End outside first, then resolve conditional extra movement

Starting situation

Hypothetical use of the rulebook’s own effect-type example, with no invented card name: a House player’s unstunned pawn can legally finish the played card’s normal move outside Hogwarts Castle. Assume the effect permits two extra spaces if a move ends outside, as described on printed page 16. There are legal spaces for the additional movement, and no other effect changes the condition.

Resolve it step by step

1. 1

   Read the printed condition. The additional movement is not available just because the effect is printed on the card.

2. 2

   Choose movement first and finish the normal move legally outside the castle. Do not spend the conditional extra movement to create its own trigger.

3. 3

   Check the resulting position. In this scenario the outside-ending condition is now met; if the move had ended inside, this effect would not be available from that condition.

4. 4

   Choose to use the available optional effect and resolve the permitted extra movement, respecting legal routes and the actual card’s limits.

5. 5

   Resolve applicable landing effects and remaining actions, then discard the played card at turn end. Do not treat the conditional extra movement as an automatic bonus on every later move.

Common mistakes

• Do not reverse the trigger and reward: the extra movement cannot be used first to reach the outside space in this example.
• Optional does not remove the condition; exact card wording still governs how extra movement works.
• The example identifies no named card and assumes legal routes rather than claiming a tested map route.
