- So "Harry Potter" was my introduction to British men,
and so I love British men.
(group laugh)
If you're out there and you're a British man,
I have a boyfriend,
but I'm sure we could work something out.
(group laugh)
- Welcome, everybody, to today's
Most Difficult Harry Potter Questions Quiz.
I'm your host, Mike Rose, I'm a Hufflepuff.
- Hi, I'm Kelsey, and I'm a Gryffindor.
- Hey guys, my name is Sean, and I'm a Slytherin.
- Hi, I'm Carolina, and I'm a Ravenclaw.
- I've never been the type of fan
that can slay a trivia quiz because people,
those Ravenclaws are out for blood sometimes,
I'm not gonna lie,
and I'm like a Gryffindor where I really just enjoy
all the memorabilia and going to the theme parks.
- I pretended that living hot in Hawaii
there was like a whole school there
and I was like pretending to go on my own
Hawaiian magic school.
- So, I got a first set of Harry Potter books
from my aunt when I was like, six years old.
But I only knew Spanish at the time so I had gotten...
So I read all the series in Spanish growing up.
But I'm Luna.
Like literally, I have a moon right here,
I have moon earrings.
I am her.
- Here's how it works:
You can score the maximum of two hundred ten points
if you know the book like the back of your hand.
How high can you score?
Let's find out!
(group groan and laugh)
Y'all look terrified.
- I'm going to try not to let
my super competitive nature get the best of me.
- You know what, we're not here to make friends,
we're here to win right?
- I'm going to cheat my own way, I don't know.
- No cheating!
- If Sean wins, we'll know why.
- Yeah exactly.
- Question number one:
Where in the world does Ron's brother Bill work?
France, Romania, Egypt or Russia.
- I'm really bad with names in general.
There's so many Weasleys.
I know one's in Egypt and one's in Romania
because they visited Egypt on the family vacation
with Scabbers and then that's how Scabbers was discovered.
But then I also know one of them is in Romania.
I think actually...
- I don't think it's Romania.
- I'm going to say Romania.
- I'm going to say Egypt.
- Alright audience, what do you think?
Make your selection.
- Oh god, my stomach hurts.
- It's Charlie's in Romania.
Bill is in Egypt and I'm mad.
- Carolina is correct with Egypt.
Remember, we are talking about the first book here,
"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"
aka "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone."
What is the name of Chapter 5?
The Sorting Hat, The Keeper of the Keys,
Diagon Alley, or The Journey from Platform
Nine and Three Quarters.
- I'm trying to think about what the
first five chapters are about.
I think that would help.
- You know how they release like...Daniel Radcliffe
like reading the chapters of Harry Potter.
I'm like trying to think about what he's already said.
The only thing that's popping up in my head
is in "Chamber of Secrets" when Harry's like,
"Diagon Alley!"
So I'm just going to go with Diagon Alley.
- It's either between Diagon Alley or
I want to say The Keeper of the Keys.
But my heart says Diagon Alley.
- I think it's The Keeper of the Keys.
I think the first book is fairly slow.
(Kelsey groans)
- Ooh!
- Oh, it looks like going with your heart
was the right way, Diagon Alley.
- You know, honestly
I just wanted one right.
So I'm really like...ecstatic.
- Who does Filch catch after hours once they free
Hagrid's dragon Norbert?
Is it Harry and Hermione?
Harry, Hermione, and Ron, Ron and Hermione
or Neville and Ron.
- I remember Hermione was a part of the equation for sure.
So I know it's...by deduction that Neville and Ron is gone.
I think it was just two people.
- I don't know.
I'm probably just going to go with Harry and Hermione
just because they're the first one.
- I'm gonna go Harry and Hermione as well.
- Oh.
- Oh!
- Look at that!
It's time for a little bit of a currency exchange.
How many Knuts equal one Sickle?
- Well, I know it's a big number.
It's not five.
- I don't think it's an even number.
Because I'm pretty sure most of them are odd numbers
to make it quirky but also like, why?
- Like the imperial system, it just doesn't make sense.
- Exactly, it is like that.
- I'm just going to go big or go home.
I'm just going to guess twenty-nine.
- I think that twenty five would divide too evenly
and so with twenty-two and five's too small.
- Excellent process of elimination!
Y'all aren't gonna like this.
How many chapters are in Sorcerer's Stone
Is it nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, or sixteen?
- I know I feel like it's for sure an odd number
because I'm kind of neurotic
so I like to do things in like, in twos.
I read like two chapters a day so I can finish it
in this amount of time.
I have to have some resentment so I feel like
it would be an odd number, I just don't know which one.
- My impulse is saying seventeen.
- Was everyone correct?
- My brain was right and I'm proud of it.
- What did you choose, Sean?
- I decided to be a rebel and do a different number.
- Classic Slytherin.
What lesson does Harry look forward to above all others?
- I know which one this is then.
- I know which one is this.
- I don't know.
- Okay, everyone make your selection.
- Noo!
- Yeah, he loves flying.
Like, you know fish to water.
He's like, "This is where my legs were born to be!"
That's a quote from Harry Potter.
