Harry Potter Triva thread

[Radagast The Brown]

About Vingardium Leviossa, then. (sp. - It's from memory, and I didn't read the first in English so...)

[Count Comfect]

Just to help on spelling, Wingardium Leviosa (in the English version at least). :)

Sorry, I'm a pedant.

[Orli17]

si oui yes ok ur answer is correct!!!
ur turn Rasagst!!!

[Radagast The Brown]

What did Ron and Harry gave Crabbe and Goyle, so that they would fall asleep and then Harry and Ron could take a hair from each to the polyjuice potion?

[sirigorn]

Pastries filled with sleeping solution.

[Orli17]

chocolate cupcakes filled with simple Sleeping Draughts?
basically same answer as sirigorn....

[Radagast The Brown]

What's pastries? :rolleyes: ehmm... if it means choclate cakes, you're correct.

[Lalaith_Elf]

Pastries arn't the same as cake. Pastry is used for stuff like vol-au-vants (bad spelling I know) and other stuff like that. Totally different to cake.

Sorry - just thought I'd point that out....

[sirigorn]

Oh, I didn't remember exactly what kind of food it was in, so I just said pastries. It's up to you whether Orli or I get it, Radagast.

[Orli17]

dusn matter who gets it.....so uh Radagast...who's supposed to ask the question now???:)

[Radagast The Brown]

I think that Orli, if you don't mind. :)

Thanks Lalaith Elf.

[sirigorn]

Okay, then Orli. Your turn!!

[Orli17]

ok then ^_^
ok this is sort of a two in one question.

1)When does Harry first hear about Rita Skeeter?
2)When does he actually first meet her?

hope its ok by asking those two.:)

[Radagast The Brown]

He first hear of her when he and the Weisley's (sp.) come back from the Quiditch world championship, and first meet her in the wands weighting. (if you don't understand something...tell me, I'm not sure, I haven't read it in English)

[Lalaith_Elf]

That's pretty clear to me. I had a total mind-block on this one.....

EDIT: This isn't relevant but I thought I'd share it since RTB mentioned not reading HP in English - I have it in Latin.:D

[Radagast The Brown]

[Lalaith_Elf]

I just felt like saying I had it in Latin... actually I forgot I had it, you just reminded me, and I'm in a wierd mood tonight so I just feel like sharing stuff.:p :evil:

[Radagast The Brown]

Originally posted by Lalaith_Elf

Everyone has their weird moments... :p

[Lalaith_Elf]

My wierd moments appear alot.
No I haven't read it in latin, unfortuanatly. I don't actually know how to read latin. Although I am learning, slowly but surely!:)

[sirigorn]

I have it in Dutch!! Well, I have OotP in Dutch and my sister has SS/PS, CoS and PoA in Dutch. And before you ask, no I haven't read it in Dutch. I've tried, but I can barely even speak Dutch, and that's how I normally use it!!

And just to be on topic... Orli, I'm pretty sure Radagast was right, but you have to confirm it first. Was he?

[Orli17]

hey! yes Radagast was right...i'm sorry i couldn't confirm earlier..was a tad bit busy....:D

[sun-star]

Originally posted by Lalaith_Elf

I've got it in Latin too but I haven't got past the first sentence yet :D Interesting to translations if you can - I've read the German as well as English and it's helpful.

:o sorry, back on topic :o

[Lalaith_Elf]

Yeah, back on topic....:o

Um, it's Radagast's turn right?

[Radagast The Brown]

Yes, it is.

When Harry was at Knockturn Alley (2nd year) and saw Draco Malfoy in the store, Draco paused for a few moments to examine an object. What was it?

[Arcala]

Was it...the Hand of Glory or something along those lines?

[sirigorn]

I think Arcala waas right, but just venturing a guess. Was it the cabinet thing Harry was hiding in?

[Orli17]

a severed hand? .....

[Radagast The Brown]

Yes, to Arcala. (I was actually looking to something else, but...)

