What this is
In Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle, players battle for the fate of the Wizarding World over their 7 years at Hogwarts. In the game, players take on the role of a Hogwarts student: Harry, Ron, Hermione or Neville, each with their own personal deck of cards that's used to acquire resources. By gaining influence, players add more cards to their deck in the form of iconic characters, spells, and magical items.
