I could only remember 151 of the top 200 Harry Potter characters and now I feel like a failure

My niece challenged me to this quiz and I thought I’d smash it, and I only got 75.5!! I’m so bloody annoyed with myself!

Is anyone else as rubbish as me?

Thought I should say- I got 75.5%. 151 characters.

Placemarking to try this evening

I've never read any of them and only saw the first film when it came out which I thought was a total pile of shite but I think I can name 9. Do I win a prize?

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 14/09/2018 09:03

Oh I love Sporcle. If you want a challenge......

Try this quiz

JLG19 · 14/09/2018 09:11

I only got 84 Blush there were a fair few characters who I could think of but couldn't remember their name. Should have been 85 as I definitely typed in Bellatrix Lestrange!!

kaytee87 · 14/09/2018 09:15

Place marking for later

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 14/09/2018 09:22

Only got 117. I'm handing in my wand.

Piewacket · 14/09/2018 09:23

Accidentally discovered that If you enter in the last name it enters in all characters automatically, so I got all four Dumbledores when I'd have had no idea at all about three of them.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 14/09/2018 09:39

Thats how to do it quick. Type in the surnames.

ChateauRouge · 14/09/2018 09:44

This sounds like fun- I'm just reading GoF to DS and he's loving it!

JaretsGirlfren · 14/09/2018 10:27

I only got 70 Blush

@TaliZorahVasNormandy your link doesn't lead to a quiz Sad

That’s one of my favourite Sporcle quizzes and I’ve started treating it as a regular memory exercise on what strategies work best for me in terms of memory/recall.

That said I’ve only once got 100%. Obscure death eaters, Slytherin quidditch players or Wilkie Bloody Twycross are usually my downfall.

OutingMyDog · 14/09/2018 11:30

I got 23%

I'd be much better at a Game of Thrones one goes to look

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 14/09/2018 11:31

Angelo, really. It worked for me.

Try this one www.sporcle.com/games/g/world

Witchend · 14/09/2018 11:36

I got 123. But I didn't realise that animals counted (like Buckhorn) and was hampered by my spelling at times because you had to get the spelling completely right.

DemocracyDiesInDarkness · 14/09/2018 11:38

There is no point in me actually trying the quiz. Here's who I have heard of:

Harry
Hermione
Ron
Dumbledore

Think that's it. I have failed at 21st century life.

BevBrook · 14/09/2018 11:41

Buckhorn wouldn't have worked anyway, it's Buckbeak.
Hark at me though, someone who only got about 73 characters, not sure what the percentage was. Thanks to you OP I was up to 1am last night doing: Star Trek characters and episodes, X Files episodes, Buffy episodes, Doctor Who companions, Doctor Who episodes and Red Dwarf characters and episodes. I was much worse in all of them than I thought, except Dr Who companions which I rocked at.

MaryPoppinsPenguins · 14/09/2018 11:42

That was terrible. I got 77... and I class myself as a fan Blush

Witchend · 14/09/2018 12:08

Bev good point!Blush