[Arcala]

Yay! I got it right! What was it you were looking for, Radagast?

My question is: What did Cho want the D.A. to stand for? (This is in the fifth book.)

[Elf Girl]

Defense Association.

[sirigorn]

The Defense Association? Something along those lines...

~Siri~

[Arcala]

Elf Girl, you're right. So are you Sirigorn, but EG got there first. Sorry!

[Elf Girl]

Which magical creature is found both in North America and the far East?

[Estel13]

Dragons.

Name 4 Quidditch fouls.

[Elf Girl]

Dragons is incorrect. This is why you're supposed to wait to see if you're right before asking a question.

[Lalaith_Elf]

A Re'em???

[Eowyn, Lady of Rohan]

According to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them that's correct, Lal, but I'll wait for Elf girl's say.

[Orli17]

that's what i thought...about asking AFTER confirmation...however hehehe i dunno the answer to this question so i'll humbly wait for the next one aye?
cheers!:D

[Elf Girl]

Yep, Lai_E, Re'em is correct.

[Lalaith_Elf]

Which Uncle had left Sirius money, enabling him to buy a house of his own when he was 17?

[Elf Girl]

Alphard.

[Lalaith_Elf]

Correct Elf Girl.:)

[Elf Girl]

Name a Greek wizard.

[Lalaith_Elf]

Wild guess here.... Agrippa?

[Elf Girl]

Not that I know of, no.

Edit: I only know of one, but if someone mentions another and has evidence, of course I'll accept that.

[Arcala]

Was Ptolemy(sp?) one?

[Orli17]

i think ptolemy is correct. anyhoo, waiting for EG to confirm...ahh...i missed all this....weird.....

[Elf Girl]

Yep.

[Arcala]

Ok, so what shop did Cho take Harry to on Valentine's Day during a Hogsmeade trip?

[Elf Girl]

Madam Puddifoot's.

[Arcala]

Yeah, that's right! Your go.

[Elf Girl]

What year was the right of a wizard to carry a wand at all times established?

[Estel13]

Originally posted by Elf Girl

Sorry.:o I thought I was right.

Was it 1647?

[Elf Girl]

No.

[Elf Girl]

You guys want a hint?

[Radagast The Brown]

I didn't really understand the question... just shows how good my English is. :rolleyes: :o

[Elf Girl]

Rephrasing the question (and I think your English is quite good, by the way): The Intarnational Confederation of Wizards made a law saying every wizard could carry a wand at all times. What year did they make this law?

[sirigorn]

Yes, Elf Girl, I do want a hint. This is tough!!

[sun-star]

1692.

[Elf Girl]

Yep.

[sun-star]

In which European country did Stichstock originate?

[sirigorn]

Just a guess, but anyway...

Britain?

[sun-star]

No...

[Lalaith_Elf]

Germany?

[Orli17]

Scotland? or wait is it Ireland?
ahh i have never seen these thiniges before.....are they from like the quidditch and monser books? i dun have those books..boohooo....

[sun-star]

Germany is right.

They're from the Quidditch through the Ages book, sorry Orli! :)

[Lalaith_Elf]

Which Quidditch team is the most successful in the history of the British and Irish League, and has won 32 times?

[sun-star]

I don't know, but I'm guessing it isn't the Chudley Cannons - "Let's all just keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best" I love that motto :D

[Lalaith_Elf]

Nope. They've only won 21 times!

[Orli17]

hmm....Wimbourne Wasps? i'm not too sure.....

[Lalaith_Elf]

No

[Elf Girl]

Montrose Magpies.

[Lalaith_Elf]

Yep. My favorite Quidditch Team! Go Magpies!!!:)

Your turn Elf Girl.

[Elf Girl]

What's Ron's middle name?

[sun-star]

Bilius, isn't it? Poor kid :D

[Elf Girl]

Yep.

[sun-star]

What song does Uncle Vernon sing when he's hammering up the windows and doors in 'Philosopher's Stone'?

