Recently I hosted a Harry Potter Tea Party; it was an all ages affair and I was impressed at the level of knowledge the adults had! One of the games we played was a Harry Potter Who's Who where everyone had a note taped to their back with a character's name on it. The object was to give clues to your partner and they had to guess who their character was.

This game made me wonder if it was possible to do an A to Z of Harry Potter names?
Let's see:
A - Hanna Abbott (part of Dumbledore's Army)
B - Katie Bell, Sirius Black, and Lavender Brown (that's who I was dressed as for the party).
C - Cho Chang, Vincent Crabbe, and Barty Crouch (Jr & Sr).
D - Fleur Delacour and Cedric Diggory (way before Twilight)
E - Marietta Edgecomb (I know, who?)
F - Nicholas Flamel, and Mundungus Fletcher (I love that name)
G - Hermione Granger (of course) and Godric Gryffindor
H - Rubeus Hagrid and Helga Hufflepuff
I - Ivanova. An obscure Bulgarian Quidditch player
J - Angelina Johnson
K - Viktor Krum
L - Bellatrix LeStrange (try explaining who that is to a 9 year old), Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, Remus Lupin
M - Malfoy (yuck) and Professor Minerva McGonagall
N - Theodore Nott (he sees Thestrals)
O - Garrick Ollivander
P - Harry Potter!
Q - Quirinus Quirrell
R - Helena Ravenclaw
S - Rita Skeeter (and her pen)
T - Nymphadora Tonks (Tonks!)
U - Dolores Jane Umbridge (kittens & pink do not make her a nice person)
V - Voldemort, duh.
W - Ron Weasley (or any of them really)
Y - Yaxley, a Death Eater
Z - Blase Zabini, friend of Malfoy
Well, how'd you do? Were you able to name that many?

Since I've never read the books, I'd have a hard time coming up with that list!
ReplyDeletebut surely you recognize Harry's name?
DeleteI've never read the books and have no desire to do so, but I'm familiar with the main characters' names.
ReplyDeletegold star for that!
DeleteI didn't read the books, saw the movies. Harry Potter is as far as I could remember.
ReplyDeletegreat movies though, right?

ReplyDeleteOMG Tonks!!! The series is now on Audible. must check it out...
DeleteThis tea party sounds amazing! I had a Harry Potter themed birthday party once - might have to try this out for this year's celebrations. I'm getting married on 31st July next year and we delibrately chose the date because it's HP's birthday :D
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Are you going to have a HP wedding? Extra points for sharing Cedric Diggory's actor's name!
