This is the best chess set I've ever seen.
It is beautiful, and detailed, and I haven't had it long, but it all feels really solid like it's going to last.
It's not just for Harry Potter fans either.
It's really for anyone who wants a big amazing chess set that will draw attention in any room of your house.
If you can afford to spend this kind of money on a chess set then look no further.
This set is an impressive collectable, and it's practically art.
It looks that good!

If you are a hardcore Harry Potter fan, this chess piece is a definite must-have! One of the best item to collect. Yes, it is pricey but it is worth it. I bought this with the intention of passing this down after my generation because surely this is an item that will last. The chess board and the pieces are just stunning! The details are intricate and precise. The gold brush strokes on the chess pieces are not perfectly done but I think this also gives them character. They all look amazing - surely the crown jewels of the whole set.

I have collected many chess sets over the years, and admired the full-size set in HP and the Philosopher's Stone.
I finally broke down and purchased this recreation, and it is much better than it appears in the photo.
The pieces are substantial and the detail is quite good.
I'm very glad we purchased the set.

This chess board is so cool. I bought a table exclusively for this board, felted it, and mounted it atop. It stands as the living room centerpiece, and awaits anyone daring enough to challenge me at chess!!!

Have little doubt, this product is BEAUTIFUL. And the size is IMPRESSIVE (when the box arrived, I was shocked at how big and heavy it was, and literally astounded when I opened it up and saw the board and pieces). The detail is largely very precise, and very well crafted, even being a product manufactured in China (if that bothers anyone).The board itself has to be at least 15 pounds. The outside borders and legs (all covered in great details) feels like some sort of metal, and is undoubtedly where the majority of the weight lies. The actual checkered board is a plexiglass plate held in place by three wooden strips underneath the board. It has a faux marble print on it, covered in a high sheen. When looked at closely, you can see the pixelation of the print, and the thin borders between each rank and file, but starting just a few inches back, the pattern looks simply awesome.Now, the PIECES are where the most greatness of this product is. When I first saw the board, I was impressed. But when I opened up the protective box of the pieces and saw them, I couldn't help but say, "Oh WOW!" Ranging up to 5 1/2 inches tall, their size is SHOCKING (but great). Each piece is SO cool, and looks very much as each piece in chess SHOULD. Even with this being a themed set, it's not a case (like with Noble Collection's Lord of the Rings set) where the pieces are styled after characters, and therefor difficult to remember what is what. In this set, the knight looks like a knight (perhaps one of the coolest pieces at that), the rook looks like a rook, the bishop looks like a bishop. This is what makes the set truly timeless. The pieces are solid, feel like stone, and are just great. But be careful in removing them from their protective packaging! They are in there VERY tightly, and some parts on the pieces (such as the knight's weapon, the bishop's staff, or shields) demand great care, as they can be fragile under the wrong conditions! And the size of the pieces CAN sometimes make gameplay a bit awkward (especially the knight, which takes up more space than its square affords), but as the board is already so large, I wouldn't really want it to be any bigger to fit the pieces better. The issue is tolerable.There WERE a couple very minor flaws with a couple of my pieces (a touch of gold paint missing on one of my rook's shields, etc.)[...].Even with the minor faults, this is TRULY a great set. It's gotten nothing but great praises from everyone who has seen it. If you can snag it during a sale, great! But even if you purchase it at full price, you can DEFINITELY see why the set runs such a price tag as it does.A great buy, for a great collectors item that can be passed down and admired/enjoyed for years to come!