[Lalaith_Elf]

I'm gonna lock that wizard right into my house.....

No?

Well it must be 'Tiptoe through the Tulips':)

Is it?

[sun-star]

Yes, though I like your alternative too :)

[Lalaith_Elf]

:D Thanks - just popped into my head!:p

Which Quidditch team held the Montrose Magpies to a draw in 1986, astonishing most of the Quidditch playing world?

[Elf Girl]

Patonga Proudsticks.

[Lalaith_Elf]

Yep. And here's me thinking that it was going to be hard to guess!:rolleyes:

[Elf Girl]

What year was Muggle Who Notice published?

[sun-star]

1972 (Incidentally, isn't Blenheim Stalk - the author of the book - a great name?:D)

[Elf Girl]

Yes.

[Radagast The Brown]

Originally posted by sun-star

[Elf Girl]

I assume she simply Googled it.

[Radagast The Brown]

Originally posted by Elf Girl

[sun-star]

I looked it up in the book. Sorry Radagast, but I think if you're waiting for someone to remember those kinds of dates you'll have to wait a long time :)

I'll ask a question someone can get from memory:

Which Quidditch team does Dumbeldore support?

[Elvengirl]

He's not really allowed to support any but I'd say Griffindor cause of Harry... (wild guess)

[sun-star]

Sorry, I meant professional team - though you're probably right about Gryffindor!

[Elvengirl]

Oh ok, in that case I have no idea :D

[Lalaith_Elf]

Puddlemere United?

[sun-star]

Yep :)

[Lalaith_Elf]

Easy one coming up:

What number degree stated that: "All student organisations, societies, teams, groups and clubs are henceforth disbanded"?

[Autumn]

24

[Lalaith_Elf]

Yep

[Autumn]

Where did Hermione find Scabbers after hagrid lost the appeal?

[Orli17]

in a broken jug inside a cupboard underneath hagrid's sink?
i'm not too sure....

[Lalaith_Elf]

Wasn't she getting a jug of milk (or for milk) from the cupboard, when she found scabbers - then she broke the jug?

[Autumn]

Well she didn't brake the jug but thats about right.

[Lalaith_Elf]

Orli, your turn.;)

[Orli17]

now i remember! hagrid broke a jug so hermione went to get another one or was it that hagrid went out to dunk his head in teh barrel outside and hermione was putting the jug back? anyhoo my turn!!!

um...let me think of a question....ahhh......

[Orli17]

this might be tough...hmmm

What color robes was the boy, who opened the Beauxbatons carriage door for Madame Maxime in GOF, wearing? (it was at the arrival of Beauxbatons....)

:D

[Lalaith_Elf]

Blue wasn't it? Light blue?:confused:

[Orli17]

righto....ur turn!!!!

[Lalaith_Elf]

What is the gathering or council of wizards at the Ministry called?

[Orli17]

The Wizengamot? or sthg like that? spelling wrong..sorry ^_^

[Lalaith_Elf]

Yes.

[Orli17]

hmmm....i'm thinking of a question...hang on.....

[Orli17]

What hairdo was Tonks sporting when she and Lupin were escorting the kids back to Hogwarts after Christmas at # 12 Grimmauld Place?

[Lalaith_Elf]

EDIT - nevermind

[Orli17]

huh? edit what? i'm confused lalaith.....

[Eowyn, Lady of Rohan]

Red, same as Ginny's?

[Orli17]

good try but no cigar...

[Lalaith_Elf]

Pink?

[Orli17]

nope...
i know ur gonna want to kill me but i forgot to add that if possible plz include the hair STYLE as well and not just the color....ok ....:)

[Lalaith_Elf]

:rolleyes: Pink and short?

[Orli17]

nuh uh....keep trying...:)

[Radagast The Brown]

But is it pink? Why should we still guess the hair colour if Lalaith Elf got it right?

