Harry Potter is hands down one of my favorite book series outside of The Dark Tower and Sweet Valley High (what can I say, I'm a whore for craptastic High School tales) and when it comes to putting a bit more Potter in my life I am happy to put myself ovaries deep into it.
And this fantastic How-to by Instructables user carrielynneh featuring chess pieces, game board and, for those of you with a bit of sewing skill, a quilted carrying bag, is not only pretty easy to make, it's damn well too awesome to pass up (hell, you could even make it a group project with fellow Potter fans, parceling out pieces of the chess set to whoever has more talent).
For detailed instructions click HERE and then have some fun.
But be warned, you'll probably be getting requests for these chess sets from friends and family.
