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

"Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of Number 4, Privet Drive [in Little Whinging], were happy to say that they were perfectly ordinary, thank you very much." - HP1

"To the villagers of Little Hangleton it would always be known as 'The Riddle House'." - HP4

Don't remember any of the others, though HP2 opens, I think, with Harry in the garden? Hp3 with Harry in his bedroom, HP5 with Harry in a park somewhere, HP6 in the (Muggle) PM's offices, and HP7 opens with Snape and (?)Yaxley walking towards Malfoy Manor.

Both given answers are so close that I'll say they're right. I'll give the chapter titles if it helps anyone.

The Philosopher's Stone - The Boy Who Lived: Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of Number 4, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. (BFM_three60)
The Chamber of Secrets - The Worst Birthday:
The Prisoner of Azkaban - Owl Post:
The Goblet of Fire - The Riddle House: The villagers of Little Hangleton still called it 'the riddle House', even though it had been many years since the Riddle family had lived there. (BFM_three60)
The Order of the Phoenix - Dudley Demented:
The Half-Blood Prince - The Other Minister:
The Deathly Hallows - The Dark Lord Ascending:

HP5 doesn't open in a park, but goes to one a few pages in - however, the film opens in a park. And no, HP1 is NOT called The Sorcerer's Stone. Apparently US publishers thought that a 'Philosopher' wasn't exciting enough, or that they wouldn't understand it.

A quick question
cos i have no idea what those answers are
the name of the ministry official who investigates the gaunt house in dumbledores memory

[Marty]

Bob Ogden, head of the Dpt of Magical Law Enforcement. Probably related to Tiberius Ogden, a member of the Wizengamot in 1995.

Marty i think it is time to throw some more of our challenge questions in
What age do unicorns turn
gold
silver
white

[BFM_Xtr3me]

ok, seriously where in the books or movies are these things written/said?

6 months springs to mind, also I think female unicorns might be a different colour at birth or something?

ok, seriously where in the books or movies are these things written/said?

Oh you can find them, it's all in there. All the answers I've given are from memory, since a) I don't have copies of the books with me, and b) I seriously couldn't be bothered looking up the other ones.

I always say (well, truth be told this is the first time I've said it) that Marty knows more about what the books say than I do (and indeed anything else we've both watched/ read/ listened to), but that I know more about what the books mean. Possibly.

[Marty]

I always say...that Marty knows more about what the books say than I do, but that I know more about what the books mean. Possibly.

Hmm...thank you and...er...no, thank you?

ok, seriously where in the books or movies are these things written/said?

Which question? Bob Ogden is found in Prince in the chapter The House of Gaunt. The details about unicorns are found in both Goblet in the chapter The Second Task and, most likely, in the charity book Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them.

I'll give the first few words of each chapter...

The Philosopher's Stone - The Boy Who Lived: Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of Number 4, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. (BFM_three60)
The Chamber of Secrets - The Worst Birthday: Not for the first time...
The Prisoner of Azkaban - Owl Post: Harry Potter...
The Goblet of Fire - The Riddle House: The villagers of Little Hangleton still called it 'the riddle House', even though it had been many years since the Riddle family had lived there. (BFM_three60)
The Order of the Phoenix - Dudley Demented: The hottest...
The Half-Blood Prince - The Other Minister: It was nearing midnight...
The Deathly Hallows - The Dark Lord Ascending: The two men...

OK, well no-one seems to know the others, so here they are...

The Philosopher's Stone - The Boy Who Lived: Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of Number 4, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. (BFM_three60)
The Chamber of Secrets - The Worst Birthday: Not for the first time, an argument had broken out over breakfast at number four, Privet Drive.
The Prisoner of Azkaban - Owl Post: Harry Potter was an unusual boy in many ways.
The Goblet of Fire - The Riddle House: The villagers of Little Hangleton still called it 'the riddle House', even though it had been many years since the Riddle family had lived there. (BFM_three60)
The Order of the Phoenix - Dudley Demented: The hottest day of the summer so far was drawing to a close and a drowsy silence lay over the large, square houses of Privet Drive.
The Half-Blood Prince - The Other Minister: It was nearing midnight and the Prime Minister was sitting alone in his office, reading a long memo that as slipping through his brain without leaving the slightest trace of meaning behind.
The Deathly Hallows - The Dark Lord Ascending: The two men appeared out of nowhere, a few yards apart in the narrow, moonlit lane.

Grow Horns at Four
Turn White at Seven
