TimetoPlayMag.com Ratings and Reviews
At TimetoPlayMag.com, we want to engage, inform and entertain our readers to give them the benefit of our knowledge, experience and the breadth of products we cover. We look at more than 10,000 new toys and children’s products every year, and our primary purpose is to help you make the best choices for the kids in your life.
Our goal is to give you the real story on what you’ll find when you bring a toy home. And we know that every kid and every family is different. That’s why we always say: “The hot toy is only hot if it’s hot for your child.”
Our editorial team has more than 100 years combined experience working in the toy industry. Our rating system ranks toys on 4 key criteria:
- Fun — Does it engage the child? Does it inspire imaginative play? Does it contribute to creative expression? Is it entertaining?
- Repeat Play OR Collectibility — Some toys are played with, some are collected. If we feel a toy is better suited for collectibility, we’ll rank it based on Collectibility instead of Repeat Play.
- Repeat Play — Will kids come back to it over time? Does the toy allow diverse imaginative play experiences? Does it provide longer-term play value?
- Collectibility — Some toys may have limited traditional play, but kids will treasure them as collectibles.
- Assembly/Instructions — Is the toy easy to assemble? Are the instructions clear?
Over the years we’ve learned a lot about what makes great toys and exciting play experiences. We want to help you create the best experiences for your kids and your family.
Ultimately, you’re the best judge of what you want to bring into your home — and what’s best for your kids. And because you’re an important part of the Time to Play family, we invite you to let us know if you ever find an error or have any ideas how we can better help you. After all, we exist for one reason: to help you have more fun!
Between the moving staircase and secret passages at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it can be tricky for players to find their way around LEGO's Harry Potter Hogwarts board game. The first player to successfully navigate the magical castle to collect all of their homework and get back to the common area is the winner.
This game is part of the LEGO Games lineup, a collection of games that kids build, play, and change. There is a buildable die and changeable rules to make each time you play new and exciting. Building takes about 30 minutes, but that's part of the fun. The object of the game is to travel around Hogwarts castle and collect all of your "homework"—spell, potions, etc. But just like in the real Hogwarts, surprises await. The paths can switch at almost any time, adding challenge and excitement to the game. The game takes about 30-40 minutes to play, and it's engaging enough to entertain the entire family.
The Hogwarts game comes with nine LEGO minifigures, five special microfigures (including Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Draco Malfoy, and Albus Dumbledore), four Hogwarts student microfigures (one from each house), 332 LEGO pieces, a rule booklet, and a building instruction booklet. The game is for two to four players.
LEGO games made a huge hit when they debuted in 2009. Combining great builds and sophisticated gameplay, these are a great value all around.
