How many OWL's did Harry, Ron, and Hermione get altogether?

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

Harry - 7
Ron - 7
Hermione - 11
I think...

[Rconsole]

Correct! :)

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

Ahh to easy, go ahead your turn.

Question
In PoA, how did Sirius Black first find out that Peter Pettigrew was at Hogwarts
(the answer must be precise enough)

Clarification: How did Sirius Black find out that Peter Pettigrew was at Hogwarts while Sirius Black was locked up in Azkaban

[Spock]

Harry saw him on the Marauders Map and told him?

[The Wizard from Milan]

Harry saw him on the Marauders Map and told him?
Nope.
Also see clarification in the question post

[durinsbane2244]

sirius saw him in the newspaper article's picture on the weasleys goin to egypt that fudge gave him to do the crosswards. . .

oh, and spock, we have that on a plaque on the wall [your new sig]!! :D

[The Wizard from Milan]

sirius saw him in the newspaper article's picture on the weasleys goin to egypt that fudge gave him to do the crosswards. . .
Maybe I am being too demanding, but how did Sirius knew that it was Peter?

[Spock]

good for you WFM, make 'em work for it. :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Because he had a toe missing.

[The Wizard from Milan]

Because he had a toe missing.
Very good! you go
(Don't hate me durinsbane2244 :o , you did have 2/3 of the answer right )

[durinsbane2244]

sigh, i don't hate you milano, if i hated you i wouldn't have an excuse to say milano, cause i give everybody nicknames milano, ain't that right spocko? :cool: :D

[Spock]

i give everybody nicknames milano, ain't that right spocko?


yepo!

[Spock]

Question
In PoA, how did Sirius Black first find out that Peter Pettigrew was at Hogwarts
(the answer must be precise enough)
Clarification: How did Sirius Black find out that Peter Pettigrew was at Hogwarts while Sirius Black was locked up in Azkaban

When Fudge came to Azkaban he gave Sirus his Daily Prophet and there was Peter, on the front page on ...(ron's shoulder)...I knew him at once ......I'd seen him transform......and the caption said the boy would be going back to Hogwarts....to where Harry was.

[durinsbane2244]

gasp! a mod double posted! fix it! fix it!

[Spock]

Well is the answer correct or not? :(

[durinsbane2244]

you still haven't fixed it! spock, tell whoever mods this!

[The Wizard from Milan]

Well is the answer correct or not? :(
It is correct, but I had already adjudicated the question to Telcontar_Dunedain because his answer (together with the piece durnisbane wrote) was good enough for me.
Boy, I am breaking people's hearts with this; I promise I won't ask any more pedantic questions :p

[Spock]

you still haven't fixed it! spock, tell whoever mods this!


I don't see any 'dupe' post, I don't mod this particular thread topic and haven't found anything to report to TPTB. ;)

[The Wizard from Milan]

This is OT, but I don't see why there is this rule against double posts. I think that double posts are good when you are answering to conceptuall separate posts. I do not like separate answers in the same post and I propose a new rule against "sandwitch posts" (i.e. posts that put together several answers) and for multiple postings

[Spock]

There isn't a rule against double posts. Duplicate posts should be removed. They sometimes happen when you hit the post reply button twice, resulting in the exact same message being posted twice.
Cutting and pasting answers to a second persons question isn't against rules at all.

This whole question, started by durinsbane has stalled this thread topic. We need to know who got the correct answer to the question and move on.

[Lord Choc Obo]

It is correct, but I had already adjudicated the question to Telcontar_Dunedain because his answer (together with the piece durnisbane wrote) was good enough for me.
Boy, I am breaking people's hearts with this; I promise I won't ask any more pedantic questions :p

there ya go, its Telcontar_Dunedain.

next question please :p

[durinsbane2244]

oooh, ok, gotcha, so yah, telcontardunadainianawhatsitcalledabobitmajigga, go!

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Sorry for the delay guys, I forgot I posted here.
What and who circled Gilderoy Lockhart's lessons in CoS?

[Rconsole]

I don't think I understand the question but I know that Hermione outlined the lessons in hearts in her planner, is that what you were looking for?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

That is. Your go.

[Rconsole]

What is Ginny Weasley's middle name?

[durinsbane2244]

can we get a hint here or somethin, i could go get my books, but the looking though them, the searching, not to mention the walking, climbing the stairs, and that's not even considering standing up!

