Harry Potter Triva thread

[Elf Girl]

October 24, 1981 or thereabouts.

(I'm going away for a week. Someone take my turn.)

[Orli17]

I have to confirm first b4 it's anybody else's turn to ask and yes that is the answer. So go ahead.......

Cheers!

[Nurvingiel]

I've got a good one to bump this thread! Sorry if it has been asked before...

What are Crabbe and Goyle's first names? :)

[Radagast The Brown]

Gregory Goyle and Vincent Crabbe?

[Nurvingiel]

Perfect! Your go, thanks for the PM. :)

[Radagast The Brown]

No problem, Nurv. :)

How many pixies grabbed Neville's ears and lifted him into the air? [second year, Gilderoy Lockheart's first class]

[sirigorn]

Two.

[Radagast The Brown]

Right. Your turn. :)

[sirigorn]

Okay....Name the three Dark Detectors mentioned to be in "Moody's" office.

[inked]

Secrecy Sensor
Sneakoscope
Foe-Glass
:D

[sirigorn]

Yup. Your turn.

[inked]

Which owl in number and type produced the third sound heard by Harry for which he was not responsible in Privet Drive and what was the sound in OotP?

[PippinTook]

huh? I don't get the question. Did an owl make a noise for which Harry was blamed? *confused*

[sirigorn]

Congrats on choosing the one no one will know without looking it up! :p Okay...owl #2 was a barn owl. It made a CRACK when it hit the window.

[PippinTook]

ooooh! *feels stupid* Okay, I'll just wait around for the next one then :) Sorta hopping in late, but I love these things.

[inked]

Sirigorn,

You are wise in the ways of muggles, O Ob Servant One! YOUR GO! :cool:

[sirigorn]

Okay...this is from OotP because it's still next to the computer from when I looked inked's up.
What was Dumbledore's password when McGonagall took them up after Harry had the vision of Arthur being attacked by the snake?

[PippinTook]

fizzing whizzbee? This is just off the top of my head.

[sirigorn]

Well it's right anyway. It had to be a candy, so that narrowed it down. Good job!

[PippinTook]

Yay! Alright...I have no idea...

What does Dumbledore tell Harry when he is discouraged about the Sorting Hat's choice to put him in Gyffindor at the end of CoS?

Its way beyond easy, but its also one of my favorite parts so I've got it memorized.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

It's your choices that determine who you are.

[PippinTook]

Yeah *grins* thats great. Its actually a bit longer, but thats what I was looking for. Go ahead

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

What was the first thing Harry wrote in Tom Riddle's diary?

[inked]

His name.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

With a bit more but close enough. Your go.

[inked]

What words
Running
From Death Eaters away,
To counter brains,
Spelling, Harry did say?

[PippinTook]

Wow, that was elquent, inked! What talent.

Uhhh, Stupefy? Protego? Can I give mre than one answer?

[inked]

The major clue here is brains/death eaters.
Try again!

[sirigorn]

Umm..Wingardium Leviosa? No...Diffindo! That's it, right?

[inked]

Sirigorn,
Wingardium leviosum
Was the answer I was looking
for.
Tee up! :D

[sirigorn]

I was right the first time? Huh...what are the chances? ;)

Okay...who is the author of the Standard Book of Spells series?

[PippinTook]

ooooh yeeeaaah! I remember the Wingardium Leviosa part now that you say that.

NO WAY! I just went to look up the answer, and I had actually guessed right! Its amazing all the needless stupid information cooped up in my brain. The answer is
Miranda Goshawk

Go. me.

[sirigorn]

Yup! Go. You. Your turn!

[PippinTook]

All right!

The Weasleys, Harry and Hermione passed by a few wards on the way to see Mr. Weasley. Name the name of the ward which had Dangerous Creature bites.

Was that too confusing?

[Elf Girl]

'Dangerous' Dai Lewellyn Ward.

[PippinTook]

Bravo! Curious, did you look that one up? You know if you put all the signs in order the first letter of each reads out, "Creature; Dangerous; Dai; Serious" == "Kreacher; Dangerous; Die; Sirius" amazing, eh? I found that on a website, I can't believe people have that much time on their hands.

Okay, go on!

[Elf Girl]

No, I didn't look it up.

Yeah, I'd heard that. Eh. *snorts* I really don't think Jo Rowling has time to put little messages in her books. (And wouldn't it make more sense to put it in the book before? It's something of a waste if we find it out anyway by the end of the book.)

New question: Name a creature that eats Mandrakes.

[Nurvingiel]

Anyone have their "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them" book handy?

