harry potter book trivia

[durinsbane2244]

like the fotr game:

what was the name of the headmaster before dumbledore?

[Radagast The Brown]

There's a Harry Potter trivia thread... that was basically stuck the last 5 months. I suppose we can continue that instead of openning a new one: http://www.entmoot.com/showthread.php?t=7772&page=1&pp=20

[durinsbane2244]

o, well than. . . . . :D

[Spock]

[QUOTE=Radagast The Brown]There's a Harry Potter trivia thread... that was basically stuck the last 5 months.

Let's use this thread, it is at worst, alive :)

HERE is a great link for all H.P. fans http://www.scholastic.com/harrypotter/challenge/index.htm

great fun and trivia too. ;)

[Radagast The Brown]

Alright, o great moderator.. :)

Was it Dipet, then, to the question in the first post?

[durinsbane2244]

dibbet, close enough :D

[durinsbane2244]

ok, 6 days, unless youre goin to release some evilly hard question, get on with it!

[Radagast The Brown]

Sorry.. just didn't notice.

What did the Dursleys give Harry for his 10th birthday?

[durinsbane2244]

either a coat hanger, or vernons old socks

[The Wizard from Milan]

dibbet, close enough :D
I actually think it was Armando Dippet

[Radagast The Brown]

The old socks, IIRC. :) Your turn. (durinsbane2244)

[durinsbane2244]

all righty, what vault is the sorcerer's stone kept in?

[Spock]

# 13

[durinsbane2244]

nope

[Spock]

17 ?

[durinsbane2244]

wrong again, the 1st one was closer, though not in a way youll expect

[Spock]

....hmmm well then I keeps some and adds more, my prescious

713 :confused:

[durinsbane2244]

there you go, looks like its just me an you. . . .
your go!

[Spock]

:rolleyes: ok, Harry had a birthday in S.S., which one?

[Radagast The Brown]

:rolleyes: ok, Harry had a birthday in S.S., which one?S.S.? :confused:

[Spock]

S.S.? :confused:


sorcerer's stone-come now that wasn't such a leap was it? :D

[The Wizard from Milan]

:rolleyes: ok, Harry had a birthday in S.S., which one?
11

Who saw Harry's socks at the Yule ball and why does it matter

[Radagast The Brown]

sorcerer's stone-come now that wasn't such a leap was it? :DI think of it as the Philosopher's Stone, sorry. :D

Moody? Why does it matter indeed? :p they were not matched, a present from Dobby (sp.) IIRC.

[Spock]

11

Who saw Harry's socks at the Yule ball and why does it matter

you need to wait for the party who posted the question to confirm your correct entry, THEN you can put your question. At any rate we're moving on. :D

[The Wizard from Milan]

Moody? Why does it matter indeed? :p they were not matched, a present from Dobby (sp.) IIRC.
All what you say is true, but why does it matter?

P.S. Sorry, Spock, I was a bit too eager, wasn't I? :o

[The Wizard from Milan]

Ok, I don't want to hold up the game too long. The reason why it matters we learn at the very end of the book: from the conversation about the socks fake-Moody learns that Harry and Dobby are friends; he uses this information to let Dobby overhear about gillyweeds for the second task.

Radagast, ask the next one. :)

[Radagast The Brown]

Right..! Ok:

Who said that he's 'a dragon-killer for the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures'?

[The Wizard from Milan]

Right..! Ok:

Who said that he's 'a dragon-killer for the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures'?
Stan Shunpike when he is enthralled by the vela in the woods around the Quiddick World Cup stadium?

[Radagast The Brown]

No, but really close. :)

[durinsbane2244]

a think stan said he made a broom to fly to mars, but was it some other kid with him? (harry/ron?)

[Radagast The Brown]

Yes. We don't really know his name. So.. your turn Durin. :)

[durinsbane2244]

alrighty then. . . . .
what is in the second lock of moody's trunk?

[Spock]

parchment and quills?

[The Wizard from Milan]

alrighty then. . . . .
what is in the second lock of moody's trunk?
I don't know :p
I seem to remember that the true Moody was in the last (the seventh); I always wondered whether it served any purpuse to see the content of the other locks or whether it is just a bit of color that JKR added (I think it is very nice, mind you).

[durinsbane2244]

er, i dont think there was an answer, but, uh, just in case. . . .
INCORRECT SIR, OR MADAM, OR . . . .THING!

[Radagast The Brown]

Broken sneakoscopes?

[durinsbane2244]

yes, i think, along with other things. . . .
your go!

