The other day we were playing an HP trivia game that wasn't like your tipical one. the only way you'd get them right is if you really read HP many, many times. Anyway here's how this works, someone posts the question and if you know the answer, post it followed by an obscure question of your own.
Here goes mine:
No cheating!
What town do Nicholas Flamel and his wife live in?
shit nallym, that's not fair! give us the damn answer, or I'll read the book again, chap 13 book 1, right?
little hangleton?
Nope! They live in devin!
Next question:
What did the Dursley's give harry for christmas in his forth year?
I think there should be a set amount of time for people to answer. For example, say people have two or three days to answer this question. Give people a chance to read the boards. I mean, I just now saw this post.
Alright you've got a point there, how about exactly a day after it was posted? Given that no one's answered it of course.
Didn't Harry always get old socks from them or something? Or am I totally wrong? If so you can laugh about me. Lol
Lol. nope. That was for first year birthday. A pair of uncle vernon's old, mustard colored socks along with a coat hanger. try again.
He didn't get anything. The Dursleys never gave him anything for his birthday accept for those socks.
Nope. the question was what did he get for christmad of forth year. sorry.
wasn't it something like a 50 pents piece?
I don't know witch year since my copy of book four messed up but once they gave him a tooth pick, and once a cleanex.
I'd say toothpick
I think it was a coin, something with very low value. . Really cool trivia game, it's a challange.
That's what I said something like a 50 pence piece or something like that, but they haven't said if that's right or not yet. <sad face>
Alright guys, I've been niglecting this board, but here we go with the answer... It was: a tissue! So congrats to Siera who sort of got it. He got a tissue because of the Dudly insident with the ton tongue taffy, which brings me to my next question: How long was dudly's tongue before Uncle Vernon let Mr. Wheasley fix it??? And yall are forgetting to include a question with your answer, I can only come up with so many obscurities...
4 feet long
Good job Garret! Gives you a free copy of the yet to be released or even written book seven. Anyway, I'll come back with a question, or maybe one of you will, can't think just now.
Random question then..... What port key did Harry and the weesleys travel back on from the world cup?
a boot on the way, a tire back, I think
haha I love this topic! It really just makes you want to go back and read all the books again!! heheh But yeah. I thought I was a true HP fan until I couldn't think of the answers to a couple of these questions. lol But I think you are right, Garret. Here's a question. Don't know if it's that chalenging but here goes. What kind of car did the Weasleys own in the second book? Know the answer anyone?
it's a ford, can't bother looking up the spelling at this moment, but it's a ford
oh...and btw, I can spell, I just don't want to be wrong on account of my spelling
Describe Lily's wand. How long was it and what was it made of?
no one cares, that's not the question that is up now
O fuck off.
no thanks, I don't feel like it at this time, you little bitch
I might be a bitch, but at least I don't talk shit.
well, 99% of the shit I talk is made on simple observation. I observe that you are nothing more than a twat that is annoyed by anything and everything. Not to mention, you seem to be interested in the shit I talk, as you just took me off ignore! So, this has now gone far from the topic in question, and hasn't taught us anything but for the fact that I'm an ass, and you're a twat.
It's interesting how, nothing, when it comes to the majority of board posts on here, can stay on subject and avoid being turned in to a bitch fest between at least two people. What the hell is wrong with you lot?
I agree sugar. It's really sad to see how such a cool topic turned into an ugly pointless argument. Anyway, I think the car was a ford Anglia. It was great how the kids got it to fly. :) I would like to know the answer to the question about Lilly's wand. I don't even remember where it was mentioned.
All I did was post a question and then that guy... whatever.
yes, you posted a question, are you fuckin stupid? now, we know the answer is yes, because you didn't wait!
All I did was post a question and then you started bitching at me. I wasn't going to bitch, but you said something, so I'm not just going to let people talk shit to me and not say anything back. So he's the reason we got off topic sorry people.
actually, she and I are the reason we got off topic.
