Harry Potter word search puzzles

Hogwarts, quidditch, patronuses and every house from Gryffindor to Slytherin: these word searches hide the wizarding world in letter grids. The vocabulary is half the pleasure — QUIDDITCH and HUFFLEPUFF were practically designed for letter hunts.

Print a batch with solutions for the common room, or play online. Level 1 keeps the magic straightforward; level 3 hides words backwards, as any decent invisibility cloak would.
