Pictopia: Harry Potter Edition is a board game released in 2017 for 2–6 players, 25–45 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up.
Description from the publisher: Showcase your knowledge of J.K Rowling's wizarding world when you encounter one thousand picture trivia questions featuring the beloved characters, extraordinary places, magical creatures, and enchanted objects from the epic Harry Potter movies. Pictopia: Harry Potter Edition is a game of teamwork — with a competitive twist! Sometimes you work together and other times answer alone, but you wager your points every time! How much you wager depends on how well you know the pictures on the card — before you hear the question! Along the way are guess-my-answer questions that reveal how much you know about the other players.
Pictopia: Harry Potter Edition supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Pictopia: Harry Potter Edition is 25–45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Pictopia: Harry Potter Edition for ages 7 and up.
