Harry Potter/Drinking Game

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Drinking game for Harry Potter:

  • Take a drink every time the phrase 'Harry, Ron and Hermione' is used.
  • Take a drink every time Harry CAPSLOCKs.
    • Take two if it's during or near a conversation in which Dumbledore praises his power of love.
  • Take a shot for every time a Meaningful Name crops up (Sirius and Lupin, for instance).
  • Take a shot for every time a MacGuffin is mentioned in passing. This includes people such as Sirius.
  • Take a shot every time 'green' is mentioned. Two shots if it's 'emerald' or 'bright'. Take three if it's to do with Harry's eyes.
  • Take a shot for every time 'sock' or 'socks' turn up. Take two if it's related to Dobby.
  • Take a sip every time Harry's scar is mentioned. Take another if it's hurting. Finish your drink if Harry's history is summed up within the next three sentences.
    • Are you trying to kill us all?
  • Take a drink every time Harry is compared to his parents. Take two sips if Harry says something about hearing that all the time.
  • Every time Snape's appearance is referenced in a negative way. Double it if the words "sallow", "slimy" and/or "greasy" are used. Triple if he's compared to a bat.
    • Heck, every time that any unsympathetic character's appearance is referenced negatively (Dudley being 'fat and piggy', Pansy Parkinson being 'ugly and pug like', Petunia being 'long-necked and horsey' . . . Am I noticing an unfortunate trend here?)

For the 'Harry Potter' films

  • Take a drink every time the name of a spell is said
  • Take a drink if someone uses a spell in combat that does something other than knock the enemy back in a blast of light
  • Take a drink every time Harry's scar is mentioned. Take another if it's hurting. Take three if Harry's connection to Voldemort is mentioned
  • Take a drink every time Harry is compared to his parents. Take two sips if Harry says something about hearing that all the time.
  • Down your drink when Voldemort does an awkward hug
  • Take a sip every time you notice Emma Watson moves her eyebrows a lot every time she speaks
  • Take a drink every time someone uses Polyjuice potion, and another when they change back this could be a nasty one with Barty Crouch jr.
  • Take a drink everytime someone scores in a Quidditch match
  • Take a drink whenever there's a reference to Ron being poor or Hermione being clever
  • Take a drink whenever "Voldemort", "Horcrux" or "Deathly Hallows" are said
  • Take a drink whenever house points are awarded
    • Take two when someone takes points away from a house.
  • Take a drink whenever Draco sneers
    • We'd all be down and out in a minute.
  • Take a drink whenever magical creatures appear on screen (for example dementors, hippogriffs, doxies, Nagini)
    • Our livers give up before the 4th movie, if marathoning.

For the simplest film drinking game

  • Drink whenever magic is used or appears- a spell, brooms flying, portraits moving, a ghost appears on screen, whatever
  • Drink whenever the words "magic", "wizard" or "witch" are said
      • Congratulations, you now know what alcohol poisoning feels like!
