I'm Harry.

At 83%, tied with Hermione and Ginny Weasley- guess the tie breaker did it. I am also 0% Draco Malfoy. It's a little surprising, I fully expected to be more than 67% Snape.

Well... which is which . I scored the same for 5 people.


Just curious, how many tie-breaker questions did you get? (or, if only one question, how many options were in the tie-breaker). I also had a tie, and got one question with two options.

Uh, no. Nobody reads those books. That's why they sell so poorly.

Ginny Weasly is Harry Potter's best friend's little sister, who eventually becomes Harry's girlfriend and, ultimately... but that would be a spoiler.

I didn't looked into detail.

It's just amazed me that it said I'm Molly , wherein I have same score with other personalities.

It did the same with me, though I only had two with the same score. I think Silly String Theory sussed it out --- the last question ("Which is more important, A or B" (where both A and B were conditions you answered to previously)) must break the tie.

Clearly, you would have gotten Neville Longbottom. Perfectly likable bloke, but if there's a way he can wind up hanging from a chandelier by his shirt collar, he's sure to find it.

I get this a lot Also since I block a lot of Active X and cookies, a lot of webpages don't like me visiting without getting barraged by spam and advertising and become very uncooperative...

I haven't tried taking this particular quiz.

I got Dumbledore 83%, the the next was Hermione. I have a feeling, though, that the way the quiz is worded, self-answering tends to bias it toward those characters.

they said that the quiz is busy please try later, and when I tried for later they said that "you are hermion granger". The percentage count was all 100%.

(Toseek, infact I was consistently waiting for the quiz link by you, because they are really funtastic and gives some excercise to our brain), and today found that one.

Lightbulb Dumbledore

Curiously I come out as Albus Dumbledore (83%), with a 3-way tie for 2nd, at 67%, between Minerva McGonagall, Molly Weasley & Hermione Granger. Ginny Weasley & Rubeus Hagrid trail behind at 50%. Down below the halfway mark we find a 5-way tie at 33% between Fred, George & Ron Weasley, the Dursleys, Severus Snape & Harry Potter himself. Sirius Black & Draco Malfoy get only 17% each, while Dobby & Lord Voldemort are shut out completely.

It figures. When the last Harry Potter book hit the stands in summer 2007, I dressed as Dumbledore for the Harry Potter party at Flintridge Bookstore & Coffeehouse (owned by old friends of mine). A photographer spotted me, shoved a couple of random kids in front of me and took a picture, which showed up on the front cover of the La Canada Flintridge Outlook local newspaper (the picture is copyrighted and I need permission before I can legally post it).

Dumbledore 100%, McGonnigal was next tied with Hermione. I zeroed on Voldemort, Snape, and the Dursleys.

Severus Snape

"I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death — if you aren't as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to teach."

Tied with a bunch of others at 83%.
