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 this quiz to test your CANNON knowledge. Have fun!

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

Next up?

Robert

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

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

QUOTE

Thanks for taking our quiz. You answered 100% of the questions correctly. You are Albus Dumbledore. You are truly the greatest wizard of the age.

w00t!

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

Yoda, tricky little blighter that I am (as well as being Dumbledore)

QUOTE

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.

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

Easy!

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

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

Robert AKA the Cuddlebear of Elenarda

Must....take...quizzzzzzz!!!!!

~Hershey~

Alrighty then....

QUOTE

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

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

Robert

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

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

Rictusempra?

(went and looked it up, am right. )

QUOTE

What are the doors to Gringotts made of?

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

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

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

Yoda, addled beyond addlement

QUOTE

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

The small cakes for Crabbe and Goyle in CoS.

Right in one!

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

The banshee that lost it's voice?

That was Seamus' boggart.

Right! Duh.

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

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

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

Kristin

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?

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

No spork for you! 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.

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?

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...

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.

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

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.

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?

Hugs Ron for saving Gabrielle! IIRC.

QUOTE

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

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

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!]

Too many to count, if I remember rightly.

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

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

What soccer team does Dean Thomas support?

West Ham, I think.


Which book did Harry get Hedwig's name from?

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?

The smallest one!

In Goblet, what clue does Cedric give Harry?

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)

QUOTE (Yoda @ Jul 13 2004, 06:42 PM)

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

I believe "a spider".

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

Thanx for the welcome

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

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?
