Harry Potter: House Cup Competition is a competitive worker-placement game in which each player leads Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin through a school year at Hogwarts. Students claim locations to gain knowledge, magic, lessons, and challenge cards. Improving character skills opens more demanding opportunities, while completed lessons and challenges pour colored gems into the shared House Cup display. After the final round, the house with the most points becomes champion.
