Harry and Ginny _ Procrastination Station _ HP Trivia

Posted by: Drie Jun 3 2004, 05:29 PM

Okay, this is fairly easy for all of us who seem to have, ah, a little bit more than a passing interest in JKR's world. MSNBC has http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5068210/ to test your CANNON knowledge. Have fun!

Posted by: RJOCL12 Jun 3 2004, 06:00 PM

OK, I got 92% Missed teh one on where teh schools are.

Next up?

Posted by: Drie Jun 3 2004, 06:09 PM

Hey Robert, I did the same thing you did! Trick question, that. I really loved some of the "silly" answers they give!

Posted by: hockeygod Jun 3 2004, 06:17 PM

I took it, but i couldn't get my scores. I think I got 100% though, because I am sweet.

Thanks for taking our quiz. You answered 100% of the questions correctly.

I liked the trick question about the schools, was very clever - 100% for me though biggrin.gif

You are a First-year. You know how to cast a few spells, but you've still got a few things to learn.

I got 62%. Ok, so I did badly. But at least I passed it. I just got a few obvious ones wrong, but knew all the spells and people.

Posted by: sockless Jun 7 2004, 01:31 PM

100% for me! hee hee! that was easy!

Posted by: nome Jun 7 2004, 09:13 PM

Easy! thumbup1.gif

You know, if we're going to have an Elenarda trivia thread, why not an HP?

Posted by: Drie Jun 7 2004, 09:19 PM

Nome!!!! Haven't really seen you around for awhile. Hope all is well!

Besides money, what was in the Potter's vault?

Posted by: RJOCL12 Jun 9 2004, 08:25 AM

Sneaky, none. According to HP & SS the vult contained money and GREEN SMOKE! Am I right?

Robert

Posted by: nome Jun 11 2004, 02:16 AM

Green smoke was what I was looking for. Your turn! smile.gif

Posted by: RJOCL12 Jun 11 2004, 06:56 AM

In Cos, what is the FIRST spell he hits Malfoy with during the Dueling Club meeting?

Posted by: nome Jun 12 2004, 01:14 AM

Rictusempra?

(went and looked it up, am right. devil.gif )

QUOTE
What are the doors to Gringotts made of?

Posted by: Yoda Jun 16 2004, 11:44 PM

bronze and then silver if memory serves (have read HP I-III.5 (i.e. half of GoF) to relax before exams this week)

question (if I'm right, that is) is:

What jinx is Sirius trying to advise Harry to use in the first Triwizard competition?

PS: 'trying' because he is interrupted while speaking to Sirius

Posted by: nome Jun 17 2004, 12:50 AM

Conjunctivitis Charm? (Am not sure... I'm substituting the medical equivalent 'cause I can't remember JKR's version of the word)

Posted by: Yoda Jun 17 2004, 03:22 PM

The spelling escapes my addled brain as well, but that was the jinx sorcerer.gif I was looking for nome, your turn!

Yoda, addled beyond addlement

For what does Hermione make "a simple Sleeping Draught"?

Posted by: Pretty Penny Jun 18 2004, 02:18 AM

The small cakes for Crabbe and Goyle in CoS.

Posted by: nome Jun 18 2004, 03:44 AM

Right in one!

Posted by: Pretty Penny Jun 19 2004, 02:23 AM

Ok, I guess that means I have to ask one now......

What was Dean's boggart? For extra credit, how'd he make it funny?

Kristin

Posted by: nome Jun 19 2004, 07:35 AM

The banshee that lost it's voice?

Posted by: Pretty Penny Jun 19 2004, 04:47 PM

That was Seamus' boggart.

Posted by: nome Jun 19 2004, 11:07 PM

Right! Duh.

I remember it now, but I've guessed. Anyone else? teehee.gif

Posted by: Elenarda Jun 20 2004, 04:50 PM

Vampire with teeth falling out? I can't remember either!

Posted by: Pretty Penny Jun 21 2004, 02:13 AM

Shall I give a hint? It has to do with a body part.....oops...that sounds kinda dirty doesn't it?

Kristin

Posted by: RJOCL12 Jun 21 2004, 02:54 AM

A severed hand! (Easy for those of us who have the books next to the computer!)


In PoA what was Hannah Abbot's explanation for how Sirius gained entry to the castle?

Posted by: nome Jun 21 2004, 03:28 AM

Checking books before posting the answer is cheating. I think. I hope. teehee.gif

No spork for you! wink.gif And the bonus answer is that it got caught in a mousetrap.

Sorry, mindblanking on the Hannah Abbot question. If I think of it later I'll post.

Posted by: hockeygod Jun 21 2004, 02:43 PM

She said he can turn into a flowering shrub.

What does Stan Shunpike claim to be to a veela in a forest after the World Cup?

Posted by: Yoda Jun 21 2004, 06:48 PM

He claims he's about to become the youngest ever Minister for Magic if memory serves.

