The password that Sir Cadogan made up that either Harry or Ron used to let themselves and Neville in was Oddsbodikins.
Hermione_Resilda
Yeah, good job. That's it.. I love typing that one out too. Took me forever to remember though. I learned it in the chat trivia game, and hated that question because I could never remember it.. Heh, anyways, your go.
slytherinlvr
you are right that it is fun to type out. Anyways, here is the question:

When was the Whomping Willow planted, what did the students used to try and do to the Whomping Willow, and because of that who almost had there eye poked out?
Hermione_Resilda
O, I love this one, lol. I should let others answer...but I can't resist. Let's hope I don't accidentally type in the wrong thing now that I'm excited..heh.

The Whomping Willow was planted the year that Remus Lupin came to Hogwarts. I think it was in 1971. The students tried to go in it, I think, and they poked at its stems. The boy was Davey Gudgeon that nearly lost his eye.
slytherinlvr
Hermione_Resilda, that is mostly right the only thing is that the students didn't try to go into the whomping willow. Sorry but it is incorrect.
Padfoot313
Well Hermione_REsilda was right that the tree was placed there the year lupin started in 1971 so that the Lupin could go and transform in the shrieking shack and not bother anyone, the tree covered the secret passage and would attack anything that would come near it. The kids used to play a game to see who would get the closest to touch it and the Davey Gudgeon kid really almost lost an eye. She was almost right I guess.
slytherinlvr
Padfoot313 that is correct. The kids did play a game to see who could get close enough to touch it. That is what Hermione_Resilda had that was wrong, so it is your turn.
Padfoot313
Well I didn;t mean to steal the answer, but I found it on the Lexicon website, sorry Hermione_Remilda. I'll make this one easy.

There are 10 known species of dragons from all over the world, listing the first four from the GoF first, what are the remaining 6 dragons?
As a bonus, what was Norbert?
slytherinlvr
The dragons from GoF are:

1. Chinese Fireball
2. Common Welsh Green
3. Hungarian Horntail
4. Swedish Short Snout

The other six are:

5. Antipodean Opaleye
6. Hebridean Black
7. Norwegian Ridgeback (Norbert)
8. Peruvian Vipertooth
9. Romanian Longhorn
10.Ukrainian Ironbelly
felix_felicis_444
Well, slytherinlvr is correct, but just to add to their answer, Norbert was a Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon...so I guess that it would be slytherinlvr's turn!


_daviD


Edited for my stupidity! It appears that slytherinlvr actually DID have Norbert nevt to Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon in parentheses! I must have looked right over it! Ignore this post, then! Sorry!
Padfoot313
Yeah I told you it was easy, and yes norbert was a norwegian ridgeback. So yes, slytherinlvr your up.
slytherinlvr
Okay, I am going to make this as hard as possible. Here goes:

In HBP, the Ministry of Magic sends out about how to protect your home and family against dark forces. What were the seven security guidelines to ensure that you anf your family are safe?

Hermione_Resilda
This is kind of late, but it's alright, Padfoot.
Anyhoo, on to the question. Let's hope this is right, but they're probably not in order.

1.Ask a personal question to family members and friend to see if it's really them.
2.If you see any signs of an Inferi, contact the Ministry of Magic.
3.You see a dark mark anywhere don't go in the building, and contact the Ministry.
4.If someone you know if acting weird, they might be put under the Imperius curse, so contac the Magical Law Enforcement Squad.
5.Make sure that your family members know jinxes, hexes, and counter attacks, simple spells.. and side-along (I think) apparating.
6.Don't leave the house alone.
7.Take journeys in the daytime.
slytherinlvr
Hermione_Resilda that is correct. I am reading HBP so i just asked that question. it is now your turn.
Hermione_Resilda
Okay. This is the only thing I can come up with, but it might be easy.
What's the riddle and the answer that the Shpinx gave Harry when he was in the maze in GoF?
Agent0042
The riddle, this isn't exact, but this is the best you're gonna get from me --- Think of the person who dwells in secrets and tells naught but lies. The next is the middle of middle and the end of end. Finally, the sound often heard during the search for a hard-to-find word. Put them all together and tell me this --- what creature would you not want to kiss?

The answer is --- a spider.
Hermione_Resilda
Yeah. good job, you got it. I don't have my book with me right now, but that seems to follow the same words. Your turn.
Agent0042
smile.gif Thanks. Hoo boy --- now I have to come up with a question, I guess this won't be all that rough, I hope not --- What were Harry's O.W.L. grades and how did Ron's differ?
slytherinlvr
I just finished reading HBP so I know this.