[durinsbane2244]

oh, sorry, didnt see spock's.
spock gets it!

[Spock]

What is unusual about Dumbledores watch? :rolleyes:

[The Wizard from Milan]

What is unusual about Dumbledores watch? :rolleyes:
He does not have one that we know of :confused:

[Spock]

not true, sorry :(

[The Wizard from Milan]

not true, sorry :(
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

[Spock]

Well, I'm delighted I am correct in my question but I would like a bit more detail in the answer. Of course if in a day or so more no one else comes close then I'll yeild to you. Please try.

[Radagast The Brown]

It had no numbers? Or no hands?

[durinsbane2244]

it had planets instead of numbers . . .

let us pretend that I, and not radagst, answered first. . . .please. . . ;)

[Spock]

Nope, actually planets had been mentioned already but I wanted more. I'll wait until tomorrow midday before giving it up. Do keep trying to remember. :)

[The Wizard from Milan]

Nope, actually planets had been mentioned already but I wanted more. I'll wait until tomorrow midday before giving it up. Do keep trying to remember. :)
Oh this is soooooooooo putting me in the mood of cheating and looking it up :evil:

[Spock]

As we decided in FOTR, ages ago, after so many questions are asked you just have to go to the source. In the case of HP there are more books involved and so after racking ones memory, it's not cheating if you need look it up. Remember what they teach in college; if you look something up you remember it longer.

[Spock]

It has planets in place the numbers and 12 hands instead of two.

So the Wizard of Milan came closest with half the answer and can post the next question. :p

[durinsbane2244]

blast! let us now pretend that I also andswered before the wizard from milan. . . . . ;) . . . .blast!

[The Wizard from Milan]

Sorry, durinsbane.

Well, ok, here it goes:
in which occasion has Ron been kissed by a girl?

[durinsbane2244]

no problem, hehe.

fleur delacor, after the lake, 2nd challenge. :cool:

[Spock]

Well look at post #42 and you'll see he did reply before you :(

[durinsbane2244]

[durinsbane2244]

[The Wizard from Milan]

how do you get into the kitchens at hogwarts?
Tickling a pear in a painting down the stairs leading to the cellar

[durinsbane2244]

correct, go on.

[The Wizard from Milan]

Question:
Who purports that Harry has a boyfriend?

[durinsbane2244]

WHAT THE BLOODY HELL?!?!?!?!?!?!

either i missed something in the books or you meant girlfriend, right?
thats it, right? or is the answer no one. . . .i say no one, but wow! :eek:

[durinsbane2244]

[COLOR=Black]by the way, what does purport mean? :confused:

[tolkienfan]

Malfoy? He seems the kind of person to say that.

[The Wizard from Milan]

I am not saying that the statement (Harry has a boyfriend) is true. I am saying that the character suggests it is true.
No it is not Malfoy, althogh tolkienfan, you got very close in the spirit with which this statement was made

[The Wizard from Milan]

Ok, let me just answer this one for you, so we can go on.
It is Dudley who taunts Harry about him and Cedric being boyfriends (when Dudley hears Harry talking of Cedric in the night)

tolkienfan you go

[durinsbane2244]

ooooooooooooooooo, dudley, riiiight. . . . .

what DOES purport mean?

[The Wizard from Milan]

to purport
1. trans. To have as its purport, bearing, or tenor; to convey to the mind; to bear as its meaning; to express, set forth, state; to mean, imply.
b. Followed by inf. (of a picture, statue, document, book, or the like; rarely of a person): To profess or claim by its tenor. (Said without pronouncing as to the truth or validity of the claim.)
2. To mean, intend, purpose. rare.
I was using meaning 1b (to state without implying that the statement is true or false), although I see that as meaning 1b I should have used an infinitive after it :o

[tolkienfan]

What class does Hagrid teach?

[durinsbane2244]

thank you milano wizard!

CARE OF MAGICAL CREATURES!!!!

[tolkienfan]

Correct

[durinsbane2244]

Who is the first girl to kiss harry? Adults not included.

[Spock]

#$!! it's an oriental girl but I can't think of it, ratz

[Finrod Felagund]

Cho Chang?

[Spock]

@!#~@!~@#! yeah, good on you for remembering.

[durinsbane2244]

good for you indeed, but incorrect it sadly is! MUAH HA HA HA!!!!

[The Wizard from Milan]

Who is the first girl to kiss harry? Adults not included.
Fleur Delacour

[durinsbane2244]

again good guess, but no!

