9 Best Printable Harry Potter Bridal Shower Games (Guide)

Recently, for the first time, someone asked me about printable Harry Potter bridal shower games, since she knows I’m a HUGE fan (understatement of the year). Honestly, they’re a bit tricky to find, since all things Potter are trademarked.

To comply with copyright laws, many Etsy sellers get really creative. Some use general Wizarding World themes, others use the famous font, and so on. Here are my picks that come closest to being actual Harry Potter printable games. They’re sure to make any bridal shower magical!

1.Wizard Bridal Shower Games Bundle by OHappyPrintables

If you want the most bang for your buck, go with a bundle. This one focuses on a wizarding theme and uses the traditional Harry Potter font against the parchment-colored paper. It includes all of the most popular printables, like Bingo, Emoji Pictionary, What’s In Your Phone, and more.

After purchasing, you’ll receive a digital download. Then you can print out as many copies as you need. For added authenticity, print them out on real parchment paper!

2.JenniferKateCo Printable Wizard Bundle

This one comes as close to an actual Harry Potter printable as possible, complete with a beautifully drawn replica of the Sorting Hat. You’ll get four games, a card to let guests know where to leave gifts (that’s where the Sorting Hat cleverly comes into play), a cute decoration, and instructions for how to play a ring hunting game.

Again, you’ll need to print everything out yourself. If you’re worried that you’ll waste a ton of ink or parchment paper trying to get it right, consider taking them to an actual printer.

3.Printable HP Wizard Party Games & Quizzes

While not specifically for a bridal shower, these games are still super fun for grown-up parties. The Sorting Quiz is a great ice-breaker to play with guests, and the Scattegories-style game is perfect for before cake. There are two other games that would make cute additions to the favor bag or activities for guests to do on their own during a lull in the fun.

I strongly recommend taking them to a printer. The “Test Your Knowledge” game is pretty ink-heavy, so you’ll actually save money by printing them at Staples or something.

4.30 Wizard Bridal Shower and Bachelorette Games Bundle

Going for a whole Harry Potter theme for both the shower and the bachelorette party? You can’t go wrong with this bundle, then! It comes with an incredible 30 games, including a few naughtier printables for bachelorette night.

The Harry Potter theme comes from the colors rather than the games themselves. Aside from a “Find the Golden Snitch” game, for the most part, this bundle contains all of the classics.

5.Editable Wizard Bridal Shower Games

This bundle is the only one that you can actually edit. After purchasing, you’ll get a link to it on Corjl.com, where you can make changes before printing it out. Like the others, the Harry Potter theme comes more from the font and artwork than from the games themselves. It’s great for mixed groups where not everyone really likes magical themes.

While there are other printable Harry Potter bridal shower games on Etsy, these are really the best overall in my opinion. However, printables aren’t the only way to incorporate your love of all things Wizarding World into your shower.

More Harry Potter Games to Play at Your Shower

If you want to play actual (rather than inspired by) Potter-themed games at your shower, I’ve got a few ideas in mind for you!

6. Harry Potter Charades

Give everyone’s favorite party game a magical spin and make all of the clues come from the Potterverse! It’s pretty easy to come up with your own ideas, but if you need a little help I love this free printable fromPlay Party Plan.It’s designed for kids’ parties but there’s absolutely no reason why you can’t use it for your bridal shower.

A game of Harry Potter charades is so easy to set up, it feels like actual magic. All you need to start are the relevant charade words, a timer (or hourglass, to make things more immersive), a pair of scissors to cut the words, some cool prizes, and some goodie bags. Once you have these in order, you have to print out your charade words, cut them out, then put them in the goodie bag. From here, you can play the game in any number of ways, whether in traditional or reverse form. In the latter type, one person does the guessing, while everyone else gets to do the acting.

7. Predict the Couple’s Future

How about some divination time to spice up your bridal shower? This is a fun little idea that requires nothing more than some pen and paper (although you can get creative and use tea leaves, a crystal ball, or other clever divination props).

