think "obsure" is a little shaky. the crouches are pretty important!

37/40... like I said on the latest one, I have mixed feelings about scoring so high.

"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.

Perhaps accept 'McNair' in place of 'Macnair'?

Great quiz. Fix the nigellus black thing though. Took me forever to finally realize the error and try nigellus.

Most of these are very obscure. Several of them even have book chapters named after them.

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.

Nigellus is Phineas Black's middle name! Please fix it!

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.

Maybe call it 'secondary characters' rather than obscure characters. Kingsley Shacklebolt is hardly obscure, neither is Greyback.

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.

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.

@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!

You need to make his first name Phineas Nigellus and the last name black. Also, please accept Justin Finch-Fletchley without a hyphen!

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.

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
