Dumbledore's Army

Hello everyone...I'm sorry I've been absent.  I've been a little bored, well, with EVERYTHING. I didn't even log into MB for days, My Bimbo was like 87% hungry. "Shamed"

I'm so glad someone said they liked the quiz, I hadn't even bothered putting it up because I though no one cared. I will work on it today, but it may take me a little longer than that. It's been so long since I worked on it, and I have gotten a new computer: it's all on my old one. I can't remember if I already made up the questions or not.

I apologize again for abandoning you and leaving you in the dark....just IM me next time I go MIA.

OK...apparently I never typed out the questions for the second quiz....I may still have my notes, but I'm not entirely sure. And I can't go look right now because my hubby is trying to sleep and the book is in our bedroom....so I'm going to need a lil more time than a couple hours. I'm trying to come up with questions off the top of my head and what I can scour on the internet because I've read few books since last reading Chamber of Secrets. BUt hopefully later tonight I will have a quiz posted for you guys.  I need to make a score chart, for round 1, but I'm not sure I still have everyone's replies. I will work on that as soon as I finish the questions.

Yay!
I'm really starting to get sick of MB not sending out forum updates! I'm subscribed to about 6 threads that I don't receive updates for!

I know Anel was 1st with all the correct answers, and then I have Sajmuffin, BellaRose, and MissBabyGash answers. I think all I'm missing is Ytsirhc's and I have PMed her. If there is anyone else, please pm me.

After I hear from Ytsirhc, I will post the answers to quiz one and post a score card!

Thank you so so much!
I didn't even know until I logged on yesterday! I was coming 4th last time I checked.

Congrats on the first quiz. I'm going to start on the next one now.
Oh I have to do a comparison/contrast paper for my english class and I've chosen to do it on some of the differences between the harry potter books and the movies lol.

Just a few:

Tonight I'm going to try  to "grade" the quizzes that have been sent to me so far, post quiz 1 answers, and get a scoreboard going so maybe some of your competitive nature will take over. Lol!

We're also coming up on the end of the month so I will be doing some "house keeping" over the next week.

Because I'm curious, does anyone listen to MuggleCast or PotterCast???

Also, would anyone be interested in rereading the books and disecting them chapter by chapter(stolen idea from MuggleCast)???? If not it's ok, I just thought it might spur more conversation.

Lastly, I am working on trying to start my own business. It will be a wedding an event planning company. I am doing a friend's wedding right now, so I'm kinda busy at times. I am doing her wedding for free....she gets the services and I get the publicity.

But if anyone happens to be getting married, and needs any advice, I will glady help!
I may even start a thread for it the grown-ups lounge....haven't decided anything yet.

I'm getting offline now and hopefully will be back in a few hours with goodies!

I was planning on re-reading the books shortly anyway so if we are going to do it, let me know and I'll hold off a bit longer!

So here are the answers to Quiz 1:

Hey there!

Hey, Zaineb27! How have you been?
Sorry to hear about the storm, Jenny. I've been through 5 hurricanes so I know how horrible it is to go without power. Hope all of the food in your fridge/freezer made it through okay.
