Hello all, I have gotten Moderator approval for this thread. I hope you all enjoy it!! It is a true/false game for all the facts that have gone on in the HP series. The first person to answer a question correctly, earns the right to make up another HP based true/false question, and then any poster can answer, and if they answer correctly, then that person makes up a new question, and so on down the line. If an answer is false, then include the information that would make it true.

True/False:

In the Halfblood Prince, Nymphodora Tonks' patronus changes to the transformed form, of Sirius Black, now deceased.

False. Nymphadotra's patronus changes to the form of a werewolf, representing Lupin.

True/False

In the Order Of The Pheonix, Harry Potters' first words spoken are "get-off-me".

[EDIT] sorry about that ^ my brain is in the gutters : P

You must put a sentence that makes the statment true, if the statement is false. I put this in the topic starting post. You may not of seen, so I was just refreshing your memory.

the answer to your question:

True

I am going to bed, but I shall continue tomorrow. if i got it right, then just go to the next person that gets the right answer.

I'm not getting this game at all.



Could you elaborate on that a bit more please? I don't fully understand how you could make a false statmement true.



How could Lilianne makes that statement true when it is false in the first place? Tonks' patronus did change into a werewolf, not a dog, so therefore the answer to your question was False.



Again, how can you make a False statement True? If the answer is False/Wrong then it can't be made to be True because then the final answer would be wrong.



This question is both True and False. True because Sirius Black is dead and False because Tonks' patronus doesn't change into a dog. Is that what you mean about making a False statement True? Because honestly, this thread isn't going to go anywhere if that's the rule. Perhaps dropping that bit and just doing a True or False with no extra twists would make it better.

Hmm... I think what prince_halfblood_22 , means is if the statement is false then you need to say why it's false, like the one about Tonks' patronus taking the form of Sirius. You would say: False, Tonks' patronus takes the form of a werewolf, which is what Lilianne said anyway. So now the statement is true. Right?

Golden Pheonix has the idea, Triad. If a person says false to a question, he or she must put a statement that makes it true. also, disreguard the part that Black is dead. This part isnt the important part of the question. Tonks's patronus, is. What you would do, is put:

False: Nymphadora Tonks' patronus, changes into the werewolf form of Remus Lupin, because, she is in love with Remus, in the Halfblood Prince.

Does this answer your question, Triad? This twist puts more into the thread, so no, i am not dropping it out, unless all the mods team up, and say that I should. I on the other hand, do not want to drop it out, it adds extra excitement to the answers, we cant just put, True, then the question thinker, say, your right so and so, your turn. That is not what i watn in this thread. I want descriptive informative answers, if they are false. Also, I am changing this thread, I want informative answers for both, true and false answers.
EXP: True or False, In the OotP, harry's first words are "get off me!", this would be a true answer, he said this when Vernon was strangling him, when he thought that Harry had made the Crack noise, and when he had his wand out, Vernon said "Put it away boy!!". This is my answer to lilianne's true/false question. Okay, I know this is right, because, I have looked it up, after I posted my answer, and all parts of my answer are correct. I'll make another question.

True/False: Harry seen the Inferi, 3 times in the locket cave, in the Halfblood Prince.

Hmm... I think it's false, I'll back that up with some quotes.




So,if you're counting each of those as a different time (I think they all are) then Harry actually saw the Inferi four times in the cave.

Your correct, Golden Pheonix, your turn to make up a question. Good Job by the way, and you did it correct, by supporting your answer.

Thanks! Hmm, I have to find something good...

True or False?: On the middle page in OotP, in the British version, the first person to speak is Hagrid.

It's not really hard but it might take a while to find...

There you go, I've edited that so anyone who is now reading it shouldn't be too confused.

which edition do you mean? american or british?
because it may vary.
anyway, i have only the british version and in that book the statement is.....false.
harry was the first one to talk followed by hagrid, he actually asked hagrid if they got near any of the giants.

Oh, of course! There's different versions. I'm so stupid for forgetting that. I would change it, but you got it right MIKOH because I was talking about the British version... that was lucky wasn't it? Really sorry if I confused anyone. Right, It's your turn MIKOH.

