About the game
Scrabble: Harry Potter features gameplay familiar to those who already know Scrabble, but in addition to the traditionally allowed words, players can use their "Wizarding World" vocabulary to earn "Magical Word" bonuses. Character names, places from the wizarding world, spells, and potion names can all be played onto the game board to score points. Players can also increase their score by completing directives from Harry Potter cards. Scrabble: Harry Potter is an entirely different game than Mattel's Scrabble: Harry Potter Edition.
