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.

Oh I would be so upset too! I recall years and years ago that there was an error in one of the history questions in the original set of Trivial Pursuit cards I owned. I think it involved the names of the US presidents on Mt. Rushmore, and (IIRC) they gave *Franklin* Roosevelt as the answer and not Teddy! Horrors!

But this is almost worse, because with the Mt. Rushmore error there is no universe in which the card was correct, so you could easily prove it wrong if called on it. In this case, if you were trying to argue with someone who accepted movie canon, they would just think you were being pedantic, and you're not!

Outrage!
