Τα πιόνια απο το μαγικό σκάκι του Harry Potter. Βρίσκονται ακριβώς εξω απο την κεντρική είσοδο των studios οπότε είναι αδύνατο να τα χάσεις. Αξίζει μια στάση για φωτογραφίες.
If you like Harry Potter then you definitely want to visit this place. I just wish it was not so expensive
Répliques des pions du fameux échiquier dans le film Harry Potter.
De quoi nous donner un avant goût de ce qui nous attends à l’intérieur !
Échec et mat !

Bellissime si possono vedere le statue degli scacchi magici alte almeno 5 metri già prima di entrare ai warner bros studios, non si può non fare una foto anche con queste, sono davvero imponenti e bellissime ti fanno capire fin da subito che sei in un posto speciale
Avant même d'entrer dans les Studios, on peut apercevoir ces statues impressionnantes des pièces du jeu d'échec du tout premier film. On a tous en tête cette séquence pleine de suspens. On est donc accueilli dès le départ par un sentiment qui ne nous quittera pas tout au long de la visite : un sentiment d'admiration pour tout le travail effectué pour rendre la magie des films vivante.
Wizard's Chess is played with pieces and a board identical to Chess. The rules are also unchanged. The pieces are magically animated, and they violently attack each other when performing a capture, by knocking the captured piece out and dragging it off the board.The players order the pieces to move using algebraic chess notation.
Ron has a wizard's chess set left to him by his grandfather, and Harry first plays with pieces borrowed from Seamus Finnigan, which kept shouting him advice because they did not trust him.Harry later gets a set of his own during his first Christmas at Hogwarts.
During the 16th chapter of Philosopher's Stone, Harry, Ron and Hermione become human chess pieces in a life-sized game of Wizard's Chess, which Harry wins thanks to Ron's advice and sacrifice as a piece. In the films, the chess pieces are depicted using replicas of Lewis Chessmen.