Er, in the English version, the US, I mean, that isnt true. Harry is the first person to respond, but not to ask hagrid if he got near the giants.

" Hagrid, it's us!"~Harry. Then Hagrid replies,

" Shoulda known!"~Hagrid

That is the very first time that something is said in the chapter, and it is in the middle of the book, so this would be the right information, i am not sure if this is in the UK verion or not, but, if it is, then Mikoh's information would be wrong. The answer would be right, but the info, wouldnt be. so in the future, try to put the exact information you are looking for, ok, golden pheonix. Like you said the "Middle of the book, you should have said, the first words spoken in the chapter, Hagrid's Tale, is spoken by hagrid.true/false.

Thanks,

~~Prince~~

ok, then i think it's my turn after all, isn't it?

true or false:

hagrid's mother's name is fridwulfa.

Hmm.. yes, I realised I made a mistake. Anyway, in both versions it is Harry who speaks first so I guess it doesn't matter. MIKOH, I believe that is...

True!

I think, actually I could be wrong. Could someone else post for me though if I'm right, because I'm going in a minute to sleep That's meant to be a yawn but it doesn't look like one... Okay, there's me sleeping!

Golden Pheonix's True answer to your question, was indeed, correct, Mikoh. It was said in the prophet, the day after hagrid asked Maxime what side the giant blood was on, in her family. Okay, ill post a question for Pheonix, since she/he is a sleep.

True/False:

In SS/PS, harry became a white knight, hermione a white king, and ron, a white bishop, inside McGonagall's Chess Challenge.

ummm...... i think.....false.

because ron was the knight, harry the white king or the castle and hermione white bishop.

You are right that its false, but not on the statement making it true. Ill give a hint. All three of them were black pieces, not white. and, you have Ron's piece right, but not harry and hermione's

Okay....

QUOTE(Ron in Philosoher's Stone)

"Well, Harry, you take the place of that bishop, and Hermione you go next to him instead of that castle"..."I'm going to be a knight."

So, there you go, Ron was a black knight, Hermione a black castle and Harry a black bishop.
But I guess it is MIKOHs go now anyway, just thought I'd say the correct statement.

By the way, I'm a girl prince _halfblood_22.

Golden Pheonix, Mikoh, did get the question right, she did say False, so I must be fair and award her the right to make a question. Also, you were correct with the statement making it true. Ron was indeed the black knight, hermione definately, the black rook, and finally, harry was indeed a black bishop. Nice to know that your a Female by the way.

P.S. Please call me, Prince, Severus, or Greg. Oh, wait, Greg, won't do, there is already a Greg within VTM<Gaburdette>.

Thanks,

~~Prince~~

ok, thanks prince but by the way I AM A BOY. you really have a problem with figuring out sexes don't you?

ok and for the question:

true or false:

the first thing that got out of voldemort's wand in priori incantatem was wormtail's hand.

True, it went the hand, then cedric, then frank bryce, then bertha jorkins, then harry's mum, and last, harry's dad.*sobs* sorry, that part gets me, when he is talking to his mum and dad.

thanks,

~~Prince~~

True or false:
The following in the correct order of task 4.
Cederic, Victor, Fleur, Harry

True.

There is no task 4. In formal logic, a false assumption will always yield a true statement though.

This thread isnt going according to how I planned it. The ordering runs like this. Okay, first someone askes true or false question. Then someone answers. If the answer is a false one, then that person must put the statement that would make it true. Then, if the answerer gets the question right, he/she is to make up a true/false question to be answered. Finally it keeps going on and on, in this order. I was supposed to get a chance to make up a question, because, I got the one Mikoh asked, right. So, if you would please, for all of the people who have asked questions after my answering post, strike them. It is my turn to come up with a question. So, if you would, be so kind, answer this one, and then the person that gets it right, has a right to make up a new question.

True or False:

Sir Nicolas De Mimsey Porpington, was the first ghost that the First Years seen, in the Entrance Hall during the Trio's First Year at Hogwarts.