Ah the goodness that is zone posting on the boards. Love it! anyway, order in the court or I'll go all our favorite greasy haired bastard snapish on you! Anyway, as the car question got answered, I'll answer Maria's. It's made of willow, good for charms, and I believe it was 9 inches. or seven....
ok then, back to the game
Oh how wierd! I wrote a post but it's not here.. The things computers do sometimes... Anyway, here's a question:
What's the name of the plant Nevil brought to Hogwarts in the sixth year?
Good luck!
hahahaha I go away for a wweek, and come back to typical zone drama, lol. Ok I suck at spelling seeing as how I have the books on tape, but the plant is a memble membitonia or something like that.
something similar, yes
ok, I'm going to try it again. membulus membetonia.
wow! jaws came close to saying that right, I'd say you got it
cool, that's what I was shooting for. lol. I guess that makes it my turn... um.... drums fingers on desk... ah ok got it. How many times was wendolyn the weird burned at the stake?
Actually, Neville brought a Mimbulus Mimbletonia back to Hogwarts with him in their fifth year, not the sixth year Firebolt. That was the year they travelled to Kings, Cross in the ministry cars with the Weasley family again and Malfoy attacked Harry on the train. He actually smashed Harry's face in.
OK, here's a good question. Hope you've all read HBP by now. What was the task which Voldemort gave Draco Malfoy to do, without fail, why did his mother Narcissa think Voldemort gave Draco this task to do and what will happen now Draco has failed to carry out the deed?
Yes that's right, it was the fifth year, not sixth. Sorry about that. The task Voldemort gave Malfoy was to kill Albus Dumbledore. Malfoy's mother thought this task was given to her son who's too young to perform such a complicated thing as a revenge for her husband Lucius ' bad conduct at the ministry when he failed to get the proffecy. Narsisa thought, and she's probably right, that Voldemort never really counted on Draco to succeed. He thought Draco would die in the attempt to kill Dumbledore. In the end Snape came to his aid as he vowed to do. Voldemort said he'd kill Draco if he fails, and I am sure he means it. What will happen next? We'll have to wait for book 7 and see.
Hmm, wendalin the weird. I believe it was 47 times. Good question! Now, what were the exact words to the first spell ron ever atempted to use?
I think it was winggardium leviosa. Sorry if the spelling is wrong. I listen to the books with mp3 files.
Oh and it actually worked. It saved Hermione from the trol.
damn nallym! I'd be right if I could spell harry potter things worth a shit!
Nope nope, people. That was the first spell he used that worked. I'll remind of you of the chapter aboard the hogwarts express when Harry and Ron are beginning to get to know each other. Ron is about to show harry a spell that fred and george showed him, a false one of course, and it went: "Sunshine daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid, fat rat yellow."
Oh yes, good one! Speaking of Fred and George, when Harry Hermione and the Weasleys visited the twins joke shop in Diagon alli,, what was the first thing that caught their attention at the window?
It was the Day Dream charms, all you ever wanted and only a thirty minute spell at a time or something to that effect. Ok, what was the paiting of, that announced the arrival of The Minister of Magic, to the English Prime Minister?
No, you are wrong It was the sign that said Why are you worrying about You know who, You should be worrying about You know poo, the constipation sensation that is gripping the Nation. So there!
Now here is my question. What did Voldemort say to dumbledor about people reactions to what he had been doing?
Er, would this be in HBP chapters 11 or 20? Are we talking about the boy Voldemort or the adult Lord Voldemort?
That question didn't exactly make sense, could you please rewrite it?
Well, as the person hasn't rewritten their question, I'll have a go at this ask a question and share the answer later thing.
Can anyone tell us...
What the first thing Hermione ever did to lose grifindor points was?
Today is the third, but it's almost midnight eastern so, I'll leave this for about 3 days or so. by the seventh, for sure, expect an answer.
Blessed be,
Renee
She went looking for the troll because she thought she could handle it. Boy, was she wrong.
Where where the four founders of hogwarts from
Hint: Harry Potter and the Sorcerors Stone chapter seven name: "the sorting"
shouldn't this really be in the game pilor bord? it makes more sense
I think it should be in there, but I didn't come with this, but the answer to the question is Please forgive my spelling Slinthrin was from Fin Huffpuff was from Valley Griffendor was from Mure. and I can't think where Ravenclaw was from. so there yawl go some body else can answer the last part. Here's my question Who forced Snape out of Harry's mind during the aclumency lessons?