[Elf Girl]

It's not pink. There have been no correct guessed, according to Orli17.

[sirigorn]

Let's see... purple and spiky? Just a guess, I'm too lazy to look for my book and look it up...

[Arcala]

Er...was it "iron-gray hair"? I couldn't find the style...

[Orli17]

i guess i wasnt very clear. No it isn't Pink....i'll just settle for the color (no need for the style...i just realized that it dusn mention it) .....so keep guessing!!;)

[Orli17]

YAAAY! ARCALA got it right.....:D ok ur turn!

[Arcala]

In St. Mungo's, what did one portrait tell Ron he had a case(disease) of?

[Elf Girl]

Spattergroit. (Incidentally, medieval Europeans did indeed think freckles were a disease by this name.)

[Arcala]

Really? That's interesting. :D

Your turn, Elf Girl.

[Elf Girl]

Tell me something that Uric the Oddball did.

[Arcala]

Was he the leader of a goblin revolt?

[Elf Girl]

I don't believe so.

[Fimbrethil]

He didn't do anything did he? Ron made him up becasue he couldn't remember all the goblins, I think.

[sirigorn]

No, he was real. He was a medival wizard who wore a jellyfish for a hat.

[Fimbrethil]

Really! He didn't did he? What book was that in?

[Orli17]

That's interesting....i've never heard o that b4.....uric the oddball was real?? hmmm...i can't remember where i read about that...anyways all waiting for Elf Girl :D

[sirigorn]

I have no idea which book that was in, but I know of a wonderful thing called the Harry Potter Lexicon that has every single person mentioned in the books and out of them, on chocalate frog cards, etc. It also has stuff about places and has timelines and I can't begin to explain how wonderful and helpful it is. This is where it's at: http://www.hp-lexicon.org/

[Orli17]

ok thanksssiesss.....i'll go check that site out rite now!!:D

[Eowyn, Lady of Rohan]

One thing Uric the Oddball did was spend time in a room with a lot of singing Fwoopers and he went crazy.

[Orli17]

hi where is everyone? is elf girl coming back to confirm with anyone's right answer??? i think we should move on if no one's gonna do anythg.....just a thought....^_^

[Eowyn, Lady of Rohan]

Originally posted by Orli17

I'm fairly sure I'm right (but not positive) because It says so in the Fantastic beasts and Where to Find them book. But Let's wait for elf girl.

[Orli17]

well i dunno WHAT to say....hmmmm:confused:

[Elf Girl]

:o Guys I'm SO sorry... I was whisked away to the grandmother's house for a week... forgive me...

Sirigorn was correct, despite the fact that I highly dislike people using Internet sources to find answers. Really, people. Part of the sport is having to know where in the books to look.

[Orli17]

i hate that too....also actually i thought this was based more on what you know rather than how well you can look up a book...anyhoo..not complaning :D

[sirigorn]

Yeah, I normally hate it also but no one was answering and I had no idea where to look for it, so I just looked at where I did know where to find it. Sorry about that.

Now, I hope no one will have to do what I did for this one, because it's really easy:
Name all the Gryffindors we know of in Harry's year.

[Orli17]

Boys: Dean Thomas, Neville Longbottom, Seamus Finnnigan, Ron Weasley

Girls: Lavendar Brown, Parvati Patil, Hermione Granger

hmm...i think i mighta left someone...you read about em so often that you forget who's in which class!!!:D

[sirigorn]

You did leave someone out... look through the boys. It's really obvious!! I dunno how you missed him...

[sun-star]

Harry Potter :D

But I think Orli was close enough :)

[sirigorn]

I really was hoping that Orli would be next to post, because she almost had it, but if you think she should go next, I say go for it!!

[sun-star]

Oops, sorry :o Go ahead, Orli.

[Orli17]

it's alright Sun Star....:cool:

yea i knew i missed someone but for some reason i was thinking that i didn't need to put harry's name. i wasn't even gonna put hermione or ron until i realized how stupid i was....hahaha ...lol

ok my turn then....

