The silver and gold plated Quidditch Chess Set looks like a valuable family antique passed down for generations (or perhaps stolen by a magical ancestor on a secret visit to Hogworts!). But in reality, it’s a totally modern and downright fun way to while away the hours. Gryffindor or Slytherin; Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff? Choose your team and pit them against any of the houses. Die-cast, enameled golden and silver playing pieces feature such icons as the Quidditch Cup and the Golden Snitch, whilst the pawns boast house crests, set atop a hardwood game board with 24 karat gold plated accents and a storage compartment for the playing pieces. A truly special gift for fans of Harry Potter, both young and old. Plus, scientists say that playing chess can improve mental age by up to 14 years; NobleCollection.com.
