Have you got what it takes to grapple against the dark arts?
Can you overcome those-who-shall-not-be-named (ahem, the opposition) and become the champion of all Harry Potter buffs? Well, slip the sorting hat on and get your quizzardry game to level 100.
The ultimate online Harry Potter quiz is happening this Friday, March 27. Hosted by Cork quizmasters Patrick Ahern and Colm Lougheed, this test of wizardry will take place online for everyone’s lockdown needs. There are even generous cash prizes on offer.
Last Friday, the pair ran a Friends-themed quiz, which hosted over 700 teams. Following its success, The Harry Potter quiz will be hosted via a Youtube live steam to ensure as many teams as possible can take part. It uses a conference-style software and even features a system that allocates points for answering speed. This puts a spanner in the works for anyone—probably Slytherins—that turn up hoping to cheat their way to the top.
Pat and Col have said up to 5,000 teams can compete in the Harry Potter quiz. Tickets for the event cost €6 and more info can be found here. Have your wands at the ready, and maybe you’ll win enough money to splash out on a new Nimbus 2000 broomstick…
The duo also confirmed that many more themed quizzes would be on the way through this difficult period.