What two Auror-qualification tests did Tonks mention(OOTP) and what three other elements that is required of Aurors, did McGonagall mention ?
:D cheers!!

[Elf Girl]

Tonks- Concealment and Disguise; Stealth and Tracking.

McGonagall mentioned an awful lot, so I'll hazard a guess at what you're looking for- Good at DADA, Transfiguration, and Potions?

[Orli17]

ok i know this is a bit demanding but that wasn't all that McGonagall said. she said that aurors also had to have a <blank> personality and be able to take <blank> and a bit more.....but you got the Tonks part right Elf Girl!!!

Yea so if you could..just give me all that McGonagall said......

cheers!:D

[Elf Girl]

*shrug* Sure. You can see how it would be hard to discern which three things you want.

She said they'd need to react well to pressure, have perseverance & dedication, be good at practical defence.

[Orli17]

ok ur turn elf girl :D

[Elf Girl]

What year was Professor Mordicus Egg's book published in?

[Orli17]

ok NOW that's a hard question....cuz i wont know it unless i look it up...anyways....hahaha....hmm just a crazy guesss.....1897??

just a stab at it....:p

[Elf Girl]

Nah.

[Orli17]

hahaha...that was a wild guess...ok well i'm stumped so i'll just wait for others to answer....:p

[Elf Girl]

Do you guys want a hint?

[Radagast The Brown]

I guess. There's no way I'm going to answer this without one.

[Orli17]

not many even come to this thread anymore...grr...yes hint plz....

[Elf Girl]

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

[Orli17]

ok..well living where i live, yangon myanmar...i dun have that book and couldn't fidn it in bkk so i guess i can't answer this question....

[The Ben]

hmm... how about this question?

What is Nearly Headless Nick's real full name?

[Count Comfect]

Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington?

[Orli17]

not my place to say nor really relevant...but can anyone spot the mistake in this thread? Look at every single thing...including the name of the thread and all that.

jsut realized it....:)

[sirigorn]

What that "trivia" is spelled "Triva"? Yeah, I knew that for a long time.

The Ben, is the Count right?

[Orli17]

ah ..yea i just realized it....ha....:)

[Elf Girl]

People? It doesn't MATTER if Count Comfect was correct, because The Ben's question was not valid, because it was not his turn, because no one had answered my question yet.

[sirigorn]

I'm so sorry, Elf Girl. I hadn't noticed that no one answered, I just figured that The Ben answered a question right.

Is the answer... 1726?? Once agian, just a guess. I can't find my copy of FB.
Can you tell us if we're close?

[Elf Girl]

No. Think more recent.

(Never assume The Ben does anything right- check out his title.)

[Fimbrethil]

I'm goning to go out on a limb and geuss 2002. I know...you may yell at me for my smart tail answer...it was fun though/

[sirigorn]

Ummm... 1950? A lot more recent then I said before.

[ethuiliel]

1927? I don't know, I'm just throwing something out, and hoping I'm lucky. Doubt it, though.

[Elf Girl]

No, no, and no.

[Fimbrethil]

1842? Hehe....less recent or more recent and were any of us close with what we said before?

[Elf Girl]

No. You want to go more recent. The closest so far is sirigorn at 1950.

[sirigorn]

1976?

[Elf Girl]

Nope. Not so recent as that.

[ethuiliel]

1955?

[Fimbrethil]

1960?

[sirigorn]

1965?

[eowyngirl14]

okay there have been mor thatn 3 guesses, time for a new question isnt it?

[sirigorn]

There've been a lot more then 3 guesses, and we're so close I want to get it!! If Elf Girl says it's time for a new question, she can do that. Otherwise, we keep guessing!!

[Elf Girl]

Since when do we start over after three guesses?

1960 and 1965 are SO CLOSE.

[Radagast The Brown]

1962?

[Elf Girl]

CLOSE. CLOSE CLOSE CLOSE.

