Test your Harry Potter character knowledge

115! At the end, you can sort the answers by "most missed." The first character most guessed by other people that I missed was Lavender Brown. The character most missed by other people that I got was Bertha Jorkins.
I got Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Slytherin in the very last minute.

I need to try it with a partner, because I keep coming up with all these names that I can't spell! If I could say a name and then have someone look up the spelling...

[Humble Master]

107. I was trying so hard to beat Dragon Lady's score.

BAHAHAHAHAHA.

This totally just made my day.

[Gimgimno]

That is awesome. You guys are too evenly matched! There will never be a clear victor!

Just wait till I finish listening to them all again. Then I'll show him up. Bwahahaha. (A lot of who I missed were Death Eaters who are prevalent in Book 7, so they'll be fresh on my mind.)

[wryness]

Some of the names are too easy to get, though. Just type anyone's last name (like "Weasley") and every person with that name will pop up.

Near the end I started getting desperate and I managed to get a few hits off of common names (like "Brown," "Smith," etc.).

[NerdGirl]

Just did it again and got 159.

I secretly hate you. But let's still be friends, k?

I secretly hate you. But let's still be friends, k?

All of the great friendships are based on secret hate. I think it'll work out wonderfully. Either you'll end up long lost sisters, clones, or scholarship-meeting attendees. Its either that or get married, and I'm not sure what Yellow would have to say about that.

[Craig Jessop]

Boom. 122.

Oooh, scandalous!!

[Emiliana]

Wow, I'm kind of ashamed of myself--I only got 86. But I haven't read any of them in about a year. I was proud of myself for remembering Ariana Dumbledore, kicking myself for forgetting Delores Umbridge ... I remembered who she was, of course, but couldn't come up with her name. Kudos to you people who got over 100.

Has anyone tried the Countries of the World quiz (http://www.sporcle.com/games/world.php)? I got 94. I was most proud of myself for remembering Suriname. (I also got Burkina Faso, which was much farther down on the list, but since I was just talking to someone this afternoon who lives there, I don't really get cool points for knowing it.) I couldn't come up with Finland, though, which is a bit ironic since I was playing "Finlandia" on the piano earlier today.

[NerdGirl]

Only 83 on that one. Obviously I spend much more time obsessing about Harry Potter than about geography.

Man, I got 56 on the counties, but it made me so mad. I knew at least 20 more names but could not spell them worth a darn! I actually know my countries from the old Animaniacs song, and haven't tried to spell them in forever. I wasted most of my time trying to spell Czechslvakia only to find out they had Czech Republic, and tried every variation of England, Britian, Great Britian, etc only to find out it was United Kingdom. I don't know what the official country name is people! Sad day.

[Dragon Lady]

Thank you, NerdGirl, for taking up the rest of my evening. I'm not sure I'm willing to give my scores for the ones I took… Things like the OT one make me feel ashamed of myself. The numbers one I got all 100 on my third try, though. And my first two tries were in the 90s. And the BoM one I got all with 3:30 to spare.

Yeah, that song was pre Czech Republic/Slovakia.

Yakko's World? I used that song too. It helped me get to 120. Woo-hoo!

[Tao]

Did well on the countries, would have done better if I didn't spend so much time trying to spell the Ivory Coast's actual name.

6/10 body parts

didn't even try

68/118 elements, interesting to see the patterns, i didn't get a single lanthanide element, but most of the actinide series

bahaha, didn't try this one either

51/100 numbers on first try, took too long to realize they wanted them numerically, had onetwothreefour in the box... got 99 on attempt #2.

61/100 words

24/50 fast food restaurants but the timer never kicked on, so I had plenty of time on that one.

14/24 grr. the first one that I really felt that I should have scored much better on. Shouldn't have missed favorite things, raven, citizen Kane (doh!) Gilligan's Island, and/or Auld Lang Syne.

191/200, that one bugged me. I should have had them all.

didn't try it

11/21 wow, just... wow.

8/10 the even ones are easier than the odd ones.

Did the geography one too, took me 5 times to complete the dang thing. I think I misspelled Arizona all 5 times.