Astronomy: A
Careof Magical Creatures: E
Charms: E
Defense against the Dark Arts: O
Divination: P
Herbology: E
History of Magic: D
Potions: E
Transfiguration: E

Ron had no outstandings and also had seven O.W.L.S, both failed Divination and History of Magic.
Agent0042
Yes, you're absolutely right, slytherinlvr. Your go. Good memory on that one, especially remembering the exact marks for the fail grades.
Kells bells
O.K. I don't acctualy know the rules for this thread. Does that mean that as slytherinlvr answered the last question correctly they ask the next? Or can anyone? if anyone can then what about
What is the length of Rita Skeeters fingernails? I'm evil... I know this and I didn't even have to look at the books.
felix_felicis_444
SOAOFMCCCLS(spew2u), the rules of this thread are probably on the first page, however your deductions were correct...

In order to ask a question, you have to get the previous question correct. Then, whoever answers your question gets to go and ask one of their own. Your question is a good one, so you should save it and see if you can answer slytherinlvr's correctly!


_daviD
Kells bells
Sorry about that. I will now wait for slytherinlvr . I did scan the first page but I don't think I saw any rules. Though this is version 3 so are they on version 1?
slytherinlvr
Okay here is my question:

In PoA, during the quidditch match against Hufflepuff when it was raining, Hermione put a charm on Harry's glasses so that they would repel water. What was the charm?
Hermione_Resilda
The spell was Impervius. Sorry, SOAOFMCCCLS(spew2u), for answering the question quickly, but I have a really good question that I'm dying to post.
By the way, I don't know if the rules are on the 1st version, but you can view it if you click here.
felix_felicis_444
Ahhh! I know this! haha...
The spell was Impervius!, which Hermione used on Harry's glasses to make them repel water... It was also used in OotP on the Gryffindor Team, I believe, to give them better visibility in the rain


_daviD

-EDIT-
Sorry for doing this again! I was in the middle of typing the answer, I guess, when Hermione_Resilda got it in...good job! And ignore this post I guess! SORRY!
slytherinlvr
Hermione_Resilda and felix_felicis_444, you were both right but Hermione_Resilda got is first. Your go.
Hermione_Resilda
No problem, David. Anyway, here's my *hard* one..

In PoA, when Harry had sneaked into Hogsmeade, he overheard his teachers talking about him and Sirius in The Three Broomsticks. What did each of the teachers order, from Madam Rosmerta?
Padfoot313
McGonagall - A small gillywater

Hagrid - four pints of mulled mead

Flitwick - A cherry syrup and soda with ice and umbrella

Fudge - red currant rum

ANd if I am not mistaken, Rosmertta has the same thing as Fudge when she returns to the table because Fudge says "Lovely to see you again. I must say. have one yourself, won't you? Come and join us...?"
Hermione_Resilda
Good job, you got it. I love Fudge's red current rum, it sounds pretty good, actually. I don't know if Madam Rosmerta had a drink, but I think I remember her doing something like..taking a sip.
Anyways, your go.
Padfoot313
Ok here it goes.

What conversation led Hermione to realize that Rita Skeeter was an unregistered bug animagus? Who said the phrase that made that animagus idea click, and what were his exact words?
karsh05

What conversation led Hermione to realize that Rita Skeeter was an unregistered bug animagus? Who said the phrase that made that animagus idea click, and what were his exact words?

Harry, Ron and Hermione were talking about how Rita Skeeter could have found out about Harry's Dream about Voldemort and some Death Eaters, and his fainting in Divination at breakfast the day before the third task and Harry then said, "Well, your the one who's supposed to be researching magical methods of bugging! You tell me how she did it!"
"I've been trying!" said Hermione. "But I...but..."
thats when Hermione realizes that Rita Skeeter is an Unregestered Beetle Animagus.

Also, earlier in the book, the three were talking about how Rita could have found out about Hagrid's mother being a giantess, and how she could have known that Krum asked Hermione to come stay with him over the summer at the end of the second task, and they were suggesting things such as invisibility cloaks and such when Harry brought up the idea of bugging, but Hermione flattened that one down right away saying that it was impossible because those kind of muggle electronics go haywire with all the magic around Hogwarts.

hope this works!!

good question by the way! thats a tricky one! smile.gif
Padfoot313
Excellent, you got it 100% correct. I thought it would take a little longer for you guys to find it, but I guess it wasn't that hard after all. Oh well I guess I'll have to start looking for another hard one the next time I get one right.

