Instructions
Game Setup
Attach each T-Connector to a post.
Take apart the hula hoops at the staple or seam.
Attach each hula hoop to the T-Connectors by sticking an end into each side to make scoring hoops.
Cut towels or sheets in square large enough to tie corners to hula hoops to make a net.
Post each scoring hoop on opposite ends of swimming pool.
Scatter lots of lightweight balls like whiffle balls or "ball-pit" balls over the pool so that they are floating throughout the pool.
Take one of the coins and make it different from the others by drawing a special mark on it.
Scatter the coins throughout the swimming pool.
Place beach balls into pool.
Game Rules
Keepers guard their hoops.
Chasers have to toss the Quaffles into the opposing team's nets.
Beaters try to hit players with beach balls.
Seekers dive for the Snitch, searching through all of the coins scattered throughout.
Game Play
Divide players into teams and assign positions.
If a player is hit with a Bludger, he or she must freeze on the spot and count out loud (SLOWLY) for 10 seconds before getting back into the game.
If a Seeker pickup a coin and it's not the Snitch, he or she must drop the coin where they are and keep looking.
The Seeker who finds the snitch must yell out and this ends the game.

Please note that the patterns and tutorials you find here have been designed by Harry Potter fans all over the Internet. The authors alone hold the copyrights and licences to these patterns and tutorials, which means you CANNOT use their patterns to make something that you will sell to others afterwards. You can use them to make things for yourself. You can make some for your friends and ask them to pay for supplies. You CANNOT, however, ask them to pay you to do it as though you had created this pattern by yourself, or try to sell you crafts to a local store.
Think about it. Would you take a Prisoner of Azkaban book, photocopy it, put your name in big red letters on the front cover and try to sell it in your local library? The answer is, obviously, no. Well, selling crafts you have made but not designed would be just as bad!
