Does anyone intend on collecting the new Harry Potter step-by-step wizard chess magazine?

I didnt have a clue about it until i walked into WH Smith today and there was a huge pile of them, and being as impulsive as i am with anything to do with HP i bought 2 copies straight away, to find out its only about learning to play chess!   :rofl:
i think ill collect it as it will look very nice on a coffee table in my living room doubt it will ever get played though  :rofl: :rofl:

anyone else know about it? or going to collect it?

Is this it?  It sounds really interesting!

yeah! its really good! each chess piece has sound effects and they are all magnetic and the wand is also magnetic and moves then! like magic lol

It is really good can overseas people subscribe to it? im sure its gonna turn up on  :ebay: at some point lol

I saw this yesterday in Smiths although it had a wand attached to it too - is that the right thing?

yup its a magnetic wand and the pieces are also magnetic so its like magic when you move each piece lol  ;D im really impressed with it   :)

Hy.

I have collected it. I sold it because it was too big for me.

But now there is starting a new set with wonderful pieces. So I might start collecting again.

You could take a look at the german set:

get it right smelly you use the wands to move the pices by using repelling magnatisum/magnectics so you point your wand at it and the piece moves away from you a cross the board,
so now adays kids need a wand to play chess insted of actualy getting up and moving the peices themselves tut tut. feeding the playstation generation ;D ;D (joke)

free time-turner  :o :o nice

 :o

Pinksamstar, I think you need to take your new wand in hand and soundly thwack someone with it! ;)

Nice looking but what will the cost of it be?

hahaha dont worry i got 2 incase i brake one on "accident"  :rofl: :rofl:

wow akimira! that looks amazing i wish i knew a little german though but the pictures sold it for me lol ! im definitly gonna collect the whole set!
]its quite pricey, the first one was £1.99 but its going to be weekly and £3.99p quite a lot but worth it for a potter fix hehehehehe

Theres 32 pieces to collect. So the minimum is 8 months to collect it.

1 * £1.99 = 1.99
31 * £3.99 = 123.69

To collect the whole set would be £125.68

That does not include the issues with the board and box or binder to hold the pieces in!

Wow I think I will pass  :o any way I have a nice chess set allready  :rofl:

De Orc  ;D

Does anyone know exactly how many issues there are?  Boggy emailed the publisher but hasn't had a reply yet.  As the next issue has two chess pieces I suspect there will be a lot of issues with no chess pieces, just other items.  This could be another unending magazine, like the Star Trek one.  That said the Castle in number one is gorgeous  :-*

There seem to be 49 so far on the German website....  :-\ - then again there seem to be weeks you could miss like the 2 badge week :rofl:

i think its well wort it!!!! ;D
i will be selling each issue as they come out on ebay if anybody, heres interested as the the 1st few issues are the most desired and sell out pretty fast.

if you subscribe and set up a direct debit with De Agostini they send you £30 worth of goodies caps, watches, posters, binders CRACKING!!!

if you watch the TV advertisment at the start of it at the bottom in white writeing it states howmany issues there will be... but i cant remember sorry??? ??? ???

I might send my little sisters some copies as they both are quite good at chess.

Not me though... :rofl:
