I just took another quiz similar to one that I posted before. This time it was on Harry Potter last names.
If you want, you can try the quiz here before continuing on to the rest of the post.
I got a score of 37/42, giving me 88% correct.
However, that isn't really true because I didn't get Quirinus Quirrel (I had never heard of Quirinus before - not that I remembered, anyway*). But at first I thought we could only answer the questions in order, so I decided to cheat and search up that one, and just deduct it from my score later. Then I bumped into Amycus and couldn't answer it either. Not wanting to cheat a second time (and also thinking it strange that they would block us that way), I tried typing the answer to another question. And it worked! *sigh* How silly of me not to have tried it earlier.
I couldn't recall Pomona Sprout, though I know I have heard a professor being called Pomona before. Cuthbert and Wilhelmina stumped me completely, like Quirinus.
But, Lily Potter? I feel so cheated... I kept trying to recall Harry's mother's maiden name, but I never thought of putting Potter! (her name was Lily Evans) Or maybe they meant Harry's daughter, but that would make me feel cheated too; she is such a minor spin-off character!
So I guess my actual score is 36 out of 42, giving me 85.7%. Not bad, but I did think I could do better!
*Note: After some research, I confirmed that Quirrell's first name is not mentioned in the books. It was mentioned in a trading card game and on J.K. Rowling's site Pottermore. Can't really confirm for Professors Binns and Grubbly-Plank, though.
