This fabulous game of mystery is adapted to incorporate all the Harry Potter characters and places of interest. 'Dark Forces Are At Work – A friend has seemingly vanished'. Playing Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Luna or Neville, you must try to discover 'Who Done It', while also deducing what spell or item they used and where the dastardly deed happened.
