The Wizarding War
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry stands as the last bastion of light against Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. The 64 squares form a landscape of enchanted castles, forbidden forests, dark manors, and cursed battlegrounds. Wands clash, creatures stir, and the fate of the wizarding world hangs on every spell cast.