[Rconsole]

Sure no problem,
Hint: It is a name that is already in the family

[durinsbane2244]

molly?

[Rconsole]

You got it ;)

[durinsbane2244]

yay! i think this might've been said before, but who is the bartender at the hog's head?

[The Wizard from Milan]

who is the bartender at the hog's head?
Aberforth Dumbledore

[durinsbane2244]

correct, go ahead.

[The Wizard from Milan]

How did Montague get back to Hogwarts after the twins shut him into the vanishing cabinet?

This is an extremely tricky question, but I'll be very leaninent; I am basically asking this question in order to be able to tell you somthing I learnt somewhere else

[Rconsole]

since you are being lenient i'll leave it at he apparated out and nearly killed himself doing it

[The Wizard from Milan]

since you are being lenient i'll leave it at he apparated out and nearly killed himself doing it
Corret, you go

Let me just tell you know what I read. What you quoted is from HBP, but from OotP we know that he was found in Moaning Myrthle's toilet.
Now, we know that you can't apparate inside Hogwarts, so how did he end up in the toilet?

[tolkienfan]

Wow I didn't notice that! I have no idea! How? Does anyone know?

[Rconsole]

hmmm... thats a good point i can't see any way around that one

Who is head of the Goblin Liaison office?

[Spock]

Oh, OH, I know this one: Dirk Cresswell :)

[Lord Choc Obo]

Corret, you go

Now, we know that you can't apparate inside Hogwarts, so how did he end up in the toilet?
I've been thinking about that myself too. little mistake there JKR, maybe she's got an explanation for it though :-p

[Rconsole]

Thats's right Spock

[Spock]

Who said: "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches..."

[durinsbane2244]

trelawny...

[Rconsole]

/The Prophecy

[Spock]

trelawny...


Indeed. ;)

[durinsbane2244]

yay! where are the sectumsempra cuts on malfoy?

[Rconsole]

On the face and across the chest

[durinsbane2244]

righto, your go!

[thinking, hehe, my ryhmes are so subtle, hehe]

[Rconsole]

lol

Which Death Eater is responsible for the missing chunk of Alastor Moody's nose?
(last name)

[Spock]

..can't remember and HP&SS is on now so good night Lucy

[durinsbane2244]

hm, [stabbing wildly] malfoy? mcnare? lestrange? the other lestrange?

[Rconsole]

Nope, the guy I'm looking for was from back in the day and his son was also a Death Eater

[The Wizard from Milan]

Which Death Eater is responsible for the missing chunk of Alastor Moody's nose?
(last name)
Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
(I guess there is no Death Eater called Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)

[Serenoli]

Evan Rosier :)

[Rconsole]

It was Rosier and Evan was his son but since nobody else had any clue you can ask the next question :)

[durinsbane2244]

Finally! Yay!

[Serenoli]

It was Rosier and Evan was his son but since nobody else had any clue you can ask the next question :)

I was quite positive that Evan Rosier did the deed... still, here's my question:

What is Mr. Weasly's dearest ambition?

[The Wizard from Milan]

What is Mr. Weasly's dearest ambition?
To understand eckletricity

[Rconsole]

To know how aeroplanes stay up/fly

[Serenoli]

Rconsole, ur right, u get the next question...

[Rconsole]

What year did Dumbledore defeat Grindlewald?

[The Wizard from Milan]

What year did Dumbledore defeat Grindlewald?
1945

[Rconsole]

yep :D

[The Wizard from Milan]

Question: who ordered the dementor's attack to Harry in Little Whinging

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

Wasn't it Umbridge?

[The Wizard from Milan]

Wasn't it Umbridge?
Yes, it was her.
Your turn

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

Who is the conductor of the Knight Bus?

[Serenoli]

Stan Shunpike

[Rconsole]

Ernie Prang

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

Stan is the conductor, Ernie is the driver.

your q serenoli

[Serenoli]

Where is the Room of Requirement, and who first mentioned it to Harry?

[Rconsole]

across from the portrait of the trolls(or giants) doing ballet
and I Dobby I think, or it might have been Dumbledore, but I don't think dumbledore actually said "the room of requirement"

[Spock]

Where? Wasn't it on the 7th floor?

