Hi everyone! I've just joined the community (I don't know what took me so long), & I wanted to share something that you might find fun.

So my sister and I love HP, and while we're not by any means eidetic buffs, we've read, watched & listened (to Stephen Fry's audiobooks) a LOT, so we know a pretty good amount about it. I wanted to make a Harry Potter trivia game for her birthday, but most of the trivia that exists out there is either super easy, or it's challenging in that stupid way where you have to recall these tiny inconsequential details that are only mentioned once. So I wrote a bunch of my own questions! Some of them are probably a bit easy (especially for you guys), but others may make you think.

I'll just list the questions out. And put the answers underneath each question with a spoiler tag. FYI, they are in no particular order, and they are based on the books, not the movies. And sorry if I've made a couple of mistakes here & there. I'm sure someone will correct me.

I hope you enjoy!