[Radagast The Brown]

Ginny?

[The Wizard from Milan]

Hermione

[durinsbane2244]

correct wizard from milan. she kissed him on the cheek before a quidditch match for good luck.

[The Wizard from Milan]

correct wizard from milan. she kissed him on the cheek before a quidditch match for good luck.
That was an educated guess. (What match was it?)

Question
In one of the books, Hagrid roosters are killed. Who killed them? and why?

[durinsbane2244]

i dont remember, i think it was somewhere around the 3rd or 4th books, anyway.

chamber of secrets, ginny, so they wouldnt kill the basilisk with their crowing.

[The Wizard from Milan]

chamber of secrets, ginny, so they wouldnt kill the basilisk with their crowing.
Wow, excellent. Your turn

[durinsbane2244]

yay, the fact that i have not only checked this twice within one day, but have answered in detail the question and not only started but use a lot this thread, all point to the obvious conclusion: i am a nerd!!!!! just a little bit. . . :D

anyhoo: (2-parter) how is a basilisk egg made, and, if spock will allow, what is a basilisk in other mythological forms (how else is it depicted)?

[The Wizard from Milan]

yay, the fact that i have not only checked this twice within one day, but have answered in detail the question and not only started but use a lot this thread, all point to the obvious conclusion: i am a nerd!!!!! just a little bit. . . :D Me too!! I feel so nerdish now :o

how is a basilisk egg made a chicken egg hatched under a toad

if spock will allow, what is a basilisk in other mythological forms (how else is it depicted)? don't know, but I'll try an educated guess: a flightless bird

[durinsbane2244]

halfway, if no one gets it within a few day, you go, unless you mean you don't know what I mean, uh, ok, in harry potter, a basilisk is a giant snake, what else has been called a basilisk in mythology?

[durinsbane2244]

alright, you can go milano dude, you were close, it is a flightless bird and it has reptilian feet and when pertified you turn to stone.

so, you go. . .

[The Wizard from Milan]

Who sent the howler to Petunia? (the only howler that is explicitly mentioned in the books)

[tolkienfan]

Dumbledore?

[The Wizard from Milan]

Dumbledore?
Yes, your turn

[tolkienfan]

Who gave Hagrid the flying motorcycle?

[Radagast The Brown]

Sirius Black

[tolkienfan]

Right.

[Radagast The Brown]

Who resigned in protest of making Umbridge the Hogwarts High Inquisitor?

[The Wizard from Milan]

Who resigned in protest of making Umbridge the Hogwarts High Inquisitor?
Griselda Marchbank resigend from the Wizengamot

[Radagast The Brown]

And another wizard... you have only half the correct answer there.

[Spock]

Who resigned in protest of making Umbridge the Hogwarts High Inquisitor?

Well Dumbledore was against the formation of the post so I'll guess him? :confused:

[Radagast The Brown]

No...

[The Wizard from Milan]

And another wizard... you have only half the correct answer there.
And Tiberius Ogden?

[Radagast The Brown]

Yes! :) Your turn.

[The Wizard from Milan]

What is the shape of Dumbledore's scar?

[Spock]

a rombus :D

[The Wizard from Milan]

a rombus :D
Is that a joke :confused:
Anyway, nope

[Radagast The Brown]

London's subway, IIRC.

[The Wizard from Milan]

London's subway, IIRC.
Correct!
Well, it says "London underground" and it is still unclear whether he meant the Tube or secret passages, but I consider the answer correct.
You go.

[Spock]

Is that a joke :confused:
Anyway, nope


Geeze Louise, of course...haven't you figured out that some of us have a sense of humor :(

[The Wizard from Milan]

Geeze Louise, of course...haven't you figured out that some of us have a sense of humor :(
Sorry, the language barrier spoiled it. I don't know what a rombus is, and neither my dictionary, nor the on-line MSN Encarta say what a rombus is

[durinsbane2244]

a rhombus is a four sided figure with equal sides but no parralel sides, I THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! (it summer, what can i say?, for those of us still in skool . . .)

[The Wizard from Milan]

[durinsbane2244]

so, whos goin?

anyone?

[Radagast The Brown]

ahhhh, me.

How many letters did Harry get after his illegal Patronus spell (5th year)?

[Spock]

..I've no clue but it's a great question R. :)

[durinsbane2244]

3 or 4?

[Radagast The Brown]

Neither.