Here's a tricky one/two:

In what order did items/people/noises emerge from Voldemort's wand during Priori Incantatem when he duelled with Harry (mainly looking for the people), and why is this order incorrect?

Yoda, in trouble if he's wrong about this...

Posted by: Pretty Penny Jun 21 2004, 11:58 PM

Wormtail's silver hand, Cedric, Frank Bryce, Bertha Jorkins, Lily Potter, and James Potter (at least in my version). Original versions had James coming out of the wand before Lily and this was incorrect because he died first.

Kristin, who hopes she didn't leave one out.

Edited because I can't type.

Posted by: Yoda Jun 22 2004, 10:44 AM

100% what I was looking for. It's particularly confusing in my edition because Harry says it was his father who told him to run, when it was Lily in the text!

Yoda, confuzzled but not so confuzzled

Posted by: Pretty Penny Jun 23 2004, 01:38 AM

At the end of OotP, what did Harry think and feel that made Voldemort stop possessing him?

Kristin, who had a long day at work and hopes this question makes sense.

Posted by: hockeygod Jun 23 2004, 04:17 PM

He was thinking that he just wanted to die to end the pain and then he thought he would be able to see Sirius again, which made his heart swell with love and it stooped Tom possessing him.

What does Fleur Delacour do after the second task that ticks off Hermione in GoF?

Posted by: nome Jun 25 2004, 04:44 PM

Hugs Ron for saving Gabrielle! IIRC.

QUOTE
How many times did Hermione deduce that Skeeter was spying on them?

Posted by: Yoda Jul 1 2004, 01:42 PM

Right, I think I've got them all (though probably in the wrong order):

1). When she was the beetle in Hermione's hair after the second task
2). Overhearing Hagrid & Olympe (Harry remembers the beetle later) at the Yule Ball
3). Having to have flown up to hear/see Harry's dream thingy in Divination

So I believe that it's three...although I have a niggling doubt that I'm forgetting one...

Well nome? T'is up to you to decide if I'm right or not

Yoda, trying to revise books is more fun than the evil exams biggrin.gif

Posted by: Yoda Jul 2 2004, 10:54 PM

Well, I was almost right - I found two more references when conversing with Tim!

i). Draco talking into his palm - like a walkie-talkie
ii). Harry initially saying 'maybe I'm bugged' or referring to them.

Yoda, feeling sheepish.

PS: A new question:

How many doors lead out from the Gringotts main hall? [Clue: a lot!]

Posted by: QuickHare Jul 8 2004, 05:09 PM

Too many to count, if I remember rightly.

Question: Asphodel and Wormwood can be combined to create a potion. What does it do?

Posted by: hockeygod Jul 9 2004, 01:46 PM

Those two combine the Draught of Living Death, named for it being a very strong sleeping potion.

What soccer team does Dean Thomas support?

Posted by: sockless Jul 11 2004, 04:21 AM

West Ham, I think.


Which book did Harry get Hedwig's name from?

Posted by: Yoda Jul 11 2004, 08:27 PM

Her name would be from A History of Magic by Adalbert Waffling if memory serves me correct...

Which bottle contains the potion that allows Harry through the black fire to meet the man with two faces?

Posted by: RJOCL12 Jul 11 2004, 08:51 PM

The smallest one!

In Goblet, what clue does Cedric give Harry?

Posted by: Yoda Jul 13 2004, 06:42 PM

Ah, the wondrous clue of 'take a bath' that left Harry both confused, and I would say, slightly insulted.

What was the answer to the Sphinx's riddle? (GoF)

I believe "a spider".

Posted by: Yoda Jul 19 2004, 09:32 PM

yep, your turn for a quote Jerry (and also, hi!)


Posted by: Jerry Jul 19 2004, 09:46 PM

Thanx for the welcome smile.gif

In Book 4, which of Karkaroff's pupils were reprimanded for asking for wine?

Posted by: Yoda Jul 19 2004, 11:10 PM

That would be Poliakoff, who spilt most of his wine down his robes *slobbery emoticon*

So, question, question:

Why was Ludovic Bagman suspected of being a Death Eater?

Posted by: Jerry Jul 19 2004, 11:17 PM

He was caught passing information to Rookwood.


What was Ron's advice on how to get a girl alone and away from her friends in Book 4?

Posted by: sockless Jul 20 2004, 06:27 AM

Hee hee! Lasso one! that made me smile! thanks!


In GoF how much did the Omnioculars cost at the Quiddich World Cup?

Posted by: RJOCL12 Jul 20 2004, 07:21 AM

Ten Galleons


In the series, what school does Harry supposedly attend (according t the Dursley's)?

Posted by: Jerry Jul 20 2004, 02:02 PM

St. Brutus's Secure Center for Incurably Criminal Boys (that sounds so stupid laugh.gif )


Who was the centaur that first threatened Dolores Umbridge?

