I've always wondered what the game from the Sorceror's Stone actually looked like. I was unable find the opening, but I do have the position while it ended. Here's how it looked like towards the end. It's a nice little puzzle, if you want to look at it that way:

In this setup, the Harry is the bishop on a3, Ron is the knight on g5, and hermione is the castled rook on f8. Black has lost his queen but has White's king opened up and vulnerable.

Edit: on move 1, harry is on a3,not a2.

I'm not sure if you saw this website or not, but if you didn't it might interest you: http://www.jeremysilman.com/movies_tv_js/harry_potter.html

The opening was the Scandinavian Defense. I don't think the game was actually created; just the opening and end position. Perhaps someone can come up with a possible game.

I never understood why one of them didn't play the king. Was that not a possibility or something?

One of them wasn't the king because they just filled up the empty squares on the board, which happened to be a knight, bishop, and rook

Oh gotcha. It has been a really long time since I saw the movie, I just remember Ron saying for me, I'll be a knight. I thought he chose what piece each person was.

White's position is unbelievably bad, my computer resigns almost outright.

Note that in exchange for his queen that white has 3 full and healthy minor pieces.