Your go karsh05
karsh05
OK, here goes:

WARNING: PERSUE FOLLOWING QUESTION AT YOUR OWN RISK! VERY TRICKY!

In Flourish and Blotts, there is a book by Professor Vindictus Viridian that Harry first seemed VERY interested in. What was the name of the book he was looking at, give three examples of what is in it, and what was Harry trying to find out from that book?

I've tested all my HP friends with this one and its still got their brains in a knot! SUPER gynormous props to the first to get this one!

GOOD LUCK! smile.gif
felix_felicis_444
Okay, long questions mean long responses smile.gif

The book written by Professor Vindictus Viridian was Curses and Counter-curses (Bewitch Your Friends and Befuddle Your Enemies with the Latest Revenges: Hair Loss, Jelly-Legs, Tongue-Tying, and Much, Much More)......

So that covers the "three exaples of what was in it as well (revenge with hair-loss, jelly legs, and tongue-tying)....

He wanted to read the book to looking for a way to curse Dudley, and Hagrid had to literally drag him away...


_daviD
karsh05
O MAN! laugh.gif

you got it right in one! awesome job! and i thought that was a hard one! good job....ill get a harder one for next time!(evil grin...) dry.gif your ups. smile.gif

karsh05
oops...sorry felix_felicis_444!

I forgot to give you your props!
sorry im just a weird person like that... wink.gif
gryffchaser44
Can I join in?
Hermione_Resilda
Hey gryffchaser44.
I'm afraid that I have to tell you to take a look at the rules, as one liners aren't allowed here. But, of course you can join. smile.gif Well, it's not really a club or anything, all you have to do is answer a trivia question related to Harry Potter. Now, we have to wait for felix_felicis_444 to ask a question, and if you know the answer, you can post it (of course, no one liners biggrin.gif ).
Have fun now.

By the way, Karsh05, you don't have to double post if you forgot to add something that you wanted to say. You can click the 'edit' icon on the right of your post. smile.gif
felix_felicis_444
Okay, I do not think that this is too tough of a question, but here it goes:

Throughout the Harry Potter books, we are introduced to many characters, animals, and magical beasts. One of them that we meet has the name Tenebrus. My question to you is: what type of creature is Tenebrus, where does he live, and which caracter particularly likes him?

Okay, I have decided that this is not such a tough question, if you know where to look.....HAPPY FINDING!


_daviD
slytherinlvr
I know this one. Tenebrus:

1. is a thestral
2. lives in the forbidden forest with the other thestrals
3. Hagrid is the character that particularly likes him.
felix_felicis_444
yes, I figured somebody would get it within a matter of seconds!
okay, slytherinlvr, your turn!

Give us a tough one!


_daviD
slytherinlvr
Here is my question:

Name the two spells that Harry used (the prince made them up) on Ron and Draco and what did each of them do?

Hermione 14
Harry used [/I]Levicorpus on Rons, and it made him hang by his ankles in midair, and Harry used Sectumsempra[I] on Malfoy while he was in the Prefect's bathroom, it made Malfoy bleed profusely and it cut him open.


-Kelly
slytherinlvr
That is definitly correct Hermione 14. Good job. It is your turn and make it hard because the questions keep getting easier and easier.
Hermione 14
In what book, and what scene did Hermione say Voldemort's name for the first time? ..its like a medium difficulty question lol... Good Luck!


-Kelly
felix_felicis_444
Okay, I believe this is from Order of the Phoenix. After Harry was explaning that he was so close to dying at the graveyard, and what happened to Cedric could have just as easily have happened to him if Voldemort did not need his blood.

The exact quote Hermione said, replying to Harry's fit, was:
"Harry," she said timidly, "don't you see? This ... this is exactly why we need you.... We need to know what it's r-really like ... facing him ... facing V-Voldemort."

I think thats the whole question...


_daviD
Hermione 14
yes, of course you are right. It was like a character change lol With the whole quote in all..impressive lol; give us a hard one smile.gif


-Kelly
felix_felicis_444
tongue.gif I actually really liked that quote Hermione 14, I completely forgot about it!

Okay, onto my question:

As we all know, Harry recieved the Marauder's Map from Fred and George Weasley. My question is: Specifically, where did they get it from, why were they there, and who had it when they stole it?

I hope that that is clear! I am looking for specifics, so be detailed!


_daviD
Hermione_Resilda
Let's see, they got it from a cabinet from Filch's office, that said, 'Confiscated and Highly Dangerous'. They were in Filch's office because they put off a dungbomb in a corridor. Who had it when they stole it...heh, I answered that one above happy.gif.