[Serenoli]

ur both right, but I give it to Rconsole because he got both parts. As for who mentioned it, I was looking for Dumbledore, not Dobby, but you did think of it, and that's close enough for me! :rolleyes:

[Rconsole]

How long was the wand that Mr. Ollivander sold to Hagrid when he starting at Hogwarts?

[Serenoli]

I'm guessing... fourteen inches. Cos he's so tall! :D

[Spock]

Sixteen inches?

[Rconsole]

Sixteen inches?
yep, 16 :)

[Spock]

Who used Polyjuice Potion to escape Azkaban? :rolleyes:

[Rconsole]

Nobody...as far as I know...

[Lord Choc Obo]

the guy, the son of the guy that....DAMMIT :D what was his name.

I don't have that book in english, I only have it in dutch, and there he's called Krenck (barto?)

but it was the son of the guy percy was working for. the father made polyjuice potion for his son with hair of the mother in it because the mother was dying of grief, so the father entered Azkaban with the mother (a dying person) and left prison with his polyjuiced son (a dying person), since the Dementors can't see, but only feel the lifestrength, they didn't notice at all, the poly juice was only so that other prisoners wouldn't alarm the Dementors.

[durinsbane2244]

bartemus crouch, aka barty, aka the son of bartemus crouch, but please give it to him^, i pity his dutch book and he really seems to know it.. :D

[Rconsole]

,Ohh yaaaaaaaaaaaaa,I think you mean Barty Crouch Jr., I completely forgot about that!

EDIT: lol i guess we posted at the same time ^_^

[durinsbane2244]

i suppose so, i still think ol' choci should get it though...

A noble effort and a linguistic challenge....but you've risen to the occasion and have the correct answer. You go. :D

[The Wizard from Milan]

Offi-topic
Illigitimi Non Carborundum
I wonder whether it is true in English too that a derogatory term for children born outside marriage is "bastard"

[Lord Choc Obo]

go me :D

anyways, here comes DA QUESTION:

name the only persons, next to the Red Baron, Peeves ever took an order of/from/... (you know what I mean ;) )

[The Wizard from Milan]

name the only persons, next to the Red Baron, Peeves ever took an order of/from/... (you know what I mean ;) )
Fred and George

Although we know that Peeves listened to McGonagall's advice about the chandelier and (according to Filch) Dumbledore had some control over him/it too

[Lord Choc Obo]

correctomundo

he only took a DIRECT order of the lads, McGonagall only gave ADVICE and we never really saw DD give Peeves a true order, so we don't know (if i'm correct at least)

you go

[The Wizard from Milan]

In PS/SS, how was Harry saved from the curse directed to make him fall from the broom?

[Rconsole]

By Hermione setting Snape's robe on fire, which distracted Quirrel.

[The Wizard from Milan]

By Hermione setting Snape's robe on fire, which distracted Quirrel.
Very close, but not exactly right. (My goodness I am being picky again).

[Rconsole]

then do you mean Snape muttering the anti-jinx under his breath?

[Lord Choc Obo]

Very close, but not exactly right. (My goodness I am being picky again).
extremly picky, both R's first and second answer were correct in my opinion :D but it's your question.

too bad I didn't spot that first, I could've had the question :D

[durinsbane2244]

i no how you feel, i miss one day and two questions i new have come and gone!

[The Wizard from Milan]

then do you mean Snape muttering the anti-jinx under his breath?
Actually, that is true but it is not what I was thinking about.
I wanted to hear that Hermione knocks Quirrell over accidentally while going to set Snape on fire.

Anyways, I decided you were close enough.
Rconsole you go

[durinsbane2244]

so, can we get a question?

[Spock]

We've waited way too long for someone to post a trivia question :(

durinsbane2244 :)

Please go ahead and post the next question :confused:

Thanks

[Rconsole]

lol sorry about that :o

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

why didn't you ask a question rconsole?

[Spock]

ok, quickly now: how many hidden passageways out of Hogwarts ? :confused:

[Serenoli]

Seven?

[Spock]

Seven?

Yes, indeed. :D

You are now in charge of the next question. ;)

[durinsbane2244]

bah, i can't get it deleted....

[Spock]

DB2244-as you were overly late I had asked a question which was correctly answered by Serenoli. Would you please delete your question and if he answers with a question within 48 hrs. fine, if not you can repost.

