sionnach Does this mean that the irritating Dobby was a boggart? Apr 6, 2009
honeycomb A member of the fairy tribe similar to a hob, hobthrust, hobgoblin or brownie. They tend to inhabit isolated farmhouses in Northern England, and have done since Tyme Immemorial. Of a helpful nature, they'll do all kinds of housework, but are inclined to play pranks if not given their customary bowl of milk. Nowadays, their misbehaviour is ascribed to poltergeists. If offered clothes they will leave for good. Apr 6, 2009
reesetee Slanticular? Excellent. Jan 15, 2008
sionnach Thanks, mollusque - no worries about quiz number 4, which was probably a little too long and obscure in places. I hope to have a quiz 5 in the not-too-distant future. Jan 15, 2008
mollusque Okay then, I'll encourage you: Sorry I was snarky on Quiz Time 4. I hope you'll run more quizzes; they were fun (until I blew a gasket from too much unrequited slanticular thinking). Jan 15, 2008
sionnach The *last* thing you want to do is encourage me. Tee-hee. Jan 15, 2008
reesetee Cut it out, sionnach. I've exceeded my daily allowance of laughing my ass off. Jan 15, 2008

yarb A sort of goblin creature, I think. Looking at the lists this word appears in, it seems that boggarts feature in the Harry Potter novels. Jan 15, 2008
