When I read Harry Potter aloud to my brother, one way to keep us in the story together was that every time we finished a chapter, we drew a picture of our favourite, or most memorable scene from the chapter. I specifically remember doing this in the second book, and we most likely did it in the first, but didn't continue after that.

I'm thinking that my sister and I (since my brother no longer likes read-alongs) may do something like that soon, because she is 10 now and has not yet read Harry Potter. She also, unlike my brother, enjoys reading aloud herself as well

My question is, did you ever play any kinds of odd games like this while reading the books?

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section. Feel free to move it, mods, as I was unsure of the proper place to post it.

Well, this is actually a good idea. I never really plaued any games because I read the first book when I was in kindergarten, the second in 1st, and so on until the fifth book, I read them so fast after they first came out that I didn't have time to play any games.

I did always find a way to add myself into the plot when I was younger. I'm not going to share these though because a load of them are kind of lame. (please take into account that I was 5 at the time.)

Oh. I just thought of this. When I was in 1st grade, my best friend and I played HP at recess. She was Hermione and I was Harry. We would clap and run to the other side of the playground to pretend that we were apperating.
I also have several fake wands and a fake Marauder's Map that my sister and I made.

Oh, oh! I loved making fake Marauders maps!!! I used to take paper and crumple it up a lot until if felt soft and flimsy then add a teabag to a tiny bit of water so it was extra extra strong and soak the paper in it, leaving it crumpled so it would make veins in the paper. It was quite fun. Then I'd leave it to dry and draw all over it when it was done.
