This is not your typical chess set.
When you open the box, you will get a fold-out chess board (very durable). The board has the exact same colors as the chess set seen in Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone. You will also receive two complete sets of chess pieces, designed using the same sketches Warner Bros. employees used to create the life-size pieces in the movie; they are completely identical and also made of a thick-plastic type of material, so they are very hard to damage (but not impossible).
Also included in the box is a set of instructions that have easy-to-read instructions on how to play chess. They have pictures showing the different ways each piece can move.
Whether you're a chess fan or not, if you love Harry Potter, then you must have this chess set; makes a great decoration on any coffee table.
New: The Rocky Mountain News recently published an article about the influence Harry Potter has had on getting kids hooked on chess.
The wizards chess scene from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone has created more chess interest among children than any movie since Searching for Bobby Fischer.
International Master Jeremy Silman composed the chess scene to be accurate from a chess perspective and to fit the movie plot. Here is the unedited chess position designed for the movie with white to move.
