I got it for my son who is a sports nut. He loved it. It is full of trivia and facts. I would give this to anyone who loves sports and likes a challenge.

Fun But Somewhat Frustrating, 2008-11-11
I was very excited to find this for sale because my girlfriend and I had been looking for it for quite some time in every store we entered. We are both big fans of the Harry Potter books and the Harry Potter movies. I have read them all twice and she has read them all at least 3 times, and we own all 5 movies.

However, playing the game can be a bit of a trying experience. Many of the questions are simply too obscure. Perhaps they are aimed at the totally obsessed Potterphiles. Or maybe I am just too confident in my knowledge of things to admit that I'm not very good at this game. Either way, many of the questions are related to the names of actors who play minor roles, or about the slightest production details that only someone who is completely obsessed with everything Potter would have the slightest chance to know. Obviously, if the questions are too easy the game is no fun, but the same goes for when many of them are simply impossible.

Still, the game is fun to play for the most part, and as long as you go in prepared to be absolutely clueless on a large chunk of the questions, you can still enjoy it.

I would recommend this only for fairly hardcore Potter fans, though, as casual players will likely be very much in the dark on much of the content. It seems that just having seen the movies is not enough.