*poke*

[inked]

Humans in potions, of course, but is that the answer desired? :evil:

[Elf Girl]

No, that's why I said 'creature'.

[Elf Girl]

Are we wanting a hint, people?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Yeah! :D

[Elf Girl]

Not a great hint, but as it has been surmised the answer lies deep within Fantastic Beasts.

[Nurvingiel]

We did surmise that... :D

Maybe a hint that might aid those who don't have any of the books with them? Jog our memories...

[Radagast The Brown]

Dugbog?

Is it from the books, btw? Must say I had to look for it in the internet.

[Elf Girl]

Yes! Your turn, Radagast.

The answer can be found in the book 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'.

[Radagast The Brown]

When Harry was in the punishment with Lockheart (2nd year), he was writing someone's name on an envelope before he heard the basilisk (sp.). Who was it?

[sirigorn]

Erm.... Gladys Gudgeon? I think he wrote her adress once...

[Radagast The Brown]

Nope. :)

[Elf Girl]

Veronica Smethley.

(What, me look it up? :D)

[Radagast The Brown]

:D

Correct.

[Elf Girl]

Hmmm...

A novel idea: how about an EASY one!

What is Gilderoy Lockhart's secret ambition?

[Radagast The Brown]

Peace? brotherhood between Muggles and Wizards? Or was it the answer to another question?

[Elf Girl]

No, that was one of the others. Close, though!

[PippinTook]

OOOOH I know this one! I think it did have something to do with peace between magical and non-magical people, but it was something else too. Something corny like winning some award or something *racks brain* dont have the books with me either.

[sirigorn]

Oh, I know! Ridding the world of evil, and something stupid like making his own hair care products.

[PippinTook]

That was it! dang, I couldn't remember and I dont have the book, I'm on vacation. His own hair care products *cackles* he said something about muggles too, I think.

[Elf Girl]

Sirigorn was indeed correct.

[sirigorn]

Sorry I took so long, I was busy really lately...

What was the first memory Harry saw while doing Occlumency the very first day?

[Sono]

Harry was 5 as dudley got a new red bike.
Then he was 9 and ripper want to bit him.
The shorting had says he is perfectly for slytherin.... hermione are at the hospital wing ... and cho chang walks to him.

But I'm not sure ;)

[sirigorn]

Yup! You only needed the one about Dudley and the bike, so extra points for you. Your turn!

[Sono]

It's right? cool :D

So, the next question is.....

How did Harry listen to the egg in book 4?

[Radagast The Brown]

under water?

[ethuiliel]

By opening it underwater in the bath. :D

[Sono]

By opening it underwater in the bath. :D

Right! I want to hear where ;)
It's your turn ethuiliel

[Radagast The Brown]

Hey, but you didn't ask 'where'! That's so unfair. :p :D

[ethuiliel]

How long was the waiting list for Hogwarts a History when Hermione tried to check it out to from the Hogwarts library to research the Chamber of Secrets?

[Brian]

3 week at least

[ethuiliel]

I don't have the book with me so I could be wrong, but I don't think it's 3 weeks.

[Brian]

i was just guessing but u might as well check just in case.

[ethuiliel]

I just did... it's not 3 weeks

[Brian]

3 months then, i know theres a three

[ethuiliel]

3 months then, i know theres a three

Nope... not 3 months, and not 3 anything

[eowyngirl14]

4 months

[ethuiliel]

Nope

[eowyngirl14]

u lie, lol
just kidding, that was a random guess

btw, i loev the passage in your signiture

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

1 month?

[ethuiliel]

eowyngirl14: which one? I love both of course... that's why they're in my sig.

Telcontar_Dunedain: still no.

[Elemmírë]

2 months?

[ethuiliel]

nope

[Elemmírë]

2 weeks?

btw, I hardly even remember this... ;)

[ethuiliel]

yup, two weeks.

[Elemmírë]

:eek:

Whoops...

I, um... can you wait till tomorrow... when I can, um... get a book...?

:o

Or do you want a really easy question... (or one I don't remember the answer to)? ;)

[Elemmírë]

So... still no book. Papers got in the way...

So... someone else can go. I just have an interesting little question... the answer to which probably cannot be found in the book:

Most curses in HP are named in Latin. However, there is a curse whose name is derived from Aramaic. Name it.

[Elf Girl]

Avada Kedavra.

[jammi567]

who were snapes parents?

[Spock]

Some how we have two HPT threads going at once.

Reporting to the powers above. :)

[durinsbane2244]

this one died, so i made the other one...

[E, LoR]

yeah... the other one seems to be more... alive.

(DIE RULE, DIE!) :D

[durinsbane2244]

[Earniel]

duplicate thread. Closing.
