	I knew most of these, i just couldnt spell them :(

	STALIN:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 13:00 GMT		15 points
	How I wish I could harness my Harry Potter trivia powers for good. Or at least for exams...

	Kaleb:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 22:25 GMT		0 points
	Wow there are some huge HP fans on here...I got 13

	Stupid Bashir! The only one I missed.

	bekah:	Oct 4th, 2009 at 16:31 GMT		31 points
	think "obsure" is a little shaky. the crouches are pretty important!

	Redwing19:	Oct 7th, 2009 at 21:59 GMT		-4 points
	37/40... like I said on the latest one, I have mixed feelings about scoring so high.

	RS89:	Oct 28th, 2009 at 02:38 GMT		43 points
	"Nigellus" is not Phineas's surname, it's part of his first name. His name is Phineas Nigellus Black. So you should put "Phineas Nigellus" for the first name and "Black" for the answer.

	@RS89 : exactly what I was going to post! For some reason I always get Dedalus and Dirk mixed up...

	ConorONeill:	Nov 20th, 2009 at 23:10 GMT		2 points
	brilliant quiz but as has been said, some characters were rather important. and i only got 37, knew two of them but just couldnt remember whisp!

Comment below threshold: show it

	doubleblack:	Feb 6th, 2010 at 17:55 GMT		4 points
	Great quiz. Fix the nigellus black thing though. Took me forever to finally realize the error and try nigellus.

	ninjasrockmysox:	Feb 6th, 2010 at 19:04 GMT		16 points
	@siouxsie his name is Macnair, not McNair.

	they aren't that obscure

	midwesterndiva:	Feb 15th, 2010 at 19:44 GMT		0 points
	Most of these are very obscure. Several of them even have book chapters named after them.

	EmiClair:	Mar 24th, 2010 at 15:46 GMT		6 points
	Yeah, I don't know that I would go with the term "obscure" as some of these are very important characters. Maybe use only the people you never actually meet, or only meet briefly once or twice. But people like Bagman, Crouch, Lovegood, etc. Definitely aren't obscure and are actually key parts to the story when they do appear.

	BrianF:	Mar 29th, 2010 at 11:29 GMT		11 points
	Nigellus is Phineas Black's middle name! Please fix it!

	krs1291:	Mar 31st, 2010 at 20:48 GMT		4 points
	As many have said, Phineas's last name is Black. Very few of these are obscure. Good quiz if you change the misleading title and fix the mistakes.

	Getoka:	Apr 29th, 2010 at 14:05 GMT		10 points
	Maybe call it 'secondary characters' rather than obscure characters. Kingsley Shacklebolt is hardly obscure, neither is Greyback.

	HP_Geek:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 12:48 GMT		2 points
	I can't believe I got Cattermole :L 36 though-- quite good :)

	halle247:	Jul 10th, 2010 at 15:33 GMT		0 points
	i kept trying to write mcnair, and i remembered florean just didnt know how to spell his last name. i agree with getoka. also you should put reg instead of reginal, they never call him that. please accept black for phineas, as it is hard to spell nigellus, though i managed. a lot of these arent obscure. otherwise its a really good quiz.

	rainbowcrayon:	Jul 12th, 2010 at 06:41 GMT		5 points
	In no way can you argue that Greyback, Tonks, Scrimgeour, and Kinsgley are obscure. Even putting Oliver Wood and Xenophilius Lovegood is borderline... Also, as has been previously mentioned, Phineas' full name is Phineas Nigellus Black, so only Black is his last name.

	siennamarla:	Jul 18th, 2010 at 17:38 GMT		2 points
	balls, I didn't see there were clues..

	Laura4734:	Jul 26th, 2010 at 13:18 GMT		1 point
	Omigod, I must be a HP geek, I actually remembered Quidditch through the ages author! LOL Go Kennilwothy Whisp ;)

	theshow123:	Aug 6th, 2010 at 23:17 GMT		3 points
	Tonks and Kingsley are not obscure! They are two of my favorite characters!

	ex3:	Oct 19th, 2010 at 03:59 GMT		1 point
	Spelled Finch-Fletchley "Flinch-Fletchley" Spelled Whisp "Wisp" Spelled Cresswell "Creswell" Spelled Prewett "Prewet" Ans spelles Thicknesse every way you can think of except the right answer....

	halle247:	Oct 23rd, 2010 at 22:06 GMT		2 points
	i swear when i saw angelina i wrote jolie. wow am i messed up

	hoberwafin:	Nov 8th, 2010 at 01:43 GMT		2 points
	I didnt put a hyphen in Finch Fletchley and it didnt accept it!

	harrypotterFTW:	Nov 15th, 2010 at 22:54 GMT		2 points
	isn't phineas' last name black and nigellus is like his middle name or something...?

	Leakeygirl:	Dec 2nd, 2010 at 21:34 GMT		1 point
	@harrypotterFTW: Yes, it is. Phineas Nigellus needs to be changed to Phineas Black. Or even Phineas Nigellus Black. By the way... I love your name. Loved it! Some of these were really easy... but I did get them all, eventually. Woot for 40/40!

	hoberwafin:	Dec 6th, 2010 at 01:46 GMT		2 points
	Tonks and Kingsley aren't obscure!!!

	bubblypebbles:	Dec 8th, 2010 at 18:40 GMT		2 points
	You need to make his first name Phineas Nigellus and the last name black. Also, please accept Justin Finch-Fletchley without a hyphen!

	withoutmagic:	Dec 13th, 2010 at 16:34 GMT		1 point
	ooh, 38/40 only kennilworthy whisp and marlene mckinnon caught me out!

	bromonster:	Dec 28th, 2010 at 17:47 GMT		3 points
	for gladys i typed in knight (facepalm)

	harrypotterFTW:	Jan 6th, 2011 at 20:42 GMT		1 point
	@leakeygirl: thank you =P... today i had chemistry so and it was really boring, so then i pretended it was potions class... it was much more entertaining =). wooow i really am a mega harry potter geek... well atleast i can use that on sporcle to get a 40/40 on quizes like these =)

	quizzler2:	Feb 4th, 2011 at 03:10 GMT		2 points
	I really liked this quiz but fix Phineas and I would change Rodolphus's clue to say "death eater" instead of "Bellatrix's husband" since I only got him right because I knew Bellatrix's last name.

	aysee:	Mar 3rd, 2011 at 20:27 GMT		1 point
	good quiz...34/40...but for some reason (and i checked i spelled it right and the same as the quiz) finch fletchley didn't work for me so i woulda gotten 35 :(

	LilyPotter17:	Mar 23rd, 2011 at 01:53 GMT		1 point
	i got all of them without even looking at the righthand column... except for whisp.. but then i got it in a few minutes of thinking... i suppose this is a good thing... but it also makes me feel like a pathetic geek. ah well ill take it in stride

	Leakeygirl:	May 30th, 2011 at 15:48 GMT		1 point
	Wow. I got all 40... then read the comments and realized I had played this already. I'm feeling very smart. Still loved the quiz, though. :)

	verypottermaddy:	Jul 6th, 2011 at 02:39 GMT		2 points
	somehow i remembered gladys gudgeon but didnt even notice fenrir greyback?

	teddylupin_snape:	Jul 31st, 2011 at 01:45 GMT		1 point
	got them all, they were easy for me...maybe call it secondary characters, like Getoka said....and for those of you who couldnt figure out the whole finch-fletchley, either you have to type it with the hyphen, or do it as one word: finchfletchley.....or gillian can also accept finch fletchley (with a space)..sporcle counts the hyphenated words as one word
