Calling all muggles, witches and wizards… or any fans of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Hollywood or Universal Orlando! We have the perfect craft and game to do at home in preparation for your trip, or just to experience a little magic at home.
Free Harry Potter Spells Game
We put together a tutorial on Proper Uses of Wands and Spells so you are all ready for your trip to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. You can also get creative and make up your own spells to add to the book of magic. We particularly enjoy the one that turns carrots into marshmallows! “Puffacarrotum!” Wouldn't that come in handy?!
To start, you’ll need a magic wand. There are so many creative options for wands. We made our own wands out of paper. If you want to make a paper wand, follow the simple instructions below. Or, you could collect sticks from your yard, decorate skewers, or even use a pencil!
Paper Wand Tutorial
You only need a few supplies to make a paper wand. We’ve linked them below:
Roll the paper into a cylinder. Start from the corner and keep it tight as you roll.
When you get about half-way through the sheet of paper, add a line of double sided tape along the length of the paper. Then roll over it and add another line of glue. Continue, taping and rolling until the paper is all rolled up. This will keep your wand tight in place.
You can decorate your wand however you want! Give your wands plenty of time to dry before you begin using them for casting spells.
The best thing about wands, is that they are all unique--just like the people who use them. Wands typically match the user's personality. So, if you are silly, make the wand silly. The wand chooses the wizard, after all.
We complied a list of some of our favorite spells from the Harry Potter books. You can download the printable here to use at home. Study it carefully so you pass your O.W.L.S. examination!
You can also come up with your own unique wizarding spells in a fun game! We had the best time making up our own magic words. Here is a worksheet printable to get your spell building started.
Print the worksheet. Cut out the rectangle word pieces. Keep them in categories.
There is space at the bottom of the worksheet for you to write in your own word parts.
Take turns combining the first, middle, and ending sounds. Put them together to make a spell. Then, you get to decide what magic that word will produce! Watch out! Things may get silly.
Fluff-popper-owie: Shoots cotton balls from the wand tip that pop when they hit the opponent.
Puff-carrot-um: Tuns a carrot into a marshmallow.
