I would have preferred CODENAMES: DUET but my wife is a fan of this IP and asked in the fall of 2021 that it be placed on her wishlist. I remember being a bit surprised by this - we struggled through our first play ever of the game and ended up playing incorrectly - the portion of the rulebook concerning multi-player is very confusing. Anyway, she received her own copy of the game from our son in December of 2021 and (once we figured out how to play it two-player) the game quickly became a big hit. UPDATE: April 24, 2022. Played two-player all day long in order to explore and learn the game and found it to be both fun and challenging! (this session turned into an 8+ game marathon!).

Normal clues seem to generally be better than Harry Potter-specific clues, which seems to defeat the purpose.

Really struggled with this one in a family of bigtime HP fans. Played fine but so specific it was a tough clue to give.