[durinsbane2244]

ah, ok, all i saw was something along the lines of "you're in charge of the next question", and i had a pm...but waaa! i can't find the delete button!

[Serenoli]

Spock, I'm a girl!!! :rolleyes: Isn't my name pretty obviuos that way?

Hmmm... about questions:

Approximately how old is Hagrid?

I'm not very sure about this myself, but count from the end of Book six please.

[Spock]

Spock, I'm a girl!!! :rolleyes: Isn't my name pretty obviuos that way?


hmmm, not to a Vulcan-ninja :)

Could be a talking pasta or a house in Stromboli :D

I'll make a note.

[The Wizard from Milan]

... or a house in Stromboli
How did Stromboli come to your mind? :)

[The Wizard from Milan]

Approximately how old is Hagrid?

I think he is about 70.
We know he was slightly younger than Tom Riddle

[Spock]

How did Stromboli come to your mind? :)

il mio sposo è italiano e spagnolo.

[durinsbane2244]

i take it you speak italien?

[Serenoli]

I, for one, don't know italian, except for a few phrases and have no idea what Spock's saying.

And Wizard from Milan (another Italian, perhaps?):You're pretty close, but could you be a bit more exact? I know I said approxiamtely, but that was before I worked it out, and found you can get an exact figure. Tom Riddle is now 70. How old is Hagrid then?

[The Wizard from Milan]

I think Hagrid is 68; I am not sure

And yes, I am italian

[Spock]

i take it you speak italien?

I speak one language very well, one language moderately well, two languages almost not at all. On the other hand, my spouse speaks five; so I cheat. :D

[Spock]

Well Hagrid was 62 when HP came to H, so he should be 67 by the latest book.

[The Wizard from Milan]

il mio sposo è italiano e spagnolo.
Good for you.

[Serenoli]

I got 67- he was thirteen when expelled, exactly 50 years later it was the 2nd year for Harry, and then 4 more years. So, Spock got the right answer.

BTW, I speak two languages well, and another language I understand, but am not fluent in. I'm a bit jealous of Spock, and even more so of his wife! And what does il mio sposo è italiano e spagnolo mean?

[Lord Choc Obo]

completely off topic but I speak dutch (mother language) french (my mother's language :D) and english (school and tv) fluently, and I speak german understandebly (yes I made up that word...at least I think I made it up) and also un poco espanol :D

[durinsbane2244]

well, i see that we have quite the multilinguial (sp?) group here....so who's goin next?

[Lord Choc Obo]

that's up to our beloves serenoli to say :-)

[durinsbane2244]

indeed... ours is not to reason why, ours is but to wait and...hang on, i don't like where this is going...

[The Wizard from Milan]

what does il mio sposo è italiano e spagnolo mean?
It means "My husband is italian and spanish". The word used is the masculine for "spouse"

[durinsbane2244]

wait a second...spock's a lady? but spock was a guy in trek! wow..wait a second, if all the coolness is a lady, than there's hope for the world yet! yes! i have a chance! spock, you have a lucky husband..oh, and thats not a creepy thing, cuz im a kid, and that's like, more compliment than creepy...or at least it was meant that way.... :D

[Spock]

YOU ARE WRONG DURNINO! I used the masculine as my grammar in Spanish is somewhat lacking. Like my name sake, I'm of the same gender.
perdone mi español pobre-Soy un hombre :confused:

[Lord Choc Obo]

ayaya, no es bueno (the simpsons :D)

yo no hablo espanol, el gatto mira el perro, vamos a la playa, como estas?? yo sum muy bien, e tu??

:D A QUESTION PLEASE, or else I'm going, sorry if serenoli comes back, but this is taking time and ruining the thread kinda


what did Dudley try to give to the dementors according to uncle vernon??

(anyone who read OoP can correct this question since I'm going to bed and I won't be back untill late tomorrow at best, so continue without me please)

[Spock]

[QUOTE=Lord Choc Obo]what did Dudley try to give to the dementors according to uncle vernon??
QUOTE]

I don't remember him trying to give anything.....he was affected because Harry was there and became nauseous and chilled to the bone; that's all I can remember.

