Description

This is a Harry Potter quiz book like no other. It won't be asking you questions like "what school did Harry Potter go to?" (If you are a Harry Potter fan, then of course you know the answer!) Rather it asks questions which will develop your literary appreciation of the Harry Potter books and your general knowledge of the Harry Potter phenomenon. Some of these questions are easy, quite a few are fiendishly difficult, and several of them really don't have simple answers, but thinking about possible answers is what it is all about. No book achieves anything approaching the success of the Harry Potter series unless it includes something that makes us all think. This Harry Potter Quiz Book aims to draw your attention to some of these big questions. Knowing the name of Harry Potter's school is not likely to change the life of any one of us, but thinking about the moral issues raised in the books might do just that.

    I was expecting trivia on stuff inside the books, not vocabulary! This is one of the questions that appear within the book: “71. What sort of factual information might you put into answering such a question? Harry Potter took his facts from the history of witchcraft imagined by J. K. Rowling, but you can answer with reference to the real and terrible history of witch burning. What do you think? Was it pointless burning witches? Or was it justified?” Excerpt From: Davis, Graeme. “The Unauthorized Harry Potter Quiz Book.” Microsoft, 2010-07-05. iBooks. This material may be protected by copyright.

    Awful. Not a single question about the SERIES that could test a true fan. Waste of 2.98

    I don't know the school Harry potter went to, but I know which school Percy Jackson went to. It's called Yancy Academy. Btw, camp half blood is NOT a school!
