Harry Potter Trivia Quiz # 136

Answer: C(6,2) x 26 x 26 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 101,400,000 words.



The answer to this problem seems to be very straightforward. We just simply have to multiply the number of choices for each of the two letters and each of the 4 numbers. However, the problem did not specify how the numbers and letters are placed in the codewords(the problem just mentioned that the codewords comprised of 2 letters and 4 numbers and not how the letters and numbers are arranged in the codeword). Hence, the presence of C(6,2). This represents the choosing of the location (out of 6 locations -> 4 + 2) of the two letters. You can also write C(6,4) if you wish to look for the location of the numbers instead of the letters. The two expressions are equal.

Because he lacks his uncle’s signature on the permission form, Harry is not allowed to visit Hogsmeade. Through Fred and George’s generous gift of the Marauder’s Map, he is able to sneak through one of the secret passageways. Wearing his invisibility cloak he manages to frighten Malfoy and his cronies, who are up to their usual trick of harassing Ron and Hermione.

Harry uses the flute that Hagrid made and gave him for Christmas. In the film he doesn't play anything, Quirrel enchants a harp to play and leaves it there. Orpheus put Cerberus to sleep in the famous story of Orpheus and Euridice (pronounced You-rid-us-see.) Orpheus, the musician, fell in love with Euridice, like you do in myths. But no sooner were they married than she was bitten by a snake and died. Orpheus was heartbroken, and was so desperate to get her back that he went down to the Underworld to find her. He made his way past Cerberus by playing music to him, and then tried to persuade Hades himself to let her go. Hades was not swayed, but his wife Persephone convinced him to let Orpheus take Euridice. The God agreed, on the condition that as they walked out of the Underworld he must not look back at his wife. He got past the Asphodel Fields and the River Styx, but just as they were about to step out into the sunlight, he looked back, and she was lost to him a second time. It just goes to show that looks can kill...

Harry, Ron, and the twins were sitting during the Ball because Harry and Ron didn't ask the twins to dance. Harry's date (one twin) got asked by someone to dance, and she left. Ron's date (the other twin) asked Ron if he was going to ask her to dance, he said no, and she walked off.

"Harry Potter" was nominated for Best Original Score, Costume Design, and Art-Set Direction, but lost to "Lord of the Rings", "Moulin Rouge!" and "Moulin Rouge!" respectively.

Professor Dumbledore asks Ron to fetch his owl Errol and send Hagrid's release papers off right away to Azkaban, for Hagrid's immediate release from the prison. Unfortunately his owl got lost and confused, thus causing Hagrid to be late in his return to Hogwarts.

Azkaban, the name of the terrible, feared Wizard prison remains unchanged. The first five books are: "Harry Potter à l'école des Sorciers", "Harry Potter et la Chambre des Secrets", "Harry Potter et le Prisonnier d'Azkaban", "Harry Potter et la Coupe de Feu" and "Harry Potter et l'Ordre du Phénix".

Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Maggie Smith, the late Richard Harris and many more. Directed by Chris Columbus. Known as 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' in the UK. This is the moment when Harry finds out that he is a wizard from Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane), the gameskeeper at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

It is through Fawkes tears that Harry mends. He was told earlier, in Professor Dumbledore's office, that phoenix tears have the ability to heal.

The ever popular Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling had been made into movies. I have seen "Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone". It followed very closely to the book. "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" opened in theaters on June 4, 2004.
