If any other player wins the All Play to Win challenge, they have the option of forcing
an opponent to draw a House Points Card or of moving their own game piece
forward three spaces (unless they are already on a Final Cut ring). After following
the instructions on the House Points Card, the next player in sequence (the one
following the roller) gets their turn.
Game Tip: House Points Cards cannot be played against players on a Final Cut ring.
2. Final Cut
For any player that has landed on a Final Cut ring, the DVD Master chooses Final
Cut from the Game Menu and follows the on-screen instructions. In Final Cut the
player must correctly answer up to three questions to win the game. The number
of questions that must be answered in a turn corresponds to the ring number upon
which the player’s mover stands. If the player misses a question, they move in one
ring and must await their next turn. Again, the on-screen instructions will walk you
through Final Cut, so don’t worry!
A player must successfully complete a challenge to win the game. A player who loses
a challenge while on the Final Cut ring marked 1 does not advance inward. They
stay on 1 and must await their next turn.
OPTIONS
For Longer Games – To make the game more competitive (and longer), only roll
the Numbered Die and advance your mover after getting a question right (rather
than moving at the start of each turn).

GETTING STARTED
You have two options for learning to play Scene It? Harry Potter:
1. Watch the on-screen demonstration by choosing How to Play from the
Scene It? Harry Potter DVD Main Menu.
2. Read the instructions below. Begin with SET UP for a complete description
of the game, or skip to PLAY THE GAME for the essentials.
SET UP
1. Position the Flextime Game Board so that all players can see the TV or
monitor connected to your DVD player. The board can be fully extended for
longer games or folded into a circle for shorter play.
2. Choose a mover for each player and place it on the start space.
3. Place the round House Points Cards on the board, crest-side up. Place the
box of Question Cards and the two dice beside the board, and then distribute
a Category Reference Card to each player.
K5807-0920
4. Insert the Scene It? Harry Potter DVD into your DVD player. The DVD will
show a quick intro and then display the Main Menu.
5. Select one person, referred to as the DVD Master, to
operate the remote control.
Use the ARROWS on your remote to navigate
between Scene It? Harry Potter menu items. Use
the ENTER or PLAY button to activate a menu
selection. When viewing a movie clip, use the SKIP,
NEXT or FAST FORWARD buttons to quickly advance to
the question.
6. Select Timer Settings from the Main Menu. You can
use the on-screen Timer when answering Question Cards.
The Timer is pre-set at 30 seconds, but may be set at 10
or 20 seconds to make the game more challenging.
Select the time limit you want; this will remain the default
unless you choose to reset the Timer during the game by
accessing the Main Menu once again.
Technical Tip: Your DVD is automatically set up to deliver
questions at random. However, because it is random, you may
eventually get repeats. Choose Pre-set Gameplay on the Main
Menu then select one of the pre-programmed sequences to
guarantee no repeats will occur.
NOTE: Some DVD players do not support the random shuffle
feature provided by Optreve® technology (a window will
appear to warn you of this). In that situation, you should also
choose Pre-set Gameplay.
7. Choose Play the Game from the Main Menu and the
Game Menu will appear after an introduction plays.
PLAY THE GAME
1. All players roll the Numbered Die, re-rolling any ties.
The highest roller goes first and play proceeds clockwise
around the table.
Main Menu
Game Menu
2. Each turn, a player rolls both dice and moves the number
of spaces shown on the Numbered Die.
Note: movers can share the same space on the board.
After moving, the player then attempts to successfully
complete whichever challenge was rolled on the
Category Die (see below for descriptions of challenges).
Game Tip: You always roll both dice and move your game piece
to start your turn. If you win the challenge, you roll both dice
again and take another turn!
3.
Category Reference Cards are provided for each player
to allow easy recognition of the
challenges.

