Cards

With 3 types of cards ("student," "professor," and "headmaster"), everyone can have fun depending on their familiarity with the Wizarding World.

Setup

Distribute 30 cards between players. Each player secretly looks at their cards. If they don't like a card (too complex, unfamiliar…), they can exchange this card with a new one.

When everyone has read their cards, make a deck with everyone's cards. Shuffle them. Then choose which team will start.

How to Play

Round 1 – Describe

You have 30 seconds to say whatever you want to make your team guess the card. As soon as the card is guessed correctly, put the card face up on the table, and start describing the next card.

"It's Harry Potter's owl"

  • Dobby™?
  • Scabbers?
  • Hedwig™!

When all cards have been guessed, play continues to the second round.

Round 2 – One Word

Take the 30 cards from the last round and shuffle them. This time, you can only say a single word! Your teammates can only make one guess!!

"Owl!"

Round 3 – Charades

Take the 30 cards from the last round and shuffle them. From now on, you can only give clues through charades!

End of Game

The game is over!

The team who guessed the most cards during all three rounds wins the game.
