All Deaths in Harry Potter

Pretty much all the deaths that occurred or were mentioned in the seven "Harry Potter" novels are taken into account - except the deaths of a spider and a fly that had zero relevance to the plot, and deaths related to Wizarding History. Consider that anything that was not specified in the books themselves was overlooked. The "Second Wizarding War" includes everything that happened after Peter Pettigrew escaped arrest in the third book. When possible, the deaths were ordered in chronological order. When known, both the first and the last name of the person have to be written.

Nice idea but a lot of problems:

1- this quiz should be in "english" section, not "french"

2- a lot of names don't work, such as:

- Hagrid's father

- Tom Riddle senior

- Lavender's bunny

- Hagrid's chickens

- unicorns

- Barty Crouch senior

- Moody / Alastor Moody

3- I don't see the point of guessing "unidentified people"

4- you forgot Hagrid's mother

Thanks for the feedback !

1 - This is indeed a big problem. I'm not sure why that's the case. When I checked, the selected language was English.

2 - Are you sure you typed "Hagrid's father", "Hagrid's chickens" and "Alastor Moody" correctly ? When I redid the quiz to ensure there was no problem with the type-ins I'd already added, those answers worked.

I added "Moody", "unicorns", "Tom Riddle Senior" and "Barty Crouch senior" as type-ins, since I hadn't thought of those ones (I had indeed only included "Mad-Eye", "Alastor Moody", "2 unicorns", "Barty Crouch Sr" and "Tom Riddle Sr" as type-ins).

As for Lavender's bunny, considering it has a name I'd prefer keeping the quiz as it is.

3 - You don't necessarily have to guess "unidentified people" - this is only to be precise once the answer is found. What I expect people to remember is that there were about fifty people who died during the Battle of Hogwarts on top of the ones we know about.

4 - Big overlook. Thanks !

Good quiz! A couple type-ins to add could be “Mykew Gregorovitch” for Gregorovitch and accepting Mr. Hagrid or Mr. Longbottom (referring to his grandpa). Also add Ariana and Kendra Dumbledore.

Otherwise, pretty good!!
