HP7 Drinking Game

[relocated from Facebook, and back-dated. composed prior to the release of the seventh book]

Weinbloom & Wolahan bring you:

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS
The Drinking Game

We recommend using M&Ms in lieu of actual alcohol for this game, unless you are particularly talented at reading while smashed.

Enjoy!


Take a drink every time:

Hermione encourages reference to “Hogwarts, A History”

Three drinks if someone other than Hermione mentions “Hogwarts, A History”

Five drinks if we finally get a decent “your mom” joke in response

Drink if Ron and Hermione start bickering

2 if Ron and Hermione start snogging

Trelawney predicts someone’s imminent death

Rowling foreshadows someone’s imminent death

2 when someone actually dies who wasn’t foreshadowed at all

Finish if Harry ends up being the only one who thinks Snape is good

If Snape really truly is evil, send JKR a Howler

Any time someone we've heard of dies

Harry remembers that everyone he loves is dead

Ron gets in the way
