The Harry Potter Wizards Chess Set is not ideal for the serious chess player but ideal for introducing kids to chess in a familiar, fun way. That being said, if you have bought this set due to it being a “Wizard’s” chess set, it does the job perfectly. If they had made the board a little bigger and added a bit of weight to the chess pieces, the set would have been perfect. The set is not good enough for serious gameplay due to the pieces being too lightweight and the board feeling slightly cramped up. This set was never made to play professional chess play so it would not be fair to criticize it for not being suitable for a regulation game of chess. The size of the board is also very small which can make the pieces cramped up. The fact that it folds up is not ideal for gameplay since one or the other section may end up not sitting perfectly flat which can hinder gameplay. The board – which is made up of cardboard – folds up in four sections and it not as good as the pieces. The pieces replicate the movie chessmen almost perfectly. The craftsmanship really shows through when you compare the chessmen to the ones in the Harry Potter movie chess scene. The appearance of the pieces is also very good and the shapes are really well defined. So, I would advise handling the pieces with care. In case you drop a piece on the floor and it breaks, you may not be able to use the ‘reparo’ spell to repair it. It’s not by any means the highest quality but still durable enough for kids to handle (or mishandle). The chess pieces of this set are made up of moderately heavy plastic mixed with another material that provides some flexibility.
