Harry Potter Quiz (house points available!)

[Holly Golightly]

Ravenclaw too, but our are in a new thread.... one that makes sense this time!!!

Just waiting on you Paul!

*And possibly Griffindor!*

[Paul]

Yes, not all Houses have fully answered yet.

[Holly Golightly]

Ohhhhhhh, but I'm dying to know!!!

*and dreading studying... so I'm procrastinating!!!*

[Sacred Guardian]

hurry up, if people cant make the deadline, then oh well, we just want the answers

[Holly Golightly]

Well, I know that it's 11pm here, but in GMT... I think 1pm???
So they still have 3 hrs left 12321...

*unless I really can't add!!! *

[Mint]

Please calm down everybody, Gryffindor reported that their answers have been eaten by a ChickeN!!!!!

We are in the process of investigating.

[Holly Golightly]

I know...
I SENT THE CHICKEN!!!
MAH-HUH-HUH-HUH-HUH-HUH

hehehe!!!

*hey, we need to get some points somehow!!! *

[Sacred Guardian]

ok, please stop with the chickens, keep it to the common rooms and zonkos

[Holly Golightly]

sorry...

[han lin]

ok so when is the deadline?

[Paul]

Well, the deadline was 4.00PM GMT (just over 6 hours ago) soooo...here we go with the results (I'm working them out as I write this so it'll be a surprise for me too!).

Before we get to the scores, the answers to the questons are...
1. In what year was dragon breeding outlawed?
1709

2. How many points did Viktor rum receive at the end of the second task?
40

3. What was Warlock D.J. Prod of Didsbury's problem?
His wife would sneer at his feeble charms

4. Who took the chunk out of Moody's nose?
Evan Rosier

Okies, in alphabetical order, Gryffindor scored one correct answer (number 2), one incorrect answer (having answered number 4 as Karkaroff) and 2 non-answers, giving Gryffindor 2 points for their correct answer, but giving Slytherin 6 points for the one incorrect answer and 2 non-answers.

Hufflepuff got a perfect score of all answers correct, so Hufflepuff score 8 points and give zero points to Slytherin.

Ravenclaw also scored a perfect set of correct answers, givng Ravenclaw 8 points whilst giving no points away to Slytherin.

Which means that this quiz's total scores are:
Hufflepuff 8 points
Ravenclaw 8 points
Slytherin 6 points
Gryffindor 2 points

But...where does this leave the overall leader board? Well, adding these points to the running total, the overall points are now:

Slytherin 65
Hufflepuff 48
Gryffindor 41
Ravenclaw 18

Which means that Slytherin are still out there in the lead, with Hufflepuff having slightly narrowed the gap, and Ravenclaw galliantly doing their best to catch up from behind. It's getting close to the end of the school year, but there's still a chance for everyone to get a whole lot more points and, as discussed elsewehere on the forum, there are likely to be hidden bonus points available from the next quiz onwards.


Seeing as it was a draw for top points this time between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, I'll let Slytherin (the House who set the questions) vote in their Common Room on whether Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw should set the next quiz.

Congratulations everyone - all Houses scored at least some points again this time, so well-done to all.

[Blaise Zabini]

We're currently employing our brilliant Slytherin logic to determine who should be next.

[Scellanis]

i hope that the next set of questions wont involve book 5

[Mint]

Thats what I was wondering.

[Blaise Zabini]

I definitely think that they shouldn't. A question would definitely ruin the book for anyone who hasn't read it! As I rule, I propose we wait a while before we incorporate OotP into the quizzes, ne?
