Bah, it took me 40 seconds. I almost forgot Charlie’s name. Shame on me, considering I write HP fan fiction (yes, I’m aware I’m a dork, thanks).

This was awesome! Next you should do Name the Members of the Order of the Pheonix and/or Death Eaters. In like 3 minutes.

Wow, I’m dorky.
Eight seconds.
I, too, blanked on Charlie. I got the others in about five, and it took a moment to remember him.

Sam, I’m very proud that you know that answers, but next time, refrain from yelling them out so that the rest of the class has a chance to take the quiz without your help.
:D

Finally, a quiz on a topic I know. 8 seconds. :)

SEVEN SECONDS.
They’re practically members of my family. I wanted to marry Ron when I was younger. Come to think of it, I still kind of do…
