my favorite thing about this fandom is never knowing if the answers to my hp-verse questions are general knowledge or if they’re some obscure trivia referenced on pg. 418 of Book 6 ‘cause y’all all know the answer off the top of your heads regardless
Does anyone else just have casual encyclopedic knowledge of Harry Potter? This series used to be my entire world but I haven’t really interacted with the fandom in years and yet I still have random facts just sitting in my brain. Waiting.
101 EXPERT (I mean expert) Harry Potter Trivia Questions
So background story is that my sisters and I went to a Yule Ball Harry Potter themed New Years party at a library and they had “expert” trivia which was only 10 questions and was multiple choice (pff lame, cheating) and we got every single one right including the lines but they didn’t count one of ours as right and the tie breaking question was how many birthday presents did Dudley get on his first birthday (of course we’re all IN UNIFORM and my hand shoots up and I’m like “before or after the zoo?”) and it’s before the zoo so we say 37 (”there’s only 36? that’s two less than last year!” “No Diddy, you missed the one from Auntie Marge underneath the big one from Mummy and Daddy [37] and we’ll buy you two new presents while we’re out today.”) And then they counted it as wrong because they said 35 and my Ravenclaw sister has a FULL AUTIE MELTDOWN in front of a bunch of people and looked up the passage on her phone and person refused to accept our answer and blah blah long story short we had to escort her yelling into the parking lot about the unfairness and I promised her I would write her 101 EXPERT-Expert level trivia questions. She then proceeded to grade her answers by halves and was annoyed she only got a “C.”
So, without further ado, 101 EXPERT HP Trivia questions under the cut. (Don’t use the internet or books! That’s cheating!)

My friends and I were discussing Harry Potter, and my friend that had only recently started reading the series asked for Harry Potter club names. One of my friends and I instantly blurt an answer, like it’s a trivia challenge. Of course, I say Dumbledore’s Army. My friend, on the other hand, says Deatheaters. We stared at each other for a moment, stunned by each others’ answers... I think our responses about sum up our personalities.
