The Lamb Inn quiz team visited Sampford Peverall last night to play The Merrymeade 'B' team. We were romping ahead until we got stuck with a round of questions relating to the Harry Potter novels of J.K Rowling. We scored a mighty zero out of ten on that round and ended up losing the contest by three points, although we did have the consolation of winning the beer leg.
Whilst I can understand the attraction of the Harry Potter novels if you are between say, ten and fifteen, I cannot understand the attraction of them for the older generation. Perhaps many of the older readers of Rowling's novels are former public school pupils who fantasise about what their old school might have been like with the addition of a bit os sorcery.
As a quizzer, I get a bit fed up with the amount of questions you get on Bond films and Harry Potter.
Give us more history questions, I say. Less muggles and more Muggletonians.
If you dont know who the Muggletonians were they were a seventeenth century religious sect. Google, as always is your friend in these matters.
