six dice (Harry Potter, Hagrid, Snape, Malfoy, Hermione, Sorting Hat). Three levels of play make for a game that can fit many skill levels, and the dice are actually clear cubes with small figures inside.

Harry Potter Halls of Hogwarts
Players race through an ever-changing maze of halls and classrooms to be the first to complete seven assignments.

Internet Games
From About's Shawna Priwer, a collection of trivia games, word games, crossword puzzles and more.

Mystery at Hogwarts
A look at Harry Potter's first board game, Mystery at Hogwarts. It could be described as a revved-up version of Clue.

Roleplaying Games

Whomping Willow Game
This dexterity game challenges players to navigate through the spirited Willow tree to help Harry and his friends without being whomped by its branches. This feature includes video of the game in action.
