A SelectSmart.com Harry Potter Selector by Hotohori, created August 2006.
I know, I know...this concept has been done to death, by a number of rather intelligent people. But I wanted to do one, so oh well. First four questions are book 1, next four are book 2, next four book 3, next four book 4, next four book 5, and the last four are generic. Disclaimer.

The first selector question is below.

1. When Vernon Dursley didn't want to have Harry Potter receive letters about Hogwarts, he went away to the shack by the sea. This was a bad decision, and if I were him, I would've stayed and confronted the problem.

2. When Harry Potter wanted to go down the trapdoor, he wanted to go alone. This was a bad thing to do, and had I been him, I would've tried to stick with Ron and Hermione.

Agree 👍

Disagree 👎

3. During Harry Potter's first Quidditch match, Hermione thought she saw Snape hexing Harry, so she went to stop him. This was wrong of her, and had I done it, I would've gathered more facts first.

4. Professor Quirrell wanted to gain power, so he offered himself to Voldemort. Given that he was not an extremely powerful wizard, this was a smart way to gain power.

Agree 👍

5. When Harry Potter had to go into detention with Professor Lockheart, he should not have done as Lockheart said. He should have stood up to Lockheart's idiocy and belittled him so Lockheart wouldn't keep bothering him.

Agree 👍

Disagree 👎

6. When Harry Potter was sent to Professor Dumbledore's office, he did not tell Dumbledore about the voices he was hearing. This may have been wise, because he could have more time to think.

7. When Ginny Weasly wanted to tell Harry something and Percy interrupted, Harry did not hear. He should've gone to her and asked what she wanted to say, so he could know the truth.
