This is a test thread for an idea bandied about in the irc. For the time being, I've just one Harry Potter character in mind and everybody in allowed to field guesses. Whoever gets the answer right should also pick a Harry Potter character, and we go on forward.

Anyone may now play! Have fun!

To help you begin, I'll throw the first question and its corresponding answer?

1. Is the character a girl?

Yes.

19 Questions left.

 

Is she a student at Hogwarts?

 

Looks interesting. Is she alive at the end of the last book?

Also, how many questions can one questioner ask?

EDIT: Any specific limit to number of guesses?

 

1. Yes.
2. No, she is not a student.
3. Yes, she is alive

Castiel, you can ask as many times as you want. They have to be y/n questions, though. And the game is called 20 questions for a reason...

 

Is she a Witch?

 

Did she die before Harry stated his first year?

 

w. r. t. the number of guesses, I don't mean how many questions we can ask, I mean how many times I can say, Is she X? Obviously there needs to be a limit.

 

Nvm ignore the question. I suck

 

Yeah, removed my question too. Did you change the answers or something?

 

Ignoring Klack's question because I overlooked Constans and did a consequent edit.

Castiel, no limit except you can't exceed 20 questions. When the answer isn't reached by 20, I reveal the answer, and we start with a new character.

1. Yes.
2. No
3. Yes.
4. Yes, she's a Witch

 

Is she married?

 

1. Yes.
2. No
3. Yes.
4. Yes
5. No.

 

Does she have a Pureblood parent?

 

1. Yes.
2. No
3. Yes.
4. Yes
5. No.
6. Yes.

 

Is she a teacher at Hogwarts?

 

Is she a story relevant character? Not just some background name in other words.

 

7. No
8. No

 

Was she in Ravenclaw house?

 

What period are questions like "Is she a student at Hogwarts?" answered for? Harry's time or the epilogue time?

Also, has she ever attended Hogwarts?

 

I can only think of one female character who did not attend Hogwarts..... Fleur. But she is married so that rules her out.
Also what Castiel asked about the time period.