...but not right.

[eowyngirl14]

1963

wasnt three gueses a rule at one point??
mabye im thinking of something else.

[Elf Girl]

Yes, it was 1963.

In the first post it certainly doesn't say three guesses... but I haven't been around for the whole thread, so a consensus may have been reached without me around.

Eowyngirl14, it' your turn.

[eowyngirl14]

okay i was going to ask one of hte questions they asked ppl competing for a HP internship on TRL today, ("What was the liscense plate number on the car that Fred and George drove to rescue HArry") but i dont know the answer...

okay umm a questionwhens hermiones b-day?

[sirigorn]

It's close to mine, Sept 14.

Is it the 19th?

[eowyngirl14]

yup, lol

u win, ur turn

[sirigorn]

Lesse...

Name 4 of the following: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Remus's middle names. They are not in the books, but JKR said them in a webchat.

[eowyngirl14]

i have no freakin idea! thats a hard one!

i think i just got ur sig, 'i wear black for Black' black like Serius Black? wow im just so smart...

;) :D :)

[sirigorn]

LOL, yes. It's spelled Sirius, actually...

Okay, I'll make it easier. You just need 3 of them. Surf the net. You'll find it.

[Elf Girl]

Harry- James
Ron- Bilius
Hermione- Jane
Ginny- Molly

*is proud of self for not having to look any of them up*

[eowyngirl14]

*thinks it would be really funny if ElfGirl got them all wrong*

:D :) :p

[sirigorn]

No, she's right. Remus's is John. And did you know that Ginny's full name isn't Virginia, it's Ginerva? Sounds too much like Minevra to me...

Well, your turn.

[eowyngirl14]

haha Ginerva, what a silly name!
:D

[Elf Girl]

What kind of candy has a motto that reads as follows: 'Breath fire for your friends!'?

[sirigorn]

Acid pops? Noo... Pepper Imps? I don't know...

[Elf Girl]

Indeed, it was Peppr Imps. Wow, first guesser.

[sirigorn]

Okay... name the 10 dragon breeds mentioned in Fantastic Beasts.

~Siri~

[Elf Girl]

Antipodean Opaleye, Chinese Fireball, Common Welsh Green, Hebridean Black, Hungarian Horntail, Norwegian Ridgeback, Peruvian Vipertooth, Romanian Longhorn, Swedish Short-Snout, and Ukrainian Ironbelly.

[sirigorn]

Yep. Your go.

[Elf Girl]

What book can tell you how to do the jinx 'instant scalping'?

[Fimbrethil]

What do you mean by which book? 1 through 5 or a book they have mentioned in books 1 through 5?

[Elf Girl]

What book, like, in the wizarding world. Books like Hogwarts: A History or Standard Book of Spells, Grade 2. (Not that the answer is either of these books.)

[Orli17]

Basic Hexes for the Busy and Vexed:D

[Elf Girl]

Yes.

[Orli17]

What pattern socks did dobby give to Harry for christmas?:)

[Radagast The Brown]

Green with broomsticks and Red with snitches (sp., haven't read Harry Potter in English)?

[Elf Girl]

I'm pretty sure Rad is right, so if Orli doesn't show up I think it's your turn.

[Radagast The Brown]

Ok. :)

What was the name of the hotel, where the Dursley's and Harry slept, in the first year when Mr. Dursley was trying to escape the letters from Hogwarts?

[parker1cincy]

was it the Railview Hotel? I think that's it.

[Elf Girl]

. . .Rad? Is that right?

[old scholar]

yup it is Railview Hotel room 17

[Elf Girl]

Since Rad seems to have disappeared, and we know that's the right answere, it's parker1cincy's turn.

[Orli17]

hey sorry i didnt reply earlier...yes radagast was right but i guess it's too late now......

[Elf Girl]

...parker1cincy? It's your turn! Where are you?