[The Wizard from Milan]

what did Dudley try to give to the dementors according to uncle vernon??
The old one-two (referring to Dudley's boxing prowess)

[Lord Choc Obo]

Wizmil is correct, uncle vernon said "gave em the old one-two, ey?" oon which harry replied that you can't give the old one-two to dementors.

if I had asked "what did dudley give the dementors" your answer would've been correct spock, but it's all about the details :D

[The Wizard from Milan]

Question:
Who said, “To a well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure”?

[durinsbane2244]

[The Wizard from Milan]

ol' Dumbly o' course!
Correct. You go.

[durinsbane2244]

ok, name each new main addition to our knowledge of the wizarding world in each book, for example, in book 2 we find out that they snap your wand if ou get expelled, continue from there...

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

Book 3 explains wizard jail.

[Spock]

That's a really difficult question "DB". To read every book and take notes is perhaps too much to ask for one question on a message board (no million dollar prize). Perhaps you might modify it for the sake of difficulty and convenience? :eek:

[durinsbane2244]

it's not really taking notes, like above, in book 3 we find out about azkaban, than in book 4 a major ability [hint] appears...oh fine! 3, jail, 4, apparation, 5, the order/pensieve, 6, side along! happy now?!?! :D new question than...
what spells are use'd between harry and malfoy in the duel in CoS?

[Elanor]

Actually, we find out about Azkaban in book 2, when Hagrid gets sent there...

In the CoS duel, Harry and Malfoy use tarantallegra, rictusempra, and serpensortia.

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

it's not really taking notes, like above, in book 3 we find out about azkaban, than in book 4 a major ability [hint] appears...oh fine! 3, jail, 4, apparation, 5, the order/pensieve, 6, side along! happy now?!?!


6 - side along?

[Spock]

Thanks, "DB". One would have had to reread the books in order to get the answer; taking notes would be needed to keep track of what was introduced in which book. Most here don't have photographic memories.

[Lord Choc Obo]

6 - side along?

side along apparition, where an wizard can "carry" along another wizard whilst apparating

[durinsbane2244]

1. i do have a good semi-photographic memory...sorry...
2. who is BJ?
3. yes, elinor got it, go ahead...

[Spock]

**SHAZAM** it's DB, see :D

[Elanor]

1. i do have a good semi-photographic memory...sorry...
2. who is BJ?
3. yes, elinor got it, go ahead...

1. obviously mine's better ;)
2. I don't get Spock's acronyms either...
3. ok, here goes:

What are Dumbledore's favorite non-magical sport, type of music, and jam?

[durinsbane2244]

hmmm...i know chamber music, and could easily find the others should i find the energy...but this chair is so comfortable... :D

[Spock]

What are Dumbledore's favorite non-magical sport, type of music, and jam?


1. basketball :confused:
2. chamber music
3. rasberry

[The Wizard from Milan]

1. basketball :confused:
2. chamber music
3. rasberry
Snoboarding? (I don't remeber, I think it was something outlandish; I think it is mentioned on the chocolate frog card in PS/SS)
I know chamber music is right and so is raspberry

[Serenoli]

tenpin bowling :cool:

[durinsbane2244]

yes! the chance is mine!

10 pin bowling, chamber music, raspberry! you didn't say them all! yay! :D
nah, i won't claim it...

[The Wizard from Milan]

The right answer has been given; we are waiting for Elanor.

[Serenoli]

Durin's Bane!! How dare you try steal my question? :mad: :p

Elanor has obiously disappeared, so, here's my question:

'How did Montague escape the Vanishing Cabinet, and how (and why) did he end up there in the first place?'

[Lord Choc Obo]

he apparated out, Fred and George chucked him in, but since one of the two cabinets was broken he couldn't get out anymore.

btw, he never learned how to apparate so it was completly illegal what he did, and a sign of great wizardry (first time apparating, not knowing what to do AND not leaving a bodypart behind??? go montague)

[Elanor]

Sorry, I don't go online every day. Well, I guess Serenoli has the right to continue on, so let's see if LCO's answer is right...

[durinsbane2244]

it is...though we still wait...

[Serenoli]

Actually, its almost correct...

I wanted to know know how, which he answered right, as in F&G chucked him in. But no one answered why they chucked him in...

