COMPLETE OUTRAGE

[birdsofshore]

I got given Harry Potter trivia for my birthday, which is fab, and we've had a lot of fun with it.

BUT WOULD YOU LOOK AT THIS?





(Sorry they're sideways, by the way - I'm on my phone and I can't work it out).

Mr Birds is laughing but I am OUTRAGED. Gregory Goyle? How dare they! It's because they had to change it in the blinking film, isn't it, because the actor playing Crabbe was in prison... but that doesn't meant that Goyle ACTUALLY DID IT! *head explodes*

Mr Birds is questioning the validity of valuing one fictional version of events over another fictional version of events. Bastard.

I KNEW YOU'D ALL UNDERSTAND. Come and writhe in anguish and irritation with me.

It gets worse. Two of the answers are wrong. There's the Crabbe/Goyle mess up. I think that they should have either asked "In the movie..." or not have expected that answer.

The yellow question is also a mess. There are several people in the elevator with them, but Umbridge is not one of them. Umbridge is on level one, not in the elevator (though Harry and Hermione are technically in the elevator when they first see her).

Omigosh! You're right! Is that a book/film cock up, too? I don't remember who they meet in the film. I am very suspicious of all the answers I've got wrong in this game now! It's not my dodgy memory at all, it's book/film canon conflict ;)

It must be. I reread the scenes just to be sure I wasn't losing my mind. There is no way you could get that answer from the book. Umbridge is never on the elevator with them. The book answer might be something like "several unnamed ministry workers" or "man with bushy mustache."

I think you'll have to treat it as a movie trivia game. Or as a paperweight. Or as a doorstop. It might be successful at that. :-)