Woah there! Relax, Prince, this thread is just about having fun, so there's no need to get so defensive. You didn't ask the question when you had the chance, so naturally the other two just continued with the game. If you insist on making the next statement, I'm sure they'd be ok with it. No need to strike anything out.

(Btw, AtB, interesting that about formal logic! )

I don't have a clue whether your next statement is true or false though, Prince, so just carry on everyone.

Sorry about that Capricorn, I did go off my rocker on my last post. I just a bit upset on my posting history. I am very stressed at the moment. Now then, can we continue with my question, or should we wait for the one that Ladybear, has asked? Any thoughts, Capricorn?

Many Appologies,

~~Prince~~

It's fine to go ahead with your statement about the ghosts, Prince. I'm sure no one will mind.

sorry, I thought that I would quote it, as there was a few posts inbetween

I'm not entirely sure but I think that it was the Sir Nicolas De Mimsey Popington but it wasn't in the entrace hall (according to the film version - sorry I don't have my book to hand, I've been re-reading OotP so I haven't seen my copy of the first one in over a month), so the statement was False, with regards to the location

Sir Nicolas de Mimsey Popington was the first ghost that the first years see in the Great Hall during the trios first year at Hogwarts, he pops his head up through the table (Film version)

However, it might have been the fat friar in the entrance hall in the books (I can't honestly remember), I think that he was arguing about Peeves

Yes, you are partially right, Velvet. But not entirely
can anyone tell me why she is only half right? it is your go now though Velvet, since after all the part that you did get right, was true in some extent.

Thanks, sorry about not responding sooner, its been hectic here

I really have no idea which particular bit was wrong (probably most of it, it was largely a guess *blushes*) go on tell me, you know you want to I really am too lazy to track down my book to find out for myself (hey I'm a student, lazy is in my nature )

The statement (although not very challenging) is

Velvet, we dont really have enough info on your statement. The only bit we know of when Harry was a baby, was when him and his parents were attacked by LV.

Now, for why you werent entirely correct on you answer. The first years seen 20 or so ghosts, so, all of them were seen at the same time. There are only 4 that we can name for sure. The house ghosts are as follows:

Sir Nicholas De Mimsey Porpington
The Fat Friar
The Grey Lady
The Bloody Baron

Thanks,

~~Prince~~

True, since Peves was considered a potergist.

The Grey Lady is the offical ghost of Hufflepuff House.

Is that your question, Lady Bear? If it is I shall answer to it.

False, the Grey Lady, is the Ravenclaw House Ghost. The Hufflepuff House Ghost, is the Fat Friar.

Thanks,

~~Prince~~

with regards to my question, according to Wikipedia, it has been stated that Mrs Figg was Harry Potters sitter whilst he was a baby. Accordingly my statement was False. However, I must admit that I am somewhat uncertain as to where this is actually stated within the books, However, Wikipedia does typically employ the use of valid references. Anyway, sorry about that, I think up a better question next time (I'm hiding behind the excuse that it was my first attempt at presenting such a question )

Thanks for clearing up the issue concerning my answers partial correctness, I didn't even consider differentiating between House Ghosts and non-house ghosts (I'll blame sleep depravation, thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it , Welcome to Velvets' emporian where you can find a ready made excuse for every occasion )

Yes, your right, Velvet, even in the books, it states this. It is in SS/PS. When it is telling us of the going ons on Dudley's Birthday. We were told that in the past, Figg would watch Harry, whenever the Dursley's, would go on a family outing. So, from this, we must all deduce, that this was true, when Harry was a baby too. Okay, I think that it is Ladybear's turn to answer my question to her question.

Thanks,

~~Prince~~

Yeah for you!!!!!!!!!

Now it's your turn and yes that was my question

Sorry, it may be the holiday cheer, or the fact that I somehow just managed to hand in my first PhD assignment on deadline( and I do mean just, it was a little rushed near the end ), but given the aforementioned quote, and statements - I fail to see how my question presented a problem?

