While the scene was fully shot, it was heavily trimmed to reduce the movie's running time in particular, the endgame position composed by Silman would have had Harry delivering checkmate by capturing the white queen, which was removed from the final cut. The chess game seen in the movie was scripted by chess International Master Jeremy Silman (uncredited).Ronald Weasley actor Rupert Grint states 'I've actually still got a broken piece of the horse!' The explosive effects were created using compressed air. The filmmakers used radio and digital effects to create the movement of the giant chess pieces.Just before Ron is defeated by the white queen, a white knight can be seen in the background, although both white knights were destroyed during the game (it is possible a white pawn was promoted to a knight).This is a mistake as Hermione played as the other black rook (it is possible that a black pawn was promoted to a rook). Somehow there were two black rooks, which were both destroyed by the white queen.Since Harry had taken on the role of the second black bishop, this is a mistake as there are only two black bishops in a chess game (although it is possible a black pawn was promoted to a bishop). When the white queen destroys the black rook, a black bishop can be seen in the background.When the black queen is captured, the black king and bishop can be seen to her right and left respectively, which is the opposite of the real-life game. The captured pieces were, in order: black pawn, white bishop, black queen, white knight, black pawn, black bishop, white knight, black rook, black knight, white king.The pieces did not clear the way after the trio won the game.When Harry checkmates the king, it drops its sword rather than its crown.The chess pieces did not show much sentience.Harry moving across the board was not shown.Ron did not take on any of the white pieces.The black rook and bishop that Harry and Hermione took the place of do not appear.Ron is actually riding the black knight instead of just taking its place on the board.The pieces that are destroyed are not clearly seen being dragged off the board.The white pieces' faces are mostly covered in armour rather than being faceless.Ron understood what they are trying to tell them. They tried to reach the door on the other side without playing, but the white pawns will not allow them to do so.In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone:.The white knight on h4 was removed from the position seen in the film. The endgame position composed for the film adaptation by Jeremy Silman. Quirinus Quirrell - unknown, possibly did not even playĬhessboard Chamber as seen in Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells.Īfter the Philosopher's Stone was destroyed, the undamaged pieces of the chessboard were stored in the Room of Hidden Things. Percy Weasley proudly boasted about his brother's accomplishment. Albus Dumbledore probably could have just easily reversed the charm McGonagall had bewitched the chess pieces with, though, rendering them back to their original size and he most likely did so, considering how he was able to pass through quickly to reach and save Harry from Quirrell.Īt the end of year feast, Dumbledore awarded Ron fifty house points for 'the best played game of chess that Hogwarts has seen these many years'. It was unknown how Quirinus Quirrell/ Voldemort managed to bypass the chessboard. In the end, Ron sacrificed himself to the white queen to allow Harry to checkmate the opposing king. The trio then proceeded to play an impressive game, though it was particularly brutal even by the normal standards of Wizard's Chess by far the most lethal player was the white queen, which personally took out at least three of the black pieces and nearly won the game in white's favour. Ron sacrifices himself in order to win the match Ron took command of the black side, with himself, Harry, and Hermione replacing missing pieces, in order to defeat the white side and be allowed to pass. After making their way past the Stone's first three defences, they encountered this obstacle in the fourth chamber. On 4 June 1992, Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger were attempting to prevent the theft of the Philosopher's Stone by a servant of Lord Voldemort that, at the time, they believed was Severus Snape. The white pawns block the trio's path with their swords