And yes, it was extraordinary... I suppose he must have apparated into the Borgin n Burks shop cos you can't apparate into Hogwarts, can you? But not so extraordinary, really, considering Harry once apparated to the top of his school roof when Dudley n his friends were chasing him... And he was probably concentrating REALLY hard, considering the no-food, no drink situation, and isn't that the first thing you have to do, one of those three Ds: determination, dedication or sth...

[The Wizard from Milan]

Actually, its almost correct...

I wanted to know know how, which he answered right, as in F&G chucked him in. But no one answered why they chucked him in...

Montague wanted to dock points from them as part of Umbridge special squad

And yes, it was extraordinary... I suppose he must have apparated into the Borgin n Burks shop cos you can't apparate into Hogwarts, can you? But not so extraordinary, really, considering Harry once apparated to the top of his school roof when Dudley n his friends were chasing him... And he was probably concentrating REALLY hard, considering the no-food, no drink situation, and isn't that the first thing you have to do, one of those three Ds: determination, dedication or sth...
We talked about this in this very thread. There is some contraddiction, since in OotP we know he was found a Hogwarts' toilet.
Also, it is not that extraordinary since the book is consitent with Montague having taken the apparition course but failed the test, so at least he would have the theory of apparition "destination, determination..."

[Lord Choc Obo]

Also, it is not that extraordinary since the book is consitent with Montague having taken the apparition course but failed the test, so at least he would have the theory of apparition "destination, determination..."

aha, I never saw that before, must have read over it or just forgotten about it :(

crap you wiz of mizzle you stole my answer, but you can have it :D

[durinsbane2244]

sooo, can we get a question?

[The Wizard from Milan]

sooo, can we get a question?
Well. It has not been confirmed yet that I got the answer right.

But in the interest of keeping Durin from exploding of anticipation, here is the question:
After Harry witnesses in a dream the snake's attack on Mr Weasley, Dumbledore asks of his silver instrument two questions. What was the second question that Dumbledore asked to the silver instrument. And what interpretation do you give to the instrument's answer (any reasonable answer to this part of the question will be accepted)

[Lord Choc Obo]

"but in essence divided?"

DD was afraid that Voldy and Harry truly shared a soul, meaning that whoever was the strongest could totally control the other. naturally this would've been Voldy, if it wouldn't have been for the fact that only a small peeking hole was opened between their two completly different minds by voldies AK attack.

so in essence, their souls are still divided and not intertwined :D

or something like that, it's not easy to explain it all in english since the thoughts just go rushing through my head, and then I still got to translate 'em :D

[The Wizard from Milan]

Correct, Lord Choc Obo, you go.

I used to give the same interpretation. Although I now give a completely different interpretation of that part.
Attention! Possible mega-spoiler for HP7
Harry has a second piece of Voldy soul within his body. Harry is an unintended horcrux and that is what are causing all his Voldy-specific powers

[durinsbane2244]

yes, both good interpretations, yet only time may tell....

[Lord Choc Obo]

okay here it comes.

how comes Sirius knows of harry forming the DA classes???

[durinsbane2244]

er, harry told him? or he heard it in the hog's head?

[The Wizard from Milan]

Mundungus Fletcher was at the Hogs Head under the "witch" veil. Since "Dung" (as he is affectionately called) is a member of the OotP, the order knew of the DA

[Lord Choc Obo]

go wizzle of mizzle :D you are correctomundo :D

[durinsbane2244]

wow...i never thought snoop and harry would meet...

[The Wizard from Milan]

Question:
What shopkeeper disappeared from Diangon Alley in HBP?
Propose a theory about why exactly that shopkeeper and not another one disappeared

[Serenoli]

Florean Fortescue the ice-cream parlour guy who gave Harry so many sundaes in Book3.

Why Florean? Interesting question... maybe they (Voldy and death eaters) wanted inside information on Harry's favourite ice cream flavour, then they could send him poisoned ice-cream!! :D :p

Oh, wait... you're talking about Ollivander, aren't you? Well, in that case, its to ask him to explain what happened at the end of Goblet of Fire... you know, why the wands behaved so strangely.

Correct, you go!

[Serenoli]

Ok, then:

What was the first indication you had in HBP that Harry liked Ginny?

(Answers may vary, I suppose... the earliest indication, in book-time, wins)

[The Wizard from Milan]

Ok, then:

In the Slughorn class one of the smells he perceives in Amoretia is the smell of something grass-ish he smelled at the burrow

[durinsbane2244]

i don't remember if this was in this book or not, but, when they get on the train, he asks to find a compartment, forgetting that they don't hang aroud together...