Posted by: Yoda Jul 21 2004, 04:33 PM

Well, in terms of threatening there's about five or six different centaurs responsible, and not all of them have names!

1). Centaur who fires an arrow over Umbridge's *spit, spit* head before all the centaurs emerge into clearing.
2). 50 Centaurs who aim bows at her as they emerge (notably Magorian)
3). Bane, who loses it a bit when Umbridge *spit, spit* calls them half-breeds.
4). Magorian, who tramples angrily when Umbridge *spit, spit* says they have 'near-human intelligence'.
5). Another centaur who fires an arrow...and then all hell breaks loose and they all start threatening her for 6).!


So, new question:

The Headmaster's full name is?

initials: A.P.W.B.D.

Have fun,
Yoda biggrin.gif

Posted by: hockeygod Jul 21 2004, 06:48 PM

Albus Percival Wolfuric Brian Dumbledore

I am positive on everything other than the W. Be kind though; I did it off the top of my head.

Posted by: Jerry Jul 21 2004, 08:40 PM

I think it's Wulfric, but I'd be the last one to know. I'm terrrible with names tongue.gif

Posted by: Yoda Jul 21 2004, 11:04 PM

Well done - between the two of you perfection (HG right on all from his head but the 'W' and Jerry getting said 'W')

one of you two next (preferably HG as he was 80% correct, although statistically beyond that Jerry was 100% correct, but anyway, I ramble tongue.gif)

Here is a meticulous question:

How many goals did Transylvania score against England in Book#4?

Posted by: hockeygod Jul 22 2004, 01:53 PM

I believe Transylvania scored 21 goals.

Posted by: Yoda Jul 22 2004, 02:34 PM

lessee, England lost to Transylvania by 390 to 10 (we suck!)

So 390 - 150 for the Snitch is 240 ---> 24 goals

Wheeeeeeeee the maths degree is useful for something biggrin.gif


New question, hearking back to the days of yore (i.e. from Philosopher's Stone):

Which three books did Hermione read as a bit of 'extra reading' over the holiday that feature Harry?

Posted by: sockless Jul 24 2004, 03:50 PM

Modern Magical History, The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts, andGreat Wizarding Events of the Twentieth Century

(i had to look up one tongue.gif )


In OotP, what order did the Weasley's / Harry, turn into Mrs. Weasley's boggart?

Posted by: Jerry Jul 25 2004, 01:55 AM

Okay, let's see if my memory doesn't fail me...

Ron, Bill, Fred & George, Percy, and then Harry. I probably missed one, but if I didn't, here's the next question:

Who was the ministry worker who had horns by the Quidditch World Cup?

Posted by: Yoda Aug 9 2004, 09:33 PM

That would be Gilbert Wimple of the Commitee on Experimental Charms biggrin.gif (Guess who read the HP books while he was on holiday?)

Also from the 'Goblet of Fire':

How many times did Moody (Crouch) put Harry 'through his paces' until he could shake off the Imperius Curse?


Yoda, sorcerer.gif take over Procrastination Station

Posted by: Jerry Aug 9 2004, 09:37 PM

Four times (don't fail me, long-term memory tongue.gif )


What is the spell to create a bouquet of flowers (Book 4) ?

Posted by: Yoda Aug 9 2004, 10:07 PM

'Orchideous' is the spell, and the strange thing is unlike most other spells/charms/jinxes used in GoF, the word does not appear in Italics in my copy...hmmmm

Different book:

Where does Madam Marsh live nearby to? (PoA)

Posted by: Jerry Aug 9 2004, 10:28 PM

That would be Abergavenny.


Here's a tricky one: In what book is Sirius Black not mentioned?

Posted by: Yoda Aug 10 2004, 11:09 AM

Well, I could be really sneaky and go for 'Quidditch Through the Ages' or 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' in reference to the comic relief books that JKR released, but I'm sure they're not the ones Jerry's looking for, soooooooooo:

Philosopher's Stone - nope, Hagrid mentions borrowing the bike off him.
Prisoner of Azkaban - nope
Goblet of Fire - nope
Order of the Phoenix - nope

So my answer is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (unless it's one of the comic relief books!)

Yoda, working things out is fun (if it's not work)

Posted by: Yoda Aug 10 2004, 11:27 AM

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand because I forgot to put in a question:

What is the only spell known to repel a Lethifold?

Yoda, devil.gif

Posted by: Jerry Aug 10 2004, 02:28 PM

Is it the Patronus Charm? ermm.gif

Posted by: Yoda Aug 10 2004, 10:03 PM

As the Epideme virus would say: 'Give that man an eyebrow - hey, I'm feeling generous - give him two!' Absolutely correct Jerry - your question

Yoda, giving out eyebrows thumbup1.gif

Posted by: Jerry Aug 11 2004, 02:51 AM

Thanx for the eyebrow laugh.gif

In the HP series, there is someone who shares the same surname as Sturgis Podmore. Who is it and in what book is he mentioned?

