Distribute the Game: Give each player a word scramble and a pen.
Set A Time Limit: Decide on a time limit for the game, if desired. This can anywhere from 5 minutes to 20 minutes, depending on the age group of the party. I have found 5-7 is an optimal time frame for kids ages 10+ that have Harry Potter knowledge.
