Although he's a fan of Lego's entire game lineup this year, Silver's favorite is Lego's "Harry Potter Hogwarts" board game.
"The really great thing about it is that you first have to build the magical castle before you can play it," he said.
The object of the game is to travel around Hogwarts castle and collect all of your "homework" - spell, potions, etc. But just like in the real Hogwarts, surprises await. The first player to successfully navigate the magical castle to collect all of their homework and get back to the common area is the winner.
The Hogwarts game comes with nine LEGO minifigures, five special microfigures (including Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Draco Malfoy and Albus Dumbledore), four Hogwarts student microfigures and 332 LEGO pieces.
