Sort Your Party Guests Into A Harry Potter House To Divide Up The Trivia Teams

We always recommend that you group guests into teams for trivia, and the world of Harry Potter plays right into this idea. Put your guests into one of the four main houses, or better yet, have them put on the Sorting Hat before you tell them whether they are in Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff or Slytherin. Your guests will have fun getting to know one another and working with others they may not have otherwise talked to, and it’s easier to keep track of a couple teams instead of a lot of individual responses. Make it easier on yourself and liven up the party by sorting your guests into Harry Potter houses before the quiz begins!

For The Ultimate Trivia Event, Ask The Trivia Players To Come Dressed In Their Best Harry Potter-Inspired Outfits

To take your party to the next level, invite players to come dressed as their favorite Harry Potter character. The night will be a lot more fun if Hagrid, Harry and Hermione are trying to beat Draco, Professor Snape and Ron in a battle of wits! If you really want to encourage participation, give out prizes for the best or most creative costume. Let them know that the winner will receive a six-pack of Butterbeer or some Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans for their efforts. Even a small prize can go a long way in helping guests get into the spirit of the competition.

Make Your Harry Potter-Themed Zoom Party Even More Magical By Having A Live Host From Bar None Games Host The Event

And finally, if you really want to ensure that your party goes off without a hitch, and if you want to partake in all the fun yourself, consider having a live host from Bar None Games run the event! We offer a 60-minute trivia event that features a music round, a picture round and a bar-styled trivia round, all inspired by Harry Potter. Let us take over the role of Headmaster while you join the rest of the students in class to see who rises above the rest!

Again, we can make this work no matter where your group is located.  Don’t assume that you can’t throw an awesome Harry Potter party simply because you can’t get everyone in the same physical location. We’ve run countless Zoom trivia games, and we’d love to run a Harry Potter-themed contest for you.
