The perfect Harry Potter drinking game would combine the lovable characters, impossible to remember spells, and bewildering magic of the series. And even though Harry Potter has changed many lives, I haven't been satisfied with any of the wizard and witch themed drinking games I have encountered, so I wanted to create my own, specialized by movie. Now that "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" has been released, the need for a way to celebrate Harry Potter is even more pressing. Presenting...The Ultimate Harry Potter Drinking Game. I seriously hope you get magically ridiculous!

- Professor Quirrell stutters
- Trevor the toad appears or is mentioned
- Harry, Ron, and Hermione suspect Snape of something