CHALLENGES
Depending on the symbol rolled on the Category Die,
players will have to complete different DVD or
Question Card challenges:
DVD Challenges

Challenges
House Points
Cards and Player’s
Choice
DVD CHALLENGES
My Play Challenges
The DVD Master selects My Play from the DVD
Game Menu, and a My Play challenge will follow.
ONLY THE ROLLING PLAYER/TEAM MAY ATTEMPT TO
ANSWER THE ON-SCREEN CHALLENGE. If the roller answers
correctly, they get another turn and roll both dice again. If
they answer incorrectly, the turn ends and play proceeds
clockwise to the next player in sequence.
Game Tip: If you play Scene It? Harry Potter many times, you
may eventually start seeing the same clips over again. Don’t
worry! Each clip has multiple questions associated with it. So pay
attention; you never know what you will be asked!
All Play Challenge
The DVD Master selects All Play from the DVD
Game Menu. ALL PLAYERS SHOULD WATCH THE
CHALLENGE THAT FOLLOWS and attempt to be
the first to clearly shout out the correct answer.
If the rolling player is first to answer correctly, they roll both
dice and take another turn.
If a player other than the roller answers correctly, that
player chooses either to move their game piece forward
one space or to force another player to draw a House Points
Card and follow its instructions. After this is done, the next
player in sequence (the player clockwise from the roller)
gets their turn.
Note: Players are never skipped as the result of an All Play
challenge – play always proceeds sequentially around the
table, even when someone out of sequence correctly answers
the question.
If two players simultaneously answer correctly, select
Tie Breakers® from the Game Menu.
If no one answers correctly, play proceeds to the next player
in turn.
Game Tip: 1) Clips can be skipped through by using the SKIP
or FAST FORWARD buttons on the remote. 2) If you receive
an All Play that you have seen in a previous game just hit the
RETURN button on your remote and another All Play challenge
will appear.
QUESTION CARD CHALLENGES
When a player rolls a Question Card challenge, one of
the opposing players draws a card from the front of the
box. After the appropriate question has been read, the DVD
Master selects Start Timer and the player must give the
correct answer before the timer reaches zero. The card should
be replaced in the back of the box when finished.
HogwartsTM
Players must identify things to do with the magical
world associated with life at Hogwarts.
Wizarding World
Players must answer a question associated with the
world of magic outside of Hogwarts.
MugglesTM
Players must answer a question related to the nonmagical world.
Remember: The on-screen Timer can be adjusted by selecting
Timer Settings from the Main Menu, and then choosing the
countdown you want.
HOUSE POINTS CARDS AND PLAYER’S CHOICE
House Points Cards
Depending on the “house points” you get, these
cards can help you or an opponent move ahead or
knock either of you back. A player must read the House Points
Card aloud and follow the instructions on the card as soon as it
is drawn, then that player’s turn ends.
If the card specifies “hold this card and make another
player lose a turn when appropriate,” you may keep it until later.
These House Points Cards can be played when it is not
your turn, but must be presented to another player before that
player’s turn begins – not after that player has rolled the dice.
Player’s Choice
Rolling this allows players to choose a DVD
challenge (My Play), a Card challenge (any
category) or a House Points card.
FLOO POWDERTM SPACE
If a Player wins any challenge while on a Floo powder space,
on their next roll they move twice the number of spaces shown
on the Numbered Die. If a House Points Card forces them to lose
their turn after winning a challenge on this space, they
will still get to move double their first roll on their next turn.
WINNING THE GAME
When any player reaches the end of the game path, they
must stop on the space labeled Stop: All Play to Win,
no matter what they may have rolled. From this point,
they have two ways to win the game – the first is All Play
to Win; if that proves unsuccessful, the second option is
Final Cut.
1. All Play to Win
Whenever a player rests on the Stop: All Play to Win space,
they must complete an All Play to Win challenge.
The DVD Master chooses All Play to Win from the Game Menu
and ALL PLAYERS compete in this special All Play.
If the rolling player wins the challenge, that player advances
directly to the winner’s circle and instantly WINS THE GAME!
If the rolling player loses the challenge, they move to the outer
Final Cut ring (marked 3) and must await their next turn for another
chance to win – this time by undertaking a Final Cut challenge. But for
now, the dice pass to the next player in sequence.