"This is where my legs were born to be!"
- This was an area where I didn't relate to him
because it's basically like the gym class of Hogwarts
and he's like the jock and he is good at sports
and not so much the other ones.
That's not me, I'm not good at the sports.
- I don't think he was good at sports for muggle sports.
So, I'm like, "Aww, Harry, you figured it out."
- In which county does the Dursley family reside?
- So, I know it's not Essex
because the Essex is known as the Jersey shore of England.
I should know this, I feel like this is an easier question
but I know it's not Essex for sure.
- I know this one, just 'cause I've been re listening.
- Ooooo, I got it right!
Okay that was okay!
- I love all of Molly Weasley's quotes.
There's literally a quote that she's just like,
"Your boys just drove from Surrey and back!"
And so, that's the only reason why I know
is because they drove to Surrey to pick up Harry.
- That is an excellent Molly Weasley impression.
- Thank you.
- How many staircases are in Hogwarts?
- JK Rowling loves the number seven
so I'm gonna go 178 just from that.
- Part of me wants to be like it has to be an odd number
because everything else is odd numbers in Harry Potter
so I want to say 149.
- I was gonna go with the odd number one also
just 'cause like classic JK Rowling, you know what I mean?
(group sighs)
- I don't think anyone was right.
- Oh, the correct answer is 142, an even number.
Better luck on this next one.
What dessert does Dudley eat at the zoo for his birthday?
- Oh, I weirdly remember this one too.
- I know this one.
- Is it ice cream sundae, sticky toffee pudding,
banoffee pie, or knickerbocker glory?
These are the most British sounding names
I've ever heard, except for ice cream sundae.
- Ice cream sundae sounds painfully American in this lineup.
- Carolina which one did you choose?
- I put banoffe pie, I really thought it was that one.
- It made me remember Dudley like,
going at his knickerbocker glory.
There's a Mary Berry recipe on BBC
and you know what I'm doing this weekend.
- Next up, what creature does Lee Jordan bring to Hogwarts?
A lizard, an owl, a tarantula, or a rat?
- An icon, I know this.
- Kelsey and Sean, you look perplexed.
- Yeah...
Tarantula feels a little bit too close
to that spider that Hagrid has.
- You're going Lizard?
- Yeah.
- My reasoning is the opposite of Kelsey
so I'm going with Tarantula.
- Awwww...
- Yes! I knew it!
- Ready to get nice and pedantic?
How many words are in Sorcerer's Stone?
(group laughter)
- Can we ask the audience?
- Can we have...
Okay I'm just gonna go balls to the walls.
- This is gonna be like literally
throwing a dart and seeing where it lands.
- I guessed, fully guessed, but I got it right.
- Nicely done, sheer dumb luck.
Where are the prefects compartments
located on the Hogwarts Express?
Is it in the front, in the back,
in the middle, or scattered about for supervision.
- I have like a, an instinct.
I don't know what it's based off of
but somethings telling me to go for a specific answer.
- I remember distinctly the moment
that Ron and Hermine tell Harry
they have to go sit in that compartment.
'Cause he kept feeling excluded about being not a prefect
and then that was just the most decisive moment
of being physically separated from them.
- Kelsey, you just helped me jog my memory,
now I know where they sit.
- Mother...!
- Oh my gosh, that's so cute and collaborative of you!
- I love how I was mad (laughs)
and you're like, "That's cute!"
I'm like, "Okay Hufflepuff."
- Yes!
- Why can't Harry stay with Mrs. Figg
while the Dursley's go to the zoo.
- Oh no
- I remember kind of what this is but I'm not gonna say
because I don't want to keep cluing people in.
- You don't want to keep helping
the Slytherin out, as a Gryffindor?
- Guys, I knew it!
I see the picture in my head.
I can picture what's happening.
I just don't know if it's one of the two
and I can see it in my head right now.
- Dangit!
- Yes!
- Yay!
- You had a fifty fifty shot.
I thought the leg was extreme
but I knew that she broke a bone
because one of her cats did something
and she was kinda mad about it.
- This is the last question.
When someone scores with the Quaffle,
how many points does the team earn?
The options are five, ten, fifteen, or twenty points.
- I distinctly remember having known this in my youth.
Apparently some knowledge slipped through the cracks.
- Everybody make a selection.
- Awww
- Yes!
- Oh, Kelsey, look at your guess.
- I think it just goes up by tens
and I remember, the number felt really fast because of that.
- Carolina, how many points did you get?
- 112.
- I tried, I got 138.
- I got 155!
- Kelsey is our winner!
- Yay!
- The house cup goes to Gryffindor.
- We didn't even have to cheat this time.
- Yeah, like Dumbledore didn't have to come in
and be like, "You were a good friend."
- I like to think of myself like Harry, ya know?
Harry wouldn't necessarily know
the exact number of the page that something happened.
He lived the story.
- So, audience, how well did you do for this?
How many of the questions did you get right?
Well, thank you to all our
contestants today for participating
and congratulations to our winner, Gryffindor Kelsey.
Hope to have you back soon for another Harry Potter quiz.
- Thank you!