Posted by: Yoda Aug 13 2004, 12:32 AM

Sir Patrick Delaney Podmore of the Headless Hunt, In 'Chamber of Secrets' - and that one taxed my memory!


From PS:

Who (wearing a tall hat) bows to Harry in a shop which Aunt Petunia promptly whisks him out of?

Posted by: Jerry Aug 13 2004, 12:35 AM

Dedalus Diggle, of course biggrin.gif

This one is a little tricky, too:

Throughout the HP series, which people actually say Voldemort's name aloud?

Good Luck. smile.gif

Posted by: Yoda Aug 13 2004, 10:58 PM

If you want, I can attempt to go in order of saying it biggrin.gif

Dumbledore
McGonagall
Hagrid
Harry
Hermione
Quirrel
Voldemort/Tom Riddle
Lupin
Sirius

And they're all that occur to me at this point - how close am I?

Yoda, racking brains while not looking for a job - that's the kind of job I want biggrin.gif

Posted by: Drie Aug 13 2004, 10:59 PM

Don't forget Ron! He finally said it in OotP.

But of course, you get the full credit for your answer. Kudos to you, Yoda!

Posted by: Yoda Aug 13 2004, 11:19 PM

Wahibble! I though I should have put Ron down, but I just couldn't remember - I better go reread OotP again!

So, time for a new question:

Who wrote The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection from Harry's booklist in year one?

Yoda, liking the names biggrin.gif

Posted by: Jerry Aug 13 2004, 11:26 PM

I lent the book to my brother, so naturally I never got it back... tongue.gif

Is it

[*memory*]

Quentin Trimble?

[/*memory*]

Posted by: Yoda Aug 13 2004, 11:30 PM

Onnnnnnnnnnne Hundred Percent Correct! New question from you Jerry!

Posted by: Jerry Aug 13 2004, 11:34 PM

Okay, an easy one...


Who was the gamekeeper before Hagrid?

Posted by: Yoda Aug 19 2004, 08:47 PM

I couldn't leave without answering this now, could I? Should have got it from my ardent following of Terry Pratchett really!

Ogg


So, I shall leave a tricky one behind:

Who are the 'arrogant little berks' of the series?

Posted by: Jerry Aug 19 2004, 09:24 PM

The Marauders? ermm.gif

Posted by: Yoda Aug 19 2004, 09:25 PM

good enough biggrin.gif I was driving for James & Sirius (as described by him!)

Posted by: Jerry Aug 19 2004, 09:48 PM

Okay, here's the next question:

What were the ways that Dobby tried to get Harry to stay home/ come back from Hogwarts (in CoS)?

Posted by: Yoda Aug 19 2004, 10:23 PM

i. Kept back his post ranting.gif
ii. The cake biggrin.gif
iii. The barrier
iv. The Rogue Bludger

Yoda, any more?

Posted by: Jerry Aug 19 2004, 10:27 PM

Nope, you're completely correct!

Here's an eyebrow, and the floor is yours. tongue.gif

Posted by: Yoda Aug 19 2004, 10:39 PM

wheee! good old photographic memory - I was remembering the film rather than the book because it's all visual! biggrin.gif

Sooooo, trying to stump Jerry, I shall come up with another 'tricky' question:

To the shop at the end of which road does Mrs. 'Figgy' Figg go to buy her cat food?

Posted by: Jerry Aug 19 2004, 10:41 PM

Wisteria Walk, or was I too quick and got it wrong? wink.gif

Posted by: Yoda Aug 19 2004, 10:55 PM

Right again - and I'm all out of eyebrows!

Posted by: Jerry Aug 19 2004, 11:00 PM

And we continue...

Name all of Gilderoy Lockhart's books. biggrin.gif tongue.gif


warning: trick question...

Posted by: Yoda Aug 23 2004, 10:38 AM

Well, putting aside the 50-or-so that he did write but did so by thieving the information off other people, I suppose the only book he wrote (going by the last 10 seconds of CoS) is 'Who am I?'


What was Percy's personal 'nothing personal' surprise?

Posted by: Jerry Aug 23 2004, 02:44 PM

The 'sample of fertilizer from Norway' = dragon dung from F&G. biggrin.gif

When does Professor McGonagall call Harry by his first name?

Posted by: Yoda Aug 23 2004, 11:47 PM

Well, the only time I can remember is when she talks to Dumbledore about the events that took place at Godric's Hollow. Other than that, she does mention his first name during the Sorting Ceremony.

Assuming I'm right, here be the next question:

What is Nicholas Flamel, besides an alchemist?

Yoda, wizard is not the answer tongue.gif

Posted by: Jerry Aug 25 2004, 11:42 PM

Is it opera-lover ermm.gif ?


