Tired of the Usual Beer Pong? Try This 'Harry Potter' Inspired Quidditch Pong

Surely, had Albus Dumbledore been alive today, the great headmaster would not have approved of this new take on Quidditch gameplay—and, never mind what the reaction of the despotic Dolores Umbridge would have been.

But, since we are all muggles living in the non-magical world and there is no risk of getting ourselves locked up in Azkaban, then there is no harm trying this new and improved way, at least for the Potterheads, to have some fun with friends on a great Friday evening.

The Unofficial Quidditch Pong was introduced by its creators out of their love for both Quidditch and Beer Pong. It's basically beer pong, but with some twist taken from Harry Potter's favorite sport.

There is the usual set of cups from either side of each team's table. This time around, Quidditch rings are placed on the middle of the table. Some of the equipment you'll need for the modified beer pong include three Quidditch rings, three ping pong balls, two bats, 20 Cups, one Snitch and one Snitch cup.

This Snitch cup is just as crucial a part of the Quidditch Pong as it is in the Wizarding World game. "During your turn, Your team's Seeker may shoot for the Snitch Cup instead of the regular cups. If your Seeker shoots for the Snitch Cup, your team forfeits all three regular shots for one shot at the Snitch Cup," according to the game creators. "In all cases, if you make the Snitch Cup, you win the game. The Snitch Cup also trumps Resurrection Stone."

At the start of the game, players would have to choose for their team that are named after the four houses in Hogwarts. These teams provide the players different spells that they may cast at any point during the game, Distractify reported.

The rules presented by the creators are not hard-and-fast game rules. They said that the rules are merely recommendation and players are allowed to devise their own one or modify them. In case of disputes, however, they advise to have the owner of the Unofficial Quidditch Pong Set or the homeowner a final say on things.

"If the final say is disliked by the players, accuse the owner of being a Death Eater and do whatever you want. You're an adult," they quipped.

unfortunately, the Unofficial Quidditch Pong set offered at $37.99, which includes three Quidditch hoops, two beater bats and a golden Snitch ball, was sold out at the moment. But, interested parties can sign up for their mailing list to be notified of its availability, Mashable noted.
