Oh Winky22, you clever girl . I thought to myself, I can't remember jk mentioning the Ravenclaw ghost, or had she? Was it Peeves?...No he is the Hogwarts poltergeist. Was it the Bloody baron?...No he is the Sly. House ghost. Was it the Fat Friar (even the Fat friar I had to look up in the books)...No that is the Huffl. house ghost. I knew Nearly Headless Nick was the Griff. house ghost. There was no mention of the Ravenclaw ghost that I could find. I thought, am I going to have to read every single book just to answer this question? I skimmed each one and I was actually considering reading them all again, but that would take way too long. And then I had a vision - oh yes - a vision came to me . The Mugglenet encyclopedia. Ahha! I found the answer I have been looking for. The Ravenclaw ghost. The discription says that there was 'no mention of the Ravenclaw ghost in the books', but I found out the name nonetheless because the encyclopedia explained everything about the ghost. hehehehehe! ;D :)So, you were very clever, BUT not clever enough Answer: The Grey Lady I think we need something really simple after that one. Thanks for that Wink. That was actually quite fun (I did enjoy looking it up- I do welcome the challenge). BTW - I love this thread. Who started this? Oh you did Winky22. Great idea! I am full of great ideas, thats me! i'm glad it gave you a challenge now i am stuck on this one. i do a bit of researching and get back to the thread, unless someone beats me to it.

Q: How does Dobby refer to the Room of Requirement?[/quote]
Answer: "The come and go room" (I believe) I thought it was the unknowable room, but that was just the title of one of the chapters that dobby was in (he never said the name of the room) He called it "the come and go room" when he was telling the trio of a place to practice DADA.

Q: What is the function of a Kwikspell? And, in whose office did Harry find an envelop of a Kwikspell? The Function of a kwikspell is to help an witch or wizard who is bad in magic or Squibs who are born in magical families and seem to not have the power of an witch or wizard. Harry found an envelope of a kwikspell in Filch's office in CoS. Q: Who is Ravenclaw's head of house?

O.K. Winky22, I surrender to your quiz question *my hands are in the air*. Does anyone know the answer? I can't remember off the top of my head, and I can't even look this one up if I tried. My husband told me last week that he found my book 4 , and I believed him. Little did I know that he can't tell the difference between book 4 and book 5? Aaaarg . I love him, but he gets the couch tonight! Update: Incidentally, I did not send my husband to the couch. I am not that mean and I love him too dearly . What do you think I'm a witch? No...I'm just a muggle ;D!

Q:In GoF what marks out of ten did Karkaroff give Harry for his first Triwizard task? Wasn't it 4? (Or, maybe 5?) Q: Ron had a couple 'pet names' for Hermione's SPEW: SPUG and ELF (my favorite!) . . . what do they stand for?Ok, so I know this is actually two questions . . . but they're related! Alright - just answer which ever one you can/want to.

That was so mean Winky22...you know I can't find my book 4...and I have given up hope in finding it . But I am going to guess anyway, because I am not going to go down without a fight ;D. I am going to guess that it is Miranda Goshawk, because she is the one who also wrote grade 2 . HaHa! [/quote] Q: What color, make, and Model is Ron's Dad's flying Car ?
