Where is this six-sided die from

Gaming with my daughter's boyfriend, I noticed this die. I asked him about it, but his tl;dr was it was a found die, and he has no idea what it's for or from. Any ideas?



D6 Faces 3, 4, 6D6 Faces 7, 10, 11



I do note that 3 & 4 are the average of a d6, 6 & 7 are the average of a d12, and 10 & 11 are the average of a d20. But other than that I've got nothing. Google has failed me... or I have failed Google.



Who knows where this die is from?

    3 & 4 are the middle two values of a d6, the average value of the die roll is 3.5. It doesn't make sense to present two values as the average.

It seems to be from the board game 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone', according to
this post on reddit:




I own the US/English version of the game. The dice numbers are 4, 6, 11, 7, 3, 10.




...in particular, this picture:
