Mattel Original Harry Potter Chess Set from Sorcerer's Stone Film R

First of all, I have to say that before I bought this chess set, I had been quite skeptical. On the one hand I expected some fragile chess pieces, but the beauty of the chessmen convinced me of buying this product. (By the way, I'm German, so I hope my English isn't too bad) After getting my 'Harry Potter Chess Set' and after having already played a lot with it... I can just say that it's awesome!!! 1. The material: The plastic isn't just hard. It's mixed with a flexible plastic, thus the chess pieces are very stable and the thinner parts, such as the crosier of the bishop, are flexible. So the chess pieces constist of a really durable material, a material that is simultaneously high quality... because it feels just right. And although the figures are hollow, they are perfectly balanced. 2. Appearance: The chess pieces are precise detail crafted... I haven't found any processing erros, the chessmen look just perfect. In fact all chess pieces have this marble style :) The chessboard is big - big enough to play and big enough so that the chess pieces don't look too big, In fact it's appearance is kind of perfect too... it has this marble effect (although it's just a woody board) 3. Fun? Yes, incredible fun! I have high respect of sacrificing my own awesome looking pawns... and playing this chess is just like being in the middle ages... the whole game get's a deeper meaning than just playing with some figures. To sum it up, this is a very beautiful and durable chess set that makes a lot of fun! I highly recommend it. Greetings from Berlin :)

yo esperaba que fuera el tablero azul como la imagen de referencia (yo lo compre en especifico por el tablero azul), pero era negro eso por parte del proveedor ahora sobre el producto de fabrica un brazo de una pieza se rompió apenas que lo saque, (solo vacié la bolsa de piezas a mi cama) las blancas son mas bien grises y tiene unos puntos negros que no les da buena vista, el tablero es de cartón por lo que en mi opinión no me termina de agradar, no creo que sea la mejor calidad pero tampoco lo peor son solo cosas que me hubiera gustado saber antes de comprarlo las piezas las planero pintar pues si están bien detalladas y mande a hacer con resina epoxica el tablero azul, consideren que las piezas son muy grandes en comparacion a otros tableros de ajedrez, creo que vale la pena comprar si se encuentra en oferta

The set is exactly as described and very well constructed. It was a gift for one of our grandsons and we are sure he will enjoy it for many years to come.

Die Figuren sind sauber modelliert und fühlen sich, trotz Plastik, "echt" an. Gerade bei Schachfiguren bevorzuge ich eigentlich Holz, hier mache ich als Harry Potter-Fan aber eine Ausnahme. Der Schwerpunkt bei den Figuren ist gut ausbalanciert, sodass ein Umfallen bei leichtem Ankommen am Brett eher unwahrscheinlich ist.

This set is fantastic. The pieces look just like the movie! The knights are a little big for maneuvering around the board, but that's a minor flaw. The board is cardboard and folds up to fit in the box, so you do see the crease while you're playing. I haven't had any pieces break, and the price is just right.
