All in all, if you have the money to spend, buying the Harry Potter Final Challenge Chess Set is a no brainer. This is the closest thing you can get to experiencing the chess battle scene from the Sorcerer’s Stone movie. Incredible finishing, high-quality materials and craftsmanship, and tons of Harry Potter Wizard chess fun. Just don’t expect the chess pieces to move with your voice! Lego Harry Potter Chess Set During the 1988–1989 school year, Jacob's sibling and Chiara Lobosca played Wizard's Chess to help themselves think the situation through after Ismelda Murk attempted to capture Chiara and reveal her werewolf identity. [10] 1990s [ ]
WIZARD'S CHESS - A beautiful recreation of the chess set seen at the climax of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, where Hogwarts' finest ever chess game was played. After some time, the trio of Harry, Ron and Hermione went off, looking for the Philospher's stone. Facing many obstacles, they find themselves on the massive chess board, playing against self moving pieces. They could not cross to the next room until they defeat the self moving pieces. That's when the fun starts. Ron, as the best of them three, decides that Hermione should be the rook, Harry should be the bishop. He decided to be a knight. The chess pieces of this Harry Potter Wizard’s chess set are made of high-grade plastic. They are heavier than normal chess sets and also very sturdy. IM Jeremy Silman has won the American Open, the National Open, and the U.S. Open. Very few players have won all three prestigious events. However, Mr. Silman is better known as a lecturer, teacher, and author of over thirty-five chess books plus a book on psychological gambling called Zen and the Art of Casino Gaming. Maxwell/Macmillan, Cadogan, and Microsoft Press published Silman's books and many have been translated into German and French. In addition, English, Dutch, German, and American magazines have featured over one hundred chess articles written by Silman. We’ve been asked about the ‘ Harry Potter Chess Set’ more times than you can shake a wand at. So, after studying the scene we noticed that the chess pieces are the spitting image of our limited edition, red and cream Isle of Lewis chessmen.During the 1988–1989 school year, Jacob's sibling and several of their friends participated in the Walter Aragon Wizard Chess Competition, named after former Hogwarts Headmaster Walter Aragon, in Flourish and Blotts. Jacob's sibling managed to defeat the esteemed chess player Celine Castillon of Beauxbatons in the tournament.

Murphy McNully played Wizard's Chess with Jacob's sibling to test their strategy. [8] They would then often play with each other between Quidditch practices. At some point after the start of the 1987–1988 school year, Orion Amari also played with Murphy as one of several activities from which he hoped to regain mental balance after he was injured in a Quidditch friendly. [9] 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 set is not good enough for serious gameplay due to the pieces being too lightweight and the board feeling slightly cramped up. 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. That being said, if you have bought this set due to it being a “Wizard’s” chess set, it does the job perfectly.The pieces in Th e Isle of Lewis Chess Set (Wizard’s Edition) have been made in England to the exact specifications of the original artefacts – and their cardinal and ivory colouring make them a perfect match for Harry and Ron’s set.
Aside from the pieces moving hands-free and clobbering each other with chairs, the fictional game looks a lot like regular chess and aficionados will recognise the chessmen as the medieval, and appropriately mysterious, Isle of Lewis pieces. The set is basically a toy so you can’t really expect it to provide a professional gameplay experience. It does a great job of bringing the Sorcerer’s Stone movie chess scene to life with its beautifully designed chessmen that look exactly like the ones in the movie. Some of the pieces are a little top heavy due to the added weight of the weapons the pieces are carrying. Other than that, this is the perfect chess set to combine your love for Harry Potter and chess into one.If you are like me, you probably grew up reading (and loving) the Harry Potter books. More importantly, if you are like me and also developed a love for playing chess along the way, investing in a well-made Harry Potter movie themed chess set just makes sense. During the Christmas holidays in the 1984–1985 school year, Rowan Khanna got a new Wizard's Chess set from their parents, and invited Jacob's sibling to play the game in the Great Hall when they were on break from Christmas decorating.