Posted by: Yoda Aug 25 2004, 11:46 PM

*hands out eyebrows by the dozen*

Absolutely correct - thank you, and good night!

Posted by: Jerry Aug 25 2004, 11:55 PM

Great, now it's my time to confuse! devil.gif (j/k tongue.gif )


Lucius Malfoy had deflected Bellatrix Lestrange's curse in the Department of Mysteries, causing prophecies to shatter. What did the prophecies say?

Good Luck. smile.gif

Posted by: Drie Aug 26 2004, 05:00 AM

QUOTE (Yoda @ Aug 25 2004, 04:46 PM)
*hands out eyebrows by the dozen*

Absolutely correct - thank you, and good night!

You're handing out eyebrows now? Does Yoda even have eyebrows? Or is there just a stash of them in one of his pockets for this kind of occasion...

Posted by: Yoda Aug 26 2004, 11:14 AM

To answer Drie first: Of course I have eyebrows! I don't know about the film star version of me though...must talk to my agent about that. Don't want to get sunburned on my eyelids if I have to go to Tunisia to film biggrin.gif And yes, there is also a stash for hp trivia occasions.

And now to answer Jerry's question, which, because I was having evil thoughts after reading OotP, I posted under the message title 'Uh-oh' back on gt.net devil.gif

'At the solstice will come a new...'

*snip passage*

'And none will come after.'

The reason for 'uh-oh'? Very simple, OotP was released on the summer solstice. That one made me very unpopular for five minutes (then someone realised it was a joke - or like me, hoped it was a joke - JKR does have a wicked sense of humour).

Yoda, also in possession of a wicked sense of humour devil.gif


PS: The new question, which I forgot the first time, is this:

What gift did Hagrid and Olympe first present to the giant's leader (the Gurg)? And I'm looking for the name, as well as the properties devil.gif

Posted by: Jerry Aug 26 2004, 01:15 PM

"A branch o' Gubraithian Fire" biggrin.gif

Properties: A charm that causes an object to burn with an everlasting fire

The next question:

How did Mrs. Figg first describe the dementors?

Posted by: Yoda Aug 26 2004, 08:10 PM

Well, after saying they run (then glide), Mrs. Figg eventually decides that they are 'Big and wearing cloaks' biggrin.gif

What section of the International Confederation of Warlock's Statute of Secrecy did Harry break (in a thoroughly legal fashion)?

Posted by: Jerry Aug 26 2004, 08:17 PM

Section 13? confused1.gif

Posted by: Yoda Aug 26 2004, 08:19 PM

yep biggrin.gif

Posted by: Jerry Aug 26 2004, 08:22 PM

Okay. Fairly easy question coming up:

Who was Harry's 'guard' team (beginning of OotP) that rescued him from Privet Drive?

Posted by: Ignotus Aug 27 2004, 04:06 AM

The order, and from that: Lupin, Moody, Shacklebolt, Tonks, Elphias Dodge, Dedalus Diggle, Emmaline Vance, Strugis Podmore, Hestia Jones!

If I'm right (wich I should be) then the next question is: What kind of dragon did Krum face (GoF)?


If I'm wrong, ignore me and knight me crazy!

Posted by: Jerry Aug 27 2004, 04:10 AM

You're absolutely correct. smile.gif

Krum faced a Chinese Fireball, if I'm not mistaken.


What does Ron see in the Mirror of Erised?

Posted by: Ignotus Aug 27 2004, 04:50 AM

Yes, you're right! fing05.gif

Ron saw himself Head Boy, Quiddich Captian, and holding the House cup and the Quiddich Cup, I'm sure. Oh yes, and he's much older.

If I'm right:

In OotP, what was the desiese the portrait in St. Mungo's thought Ron had and what were they really?

Posted by: Jerry Aug 27 2004, 04:55 AM

The healer in the picture had mistaken his freckles to be 'spattergroit' (take the liver of a toad, bind it tight about your throat, stand naked... laugh.gif laugh.gif ).

With what spell/charm did Gilderoy Lockhart (according to himself tongue.gif ) transform a werewolf into a normal person?

Posted by: Yoda Aug 27 2004, 08:20 PM

The Homorphus Charm

What was Lupin's spell for flinging (Drooble's Best) bubblegum up Peeves's nose?

Posted by: Ignotus Aug 27 2004, 08:27 PM

Waddiwasi!



What was problem #54 on Lockharts's quiz/test about himself? (Chap 6)

Posted by: Ignotus Aug 27 2004, 09:05 PM

Correct! fing05.gif

Posted by: Jerry Aug 27 2004, 09:24 PM

What dance did Barty Crouch ('Mad-Eye Moody') perform with Professor Sinistra at the Yule Ball?

Posted by: Ignotus Aug 27 2004, 09:57 PM

What is Molly Weasley's maiden name?

Posted by: Jerry Aug 27 2004, 09:58 PM

This isn't from the books, is it?

