MinaLima’s ‘Harry Potter: Defenders of Hogwarts’ Board Game Is Officially Announced
Tabletop fans, this one’s for you: Harry Potter: Defenders of Hogwarts has been officially announced — a new board game built around the climactic Battle of Hogwarts from Deathly Hallows.
What makes it especially exciting is who’s behind it. The game is designed by MinaLima, the graphic-design studio responsible for the Wizarding World’s most iconic props, from the Marauder’s Map to the Daily Prophet. Game design duties are handled by award-winning industrial designer David Waterman.
Here’s what we know so far:
- Supports 2–5 players
- Sessions run up to 90 minutes
- You take on the defense of Hogwarts as Voldemort’s forces close in — and you can choose to play as a loyal student or side with the Dark Forces
- It’s live to back now via its official launch campaign
Given MinaLima’s track record for gorgeous, screen-accurate design, expectations are high for how this one will look on the table. If you’re a collector as much as a gamer, keep an eye out for the launch.
Will you be backing it? Let us know in the comments, and don’t forget to follow along for the latest Harry Potter news.
