	wow, good quiz. Convincing fakes.

	This is a fantastic idea for a quiz. But, I played it, and I consider myself to be a bit of a Harry Potter nerd, so when it said that Lord Stoddard Withers actually existed in the Harry Potter books, I just couldn't believe it. I would have totally remembered a name like that after all the times I've listened to/read the books. So I went to Harry Potter Wiki to see exactly who this Lord Withers was. Lord Withers has only appeared in the video game for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone. That's pretty obscure knowledge, just something you might want to consider. Again, great quiz.

	a lot harder than i expected! thanks!

	Maybe you could tell us what books the real ones are mentioned in. As I've read all the books many times and Demelza Robins is the only one I can actually remember being in any of the Harry Potter books

	Great quiz. The only name is recognized wasn't from Potter, but from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

	Ambrosius Flume and Demelza Robbins are the only two that I remember...dang, that was a good quiz!

	If you google "Justus Pillwickle", all you get are results to do with the Chamber of Secrets video game. I call foul.

	Also, like lucyinthesky9, I said "no" to that one, because a point is made of the fact that there's no wizarding aristocracy in the books. I just don't think it's kosher to use the video games, not least because Rowling DIDN'T create those characters.

	MSUKent:	Jul 14th, 2011 at 22:18 GMT	2 points
	All: I got all names from Wiki. I apologize that some are from vid games. I made the assumption that Wiki's list would be true Rowling characters, even if minor or obscure. I'm on vaca and will fix as soon as I get computer access.

	MSUKent:	Jul 15th, 2011 at 11:29 GMT	2 points
	Okay. I've broomed (no pun intended) Lord Stoddard Withers and Justus Pillwickle as they are strictly from video games. Sorry for the misinformation. If you see any others you are skeptical about, please let me know. I've also added link to Wiki site.

	you might want to mix it up a bit. i felt that i was typing po or im like 5 times in a row...

	MSUKent:	Jul 19th, 2011 at 11:14 GMT	4 points
	@teddylupin: I've got it set for "Random" so they change order each time.
