Transfiguration Club - Quiz Answers and Points!

[omfgerbear.livejournal.com]

Hello, hello, Tansfiguration Club people! It's the 17th, which means that the Quiz is over and it's time to hand out points!

It was supposed to end yesterday afternoon at around 5, but our Chemistry lab class unexpectedly went into overtime. Haha. So I'm doing it today, just before Statistics class. ^^

Here are the answers to the quiz:


1.) Which do Fred and George Weasley's Headless Hats use: Invisibility or Vanishing? Invisibility, of course, since you'd be totally disoriented if your head were elsewhere. XD
2.) What are the origins for the Vanishing Spell's incantation? The Vanishing Spell, Evanesco, is Latin for Vanish. ^^
3.) This large bird, thought to be extinct by Muggles, actually has the ability to Vanish at will. The Diricawl, also known as the Dodo bird.
4.) This magical creature is usually Invisible, except when the person who sees is had previously "seen death". The Thestral.
5.) Name three modes of transport which use Vanishing Magic. (3pts) Portkeys, Floo Powder and Apparition. I shall also accept House Elf Vanishing, and Vanishing Cabinets.
6.) This book, which can hardly be found in the Hogwarts Library, contains thorough discussions on Invisibility. This book can also be purchased from hh_diagon for an extra two points if you're a Transfiguration Club member. ;) The Invisible Book of Invisibility. :) (And since Diagon calls it just 'The Invisible Book', I'll accept that, too.)
7.) Montague, a Hogwarts student who fell into a Vanishing Cabinet, ended up here after a few weeks.Crammed up a toilet. XD
8.) Harry Potter often wonders whether his Invisibility Cloak works on this particularly infamous animal. Mrs. Norris, but I'll accept any other Cat. XD

And the not-so-bonus Word Find:


Haha. I hope you had a hard time sorting out all those misspelled words and non-Invisibility related stuff. Bwahahaha. XD I put a Harry, Hermione, and Ron there, plus my LJ Username, RAVENCLAW RAH RAH!, lolcat, Snape, Leviosa and lots more. XD Haha. I cracked myself up just making that. Too bad I forgot to get it approved. *fael* Haha.

Which answer did I get wrong? *looks* None, so why only 9 points? *looks* No point explanation on the activity post.

8 questions, 10 points? Explain please?

There were eight questions, but one was worth three points. :) I asked for three modes of transport, right? XD

In that question, you answered "Vanishing Spell", along with the correct answers "Portkey" and "Apparition". I can't accept the Vanishing Spell part since it encompasses the Portkey, Floo Powder, AND Apparition. ^^

Clear? XD

So, even though the Vanishing Spell (http://www.hp-lexicon.org/magic/spells/spells_v.html#vanishing_spell) is its own spell, it doesn't count? Cause the lexicon clearly lists it, and none of the other types of "Vanishing Magic" are used in the same way.

Carly/Ravenclaw

I see your point, but I asked for three uses of Vanishing Magic in transportation. The Vanishing Spell in itself isn't described as a mode of transport. :/

Sorry. ^_^

Gerry//Ravenclaw

[gluedupsidedown.livejournal.com]

Fair enough.

Carly

[omfgerbear.livejournal.com]

Aww~! I hope you're not annoyed or anything. :( I'd be crushed. T_T

It's still a Ravenclaw win, though. :)

[gluedupsidedown.livejournal.com]

Nah, I'm good.


Woo. Claws! Great job everyone!

[daisy-cannibal.livejournal.com]

Yay Slytherin!!!!!!

And congrats to sunflower_pixie and kecchin!