I think it's Prewett (Might be too much fanfiction biggrin.gif ) Is it Prewett?

Posted by: Ignotus Aug 27 2004, 10:00 PM

Yes, it's Prewett. It says so on Jo's website. And, heh, no, it's not in the books. smile.gif

Okay, next question:

What was Ron's advice on how to get a girl to the Yule Ball?

Posted by: Goatman Aug 29 2004, 01:10 AM

lasso one!!! biggrin.gif
and i think that's the way to do it!!!!!!!!!!! devil.gif devil.gif

just kidding!!!
next question:
in #5 what happy thought does harry use to conjure his patronus during his DADA OWL??

Posted by: Jerry Aug 29 2004, 01:16 AM

"Umbridge being sacked", I believe.

What treatment did Ron receive from Madam Pomfrey to assuage the welts made by the 'brain' in the Department of Mysteries?

Posted by: Ignotus Aug 29 2004, 05:04 AM

Chocolate perhaps? Because I know that Madame Pomfrey had said something about thoughts leaving deeper scars or something or the other.

Posted by: Jerry Aug 29 2004, 05:56 AM

Nope, though you did remember the 'scarring' part. Track your memory a few sentences before/after.

Posted by: Ignotus Aug 29 2004, 06:07 AM

Dr. Ubby's Oblivious Unction or something-I think

Posted by: Jerry Aug 29 2004, 06:09 AM

It was Dr. Ubbly's Oblivious Unction, I believe, so I'll give it to you fing05.gif

Posted by: Ignotus Aug 29 2004, 06:19 AM

Okay, err, what is Remus Lupin's middle name?

Posted by: Jerry Aug 29 2004, 04:34 PM

I know it starts with a "J", but I don't think his middle name is mentioned at all in the books. I'll guess 'John'.

Posted by: Goatman Aug 29 2004, 05:41 PM

i agree, that's what iv heard at other forums

Posted by: Jerry Aug 29 2004, 06:22 PM

Okay, assuming I'm right:

How many points did Cedric acquire in the first task?


Jerry, in the mood for math inference questions wink.gif

Posted by: Ignotus Aug 29 2004, 06:46 PM

Yes Jerry, you were correct. Spend a day or so on JKR.com, will ya?



Okay, first task:. . . . . .Wait! First task?! It never said!

Posted by: Yoda Aug 29 2004, 06:49 PM

Right, here we go biggrin.gif

Harry received 8,9,9,10,4 (ranting.gif) in the first task, giving him a grand total of 40 points. In the second task he is awarded 45 for his moral fibre/stupidity (depending on who you believe Dumbledore/Ron biggrin.gif). This gives Harry 85 points, which must also be Cedric's score as he and Harry enter the maze simultaneously. Cedric received 47 points for the second task, and so if we calculate 85 points less 47, this gives 38 points - his score in the first task smile.gif


So now to the question: what score did Krum amass before the third task?

Yoda, trying to be devious and clever and failing in style biggrin.gif

Posted by: Jerry Aug 29 2004, 07:01 PM

Well done, Yoda! notworthy.gif

Now, on to your question...
Krum and Harry were tied in the First Task = Krum had 40 points, like Harry, + another 40 for his shark-head transfiguration biggrin.gif , giving him a grand total of 80 points.

Assuming I'm correct, here we go: Who's chained to who, when everyone goes out of the Shrieking Shack? (end of PoA)

Posted by: Ignotus Aug 29 2004, 07:06 PM

Ron and Remus were chained on either side (I believe) to Peter. Snape was unconcious, and Sirius was levitating him. Harry and "Mione followed.

Posted by: Jerry Aug 29 2004, 07:07 PM

Correct, your turn. smile.gif

Posted by: Ignotus Aug 29 2004, 07:09 PM

Okay, what did Dumbledore say when Harry asked him what he saw in the Mirror of Erised?

Posted by: Jerry Aug 29 2004, 07:11 PM

A pair of thick, woolen socks, I believe.

What memories did Snape extract from Harry's mind the first time he performed Legilimency on him?


Posted by: Yoda Aug 30 2004, 02:34 PM

Well, there's a whole list of them (and in no particular order) let's see what I can remember:

Cho under the mistletoe (where he breaks Snape off)
Being chased up a tree by Ripper?
Something about Dudley, I think he's on a bike but that could be from PS...
Hermione in the hospital wing
Under the Sorting Hat being told to go into Slytherin

I think that's it...

and assuming it is, here be my question:

What are Heliopaths?

Posted by: Jerry Aug 30 2004, 02:39 PM

Well, they're supposedly "great tall flaming creatures that go galloping across the ground burning everything", or something like that biggrin.gif laugh.gif

What 'rude' name does Nearly Headless Nick call Sir Patrick (from the Headless Hunt)?

