   Munchkin Deluxe Harry Potter won't surprise you, if you've already played a Munchkin game. This one is not different, it just wears a stylish coat on top of all that gameplay. But the cards themselves have sufficiently different effects, although otherwise it's about defeating monsters, raising levels, hurting others, and trying to survive. Equipment cards and luck are your best allies. Munchkin Deluxe Harry Potter is all that Munchkin is, but a magic wand turned it into a serious fantasy from Hogwarts Castle.

   It amazes me that this is one of my most played versions of Munchkin. In any case, I can't mark this any higher than a 7 because of the issues I have with the gameplay and the art. First of all, the abilities of the different houses is unbalanced, especially because there are so many allies in the treasure deck. Secondly, some of the monsters lack the common tags for horde monsters such as 'Goblin' which leads to confusion in a blender game. Thirdly, the monster levels seem randomly assigned. Finally, the art has been taken from the movies, and not very well in my opinion. All that being said, props have to be given for Avada Kedavra appearing as a Curse! card which reads 'You are dead unless you discard an ally'. This is an interesting and powerful effect not seen in any other Munchkin set!

   I prefer the new rules and player abilities. Adds variation. The thematics are excellent. The added free monster effects are great. Still luck heavy and kingmaking.
