HP4GU Contest # 1

[joym999 at aol.com]

No: HPFGUIDX 18141

Hello fellow HP fanatics!  Welcome to the first of what will, 
hopefully, be many fun contests.  For those of you who missed the 
introductory post, I will be (with the Moderator's permission) 
posting a contest here every week, on Friday.

I thought I'd start small, so the first contest is pretty basic - a 
garden-variety trivia quiz.  Remember, it is not considered 
"sporting" to refer to the books, the HP Lexicon, or any other 
reference materials in order to answer trivia questions.  A true HP 
fan will answer the questions off the top of his/her head.

But first, the rules.

HP4GU Contest Rules!
1.  Contest responses should be sent by email to the contest email 
address, which is HP4GUCon at aol.com.  RESPONSES SHOULD NOT BE POSTED 
TO THE LIST.  Anyone posting responses, especially puzzle answers, to 
the list will be disqualified from participation in that contest, 
sent a howler, turned into a toad, sent to Azkaban, AND forced to eat 
bubotuber pus. SO DON'T POST RESPONSES TO THE LIST.

2.  Contests will be posted on Fridays.  Responses should be sent by 
email to HP4GUCon at aol.com by midnight Tuesday night.  For puzzle 
contests, both the correct answers and a list of everyone who 
submitted a correct solution by the deadline will be posted on 
Wednesday (or Thursday at the latest).  For creative and speculative 
contests, all responses will be posted, although I might just post a 
random sampling if there are a real lot of responses to a particular 
contest.
