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?

55%, I did cheat a bit when I got the spelling wrong on some and turned to Google to find out how it's spelt right. You'd be hard pushed to get 100, I mean, who on earth was That one near the end with the initials JP! (Bad Potter fan YouBetter, bad Grin)

A tip is don't do first names, put in a surname and it'll fill everyone with that surname in! Saves you typing out all the Weasleys for example!

Is James potter really only mentioned 14 times?

ginnybag · 14/09/2018 12:49

I lost the will to live when it wouldn't let me have the other Lestrange's, Teddy Nott etc.

What's the point of including Wilkie bloody twycross and not them!

ProfessorMoody · 14/09/2018 12:58

I got 178 but ran out of time. I think I could have done better if I wasn't under pressure!

Forgot Hedwig though!!

kaytee87 · 14/09/2018 13:07

@NicoAndTheNiners I think his name is probably only mentioned that many times as he would just be called 'my dad' or 'your dad' to harry iyswim?

steppemum · 14/09/2018 13:28

Ha I would struggle to get 10!

But I did the countries of the world quiz and got 95 right, plus another 10 ish that I knew but couldn't spell.
Not bad, looking at the answers the ones I didn't know apart from a few bloody obvious ones were mainly the little islands.

Will try that one again and see if I can improve

NicoAndTheNiners · 14/09/2018 13:58

@kaytee87 that makes sense. Harry is always talking about his parents and so is dumbledore but yes in “my parents”, “your parents” terms.

Ok, now I’m obsessed.

Namechanger1776 · 14/09/2018 16:19

Oh my god the pressure of doing it timed!

bluechameleon · 14/09/2018 16:54

I am going to have a go at this when I have more time. I class myself as a big fan, have read the books multiple times, so will be disappointed if I don't do fairly well.

BearSoFair · 14/09/2018 17:45

120, more than I thought I'd get! I'm surprised the animals are considered characters, came in handy though as for some reason I seem to remember their names more than some of the humans!

CaffeineAndCrochet · 14/09/2018 19:39

There's two James Potters, no? Harry's son and his dad.

ProfessorMoody · 14/09/2018 19:43

Yes, but the quiz goes on mentions. Harry's son James Sirius would only have been mentioned right at the end of Deathly Hallows.

ISendNoComplimentsToYourMother · 15/09/2018 07:16

Shame

Itchytights · 15/09/2018 07:17

I think I’ve heard of five.

I’m ok with that

Confused
AspieHere · 15/09/2018 13:06

I didn't realise there was a time limit until it was less than 10 seconds, I was dicking about with the TV! Got 103. Rubbish and I'm a Potter nerd. I didn't realise they included bloody Hedwig etc!

Namechanger1776 · 15/09/2018 13:11

Put in surnames and it fills in for you

CaffeineAndCrochet · 15/09/2018 14:41

James himself got nearly 200 mentions. James Sirius got 14.

ISendNoComplimentsToYourMother · 16/09/2018 09:56

But you have to remember the surnames.

I’m now playing against myself to improve my score. Blush

9amtrain · 16/09/2018 10:21

@ISendNoComplimentsToYourMother mine filled in the full names for me. And if I typed in a surname e.g. Potter, Weasley it filled in the whole family.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 16/09/2018 11:13

I've improved to 150. Coulda done better.

AngeloMysterioso · 16/09/2018 11:37

Had another go- 161. Getting better!
