Place the king and queen next to each other in the middle of the first row on each side. The rule is that the queen always starts on her own color. This means that the light queen will line up on the light tile and the dark queen will line up on the dark tile. The king for each color will be placed in the remaining open spot directly next to the queen. In the Harry Potter chess set, the queen is the piece with her arms crossed in front of her chest. The king piece holds his right hand in a fist and covers that fist with his left hand. There will one king and one queen of both colors.
