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?

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


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

Ten Galleons


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

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


Who was the centaur that first threatened Dolores Umbridge?

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

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.

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

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 )

Very thorough, Yoda


Here is a meticulous question:

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

I believe Transylvania scored 21 goals.

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


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?

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

(i had to look up one )


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

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?

That would be Gilbert Wimple of the Commitee on Experimental Charms (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, take over Procrastination Station

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


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

'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)

That would be Abergavenny.


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

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)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand because I forgot to put in a question:

What is the only spell known to repel a Lethifold?

Yoda,

Is it the Patronus Charm?

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

Thanx for the eyebrow

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?

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?

Dedalus Diggle, of course

This one is a little tricky, too:

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

Good Luck.

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

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

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!

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

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

Is it

[*memory*]

Quentin Trimble?

[/*memory*]

Onnnnnnnnnnne Hundred Percent Correct! New question from you Jerry!

Okay, an easy one...


Who was the gamekeeper before Hagrid?

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?

The Marauders?

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

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)?

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

Yoda, any more?

Nope, you're completely correct!

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

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

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?

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

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

And we continue...

Name all of Gilderoy Lockhart's books.


warning: trick question...

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?

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

When does Professor McGonagall call Harry by his first name?

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

Is it opera-lover ?

*hands out eyebrows by the dozen*

Absolutely correct - thank you, and good night!

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


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

Good Luck.

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...

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 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

'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


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

"A branch o' Gubraithian Fire"

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

The next question:

How did Mrs. Figg first describe the dementors?

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

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