Posted by: hershey Aug 31 2004, 03:29 AM

Without running to check the book I'm going to guess - Ron Language! said Hermione

Posted by: Jerry Aug 31 2004, 03:43 AM

Nope. laugh.gif

To make it a drop more 'understandable', he called him something that used the same initials as his real name (S.P.D.P.)

Good Luck smile.gif


Posted by: Yoda Aug 31 2004, 10:38 AM

Although I would love for it to be Hershey's answer laugh.gif I think you'll find the proper answer is 'Sir Properly-Decapitated Podmore!' biggrin.gif

Name each dragon from the first task by the appropriate champion - Harry, Cedric, Fleur and Krum.

Posted by: hockeygod Aug 31 2004, 02:49 PM

Hungarian Horntail

I think this is the right order.

Posted by: hershey Aug 31 2004, 02:51 PM

You are correct, sir. Next question please.

Posted by: hockeygod Aug 31 2004, 02:54 PM

What does Harry ask Percy after Dumbledore opens the Welcoming Feast in Sorcerer's Stone?

Posted by: Yoda Aug 31 2004, 03:20 PM

Harry says 'Is he a bit mad?'

Percy replies 'Dumbledore? He's a genius, best wizard in the world! But he is a bit mad' (or something close to that biggrin.gif)

What does Hermione do when she finds out that Hogwarts has house-elves?

Posted by: Jerry Aug 31 2004, 03:42 PM

Stops eating and says "Slave labor is what made this dinner. Slave labor" or something like that?

Posted by: hockeygod Aug 31 2004, 04:08 PM

That is what she says, but I was thinking of her immediate reaction to it.

Posted by: Jerry Aug 31 2004, 04:48 PM

Oh, in that case, it was knocking over her goblet, spreading pumpkin juice throughout the tablecloth.

What potion ingredients had Harry been running low of (beginning of PoA)?

Posted by: Juliet5368 Sep 2 2004, 07:15 PM

essence of boomslang... or something like that. (that was totally on memory by the way)

Posted by: Jerry Sep 2 2004, 10:30 PM

Nice try. smile.gif

It was essence of something, and another ingredient

Posted by: Juliet5368 Sep 3 2004, 02:09 AM

I checked the chapter of the book where it talks about Harry replenishing his potions supplies in PoA. It didn't specify any ingredients.
All it said was:
QUOTE
There were, however, things that Harry needed to buy. He went to the Apothecary to replenish his store of potions ingredients, and as his school robes were now several inches too short in the arm and leg, he visited Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions and bought new ones. Most important of all, he had to buy his new schoolbooks, which would include those for his two new subjects, Care of Magical Creatures and Divination.

Here is my question:

what painting was the Fat Lady hiding in after Sirius Black had attacked her when she would not admit him into the Gryffindor Common Room in PoA?

Posted by: Yoda Sep 3 2004, 02:46 PM

Depending on your source, the answer is:

Running through the trees (in portraits) on the fourth floor ~ Prisoner of Azkaban, the book

Behind a rhino! ~ Prisoner of Azkaban, the film

Either way - a new question biggrin.gif (and because this was a source of amusement in the PoA film for me) what book is the wizard stirrring his tea reading when Harry enters The Leaky Cauldron?

Yoda, going filmic

Posted by: RJOCL12 Sep 3 2004, 07:49 PM

Well, I went and looked at my downloaded copy of PoA and what I could make out is that it is a Trade paperback entitled "A brief history of ..." with a picture of a boy on the cover. Sorry but the resolution wasn't strong enough when I paused to get the rest.

Posted by: Yoda Sep 3 2004, 10:45 PM

Well, the 'A brief history of...' bit is right, and as for the boy on the cover, he's not a boy! As a slight clue to those confuzzled: he is the englishman with an american accent who made the news last month (for this reason) smile.gif

Posted by: Yoda Sep 9 2004, 08:25 PM

Additional clues:

He recently decided black holes don't actually destroy everything, a fact already suggested by the sphagettification of the Red Dwarf crew in the book 'Better Than Life'.

Recently, he also wrote 'The Universe in a Nutshell'

Hope these help!

Where did Harry first meet Dedalus Diggle?

Posted by: nome Nov 15 2004, 08:17 AM

Posted by: Jerry Dec 3 2004, 06:09 PM

I think in the 5th, when he says that "No one can feel that many things at once. They'd explode." or something like that about Cho Chang.

I believe that this is the correct answer, so here's the next question:

What were the curses and hexes used against the Inquisitorial Squad in Umbridge's office (by Neville, Ginny, etc...)

Posted by: Yoda Dec 19 2004, 02:22 PM

Can't believe I didn't remember the answer to this! To quote Ron:

A couple of Stunners
Neville's nice little Impediment Jinx
A Disarming Charm
and Ginny's Bat Bogey Hex

now, laugh - laugh I say - as you picture Malfoy's face being peppered by winged Bat Bogeys! laugh.gif

How many were seated before Professor Trewlawney joined them one Christmas? (and why is the number after she was seated significant?)

