Great review! I came across this version of clue recently while putting together a collation of current Harry Potter board games.

I was genuinely surprised how innovative it is. Most of the time I just expect reskins from branded games like this.

My wife got this for Christmas, and we just played a 5-player game that we enjoyed. No one lost all their House Points, though I was down to 20; we actually were debating a house rule that you discard the Help Card that you use to protect yourself from a Dark Card.

I am wondering if the 6-player option would still be viable; while the rules have you randomly pick one of the six possible player pieces to be the “missing student”, I’d imagine you could just as easily say that it was Padma or Cedric, or any of the other students at Hogwarts, and thus have all 6 pieces available for players.

If your worried about leaving people out of the game due to the loss of house points perhaps a house rule is in order? You could offer another penalty for loss of points or even modify how they work. I’ve never played the game myself so I don’t know if it would break the game, but you could even drop them entirely. Though that’s probably not the best option.
