NC Harry Potter chess set. Anyone own one?

[TFrosst]

Wondering if anyone here owns the Noble collection Harry Potter Final challenge chess set? How's the quality on the set? Does anyone have any pics to share? The ones on the noble site are never accurate or good quality.

I hate to hijack, for this is only very slightly related, but does anyone know if there's ever been a reproduction of Ron's wizard's chess set? The red-and-white one he and Harry use earlier in the movie?

Yes, that was the Isle of Lewis set. It is known as one of the oldest known chest sets and resides partially in two different museums in Europe. You can get an excellent reproduction at one of the best prices here:

Great chest store to work with.

On that note, you can find sets on ebay in the ivory and red color scheme from the movie. Not authentic to the original, but a prop replica. They go for about $100 a set without a board.
