The Harry Potter Movie Marathon Quest Booklet

What’s inside

Nine challenges, spread across the eight films. Do all of them or pick four.

• Wizard Market Treat Quest

  Twelve minutes, a snack budget, five treasures to find. Head-to-head before the first movie starts.

• Sorcerer’s Stone Bingo

  Three sheets of real moments from the film. Five in a row, then keep going for blackout.

• Chamber of Secrets Trivia Trial

  Ten questions, scored out of twenty. Two points exact, one point close.

• Sirius Black Wanted Poster

  Draw the fugitive, name the crime, set the reward. Everyone votes on the winner.

• Triwizard Strategy Challenge

  Plan your way through all three tasks before you watch how it actually goes.

• Invent-a-Spell Challenge

  Five problems, five spells. Name, magic words, wand motion, effect.

• Create-a-Potion Challenge

  Ingredients, brewing time, and one side effect you didn’t plan for.

• Horcrux Mad Lib

  The dark plot, filled in by whoever shouts a noun the fastest.

• Pensieve Photo Challenge

  Three favourite scenes, reenacted and photographed. The finale of the whole marathon.

Illustrated, printable, and built to be written on.

How families run it

1. 1

   Print what you need

   Fourteen pages, plain paper, black and white is fine. Or print only the pages for the movies you’re actually watching tonight.

2. 2

   One or two challenges a film

   Sorcerer’s Stone bingo runs during the movie. The making challenges — spells, potions, posters — go in the gaps between films while someone refills the popcorn.

3. 3

   Keep score to the end

   The checklist on the cover is the scoreboard. That’s the part that gets a nine-year-old to hour eleven.
