	Good but you should put a source so people can see what the answers are...

	TotalPotato:	Aug 7th, 2011 at 03:24 GMT	1 point
	The source was "reading the books", so I'm afraid I can't help you there.

	TotalPotato:	Aug 7th, 2011 at 03:48 GMT	0 points
	Sorry - I just realised that I missed one. Blame my inexperience in using PivotTable reports.

	nyjet624:	Aug 7th, 2011 at 03:57 GMT	14 points
	Hard to believe "Nox" was only cast twice in the entire series. Awesome quiz though.

	ambition:	Aug 7th, 2011 at 05:27 GMT	2 points
	Yes, I would love to see the answers. I got 10 and then couldn't think of any others except one I was pretty sure wasn't used 5 times (sectumsempra, which made me play the quiz again to make sure). Now I'm curious to see what I missed. Great idea for a quiz, though.

	WackyZacky:	Aug 7th, 2011 at 06:55 GMT	5 points
	A great idea and a very challenging one too. I activated the minefield at 12/21 with 'Reducto' which isn't too bad I suppose... Good quiz and a Curator's Pick.

	TotalPotato:	Aug 7th, 2011 at 11:42 GMT	3 points
	Okay, I've put the answers up as a Google spreadsheet, for those who want to know what they missed.

	kadorwm:	Aug 7th, 2011 at 16:13 GMT	1 point
	Its a good quiz but I don't know where you got your count from because I can think of at least 4 times that levicorpus was said/used and you have it listed as 1.

	TotalPotato:	Aug 7th, 2011 at 16:32 GMT	1 point
	I thought someone might mention that. Only one of those uses was verbal (in Bellatrix's vault) - the others were someone "thinking" the spell.

	dolebanana:	Aug 7th, 2011 at 16:58 GMT	6 points
	Props on all of the effort that went into this quiz. I can greatly appreciate it. The 'older' spells made me nostalgic.

	ambition:	Aug 7th, 2011 at 18:34 GMT	1 point
	Thanks for adding the answers.

	alias571:	Aug 8th, 2011 at 00:11 GMT	5 points
	Gotta love the irony of ending the quiz with "Finite".

	bmo1616:	Aug 8th, 2011 at 01:28 GMT	3 points
	I think the quiz should end on Avada Kedavra regardless lol

	cheesy144:	Aug 8th, 2011 at 02:06 GMT	13 points
	I tried "sunshine daisies buttermellow turn this stupid fat rat yellow" for fun, but to no avail.

	dlh1231:	Aug 8th, 2011 at 21:13 GMT	4 points
	@TotalPotato: I think you should count levicorpus even though it was only said verbally once. The spell is intended to be used nonverbally, it even says so in the Half-Blood Princes's book. But, then again, it would be inconsistent with your rules, so it's your call. That's a tough one though. Anyway, great quiz!

	StarKidLover:	Aug 8th, 2011 at 23:20 GMT	5 points
	I find it funny how 'Lumos' is used to light their wands 20 times, but only put them out with 'Nox' twice.

	TotalPotato:	Aug 9th, 2011 at 00:49 GMT	2 points
	@dlh1231: Yeah, I think you're right, actually. It actually makes the restrictions a bit simpler if I include the non-verbal castings of spells that have their incantations written down, anyway. The quiz has been updated in light of this.

	chippieolamus:	Aug 10th, 2011 at 09:40 GMT	0 points
	why not make a top 30 most used spells as well, and get rid of the minefield?

	TotalPotato:	Aug 10th, 2011 at 10:36 GMT	2 points
	I don't mind if someone else uses the data in my Google spreadsheet and makes a quiz like that (it'd have to be top 25 or 31, though). However, I don't feel any personal urge to make such a quiz.

	arkman:	Aug 10th, 2011 at 16:37 GMT	1 point
	Killing curse gets said like 5,ooo times in deathly hallows

	coolrick92:	Aug 11th, 2011 at 14:07 GMT	-1 points
	i tried alohamora and it didn't set of a mine and it wasn't accepted

	TotalPotato:	Aug 11th, 2011 at 15:22 GMT	6 points
	That's because it's spelled "Alohomora".

	Davidos:	Aug 11th, 2011 at 18:04 GMT	2 points
	dangit nox.

	Davidos:	Aug 11th, 2011 at 19:11 GMT	1 point
	Can't believe crucio is above avada kedavra. Also how many of those 'riddikulus'es are in the same chapter when they learn about the boggarts (my guess would be like 13/15)

	TotalPotato:	Aug 11th, 2011 at 22:31 GMT	1 point
	Only 7, actually. And Mrs. Weasley cast the spell 6 times to try to get rid of the boggart in Order of the Phoenix.

	TotalPotato:	Aug 11th, 2011 at 23:51 GMT	1 point
	Uh... or maybe Lupin cast the sixth one. I don't remember.

	socraticmethod:	Aug 12th, 2011 at 01:00 GMT	0 points
	dangit reducto...

	SpySeverusSnape:	Aug 18th, 2011 at 23:50 GMT	3 points
	ARRRRRGHHHHHHH Nox lol so how did the charaters put their wands light out then!

	robpye:	Aug 26th, 2011 at 19:49 GMT	1 point
	How is crucio abova avada kedavra? and wingardium leviosa only 6? great quiz though

	Davidos:	Sep 4th, 2011 at 18:15 GMT	3 points
	Agh. if only snape hadn't stopped Harry from using that sectumsempra halfway through the incantation when he's running away from hogwarts i could have kept going longer!

	AK_WDB:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 17:38 GMT	1 point
	Good quiz!

	hardyfan614:	Feb 25th, 2012 at 00:56 GMT	1 point
	Ughhh, so frustrating that they didn't try to lock more doors. I lost on colloportus.

	TotalPotato:	Feb 25th, 2012 at 01:06 GMT	1 point
	It's a surprise that this became an Editor's Pick, but a welcome one. Thank you to everyone who's played this quiz (and to Sarahbelle for the accolade)!

	MissLunaLovegood:	Feb 26th, 2012 at 21:45 GMT	2 points
	Argh! Nox and reducto... Great quiz though!

	memandi:	May 26th, 2012 at 13:42 GMT	1 point
	My personal advice: eliminate the wrong answers, perhaps even add them additional answers. This quiz is difficult enough without bombing.
