	While I'm not a huge fan of the vogue for clickable quizzes, I think this one might work better in that format. As it is, it's too hard for people to guess the exact phrasing you want (e.g., I tried "patronus," "wolf patronus," and "werewolf patronus", but never hit on "Tonks' Patronus" which was the wording you wanted). And I imagine it would be even harder for you to anticipate all the possibilities and offer them as alternates.

	Some of the clues need to be worded more precisely (what does "the loyalty waives" mean?). Other clues have multiple answers that are correct (e.g., "Becomes a horcrux" could be diadem, Nagini, locket)... Also, many of these are not "Chekov Guns"; the items are important in the story, but take on additional significance later on. A good example that you use of a Chekhov Gun is the Weasley newspaper photo, because it is only important during Sirius' reveal; a less good example is Ron's malfunctioning wand, because it had been appearing and causing problems throughout the book.

	I agree with @tjperiwinkle, and I also found some additional problems that NEED to be amended!: 1) Snape's Worst Memory doesn't technically 'foreshadow' his actions, but it shows why he acted how he did in the past. 2) 'Wormtail's Hand' clue is terribly vague. 3) GIANT Wizard's Chess would definitely be a better wording, and a clearer one at that. 4) Many of the other options Help Harry. 5) The Room of Requirement would also work for Hides Important Stuff. 6) Gringotts guards a Horcrux, along with: the room of hiden things, Possibly Harry's Scar, Deathly Hallows Symbol, Harry's First Caught Snitch, Magic Mirror (as in the Mirror of Erised), Mirror of Erised, Nagini, Grimmauld Place, Tom Riddle's Diary. 7) The Dumbledore's Chocolate Frog Card question makes no sense. 8) The Invisibility Cloak has ALWAYS been a Deathly Hallow, it just took them a while to figure that out. 9) Ron Fakes HAVING Spattergroit. You don't really obtain diseases. 10) The Room of Requirement could have had SO many better clues. 11) The Resurrection Stone and the Locket would also be considered to be Ancient Horcruxes. 12) The Resurrection Stone, Harry's Scar, Nagini also turn out to be Horcruxes. And the Diadem, but that was only known as a Horcrux, so... 13) The Nimbus 2000, the Flying Motorbike, and Flying Ford Anglia are also methods of Transportation. 14) Voldemort's stolen a LOT of things. 15) The shared Wand Cores also prevent Voldy from killing Potty. 16) SEE #6! 17) Two-Way Mirror, not Magic Mirror! This isn't Snow White!! :) 18) The Bezoar also brings Ron back. 19) DEMENTORS DONT HAVE MEMORIES! 20) Wizard's Chess, and a Magic Mirror (i.e. the Mirror of Erised) Guard the Stone too. 21) The Sword of Gryffindor also destroys Horcruxes. 22) The Locket and SEE #12. 23) The Room of Hidden Things, Room of Requirement, Vanishing Cabinet, and Hog's Head are also Hiding Places. 24) Harry's scar, His Dreams are also signs of Voldy's soul in him.. 25) DUMBLEDORE'S LOOK OF TRIUMPH???? REALLY!!?!?!?! 26) Harry

	SORRY, it got cut off! 26) Harry's Dreams show what Voldy is doing AT THAT TIME!!! Not what he is about to do!!! 27) As you possibly noticed, i pay no attention to the book titles shown. They're a nice addition, but they seem to bring up a LOT of confusion.

	The chess board does not guard the stone Chamber, Snape's logic test does, with the wine.

	You know, you really should fix all those mistakes. But it's a really cool idea. Maybe you could make the buttons smaller so there's less scrolling up and down though.

	The Hog's Head is also a bad hiding spot in Order of the Phoenix (Dumbledore's Army meeting was overheard) and Deathly Hallows. But I guess if I'd just skipped and gone through more clues, I would have found the clue that actually does describe the Hog's Head. Just something to think about.

	I think the parseltongue one carries through Deathly Hallows, because even though we learn what parseltongue is and that it is caused by a "connection" between Harry and Voldemort in Chamber of Secrets, we don't learn what that connection really is until Deathly Hallows.

	"The Room of Requirement" and "The Room of Hidden Things" are the same place... and for the hint "It turns out to be a hallow" I put "Dumbledore's wand", because it's the elder wand, which is a hallow. But no. Apparently I was wrong. There is a lot wrong with this quiz. I love the concept though!
