    I have had dozens of people tell me these exact words. Of the people who actually read the books, I would conservatively estimate that 90% loved it and thanked me for helping convince them.

    Harry killed the last horcrux when he killed Tom Riddle. Part of Tom Riddle's soul was still left inside him.

    Yes. But the snake was still alive and still a horcrux

    When Harry killed Tom Riddle the snake was still alive? I must have my memory of the last book way off. I thought Tom Riddle is attempting to quiet everyone claiming Harry had run away. When Harry comes back to it, chaos reigns and Neville kills nagini with the sword. Then Harry and Tom duel.

    The corporeal form of Tom Riddle is not a Horcrux. Is it just my headcanon that insists that a Horcrux is created by a specific dark ritual that you have to murder someone with? So, at the very least, the corporeal form brought to life by the graveyard ritual is not a Horcrux, nobody died (except Cedric, killed by Pettigrew). Yeah, pretty much, not a true Horcrux. A shard of soul, fine, but not the same.

    Yeah, that's just Voldemort himself, not a horcrux.

    Neville destroyed the last horcrux, rode off into the sunset like a boss, and married some witch and had a million babies (Hannah Abbott? is that right? Also, I don't think he had kids in the canon. Too busy bonin' to have babies.)

    What was the final score in the quidditch game that clinched Gryffindor's first Quidditch cup in 50 years?

    I had a couple ideas in my head. I thought it was either him figuring out electricity, telephones, or airplanes worked but I couldn't remember for sure. I think the telephone and electricity quotes may have come from when Harry escaped to The Burrow in Chamber of Secrets that I'm mixing up with that scene.

    They had to win by 200 or something... so Harry had to wait.

    I want to say it was 210-10... but 240-40 is also in my head.

    That was the game where they needed to be up by 60 before the Snitch to catch Slytherin in points but I don't remember the exact final score.

    200 seems too much. Jeremy seems closer. 60? Maybe 50 ahead?

    No they had to be up by a certain amount...I think it was 60 before he caught the snitch and got the 150 points.

    Another Quidditch question: what was the score of the Bulgaria-Ireland Quidditch World Cup game and who caught the Snitch.

    My fiancee asked me this one the other night thinking she'd stump me and was so mad when I immediately answered it.

    Clearly Krum caught the snitch. They lost by 10. Which, as Binge Mode pointed out, why did he do it? "Because they were never going to catch up to Ireland's attack." 10 points though man? You can get one goal, come on.

    Can't remember the exact score but Ireland won but Krum caught the Snitch. Then Bagman gave the twins fake gold and it disappeared.

    Here is an easy one. What were the ingredients for the potion needed to return Voldemort to corporeal form?

    bonus points if you know the incantation that went along with it.

    Blood of the enemy (Harry), bone of the father (Tom Riddle Sr.), flesh of the servant (Wormtail), and I think Nagini's venom (I don't remember it's fancy name from the incantation)

    Something along these lines:
    Flesh of the servant, willingly sacrificed
    Bone of the father, unknowingly given
    Blood of the enemy, forcibly taken

    I gave you credit because I'm 99% sure that Nagini's venom helped Voldemort get the babylike form he needed to go through the next part.

    "Bone of the father, unknowingly given, you will renew your son! Flesh of the servant, willingly sacrificed, you will revive your master. Blood of the enemy, forcibly taken, you will resurrect your foe."
