Slow and steady

For the Trivia Competition I have (and will remain at) 6 categories.  There are as follows:

                     Spells

                                                       Characters

                      Mythical Creatures

   Hogwarts

                                       Magical Objects

                Dark Arts



So far the game play starts with 16 people in the first round.  If I can manage to procure enough questions, we may even put in an additional round, starting with 32 people.  We'll see how it goes.  But for now I have room only for 16 contestants in the first round, then being decreased to 8 in the second, 4 in the third, and 2 in the fourth and final round, then one ultimate champion.

As of now I am about 1/4 of my way through coming up with questions.  As soon as I recruit more judges I'll have plenty more in no time.

Some of the questions range in difficulty.  Also, most questions will be straight-forward, black and white, right or wrong answers, but some may require an explanation in the answer.  I'll talk more about this in a later entry.

I plan to hold tryouts to pick contestants in early October and have the actual competition in late October.  There will be a minimal fee if you are selected as one of the contestants (at the MOST $5) and this is just so that I can buy prizes for the first and second place winners.  I also want to give away a small consolation prize for those who participated.

Stay posted because in my next entry I'll talk about the prizes we'll give away!

If you have any suggestions or Harry Potter questions you would like to see added in the competition (you will receive credit for it), then please e-mail me at:

And tell me what House you're in :)


Thanks!

Small idea, big project.

I've dedicated this blog to my newly developed (and developing) creation:

Knowledge of the Harry Potter Wizarding World Competition!!!  (Only in the Raleigh, NC area)

This will be for all of those kids and adults out there who are absolutely in love with the Harry Potter world and want to test their knowledge on all 7 books in a friendly, competitive environment.

This project is only in the beginning stages, so stay posted Potterfans!  I have yet to find a big enough place to hold tryouts (we can only have 32 contestants) or even the competition, but that will come in time.

I am currently recruiting judges who will help me develop questions and rank their difficulty levels in order to determine how many points each question is worth.  It's all in my head and I'll explain more of the rules later.

Bye for now!