You previously stated that not enough information has been presented to answer it,
However, you subsequently presented documented references to where information has been provided on this subject (first quote)

Sorry, I'm just trying to learn for next time and I really can't see where I went wrong, albeit a somewhat random question, there is, nevertheless, appropriate information concerning it within the books and associated websites.

I sort of got the idea, that it may relate to the 'Hagrid' aspect, in that, we have neither evidence for or against Hagrid being Harrys' babysitter at some point, thus deeming the statement true or false would be somewhat problematic - is that it.

If so, I guess I'll have to think more clearly (The house/ghosts experience again) - thinking in a linear style ignoring possible alternatives). For example, should I have directly stated that Hagrid was the only babysitter of harry, making it more specific. Actually, even in my rather dubious state, that makes a little more sense

Am I on the right track?

False he picked him up from his parents house and gave him to dumbledore where he left Harry on His aunt and Uncle's door but Hagrid would have had liked to be his sitter as he was crying when he had to give Harry up.

sitter i don't know..but i'm pretty sure that hagrid brought harry to the dursley's house

I’ll start a new one!
T/F – Seamus calls his mother ‘mum’

False seamus calls his mother mam

t/f dumbledore's brother was called aberforth and could not read

TRUE!!!
T/F- What was Mundungus caught stealing by Harry in Hogsmeade?

I think Mundungus gets caught by Harry stealing a bag full of stuff like cups with the Black family crest??

T/F Mafalda Hopkirk mails Harry after he 'supposedly' performed illegal magic in CoS?

True. She also owls him two other times in OotP.

T/F - Harry successfully performed the Patronus charm on the first try in OotP when the dementors were after him and Dudley.

False! He only emmits whisps until the third try.

T/F The first thing Fred and George pocket in the House of Black is a dead doxy

True, Fred pocketed the Doxy he was "Playing" with before spraying it with Doxicide, then pocketing it.

True/False: Dumbledore used Expelliarmus on Harry, in order to freeze him, and keep him hidden, in the HBP.

Erm..false I think. MALFOY uses Expelliarmus to disarm Dumbledore. Expelliarmous is not a freezing charm.

T/F In OoTP, Arthur Weasley refers to plumbers as "pumbles"

that is right, Romilda, but you did not give me the correct name for the charm wich Dumbledore did use on Harry, I know it didnt say but it is quite easy to conclude what spell he did use, as previous books mention this spell quite a bit. Ill give you all a hint, the spell was used in the ministry fray near the and of OotP.

Now to answer Romilda's question: True, he said this in his and Perkins office, while reading a memo that another toilet in a muggle town was overflowed by a muggle baiter.

True/False: While Harry's rampage of Dumbledore's office, after the ministry fray, he breaks the last time turner in the wizarding world.

Ah! Sorry Prince..I didn't realise you wanted the exact charm but I THINK that it's imobullus (sp?)


As for your true/false question....I think that I am correct to say that we actually don't know. Harry destroyed all of the Time Turners in stock at the Ministry and it says that he threw a "delicate silver object" in Dumbledore's office but we are forgetting Hermione's. We do not know for sure whether Hermione still has hers and so it is an unanswerable question...I think!! Please correct me if I'm wrong!!!

T/F Rose Zeeler was sorted into Hufflepuff in OoTP

The spell that Dumbledore used to freeze Harry, was called the, Full Body Bind, (AKA: Petrifictus Totalus- Means to totally or fully petrify/freeze).

Romilda, I am surprised you seen the real answer to my last t/f question. Bravissimo!!! Anyways, there is a bit to what you said about Hermione's Time Turner. We do not know if she was allowed to keep it after PoA or not. So, therefore, I am thinking that Dumbledore kept that one, for her safe keeping if she ever was to need it once more. This silver object, cannot be the time turner that was destroyed, in Dumbledore's office, because, I think that it is described as being golden. Of course, I have to read my PoA, to know for sure if I am correct in saying this.

Answer to Romilda's question: Answer Pending- Looking for copy of OotP.

Thanks,

~~Prince~~
