Scene It? Deluxe Harry Potter 2nd Edition

I got it for my son who is a sports nut. He loved it. It is full of trivia and facts. I would give this to anyone who loves sports and likes a challenge.

I was very excited to find this for sale because my girlfriend and I had been looking for it for quite some time in every store we entered. We are both big fans of the Harry Potter books and the Harry Potter movies. I have read them all twice and she has read them all at least 3 times, and we own all 5 movies.

However, playing the game can be a bit of a trying experience. Many of the questions are simply too obscure. Perhaps they are aimed at the totally obsessed Potterphiles. Or maybe I am just too confident in my knowledge of things to admit that I'm not very good at this game. Either way, many of the questions are related to the names of actors who play minor roles, or about the slightest production details that only someone who is completely obsessed with everything Potter would have the slightest chance to know. Obviously, if the questions are too easy the game is no fun, but the same goes for when many of them are simply impossible.

Still, the game is fun to play for the most part, and as long as you go in prepared to be absolutely clueless on a large chunk of the questions, you can still enjoy it.

I would recommend this only for fairly hardcore Potter fans, though, as casual players will likely be very much in the dark on much of the content. It seems that just having seen the movies is not enough.

This is a great game. We actually have 3 "scene it" games, and this one is played the most. Our 10 and 13 year old girls love it. It's one of the few games that both my wife and I really enjoy playing with the kids. It looks great on the 42" plasma, and it doesn't get boring!

This game is so much fun. It helps you to remember facts from all the books to help you prepare for the upcoming movie.

If you already know a lot about the Harry Potter movies and books, this game will be interesting and fun for you. If you know "some" about the HP series, this game will probably just frustrate you. My 9-yr-old has read all the books, seen all the movies, but is not able to successfully do many of the puzzles. It is a challenging game, mainly for teens and up, I would say, as far as difficulty. We enjoy playing "Party mode" best, as it doesn't take as long. Scoring is all on the honor system. I consider myself a pretty huge Potter fan, but still couldn't answer many of the questions regarding the actors and such.
