It’s a shame that we didn’t hear much about other notable witches like Bagshot. When designing the game, I chose the witches or wizards on a meritocratic basis. Only the most celebrated historian of the 20th century? Writing this, it’s occured to me that not many witches made the list.That being said, if they were, you could imagine a scenario where they’re chosen because they could be an inspirational role model for future generations of Aurors In the wizarding world, it’s unlikely that contemporary figures like Moody would appear on a Galleon, Sickle or Knut (just my hunch). He reminds me of Winston Churchill a bit, so perhaps that had a part in Moody getting this position. I think Flamel was worthy of the G50 slot because of his significant contributions to the study of alchemy (how many other people made a philosopher’s stone (that we know about)?) Flamel: I did consider going down the route of choosing the established witches and wizards from the Chocolate frog cards, but I felt that we didn’t hear much about those witches or wizards except from the occasional reference to Merlin’s beard or the order of class.Dumbledore: I don’t know whether Dumbledore or Merlin should take the top spot, so I took the objective viewpoint.I know Dumbledore is popular, but Merlin’s accomplished, too The equivalent of a British Knighthood in the British wizarding world was the Order of Merlin 1st class. Merlin: one of the greatest wizards of all time.The reason behind choosing each wizard or witch: It was tough deciding who to choose to feature on each note. I didn’t use coins for the money, but that’s definitely something that I might consider in the future if I’m able to purchase some or make my own. I used Photoshop for all of the graphic design work. Resized the board to fit my own dimensions.Some of the colours of the properties (wanted it to be in line with Simpsons Monopoly, which, prior to making this monopoly game, was our family’s go-to Monopoly game).Changed the number of Galleons you receive when passing Go to G200 (where G represents Galleons).All of the properties on the board now use the British wizarding currency (Galleons).Changed the ‘Go to Azkaban’ position to use a better dementor picture, which I designed myself.Changed all of the properties on the board to my own ones, which includes designing the images for every property.The ‘extensive modifications’ are as follows: The monopoly box design was slightly modified from someone else’s design, and I took someone else’s board and made extensive modifications to it. I designed the cards and money from scratch. I thought I’d document what I did both to help anyone else who is thinking of making their own Harry Potter Monopoly and also for nostalgic reasons (it was fun to make and it’s still fun to think about).