I think it was Harry, because only once, did he manage to see in to Snape's memories.
What were the shapes of Harry's Tea leaves.
Hint: Prisoner of Azkaban: there were more than four.
One of them was the Grim, right? can't remember the other three
Grim, skull, vulture, donkey, bolar hat, sun, and finally a soggy mess of brown stuff lol
What was the song sung by the Merpeople in GoF. Repeat it, not word for word but the best you can
"Come seek us where our voices sound,
"We cannot sing above the ground,
"an hour long you'll have to look,
"And to recover what we took.
"But past an hour, the prospect's black,
"Too late, it's gone, it won't come back."
Okay, I'm possitive that's correct. Write down the riddle given to Harry by the Sphinx in the maze during the Triwizard Tournament.
First think of someone
Who lives in disguise
Who deals in secret
And tells naught but lies
Then think of the thing #
that's last to mend
the middle of middle and end of the end
and lastly what is the sound often heard
in the search for a hard to find word
Now put them together
And answer me this
Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss?
Okay I think that's right and this is a really fun topic good on whoever thought of this one. anyway here's my question: this probably isn't that chalenging, but ... who was minister for magic before Fudge came to power?
Millisent Bagnold (forgive my spelling)
No, it's spelled right. Well done!
Ok here's another question: its not that hard but...: When is Harry's birthday?
july 31 at midnight?
yeah that's right. Like I said, not that hard. Here's another: who was the lady that got off the night bus looking like she was going to puke? hint: Prisonor of Azcaban
Madam Marsh
Ok Odd question but how many harry potter fanficts are on fanfiction.net?
let's see if I'm the only HP addict on fanfiction on the zone!
Alright unfair question I know but here's the answer.
300,090 Harry Potter fanficts on fanfiction.net
holy shit, I don't have time to count that many stories, anyway ... new question: What does the inscription on the frame of the Mirror of Erised say? hint: may have to look more carefully at the phrase. It is in English when you figure it out.
um, i have no idea? hehehe, wow, i like this board...
okay?
It is the mirror of desire.
Yes, it's a mirror of desire, but read the description that's etched in to the frame very carefully, and you'll see that it creates a sentence. and when I say read carefully, read very carefully, read forward, backward, if you have to
Okay, I can see that this game has ground to a halt. The inscription on the mirror of Erised is:
I show not your face, but your heart's desire.
yes who ever said madam marsh is right... sorry its taken so long to get back... here's another 1: what were all the horcruxes and where were the founed? (no cheeting)
they were, the diary, the snake, the diadom of raydenclaw, the hafulpof cup, the locket, Harry, and the ring. The cup, the diadome and the cup came from the school, the locket came from that lake, the diary came from the chamber of secrets, the snake was in the forest, the ring was in Hary's snitch, and Harry in the school. Now, who send the dementors to harry's house in the fifth book?
professor umbridge, and no, the cup came from Bellatrix's vault in Gringots.
oh yeah! I couldn't remember where all those things had come from. But the cup had to come from the school to get to the bank right?
No, the cup had to have been stolen from hepzibah Smith, after her house elf, Hoakey was put in Azkaban. Tom Riddle implanted every detail of Hepziba's murder in the house elf's mind, and then when the deed was done, he came back for the cup and the locket, giving the cup to bellatrix. How Hepsibah got it, i wouldn't know.
well the ring was actually found at morvello gaunt's house. sorry for the spelling
close ehough How was Hedwig killed, and where/ again, no cheating
Let me try that again. The spelling's close enough. how was Hedwig killed, and when? again, no cheating
she was killed in the battle while harry was trying to escape the durslies (sorry for spelling), and she wask killed by the killing curse. she was in her cage in the sidecar that harry was riding in along side hagrid on the motercycle
Who is "R.A.B?"
R.A.B is Regulus Arcturus Black. What did Harry see in probably his last-ever vision of the night his parents died when he and Hermione visited Godricks Hollow? Quite a long-winded and tricky, I know.
