Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone Drinking Game Rules

About the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone Drinking Game

Play the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone drinking game with real-time activity triggers synced to the movie. The full pack includes 229 hand-crafted triggers spread across Casual, Normal, and Hardcore difficulty levels — so you pick the pace before you press play. Every trigger is tied to a specific scene, line, or beat in the film, and MovieknurD fires them in real time so nobody has to track rules or count seconds.

Harry Potter has lived under the stairs at his aunt and uncle's house his whole life. But on his 11th birthday, he learns he's a powerful wizard—with a place waiting for him at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As he learns to harness his newfound powers with the help of the school's kindly headmaster, Harry uncovers the truth about his parents' deaths—and about the villain who's to blame.

The game runs the full length of the movie — about 2h 32m. Open it on your phone, tablet, or laptop, choose a difficulty, and press start when the film begins. Cinema Mode also works for theater showings, vibrating quietly when a trigger fires so you can play in public without disrupting the room.
