Those fans who want to sharpen their Harry Potter prowess before book five arrives this summer might try So You Think You Know Harry Potter: Over 1000 Wizard Quiz Questions by Clive Gifford. The presentation here is straightforward: 300 questions devoted to each of the first four books, divided into easy, medium and hard levels, with complete answers in the back. For an easy one about Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (note use of the British title) try number 32: ""How many players are there in a Quidditch team?"" Those with more prodigious Potter memories might try number 294: ""Harry's mother's wand was made from wood from which tree?"" The introduction suggests getting together with friends for a Harry Potter quiz challenge, which might well be the best way for young readers to dip into this dizzying volume.
