So, I don't remember if this is from the books, or the movies, but . . .

why did Harry Potter live in the cupboard under the stairs?

Because that is where his Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia gave to him as his room while he was living with them.

Yes, but do you remember why he was moved there? He did start off in an actual room. THIS WAS WRONG. SORRY. SEE BELOW.

I'm anxious to learn the answer to this as I was under the same impression as Barry.....it was the room his uncle and aunt gave him. I know they moved him into a bedroom when he received his acceptance letter from Hogwarts.

Good question Golda! You got me stumped!

Okay, I was wrong on the first one. He was put in the cupboard under the stairs when his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon received him, as Petunia wanted nothing to do with the wizarding world, so didn't want to be reminded of him, or her sister. You'd think, after as many times as I read the books, the info wouldn't get scrambled, in my head. :?

So, next question is an easy one . . . who was a living balloon?

It was!

Okay, next question is a bit harder: What was the date the first book was published?

I have June 26, 1997, but the UK was definitely correct and your information could be more accurate than mine. I can obviously get things wrong. :lol:

Without looking it up, can you tell me the names of the Weasley children in order, from oldest down to youngest?

I solemnly swear that I have NEVER read the series and have only seen parts of each of the movies...Yes, most of my kids are Harry Potter fans so I should know this stuff!
