As someone who has never ever seen a single one of these movies or read any of the books, answering strictly by the amount of it forced down my throat I should have the purest public random responses. That’s my theory anyway.

**Queen Tonya** is #43, to 7 more to go.

I’ll be leaving in about half an hour and won’t be back until later on tonight, so expect to see scores late tonight or tomorrow morning if we get enough entries by then.

#9 is really hard! The house I want to be in is different from the one I think I’d be sorted into. Plus I have to think about what would most people say. Who knows if I chose right.

And that’s 50! Mods, can you please close it when you see this? I’ll score it tomorrow morning when I get back to the machine that has the spreadsheet. Thanks, everybody!

Okay, sorry I took so long with the scoring–believe me, I have developed a whole new respect for **Dolores Reborn** for doing this every day! 🙂 Thanks to her for some help and tips.

So, without further ado, here’s the scoring. I was very liberal with it–if you got in the vicinity of the right answer I gave it to you (for example, “The Dursleys’ house” and “#4 Privet Drive” were counted as matches, though “#10 Privet Lane” was not, since that’s a completely different address).

Lesson I learned (and part of why it took so long to score): Never come up with more than one question that could potentially have the same answer. Sorting out the Ginny and Hagrid answers was tons of fun. Really. 🙂

And our leading Potterphiles and co-Head Boys for today are… **cmkeller** and **Mtgman** with a tie score of 568! Congratulations to you both!

19 is better than I thought I’d get, yay me!

I read the first book to my son but then he was old enough to read the rest himself, so my answers were basically whatever I could remember from the movies. Good fued, thanks.
