  2. well I guess someone beat me to the punch but, I spent the time at work to answer these questions, so I figure I might as well.
    1. What is the name of Neville's toad? Trevor
    2. Without looking, can you recite the first sentence of the first book? The Dursleys of number 4 privet drive were proud to say that they were completely normal, thank you very much.
    3. What is the name of the goblin who helped Harry in the first and last book? Griphook
    4. What is the core of Harry's wand? Holly and phoenix feather
    5. What is the name of the Weasley's owl? Hermes
    6. Who was Harry's first captain while on the Gryffindor quidditch team? Oliver Wood
    7. What are the seven horcruxes? (bonus if you say the "8th") The Gaunt’s Locket and Ring, Ravenclaw’s diadem, Hufflepuff’s cup, the diary, Nagini the snake, and Harry himself. The eight is Voldemort himself.
    8. What are screaming plants are called? Mandrakes
    9. Which Deathly Hallow did Hermione, Ron, and Harry each say would be the best to have? I remember Ron saying that the unbeatable wand would be really valuable, but I think in the end they all preferred the cloak?
    10. What is the name of Mr. Crouch's house elf? Winky
    11. The Defense Against the Dark Arts teaching position is thought to be cursed. Name all the teachers who occupied the position through the Harry Potter series. Quirrell, Lockhart, Lupin, Moody, Umbridge, Snape, Carrow.
    12. What is Snape's patronus? Hermione's? Doe, otter
    13. What are the nicknames used by the Marauders? Wormtail, Moony, Padfoot, Prongs
    14. Who wrote Hogwarts: A History? Bathilda Bagshot
    15. What did Harry use to be able to swim underwater during the Triwizard Tournament? Gillyweed
    16. What is the cure to the dementor's influence? Chocolate
    17. How did Harry, Ron, and Hermione become friends? Because Harry and Ron saved Hermione from the troll in the girl’s bathroom.
    18. What is the title of Gilderoy Lockhart's autobiography? Magical Me
    19. Where was Harry borne? Godric’s Hollow
    20. How many times have you read the books? Like literally so many times that it’s embarrassing/I stopped counting. Rachel, I cross-reference my books with highlighters. It’s embarrassing.

    1. Oh. My. Gosh. Celeste...that is the greatest thing I've ever heard. The thing is, as I read them over and over, I pick up on things earlier in the books that totally come back into play later. They are literally masterpieces. So cross-referencing with highlighters makes sense. Own it. Be proud. Because I am proud of you for it.

      And well done with the quiz. 20 points to Gryffindor! (While I think Hermes is technically Percy's personal owl and Errol is the Weasley family owl, I'm giving it to you because you knew exactly what I meant with the "8th" horcrux.

      Harry forever!

    1. Well done! Loving Harry Potter is not a sign of being a nerd, it is a sign of understanding what is most important.

  4. I got every single one. Except for the first sentence of the first book. I started reading them again two weeks ago and I'm almost done with the sixth one. HP Forever!!!
