  4. 1. By an owl.
    2. No idea!
    3. Harriet? Snowy? No idea, really.
    4. No idea!
    5. No, I only read the first one. I was too old, I think, to really "get into" the Harry Potter phenomenon. But if I'd been a kid, I would have loved it, I know!

  5. I can't answer any of your questions as all the HP movies are completely baffling. I have no idea what's happening although the visuals are very entertaining.

  7. I got all of them.
    Some day I hope to reread the books. I found them depressing. Mind, she did a splendid job with the universal story "Slaying the Monster'. Alas, the 4 books leading up to the conclusion were a downer for me.

    1. I can understand that, I was surprised by how I was glued to them. A couple of them were long-very-very-long

  8. How was Harry Potter's invitation to attend Hogwarts delivered? Through the mail slot ...by the hundreds??

    What were the standardized tests at Hogwarts called? Uh oh ... I'm out.

    What was the name of Harry's Owl? JK Owling? I seriously have no ide.

    What was the name of a nasty message from home known as? I've seen all the movies and, again, I've no idea!

    Did you read all of the books? I have not, which explains my abysmal answers.

    1. Blobby had it right the first time, and yes the invitation arrived by the hundreds, delivered by Owls, Ordinary Wizarding Levels aka OWLS, Hedwig, hOWLer, - someday when you are looking for something to entertain yourself for a month, reading the books is diverting. Oh, he does not die at the end.

    2. I do want to read the books because there's always so much more in them than on film.
