Harry Potter Monopoly


I was recently on Pinterest looking for something to make (like you do) and I came across an image of a Harry Potter Monopoly board that someone had made.

I was quite excited, as most obsessive Harry Potter fans know there isn't actually an official Harry Potter Monopoly board. I really wanted to make one. Naturally I immediately started looking for a short cut. I came across a blog that had a .pdf file with a ready made board. It even had a box! All I had to do was print it out.
(WARNING: This will use A LOT of ink!) So I just wanted to thank whoever made this as it saved me so much time and my whole family had loads of fun making it. If you want to make your own board go and check out the blog here for images and for there the .pdf click here.
As the blog also has a guide, it is quite self explanatory, I thought it would be a bit pointless to just repeat it.

P.S. just so you know the .pdf doesn't include money, houses, hotels or pieces so I just printed of some pictures from the internet of the characters.
I used the money that was from another monopoly set though you could just write it down.
For the houses I printed pictures of Hagrid's hut

and for the hotels I used 'The three broomsticks' logo.


Here are a few picture of what mine turned out like. (I know it isn't perfect):













Hope you have fun please leave a comment with a picture of what yours turns out like, or sent me a link to your blog. x
