Obsessed with Harry Potter?[edit] the harry potter quiz thread

[Marty]

Marty's question: Was it Tiberius ogden?

Correct! Well, that's one of them...Tiberius Ogden and (who?) resigned in 1995 after Cornelius Fudge passed Education Decree Number Twenty-Three, creating the post of 'Hogwarts High Inquisitor'.

And I can only think of four house-elves mentioned by name, and two of them die - Dobby in Deathly Hallows and Hokey long before Harry was born.

i probably should have phrased my question better

i meant were alive during any of the books not all of the books

sorry for the confusion, Dobby is the third

[Marty]

Who resigns from the Wizengamot in Order of the Phoenix?

Tiberius Ogden and Madam Griselda Marchbanks both resigned in 1995 in protest against the creation of the post of Hogwarts High Inquisitor.

[Marty]

Just prior to the Third and final Task of the Triwizard Tournament, what did Fleur Delacour expect the task to involve?

[Marty]

Underground tunnels containing treasure which the champions had to find. Harry thought he'd just borrow a Niffler from Hagrid.

Anyone else feel like asking a question?

[BFM_Xtr3me]

well i would but you would know the answer straight away Marty as I don't ask questions about such details that you and a few others seem to know ;p

[Marty]

I'll give it three days before I answer! Honest!

[BFM_Xtr3me]

ok, i have just googled some of these so i dont know which book the answer would come from but here
and if the answers i got are wrong, then I will turn to Marty for the answers lol,
and you dont have to wait 3 days Marty ;p

1. What is Nearly Headless Nick's real name?

2. In which year did Dumbledore become headmaster?

3. What type of wizard is Harry's godfather? Eight letters

4. According to the Harry Potter books, what is the full name of Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?

5. What kind of ice cream treat did Harry get at the zoo in the 1st book?

[jim360]

1. Sir Nicolas de Mimsy-Porpington

2. That's a tough one. Armando Dippet was Headmaster 50 years before the events of Chamber of Secrets, so that would be 1942. Dumbledore was headmaster by at least 1980 and probably some ten or fifteen years before - I'll guess that he started in c. 1960, but I don't know.

3. Animagus (among other characteristics...)

4. Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore

5. Knickerbocker glory

[Marty]

Albus Dumbledore became Headmaster of Hogwarts in 1956, but this isn't included anywhere in the books or films - in fact, it only came to light within the past few months, from what I can find out, after JKR announced a new HP-related project which gives backstory to McGonagall (as she replaced Dumbledore as transfiguration teacher, the date she takes that post must be shortly after Dumbledore became headmaster).

And the rest of three60's answers are correct.

[BFM_Xtr3me]

yep, all questions are right except #5,
i got the 1st book just to be sure and that is not the ice cream treat he had (to my knowledge),
at least the one his aunt and uncle bought him anyway

as for the year, seeing how i did just copy and paste that question, the answer they gave was either 1956 or 1970 as it was unsure so ill stick with Marty for that one lol

Regarding question #5 - he does get to finish Dudley's first knickerbocker glory because he complained that it wasn't big enough. He also gets bought a 'cheap lemon ice lolly' from a stall. I can't remember anything else...

[BFM_Xtr3me]

ah, k
well i just looked for the 1st reference and then put the book away xd

and ye, the cheap lemon ice lolly was what i was looking for