[Serenoli]

Durin's bane got the earliest hint... so its his/her turn..

Me, I only realized when just after Slughorn's class Ginny turned up at the Hall, and he smelled the same flowery scent which he had smelled in the dungeon... but you will laugh when you hear what one of my friends did... she read it after me, and when she got to the part where Harry sees Ginny kissing Dean in the hidden staircase, she turned to me and said, "You know what... don't laugh... but, do you think its possible that maybe Harry likes Ginny?"

Well, I also realized it very late during my first read, but then again I don't usually pay attention to hints about heterosexual relationship

[Spock]

Sad that one can't just enjoy the literature w/o looking for sexual orientation messages. :(

[Lord Choc Obo]

I knew it was gonna happen since the moment we got to know Ginny fancied Harry in what was it the second book??

[The Wizard from Milan]

Sad that one can't just enjoy the literature w/o looking for sexual orientation messages. :(
What I meant to say is that hints about heterosexual relationships fly over my head.

A toad with a fly perched on the head? Talking about the "ribbon" (can't quite remeber the word in English, the bow that looks like a butterfly) on her head

[durinsbane2244]

yes, and she was about to flick her tongue out and get it...i never was picky! [sorry spocko]! :D go ahead...

[The Wizard from Milan]

Question:
List all characters stealing bloomslang from Snape's storage (that we know of from canon)

[Serenoli]

Hermione and Bartemius Crouch Jr.?

[The Wizard from Milan]

Hermione and Bartemius Crouch Jr.?
Correct. You go

[Serenoli]

What is the most flattering description of Rita Skeeter given in the books?

[The Wizard from Milan]

I think it is the description that her own quick quote quill gives. I don't quite remember but I think it includes the sentence "whose quill puntured many inflated egos" or some such

[Serenoli]

I don't quite remember but I think it includes the sentence "whose quill puntured many inflated egos" or some such

LOL! :D Yes! I always loved that... the flattering part was of course the attractive blonde part... its your turn now.

[The Wizard from Milan]

Question
How did Barty Crouch jr escape Azkaban?

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

Mr. and Mrs. Crouch came to visit him, and because Mrs. Crouch was near death, she decided to bring polyjuice potions for her and her son, she turned into him, and he turned into her. Barty Jr. left as his mother, with his father, leaving Mrs. Crouch to die inside the prison.

[Lord Choc Obo]

that question was already brought up once, I knew the answer why wasn't I able to look earlier, snif snif

[durinsbane2244]

amen to that, amen to that...

[durinsbane2244]

hello, witch king...been a while...

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

Sorry, a few net problems but i think its fixed now...

What does Harry get from the Dursley's as a Christmas present at his first year at Hogwarts?

[The Wizard from Milan]

What does Harry get from the Dursley's as a Christmas present at his first year at Hogwarts?
Uncle Vernon's old socks and a hanger?

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

I'm afraid not...

[Rconsole]

was it only uncle Vernon's old sock?

[Elanor]

A fifty-cent piece?

[durinsbane2244]

a fifty cent piece wrapped in an old sock of vernon's? [he said, knowing it to be wrong]

[Serenoli]

He got a toothpick at some point. Was that the answer you're looking for?

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

I suppose i'll give it to Elanor, it was a 50 pent piece.

[Elanor]

Yay! Ok, now a question.

Which character has had a broken skull and who was responsible for it?

[The Wizard from Milan]

Hagrid had the broken skull? Broken by Grwap?

[Elanor]

nope

[Serenoli]

aaah... can't remember a single cracked skull really!

Would noses be counted as part of skulls... then I could name dozens... Moody, Neville, Hermione to start with...

Maybe, if you're really being tricksy, then its Quirrell, and Lord Voldy is responsible! :D

[Elanor]

Nope, it wasn't any of those people. I'll give you one hint: the skull breaking was deliberate on the part of the perpetrator.

[durinsbane2244]

weeeelll, when peaves pushed over that statue? i suppose the head broke...

[Serenoli]

does a statue count as a character? then maybe one of the statues in OotP when Dumbly animated all those statues in the Ministry.