Jen.
I meant, quite a long-winded and tricky question BTW.
I am not sure, but I think he saw lord voldemor killing his parents. Now, what was the song that the slethering quidditch team sang while Ron was keeper? (5th book )
"Weasly is Our King"
Name twelve of Voldemort's supporters.
weezly was born in a bin, he always lets the quoffel in, that's why slitherins all sing, weezly is our king. When did harry discover the real locket for the first time, and where was it.
seems like the last question wasn't answered, 12 voldemor supporters: 1. lucious 2. Velatrix 3. Narcisa 4. yacksley 5. Wormtail 6. delahove (not sure on the spelling at all) 7. Batty Crouch 8. Professor coral or however you spell it 9. grayback 10 the son of mr Crouch 11. the dormstrang head master 12. the Caros. And as for the second question, the locket was first seen by Harry in Grimold place. Now, who helped Harry figure out how to get through the second task? (4th book) Sorry about the spelling of all these names and places but like many of you guys I read these books in audio.
Dobby gave Harry Gillyweed at practically the last minute possible before the second task.
How many doors, in the Department of mysteries, did Hary, ron, and the others open before they found the room that had all those clocks and the bell jar in it, the room that would take them to the place where the you-know-what was hidden? rather awkwardly worded, but there you go
I don't know, a whole bunch!
Well, i don't think there was a specific number in there that we could figure out easily, so that one may not be fair.
hmm, i think it was just two, the brain room and the veil one but i'm not certain.
no, I'm pretty sure it was two because they passed the brain room and the one room that couldn't be opened and then they got to the clock room
There were around twelve doors in the circular room in the Department Of Mysteries, and Harry, when he had that last vision of the night his parents died, when he was in Bathilda Bagshot's house was as follows.
James and Harry were in the Potters' living room, I think Harry was looking up at James and doing all the natural things babies will do when they're happy, Lily comes in and carries Harry upstairs, puts him in his cot, then Voldemort turns up, so she heaves a load of heavy boxes and a chair or two in front of the bedroom door. Meanwhile, downstairs, James is shouting, hoping Lily'll just take Harry and run for it while he holds Voldemort off them, but Voldemort then murders James where he's stood on his front step. Voldemort then proceeds in to the cottage, past the pram parked in the hall, he climbs the stairs, for we're certain he knows Lily's barricaded herself in the bedroom/nursery, so he probably blasted open the door, flicked the boxes, chairs and things to one side with his wand, Lily tries to defend Harry, refuses to stop shielding her son from Voldemort, so Voldemort kills her too with Harry looking on from his cot, thinking this is just a game and his mother'll get up again in a minute, but then he must see Voldemort's face and even to a one-year-old boy, it looked as if Harry would be his next victim who didn't survive the killing curse, so he starts to cry as Voldemort raises his wand ready to kill him, but as we all know, the curse rebounded and well, it didn't exactly kill Voldemort, it just turned him in to something rather like Gollum from Lord Of The Rings.
I can't really think of another question off the top of my head right now, so I'll probably post again if one springs to mind.
Jen.
I don't think he was like golim, because golim was more crazy and all, the curse turned him like weak and all
No no, I meant, well, the thing that replaced Voldemort's body when the curse rebounded.
Name all of the characters who died, including those that are nonhuman, in the final book. i'll make this even more challenging: Please, do this in chronological order.
Alastair (Mad-eye) Moody, Charity Burbage, Colin Creevey, Dobby, Fred Weasley, Nymphadora Tonks, Remus Lupin, Rufus Scrimjeour, Tom Marvolo Riddle. Methinks that's all of them anyway, lollol.
Jen.
You've forgotten Ted Tonks, and Charity Burbage died before Mad-Eye Moody. Hedwig also passed on, but she died before Moody.
You also forgot Vinsint Crab.
What was the fire called that Crab conjered in the room of requirement when Harry was trying to get the horcrux?
Something to do with salamanders? Lol! Only read it once, and referenced that part once.
How old was Dumbledore at the beginning of the first book. (not in books, out side sources)