Posted by: RJOCL12 Dec 20 2004, 08:58 AM

In PoA. The answer is 13 and the theory is that when thirteen dine, then the first to rise is the first to die.

This is considered a prime forshadowing point for Ron's death in Book 6 by some.

Right then, *vigourous knuckle cracking sounds*, Robert's challenge has stood long enough! Here we go:

Philosopher's Stone: Harry - Emerald, Ron - Maroon unsure.gif , Gred & Force - Blue with yellow letters, Percy - not sure.

Chamber of Secrets: Not sure about the colours, except Ron - Maroon ermm.gif

Prisoner of Azkaban: Harry - Gryffindor colours with a Lion, Ron - Maroon :dry.gif

Goblet of Fire: Harry - Green with a Dragon, Ron - Maroon mad.gif

Order of the Phoenix - not sure again, but Ron - Maro- ranting.gif

PS: I realise Maroon isn't actually orange in colour, but orange/brown is my colourblind area - so it looks like that to me! biggrin.gif

Aha! How do you like them apples (or fruit of your choice)?

And so, a question, and hopefully as tricky as Robert's:

What is the proper name for the amazing save Ron pulls off in one of the Quidditch practices? (And, in what form should it never be attempted?)

Yep! Your turn.

Posted by: Yoda Jan 18 2005, 07:55 PM

as we are 16 days onward with no new question, I will throw one out there:

How many times does Harry say 'Voldemort' when discussing the events that lead up to the Trio disappearing through the trapdoor? (i.e. post Forbidden Forest, when they're gathered in the common room).

For a bonus point, how many times does Ron say 'Will you stop saying his name!' in response to Harry's summary?

Posted by: Yoda Feb 7 2005, 11:06 PM

hmmm, a clue perhaps:

it's more than four but less than six - and it isn't three, m'lud! (and as for the bonus, it's 60% of the answer)

Posted by: nobody Feb 25 2005, 01:47 AM

oh i know i know!!!!!!!!!!
it's 5 and 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jump.gif jump.gif jump.gif

ok:

what dark detectors are described in the come and go room??

Posted by: Yoda Apr 2 2005, 03:07 PM

Hee, I spent ages thinking the 'Come and Go Room' was the entry hall at the M.O.M., completely forgot it's the 'Room of Requirement' as well! So now the memory partially works, the dark detectors are:

Foe Glass (large and cracked variety)
Secrecy Sensors
Sneakoscopes

So, a new question...devil.gif

Which centaur is described as being a palomino colour?

okay to give you a clue, It should probably read: who or what wears a green nylon pinaore dress?

Posted by: Drie Apr 22 2005, 06:02 PM

This seems like it should be so easy, but I've no clue! Can you narrow it down a little bit more?

Posted by: bart Apr 22 2005, 07:00 PM

A clue? Okay, Harry meets her/it outside over Christmas.

Posted by: Jerry Apr 22 2005, 07:11 PM

Tonks, when they're going to visit Mr. Weasley in the hospital? Or one of the people passing by and commenting how "It's never opened, that place..."? unsure.gif

Posted by: Yoda Apr 23 2005, 09:08 PM

Ah, there's nothing like reading the guesses of others to help you find the right answer - Jerry is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo close it's unbelievable, but the answer is the dummy in the entrance window of St. Mungos.

Here's a good one:

What relation is Phineas to Sirius?

yoda, cheeky muppet

Posted by: Jerry Apr 27 2005, 04:30 AM

Well, I hope this isn't a trick question, because I'll just say that the least popular headmaster of Hogwarts, Phineas, is Sirius's great, great grandfather. I'll wait for confirmation, though. laugh.gif

Jerry, falling in the trap if there is one biggrin.gif

Good luck.

Posted by: Yoda Jul 5 2005, 09:26 PM

EXPELLIMELLIUS!!!!!!!!

How long have I been thinking of this? Well, I finally got the answer after noticing a threadbare carpet similar to Grimmauld Place, and then everything clicked.

Okay, Jerry - revenge!

How long has Cho been a Tornadoes fan?

Posted by: Jerry Jul 11 2005, 09:09 PM

Since she became six-years-old? Or just for six years? (I'm not sure which one it is)

Posted by: hockeygod Apr 2 2006, 12:54 AM

Well, since no one else will tell you Jerry, I will look it up.

*Grabs the right book and finds the answer*

Cho has been a Tornadoes fan since she was six years of age.

Give us a question oh Musical Chemist.

Posted by: Jerry Apr 16 2006, 05:55 AM

And after waiting for the answer about 9 months, I shall. biggrin.gif

Q: What was the detention Harry had to do for talking back to Snape

Posted by: hockeygod Apr 23 2006, 03:28 AM

Well all Death-Eaters tortured muggles, but Antonin Dolohov did something especially vile. What was it?