[The Wizard from Milan]

Tricky question: he got
1. one from the MoM saying that he would be expelled and his wand would be destroyed
2. one from Arthur Weasley telling him Dumbledore was taking care of it and not to make more magic
3. one again from the MoM saying that the whole thing was suspended until the hearing
So far I am at 3 like durinsbane2244, so I will guess 6, just to say something different

[durinsbane2244]

5 then

[Minielin]

Would "after his illegal Patronus spell" be literally... all letters after his Patronus spell? In which case, every letter he got fifth year would have to be counted. Which I'm too lazy to do, but in theory... ;)

[The Wizard from Milan]

Oh, you gave me an idea! The answer is 0 because Harry never performed any illegal patronus spell

4. Didn't he get one from Sirius?

[durinsbane2244]

ooooooooooooo, if thats right, you evil evil person!!!!!! (that was quite good :D )

[Radagast The Brown]

Fine, fine... :p I know there are problems with the question, but I put 'illegal' only to make it clearer, and I thought it's obvious I'm not talking about every letter he got after the spell as we don't have that information anyway; and I was wrong myself counting the letter for Petunia. Therefore the answer is 4... which goes to durinsbane, I think.

[durinsbane2244]

ok, but i first said 3 or 4 and you said neither, why?
:confused:

[Radagast The Brown]

ok, but i first said 3 or 4 and you said neither, why?
:confused:I think I said it above... in the post before yours.. do you want me to repeat by embarrassing speach? :p

[durinsbane2244]

alrighty then, what is the name of dumbledore's brother?

[Spock]

..I think it was Al ....but once again I'm trying this when I'm beat and not able to sleep.

[durinsbane2244]

nope, but the first letter's right!

[The Wizard from Milan]

alrighty then, what is the name of dumbledore's brother?
Aberforth

[durinsbane2244]

correct, go ahead.

[The Wizard from Milan]

Who sat next to Winkie in the top box of the Quiddich World cup?

[Nurvingiel]

answer is a Book 5 spoiler...











Bartemius Crouch (Jr.)

(If this is right, but I forget to ask another question in a timely fashion, then you can appoint someone TWFM. I'm a bit bad at forgetting I started playing these various games. :) )

[The Wizard from Milan]

Right you are, Nurv.

But I can't appoint anybody else, because I am going away for 4 days and I don't know if I'll have access.

Ciaooooooooooooooooo

[Nurvingiel]

Yay I'm right. :) And I didn't forget to come back and ask a question! :D

In what department of the Ministry of Magic does Arthur Weasley work?

[durinsbane2244]

the abuse of muggle artifacts department?(please remember to check, please remember to check)

[Nurvingiel]

lol :D

Actually, it's the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts department, but close enough. ;)

Your go Durinsbane# :)

[durinsbane2244]

well, they do rhyme, sorta. . . .

why couldnt harry use the cruciatus curse on belatrix lestrange(why didnt it work that is)?

[Spock]

...no clue......

[durinsbane2244]

really? she comes right out and says it. . . .(hint: in the ministry scene at the end of 5)

[Radagast The Brown]

Becuase .. you need to really want to cause pain, IIRC.

[durinsbane2244]

so painfully and miserably close, you can have it. you have to not only want to cause pain, but enjoy it for the sake of causing pain, thats why harry's "righteous anger" didn't work. go ahead rad.

[Spock]

OK, RTB, we await your input. :D

[durinsbane2244]

quite so. . . .

[durinsbane2244]

well, no one's here, ho hum, it just hit me, there have only been a few of us that are in this thread reguraly, me, spock, and at one point last child of the ungoliant, by the way, has anyone seen LCoU lately?

[durinsbane2244]

ah yes, and radagast o' course! :D

[The Wizard from Milan]

I think that most of the people who would be here are either reading HBP or discussing HBP on other boards :p

[Spock]

did you PM RTB? and I've not seen LCOU for a while either. :-(

[durinsbane2244]

well, if it goes another day, im gonna give another question. . .with of course spocks permission, moderator thingy guy that he is. . .

[Spock]

go ahead, I PM'd RTB but he hasn't replied.

[durinsbane2244]

what is the name of buckbeak's executioner?

[The Wizard from Milan]

what is the name of buckbeak's executioner?
McNair, later revealed to a Death Eater

[durinsbane2244]

tell me if you got that from the book,cause i havent read it for a while and i think t was someone else, but i would be happy to be proven wrong.

[Spock]

..you know buckbeak wasn't executed.....so the question is questionable.....and I don't remember the executioners name either :(

[durinsbane2244]

haha, through the trickery, though i dont no if you meant it as an answer, you go spock.

