There are over 70 levels in the game, and once finished you can go back and revisit any of them, and also tweak challenges to make them more difficult, or to alter their purpose to share with others in Kano World. There are plenty of levels in Hogsmeade, with some of the most colorful challenges happening in Honeydukes, as you can imagine (rivalled only by Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes!):Ī map of Hogwarts also shows various levels in the castle, usually teaching wand motions – there are a couple of challenges themed after Charms and Potions classes, for example: You start off with a simple challenge at The Leaky Cauldron, and although not ALL the shops in Diagon Alley are used as challenge locations, the map still contains a high level of detail – I do wish Ollivander’s had been chosen as a level, though!

Watch Leaky’s unboxing of the kit below and check out our early preview to see these in full and check out the wand-making guide:Ĭhallenges in the game are organised on a map of the wizarding world, which includes Hogwarts (and the surrounding area, including the Forbidden Forest and Hogsmeade) and Diagon Alley. The kit (which is now available on the official Kano website for £99.99 / $99.99) arrives in an elegant box, not far off of an Ollivander’s wand box! Putting together your wand is easy with the LEGO-style guide, and batteries are included – bonus! The kit also comes with some stickers (including a cauldron!), and a quick guide to wand motions in the game. I was super impressed with the kit overall, with highlights being the art style throughout the game, the number of spells available to use, and the manner in which the kit builds up knowledge of coding naturally, making it feel as though you’re playing a game, but also offering ways to explore your creativity and skill further in the ‘Kano Play’ free-play environment and share your creations in the collaborative ‘Kano World’ network.

The Harry Potter Kano Coding Kit released this month, and Leaky were lucky enough to review the kit in its entirety, which contains a first-of-its-kind motion sensor wand, helping you learn how to code whilst completing Potter-themed challenges!
