The Story

UNO Harry Potter is one of the franchise's most frequently reissued licensed decks, with editions dating back to 2000 and re-released roughly every few years (2002, 2003, 2005, 2010, 2018, 2021) to coincide with new films or anniversaries. The 2018 collectible-tin edition, timed near Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, is among the most widely available.

Rule Twists vs. Classic UNO

Everything below is an official printed rule unless flagged otherwise.

Standard UNO rules

Plays exactly like classic UNO — match by color, number, or symbol, with the same Skip, Reverse, Draw Two, Wild, and Wild Draw Four cards. Only the card artwork changes to the licensed theme.

Widely used — not an official rule

Some themed decks add a unique Wild card

Community

Many licensed UNO editions swap one of the four Wild cards for a theme-specific action card (e.g. a franchise-specific mini-game or bonus effect) instead of using pure reskins. The exact rule text varies by print run and box, and hasn't been independently verified for this specific edition, so it isn't listed here — check your box's insert for any card marked differently from the standard five.
