Harry Potter Party Games

By Gail Leino

You’ll be happy to have these Harry Potter Party Games on hand the next time you’re holding a Harry potter book release party for the kids.

The first game I suggest is called ‘Play Time’. Before the party collect bundles of three odd items and put them in pillow sacks or bags. Then when you start the game have the kids get into groups and have each group take a bag. Each group must use all of the items they find in an undiscovered scene from one of the Harry Potter books.

Be sure to give all of the groups plenty of time to put together their scene. You may even want to let them have a practice run before they put on their mini plays. To make this kind of competitive, each group must use clues in the scene to indicate which of the Harry Potter books the scene is from and you can have the rest of the guests try to guess which of the books this undiscovered scene comes from.

The next game is called ‘Wizards’. It’s a fun version of tag for magic fans and Harry Potter fans, of course. Have all the players stand in a circle with their eyes closed. Then walk around the circle and place your hand on the backs of those who will become wizards. Try to average about one wizard for every five players. Then have everyone open their eyes and start running.

None of the players will know who each of the wizards are at the start of the game and the wizards won’t know their fellows at first either. Each wizard runs around pressing their hands against the backs of runners to freeze them. Fellow wizards won’t be frozen if they are tagged. Other players can unfreeze the frozen players with a warm hug. The point is to try and get all the players frozen. If the wizard manage to succeed in getting everyone frozen you should give them a Harry Potter party themed prize like chocolate wands, which are really chocolate covered pretzels.