[Spock]

..hmmmm, I'll have to think a bit on this.....

[The Wizard from Milan]

haha, through the trickery, though i dont no if you meant it as an answer, you go spock.
<_<

[durinsbane2244]

[The Wizard from Milan]

I was not questioning your decision :)
I was only trying to manually draw the emoticon in which the little face narrow its eyes and looks at you from the corner of the eyes themselves
;)

[Spock]

[Spock]

What allows Harry to see people moving closer to him? not the MM.

[durinsbane2244]

YAY!! uh, what spell does ron use that fails to make malfoy vomit slugs?(the incantation)

[The Wizard from Milan]

[durinsbane2244]

yes, indeed!

[The Wizard from Milan]

[Spock]

hmmmm, nobody seems to be reading.........................try this

what are the three forms of money in the wizarding world and what metals are they made of.?

Of course if anyone is really paying attention there has been another question floating about for over 3 days now.

Try one of them. :confused:

[Master'sBaneSwiftSnowmane]

In reponse to the money question: Knuts are bronze. Sickles are silver. Galleons are gold.

As far as the hat tipping question goes Diggle bowed to Harry a couple of times. Doris Crockford kept coming back to shake Harry's hand but I remember no hat tipping. Please pm and tell me where to look in the book because it's bugging me now.

[Spock]

In reponse to the money question: Knuts are bronze. Sickles are silver. Galleons are gold.[QUOTE]

THAT qualifies as a bonified, 100%, totally accurate, and correct answer. :D

You choose the next question.

As for the rest. [QUOTE=Master'sBaneSwiftSnowmane]As far as the hat tipping question goes Diggle bowed to Harry a couple of times. Doris Crockford kept coming back to shake Harry's hand but I remember no hat tipping. Please pm and tell me where to look in the book because it's bugging me now.
You'll have to get the poster to answer you-eventually best by PM and that is http://entmoot.tolkientrail.com/member.php?u=3218

[durinsbane2244]

so, yeah, what's goin on round here?

[Spock]

Six days and he hasn't posted a question so I'll try another quick one.

What's the name of Ron's favorite Quiddich team?

[PippinTook]

The Chudley Cannons.

Do I ask another question? Pretty darn sure I got that one right. Well, here's one: In HBP, what is the name of Ginny's pygmy puff??

[Spock]

The Chudley Cannons.

Do I ask another question? Pretty darn sure I got that one right. Well, here's one: In HBP, what is the name of Ginny's pygmy puff??


YOU are supposed to wait until the original poster of the question verifies your answer.

that being said, you are correct.

[Master'sBaneSwiftSnowmane]

It's Arnold. Sorry about the long absence. I hope I can still have the next question because I have a pretty good one.

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

Do you have to wait for verification if you are 100% sure of the answer?

[durinsbane2244]

This Thread Must Not Die!!!! Someone Give A Question!!!!!

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

What is the name of Hagrids half brother?

[durinsbane2244]

grawp!

[Master'sBaneSwiftSnowmane]

Oh, come on! I'm gone a day and you guys freak? Sorry. I'm going to ask a question and if you don't think that I should have it, then just ignore me.

What book did Harry get Hedwig's name from?


I think that people should have to wait for conformation before posting a question, because only fools are postive.

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

"A History of Magic"? or something...

[Spock]

Do you have to wait for verification if you are 100% sure of the answer?


Yes.
The original poster must confirm back and then tell you to post a new question.

[Master'sBaneSwiftSnowmane]

BAH! I thought that it might be tricky...there I go thinking again. Yes, you are correct Witch-King of Angmar.

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

:D ok, What is the name of the sweets (Weasley's Wizard Wheezes) that made Dudley's tounge swell up?

[durinsbane2244]

two-ton tongue toffees

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

Its actually Ton-Tongue Toffees, but close enough...

[durinsbane2244]

thanks, i though that was bit off, why was the manticore in a past trial spared its life?

[tomstheman]

The executioners were to scared to get near it. So the let it off.

[durinsbane2244]

true, true, go ahead, mr. bombadil! [bad joke, i know]

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

I like Tom Bombadil, think of it as a compliment :D

[Spock]

So can we get a NEW question here? :(

[tomstheman]

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

[Spock]

...ratz, I can't remember....:(

[The Wizard from Milan]

Sorry guys. 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)


Technical note: I'll be able to check the site regularly now, sorry for the previous mishap

[durinsbane2244]

wow, i know there was a spell, but never understood him! he was really gonna kill harry?!?! RIGHT IN FRONT OF DD?!?!

