Here are some quotes and questions we talked about from the evening:
What would your happiest memory be to summon a Patronus charm?
What was the last word, at the last chapter of Deathly Hallows?
Was there a particular part that brought you to tears?
Professor Snape, evil or not?
At Kings Cross, what was the ‘child’ making noise under a chair?
Why does Voldy believe that he is the only person ever to have discovered the deepest secrets of Hogwarts (the Room of Requirement as a hiding place), when the room is so clearly full of centuries of hidden objects??
"Aren't you two ever going to read Hogwarts: A History?"
"What's the point? You know it all by heart, we can just ask you."
''What's that?'' said Ron, pointing at a large dish of some sort of shellfish stew that stood beside a large steak-and-kidney pudding.
''Bouillabaisse,'' said Hermione.
''Bless you,'' said Ron. (HP4, I just really like this quote)
" Pathetic! With the whole wide world of ear-related humour before you, you go for holey?"
In the chapter, the 7 Potters, why does Harry's wand act by itself and cast a spell that Harry doesn't even know?
Who is your favorite character? Why?
"Of course this is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on Earth should that mean it is not real?"
Can you name all 7 Horcruxes?
Who is RAB?
