WWW's Trivia, Which House will win the Cup? Options

[WickedWitchOfThe...]

Welcome to WWW's Trivia!!! This is the one and only time (I am sure) that a trivia game on this site will be worth House Points. That's right, House Points! Ordinarily, we don't have House Points here at HPP, but since we're getting near the end of our wonderful adventure together, I figured we'd better get something worth House Points out. This is the way it'll work:

I will post the questions for an undetermined time limit. Some questions may be up for days, others as little as a couple minutes. I will not say how long the time limit is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Answers must come via PM with which House you are playing for stated. I hate to do this, but in order for every House to have a stab at it, it must be this way. Otherwise the answer will be given away in a post and with the higher amount of Gryffindor and Slytherin players versus the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff players, I'd prefer, as I said, for every House to have an opportunity.

I will be cleaning out my PM Inbox regularly to ensure that it does not fill up too quickly. If it does fill up, I'm sorry, but that will pretty much mean that the time limit is up for those questions.

The questions are strictly out of the books and the answers are buried in those books somewhere, including the six HP novels as well as FB&WTFT and QTTA. I will post more than one question at a time, but it is not required that you attempt every question. When the questions are closed, I will post the questions again with their answers and where they may be found as well as the new questions and the order in which the Houses are currently ranking.

Now we'll talk points. Each correctly answered question is worth 10 points to your House. Incorrect answers will not count against you. But, once all the points that can possibly be earned for one House have been earned, further answers from people of the same House will not earn that particular House any additional points. For bonus points, when answering your question, if you state which book and chapter the answer is found in and that is correct you will receive another 10 points. In the cases of FB&WTFT and QTTA, there will not be an opportunity to earn bonus points.

Is everything clear? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) If you have any questions, please post them here. And here we go:
