Harry Potter The Final Challenge Wizards 2007 Deagostini Chess Set (Complete 32 pieces) Plus Extra Dragon Chess Set (Incomplete 24 pieces)

WOW! BEST CHESS EVER ... HARRY POTTER COLLECTABLE WIZARD CHESS SET BY DEAGOSTINI. THIS CHESS SET WAS PUBLISHED WEEKLY IN 2007. EACH ISSUE CAME WITH MAGAZINE AND PARTS FOR THE CHESS SET OR CHESS BOARD.
 
THE SET INCLUDES 32 CHESS PIECES THAT ARE MADE TO EXACT DETAIL TO THE FAMOUS HARRY POTTER CHESS SCENE FROM THE FIRST MOVIE THE PHILOSOPHERS STONE (1997). PLEASE SEE SCREENSHOT FROM A SCENE OF THE MOVIE. IMAGINE YOU HAVE JUST SEEN YOUR FIRST HARRY POTTER MOVIE, HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE. IT WAS EXCITING AND VERY DRAMATIC, ESPECIALLY THE SCENE OF THE CHESS GAME WHERE RON SACRIFICED HIMSELF SO HARRY COULD CHECKMATE THE WHITE KING.
 
AS IN THE MOVIE THE CROACHING PAWNS SITS ON PEDASTALS AND WHEN HIT WITH A LARGER PIECE SMASHES IN TWO PIECES LUCKILY THEY CAN BE CLIPPED BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.

THESE WIZARDS CHESS PIECES COME WITH SPECIAL BATTERY COMPARTMENTS WHICH CREATE SOME NICE LIGHT AND SOUND AFFECTS. AFTER ALL THESE YEARS SOME OF THE AFFECTS DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE ON SOME PIECES.
