True Potterhead! A Master of the Books!

You’re the kind of fan who debates over house-elves’ rights and remembers every password to the Gryffindor common room. Keep carrying the torch for book readers everywhere!
Muggle Movie-Watcher! You Missed Too Much!
Uh-oh! It looks like you rely a little too much on the movies. While they’re magical, they left out a ton of important details that only book readers know!

Give them a read and try again!
