 I love compiling quizzes and thought I'd knock one up for this group.  Any
constructive citicism is appreciated.    Either email answers to me directly
or put up on the board.  If  I get enough response I'll do one for each
 book.

 Please note that this quiz is derived from the BOOK.  NOTHING and I repeat
NOTHING is taken from the film.  All questions are related to The
Philosopher's Stone.