[The Wizard from Milan]

Karkaroff by Death eaters

[durinsbane2244]

was it really? oh...hm...[walks off in a half-impressed half-thoughtful manner for no apparent reason]

[The Wizard from Milan]

was it really? oh...hm...[walks off in a half-impressed half-thoughtful manner for no apparent reason]
I am not sure at all. It is my best guess.

[Elanor]

Nobody's got it yet. Another hint: it was done with a beater's bat.

[durinsbane2244]

oooh! oooh! that one guy on slytherin "thought the other guy was a bludger"! aaah! whoooo, are you? who who, who who? whooo, are you? who who, who who?

[Elanor]

It wasn't a Slytherin...

[Serenoli]

maybe... it was the Irish beater who hit Krum in the face with a bludger... can't remember if he cracked the skull, though

[The Wizard from Milan]

I know Ludo Bagman had his nose broken but I don't remeber anything about the skull

[Yuizuiki]

what did barrty crouch turn his father into when he killed him

[Elanor]

A bone.

But nobody's got the skull question yet. It wasn't Krum or Bagman... need more hints?

[tolkienfan]

Wasn't it Cormac Mclaggen (no idea how to spell his name) breaking Harry's skull? I remembered that as soon as I heard it was done with a beaters bat. :D That part was kind of funny, but sad that Harry has to fall off his broom again. :o

[Elanor]

You got it. :) So, your turn to ask a question, tolkienfan.

[durinsbane2244]

wait wait wait, that wasn't intentional, and he did it with a bludger, not the bat, he used the bat to hit the bludger...

[Elanor]

Well, a beater's bat was still used. And the intentional part could be up for debate-- I got the impression he meant to do it, anyway.

[durinsbane2244]

i don't think he did, see, had he tried to hit harry, he probably would've missed...

[Elanor]

Ha Ha

[durinsbane2244]

the sad part is that it's probably true...

[tolkienfan]

Who refereed the Quidditch World Cup?

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

Hassan Mustafar (or something like that)

from Egypt i think...

[Spock]

What spell does Dobby save Harry Potter from at the end of the Chamber of Secrets? Well the spell in the book.




No spell.
The spell was only in the movie (avada kedavra, stopped mid sentence)



Well after almost four months, I got to watch the movie on network tv, commercials and all (I know but this is an old post and I wanted to be clear) :D

It isn't the avada kedavra as the spell begins with other letters a.... , I used the closed captioning but wasn't fast enough to remember it...but it didn't start adava. Boy I'm glad that's over with. :eek: :o

[durinsbane2244]

er, spock, where did that come from?

[tolkienfan]

Hassan Mustafar (or something like that)

from Egypt i think...
Yep! :)

bloomslang skin?

[Merenwen Vardamir]

:rolleyes: ok, Harry had a birthday in S.S., which one?
Can I play? :)

[Merenwen Vardamir]

Oh, yes, yes, yes you are right; it has planets on it, if I remember well; he uses it in chapter 1 in Privet Drive while he is waiting for Hagrid. I think the book says "it must have made sense to him because..."
I am not sure I remember "because what" but I think it says "because he said `Hagrid should be here soon'"

EDITED AFTER THE QUESTION HAS BEEN ADJUDICATED: Dumbledore's watch is mentioned also in OotP after the fight between Voldemort and Dumbledore, when Dumbledore says to Fudge how much time he's got

It says 'It was a very odd watch. It had 12 hands but no numbers. Insteed little planets were circling around the edges. It must have made sence to Dumbledore though, because he put it back in his pocket and said, "Hagrids late. I suppose it was he who told you I'd be here-" Or something like that.... Sorry, but I can't check now, so I'm doing it from memory.... :(

[The Wizard from Milan]

Can I play? :)
Jump right in.
I have given my best guess to the current question, but if know of a better answer, shoot :)

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

bloomslang skin?

Yer thats right, your go

[Elanor]

Just a bit of info you don't need: "boomslang" means tree snake in Dutch. :) Pronounced "bome - slong".

Question:
In what occasion did Fred and George arrive closest to hit Voldemort? (one can even say that they did hit him)

Do you mean in S.S when they bewitched snowballs to bounce off of Quirells(sp) turban? I guess that time! :)

[The Wizard from Milan]

Correct!! you go.

(and I was already thinking that it might have taken a week for the right answer to be given)