[Arcala]

Could somebody just post a question? Sorry for the impatience, but this thread has been ON HOLD since 6/08/04.

[Radagast The Brown]

Who found Colin pertified, and why was he awake in the middle of the night?

[Elf Girl]

McGonagall, he was coming to visit Harry. (And give him grapes.)

[Radagast The Brown]

Actually, the 'he' was for the person who found him; it wasn't McGonagall.

[Elf Girl]

'Another attack,' said Dumbledore. 'Minerva found him on the stairs.'
'There was a bunch of grapes next to him,' said Professor McGonagall. 'We think he was trying to neak up here to visit Potter.'
Harry's stomach gave a horrible lurch. Slowly and carefully, he raised himself a few inches so he could look at the statue on the bed. A ray of moonlight lay across its staring face.
It was Colin Creevey....

That's from CoS. It sure looks like it was McGonagall to me, and I don't think it says why she was up.

[Elf Girl]

Perhaps you were referring to how Harry found Justin Finch-Fletchley and Nearly Headless Nick. It wasn't night, though, so I can't answer the rest of the question.

[Radagast The Brown]

Heh, I didn't read that - I read, a couple of lines later, where McGonagall says:

'Petrified?' whispered Madam Pomfrey.
'Yes', said Professor McGonagall. 'But I shudder to think... If Albus hadn't been on the way downstairs for hot chocolate, who knows what might happen...'

what does she mean then?

I guess it's your turn, Elf Girl. :)

[Elf Girl]

Bizarre. Some sort of error? I guess both answers would be right. :)

On what floor in Hogwarts can you find a tapestry with Barnabas the Barmy on it?

[Orli17]

Fifth floor?

[Elf Girl]

Nope.

[sirigorn]

Third?

[Elf Girl]

No.

[Sono]

eight floor?

[Orli17]

er......seventh????

[kiddstodd]

Who was the first schoolmate harry met befoere going to hogwarts

[Radagast The Brown]

Draco Malfoy. But you need to answer the question that was asked already by Elf Girl before asking a new question. And wait til she says you're right.

[Elf Girl]

Orli17 was correct. Kiddstodd, that means ORLI asks the next question.

[Orli17]

yaaaaay!!!

ok let's see.
Which village did the Riddles live in before they were all murdered?

[sirigorn]

Little Hangleton or something like that.

[Orli17]

Yep sirigorn!! ur turn!!!

[sirigorn]

Okay, then. Lessee....

How many books did Harry need to get in his 5th year and what were they?

~Siri~

[Orli17]

Two books.....Standard Book of Spells Garde 5 n sthg else that has to do with DADA.....guess my answer's incomplete....

[sirigorn]

Yes so far. The DADA one is the boring one Umbridge made them read that Hermione disagreed with. Just a hint.

~Siri~

[Orli17]

Sthg like Defensive Theories or sthg? Had to do with theories for sure cuz umbridge kept mentioning THAT!!! hahaha.....ok...
i'll keep guessing........hmmmm.....

[sirigorn]

It's Defensive Magical Theory actually, but I'll give it to you, it was close.

~Siri~

[Orli17]

hey i thought i already posted my reply..but ok..thanks siri!!

Next question: On which date did Peter Pettigrew become the secret keeper for the Potters???

You can look for the answer on www.hp-lexicon.org
cheers!!!

[Radagast The Brown]

Doesn't the questions suppose to be taken from the books? :confused:

[Elf Girl]

Finding the answer online is allowed (since there's no way to stop it), but personally I frown upon it.

(Why would the giver of a question tell us where to find the answer, anyway?)

[Radagast The Brown]

Yes, it's a bit weird...

So the answer can be found in the books as well?

Happy Birthday, btw. :)

[Orli17]

The answer was given to you to find......it's up to you whether you want to use the resource or not. I mean the questioner should be able to say whether you're allowed to use internet sources or not. What i frown on is using internet resources WITHOUT the permission of the questioner.
Cheers!:D