[Spock]

..I find that hard to believe . Now to locate a copy of the movie....errr book.

[tolkienfan]

I know! I think there was a thread about it somewhere around here.

[tomstheman]

Good Job TWFM. In the book Lucius lunges at Harry and Dobby saves him. In the movie he pulls the wand out of the top of his cane and starts to do the avada kedavera(sp). Your turn.

[The Wizard from Milan]

For what reason was Neville awarded 5 points in PS/SS?

[tomstheman]

He was rewarded for standing up to his friends and trying to keep them from sneaking out.

[The Wizard from Milan]

He was rewarded for standing up to his friends and trying to keep them from sneaking out.
Correct! You go.

[tomstheman]

What sound does Mr. Weasley make when he aparates into the burrow after picking Harry up from the Dursleys in TGOF?

[The Wizard from Milan]

My goodness, that is a difficult question. I will guess: a faint pop

[tomstheman]

I am impressed. Good guess it is your turn.

[The Wizard from Milan]

I am impressed. Good guess it is your turn.
Well, we know that they all pop; there is a theory that says that the louder you pop the more inexperienced or the less powerful you are. DD and Voldy hardly make any pop at all.

Question: what was thought to be the evidence of Pettigrew's death (as of the beginning of PoA)?

[Lord Choc Obo]

they found a finger lying in all the mess Black made when killing him and a dozen bystanders (said in PoA)???

[The Wizard from Milan]

they found a finger lying in all the mess Black made when killing him and a dozen bystanders (said in PoA)???
Correct. You go

[tomstheman]

That makes sense that the more inexperienced you are the louder you pop. That would explain why Fred George and Percy all make cracks when they apparate. Sorry back to the question.

[durinsbane2244]

they found nothing but a finger?

[curses, beaten to it again!]

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

That makes sense that the more inexperienced you are the louder you pop. That would explain why Fred George and Percy all make cracks when they apparate. Sorry back to the question.

What does that have to do with Pettigrew?

[Lord Choc Obo]

I'm at work right now, well not really since I'm here, but still, I'm at the office (student job) so I don't have the books nearby to make up a good question :(

I'll try though, I won't be able to say whether it's right or wrong untill I get home.

what colour of sparks do persons that are in danger in the labyrinth in GoF have to shoot off?

[The Wizard from Milan]

what colour of sparks do persons that are in danger in the labyrinth in GoF have to shoot off?
If I remember well two colors were mentioned. I'll try one of them: green

[tomstheman]

It doesn't have to do with pettigrew it has to do with the sound that Arthur makes when he aparates as opposed to the sound that Fred and George make. WHich is why i labled it Digression.

[durinsbane2244]

red maybe

[Lord Choc Obo]

red maybe
indeed, correct you are :-D you go

[durinsbane2244]

huzzah! er, what does the postcard from marge say in the first book?

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

I think uncle Vernon said "Marge is ill, ate a funny whelk"

Whatever a whelk is...

[durinsbane2244]

ok, acceptable, i'll take it! you go!

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

In HBP, what initials are signed on the note to Voldemort, informing him of his missing Horcrux? (The note Harry and Dumbledore find in place of the Horcrux)

[The Wizard from Milan]

R.A.B.

[durinsbane2244]

yes, well, that's it than

[The Wizard from Milan]

I think that as per rules I have to wait the The Witch-King of Angmar to confirm it, haven't I?

[Spock]

That's correct. You normally allow two days for the original poster to reply.

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

Yer thats right, your turn... (btw who do you think it is? :confused: )

[The Wizard from Milan]

(btw who do you think it is? :confused: ) There is a thread on this board. I did not contribute to it, but I agree with the first poster's guess (which I don't repeat in order to avoid spoilers).


Question: what did Lord Voldemort learn from Bertha Jorkins?

[Spock]

hmmm, how to make home made rice pudding without burning. :D

[The Wizard from Milan]

hmmm, how to make home made rice pudding without burning. :D
He probably learnt that too, but I was looking for something in canon ;)

[tomstheman]

He learned that Barty Crouch smuggled his son out of Azkaban, and had him concealed at home.

[The Wizard from Milan]

He learned that Barty Crouch smuggled his son out of Azkaban, and had him concealed at home.
Correct! You go

[tomstheman]

What is Dumbledore's whole name?

[durinsbane2244]

[tomstheman]

[durinsbane2244]
