Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Mystery at Hogwarts Game is a board game released in 2000 for 2–6 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. Its main mechanics are Roll / Spin and Move and Dice Rolling.
This Clue-style game comes with a game board, Fluffy Folder (for holding the solution), 2 special dice, 6 wizard hat pawns, 1 ghost pawn, 10 Hogwarts event cards, 6 Character cards, 6 Magic cards, 9 Room cards, 2 Summary cards, and a Check List Pad.
