	Cool idea for a quiz, was totally stumped on the elements though.

	Rackie:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 02:01 GMT	27 points
	Aww Sir Nicholas de Mimsy Porpington wasn't accepted :(! Good quiz though... Maybe accept snake for serpent, and red for scarlet?

	quiztaker:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 03:41 GMT	5 points
	Nice idea, but the numbering completely threw me off.

	Toungesten:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 21:22 GMT	16 points
	Good idea - poorly executed - elements, inaccuracies (angelina was gryffindor captain at one point, i believe) - some rechecking and could be really good.

	awesomegerbzy:	Sep 28th, 2009 at 20:51 GMT	4 points
	angelina was captain in book 5

	metzger:	Sep 28th, 2009 at 21:51 GMT	5 points
	Snape was still head of Slytherin in 6, Slughorn was head in 7.

	Amybex19:	Sep 29th, 2009 at 03:00 GMT	10 points
	Pretty good. I'm used to hearing the element described as "Air" as opposed to "Wind" though.

	Antares:	Sep 29th, 2009 at 17:10 GMT	2 points
	Sir Nicholas de Mimsy Porpington should definitely be accepted in addition to Nearly Headless Nick. I was also thrown off by "Air" and "Wind."

	HinduJesus:	Sep 29th, 2009 at 17:35 GMT	3 points
	The reason I had to use numbering is because Sporcle wouldn't let me do a different format. I had originally planned to have 4 separate columns, one for each house, but I wasn't able to do that. Sorry for the confusion. As to the facts, I apologize for the mistakes, and I'll fix them when I get the chance. Also, this is my first quiz, so I'm not sure how to allow other things to be accepted for certain answers. Any suggestions?

	sc2987:	Sep 29th, 2009 at 20:05 GMT	3 points
	In the box where you put the answer, you can put a slash "/" after it and then put an alternative answer (as many times as necessary). You should make the colours accepted either way round as well, i.e. gold then scarlet as well as the way you have it. And accept 'snake' as well as 'serpent'.

	HinduJesus:	Sep 30th, 2009 at 19:56 GMT	3 points
	I will change the house numbering to put them in alphabetical order. That seems to make the most sense. G, then H, then R, then S.

	hatessisters:	Oct 3rd, 2009 at 04:30 GMT	4 points
	Why is Slytherin more commonly guessed than Gryffindor? What is this world coming to?

	Jinxxeh:	Oct 4th, 2009 at 22:47 GMT	3 points
	It's probably easier to spell, hatessisters.. People might get confused with the f's and the y in Gryffindor? :P I'm surprised that a lot of people missed Angelina, Cedric, bronze, eagle and the Fat Friar! Maybe I just like HP too much though.. ;]

	Translucentlies9:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 03:37 GMT	4 points
	Because Slytherin is better! haha anyways, really cool quiz! I'm ashamed to say that I am not as great a Harry Potter fan as I once thought XD The elements really confused me though, I've never heard elements paired with the houses, is this something I've just missed completely and is actually common knowledge?

	"Ponoma"?

	hpfan624:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 14:59 GMT	-1 points
	i found this quiz extremely easy... what does that say about my social life... but i tripped up on bronze, i never knew that

	RS89:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 21:07 GMT	9 points
	where did the elements come from? I've never heard of elements being attached to the houses.

	ConorONeill:	Oct 27th, 2009 at 16:46 GMT	1 point
	i just couldnt get bronze:@:@:@:@:@

	popsewini:	Oct 30th, 2009 at 10:16 GMT	-1 points
	Thats so cool. Didn't get bronze either. :P

	Frosc:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 16:34 GMT	-1 points
	Could do with a few minutes more I think.

	chooky:	Dec 7th, 2009 at 15:26 GMT	3 points
	elements?

	oldkent:	Dec 13th, 2009 at 19:52 GMT	1 point
	Really good quiz, Harry Potter is great! The only thing I would change would be the inconsistant capitalizations, not that it makes any difference at all, purely for aesthetic reasons. I guess I'm a little pedantic that way... =)

	ekdubbs2:	Jan 30th, 2010 at 22:12 GMT	1 point
	Awesome! :D

	musicelf:	Mar 19th, 2010 at 23:59 GMT	3 points
	loved it! I've also never heard mention of the elements. I was thinking they might be the gems associated with each house hourglass. Might be something to add, ruby, emerald, etc. Got them all...I'm a total nerd!

	mgwiley26:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 14:40 GMT	4 points
	i'm pretty sure prof. sprout's first name is pomona, not ponoma. awesome quiz though!

	Sporctastic:	Mar 31st, 2010 at 00:29 GMT	3 points
	You should be able to do this with columns for each house. In every Clue box type in the name of the house and in the Extra Column type in the clue you have now. Then in the style tab to 'group by hint' to '2 column' So for example: [Gryffindor] [harry potter] [quidditch captain 7th book] [Gryffindor] [scarlet] [first color] [Hufflepuff] [cedric diggory] [quidditch captain]

	elements?

Comment below threshold: show it

	EmxCatastrophe:	Jul 10th, 2010 at 00:15 GMT	5 points
	@total_randomness: I think its always been look at the banner for their house

	siennamarla:	Jul 10th, 2010 at 11:17 GMT	1 point
	isn't it air not wind?

	total_randomness:	Jul 26th, 2010 at 02:39 GMT	2 points
	@emxcatastrophe: yeah, I was just rereading PS and it's mentioned as an animal Harry first sees on the Hogwarts crest when he gets the first letter. thanks though.

	SarahEdavison:	Aug 11th, 2010 at 14:07 GMT	2 points
	I thought it was 'Salzaar'. I'm retarded.

	jeopardybound:	Aug 31st, 2010 at 00:36 GMT	2 points
	The elements come from an interview with JKR. Not directly from the books, but clever to put it in the quiz!

	Whofan10:	Sep 24th, 2010 at 20:16 GMT	1 point
	I had never heard of the elements before. Good idea for a quiz though.

	Laura4734:	Dec 18th, 2010 at 10:07 GMT	3 points
	Yes, great quiz. I got them all, but I had to guess the elements. I agree with a previous comment - you should include the stones (ruby, emerald etc)

	chelseah:	Dec 18th, 2010 at 10:37 GMT	1 point
	gotten by the element, that was a new information. :) nice quiz.

	samkrum:	Dec 18th, 2010 at 20:30 GMT	1 point
	Just a suggestion you could add head boys or prefects if you could find enough

	Musicalfan:	Dec 26th, 2010 at 22:04 GMT	2 points
	Really don't get the whole elements thing, I just had to run through them all in order to get them. There is no mention of them anywhere in the books or films

	aysee:	Dec 27th, 2010 at 20:47 GMT	1 point
	what the heck is a corresponding element for a house? you might want to just accept yellow for canary yellow and helena ravenclaw for the grey lady. otherwise, clever.
