From an Outside View Vol. 3
Hello! Welcome to the third edition of "From an Outside View" where I, Meg Witter, will find Muggles on the streets who know nothing about Harry Potter and ask them questions about it! I hope this is as fun to read as it is to write!

 

Today's guest is a woman named Fiona. She is in her mid-40s and is a mom of seven kids! She hears about the Harry Potter franchise through her kids, but she has the smallest amount of prior knowledge known to mankind.
 

Me: Hello Fiona! The first question I have for you is: what country is Hogwarts located in?

 

Fiona: Hello Meg! Oh a hog? Hogs are native to Africa! So Hogwarts is 100% in Africa!

 

Africa is a continent not a country first of all...

 

Me: Well the correct answer is Scotland, though I do like your reasoning! The next question is: How many years do students stay at Hogwarts before they graduate?

 

Fiona: Well my children stay in school from when they are little tiny babies up until university! They're getting so big. Hogwarts students stay for 20 years right? Seems like a boarding school to me.

 

20 years?? That's insane! Where is she sending her kids off to school by golly!

 

Me: Actually, it is only 7 years so you were way off... See if you know this next question: What is the name of the giant dog the golden trio fights in The Philosopher's Stone? I'll give you a hint: It is one of the most basic dog names ever to exist.

 

Fiona: Hmm... a basic dog name... Well it's probably not something obvious like Fluffy. My dear friend Susan named her dog Coco so as a shoutout to her, I will say Coco!

 

How did she manage to get it so right yet so wrong at the same time???

 

Me: Actually, the dog's name is Fluffy! You get partial credit since you mentioned his name without knowing it was correct. The next question is: Who got in trouble for putting their name in the Goblet of Fire?

 

Fiona: The only character I know in the entire series is the titular character Ron Weasley! I love that he has ginger hair just like me! My answer is going to be Ron!

 

Which one of you told her that Ron was the titular character in the HARRY POTTER series?

 

Me: Actually, the titular character is Harry Potter. Hence why at the beginning of the interview I told you that you were taking a Harry Potter trivia quiz? Anyways, this is the last question: Who is the main villain in the Harry Potter franchise?

 

Fiona: ITS THE GUY WITH NO NOSE! VULGARSNORT OR SOMETHING!

 

Wow she knows her stuff! Somewhat...

 

Me: His name is Voldemort but you were super close! I'll give you a point for effort. Thank you so much for taking this quiz! I appreciate you coming today!

 

Fiona: Thank you for having me! I hope my kids are proud of my answers.

 

Me: They definitely should be! Bye Fiona!

 

Thank you so much for reading this week's blog! I apologize for the delay in posting as IRL school has gotten the best of me... I'll catch you next time to when another Muggle gets quizzed with another set of questions! Toodaloo!