Once you have everything ready, ask every guest to come up with a prediction for the couple’s future and write it down.

Then, seal them up in an envelope or paste them into a cute book, or, if you like, you can find a crystal ball that can be opened and store them inside. Then, tell the bride to open them on her first, fifth, or even 50th anniversary.Of course, using the gift of the sight consumes lots of magic; however, I have heard that a few rewards can replenish all that magic. So, why not spice things up further by proposing rewards for any whose predictions come true?

Please, though, don’t take a page from Trewlaney’s book and give “dire” warnings or depressing predictions. Keep it fun and be kind. FYI, also makes a great idea for a guest book, too.

8. Guess My Patronus

You know that “Who Am I” game where you write names on slips of paper and stick them to your guests’ backs as they arrive? Well, this one follows the same concept. Except, instead of names, you’ll print out (or draw, depending on your skill) different animals to represent Patronuses (or is that Patroni?)

Guests have to try to figure out their Patronuses by asking yes or no questions, such that each successive answer brings them just a bit closer to figuring out what animal will be shielding them when the dementors come a-knocking (or a-gliding.)

You can even go the extra mile and make this even more Harry Potter-themed and immersive by sticking with animals that represent characters from the franchise. It’ll be even more fun if you can assign patronuses to each of your friends based on their personality (say, a stag for that friend who’s brave and a wolf for that friend who’s wild). In any case, if you don’t recall who has what patronus from Harry Potter, let me help you there.

• Harry: Stag
• Hermione: Otter
• Ron: Jack Russell Terrier
• Ginny: Horse
• Arthur Weasley: Weasle
• Snape: Doe
• Dumbledore: Phoenix
• Lupin: Wolf (also Tonks’)
• McGonagall: Cat
• Luna: Hare
• Kingsley Shacklebolt: Lynx
• Aberfoth Dumbledore: Goat
• Cho Chang: Swan

9. Harry Potter Trivia

Last but not least, like charades, you can never go wrong with a good old-fashioned trivia game. Here’s the chance to see which ones among you are the real fans. Personally, I would recommend using the books (evil laugh), as they are more nuanced than the films and contain more juicy lore and details for the absolutely consumed fan to sink their teeth into.

Compared to charades, however, Trivia is a lot easier to put together. All you need to do that are some note cards and questions with their answers. If you need help pulling it off, grab a book from Amazon, like this one (it’s free on Kindle Unlimited). Also, I’d make a few further suggestions. First, spells and potions. A few questions on spells and wandwork, coupled with OWLS standard gradings for answering attempts are sure to make your trivia session much more fun and immersive. Finally, don’t forget about the rewards. The players may receive points for great answers, and prizes may be awarded at the end to the player with the most points.

10. Herbology

With a little instruction from our very own Pormona Sprout, there’s much fun to be had in a few Herbology games. There are several you can try, but my personal favorite is the potting mandrakes. Oh, don’t worry. You don’t have to worry about those deafening shrieks from one of these. The setup is crafty so there’s a bit of work to do, but herbology has always been a hands-on course, has it not?

To set up the game, you need some clay sculpting tools, scissors, construction paper, and molding magic clay. And once you have everything set, you can have fun shoving those mandrakes in their pots.

Closing Thoughts

Coming up with Harry Potter bridal shower games isn’t as hard as you’d think if you’re willing to step outside the Sorting Hat a bit and get creative—just like a true Ravenclaw. Aside from these ones we’ve looked at, there are so many other ways.

Throw in a wizard-themed photo booth, a Golden Snitch cake topper, and maybe some Chocolate Frogs, and you’ve got yourself the perfect Harry Potter-themed bridal shower!I hope these gave you some great ideas to start with! If you have to pick just one to buy, go with the first bundle. It’s #1 on the list for a reason. But if I were to suggest something from the more customizable options, I’d recommend the trivia. Again, you can never go wrong with trivia.
