Fanhome’s Harry Potter Chess Collection Is Real Wizard’s Chess — Sound Effects, Exploding Pawns and a Dragon Set

ByThe House Elves at Aguamenti

Knight to H3 — and this time the knight talks back. Fanhome has opened pre-orders on a new Harry Potter Chess collection, a build-it-issue-by-issue subscription that assembles not one but two complete interactive chess sets packed with the kind of live effects that get it closer to actual Wizard’s Chess than anything on our shelves.

Two Chess Sets, One Subscription

The headline set is inspired by the Wizard’s Chess of the films — the one Ron commanded beneath Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. These pieces don’t just sit there: the collection includes exploding pawns, a white knight and black bishop with sound effects, magnetic “wand magic,” and even a Time-Turner. Early issues stack up fast — issue 1 alone brings the black rook, the wand magnet, and a digital magazine.

The second build is the Harry Potter Dragon Chess Set, with dynamic lights and sounds across the board — a fire-breathing queen, leaping knights, and rook towers that glow like Hogwarts windows.

Learn Chess as You Build

Each issue’s digital magazine carries an expert-reviewed chess curriculum in two tiers: the Chess Apprentice Path (movement, positioning, checkmate basics) and the Chess Challenger Path (openings, strategy, endgame closures). It’s pitched at families learning together as much as collectors.

How the Subscription Works

  • Intro offer: issues 1 and 2 for $1.95, with issue 3 free
  • After that: monthly packages at $9.99 per issue (75 issues total), plus $2.50 per issue shipping after the first package
  • Tariff note: a $1-per-issue surcharge applies from assembly stage 4 due to current U.S. tariffs
  • Premium add-on: two wood-and-velvet storage boxes for $1.25 extra per issue
  • First package: ships 19–29 business days after ordering; cancel anytime
