20 Questions (Vol. V)

21. Does it have any connection to the Tri-Wizard competition?

1. Is it magical? Yes it is.
2. Is it now, or has it ever been, alive? No.
3. Is it a thing? Yes.
4. Is it seen in more than one book? Yes.
5. Is it first seen in an odd numbered book? No.
6. Is it first seen in a book with 'of' in the title? Yes.
7. Is this thing tangible? Yes.
8. Can this thing be owned by someone? Yes.
9. Is it first seen in CoS?No.
10. Is it owned by someone at Hogwarts? I'm going to say yes ... but there may be "strings attached" to that answer.
11. Is it owned by a male? Again, I'm going to say yes. If it IS owned by a specific person (rather than just "being there"), that someone would be male.
12. Do we see this thing outside of Hogwarts? No, I don't think we do.
13. Is this thing owned by someone who is at Hogwarts, but not a student or otherwise employed at the school - a visitor? Hmmm ... I think there are two (possibly four) questions here. I'll answer the first question: Yes, this thing is owned by someone who is at Hogwarts. I think you need to rephrase the second part of the question, because it's really three questions: 1) Is this person a student? 2) Is this person employed by Hogwarts? 3) Is this person a visitor? Since the answer to each part is different, I definitely can't answer it with one answer. Sorry to be so vague.

15. Is the owner a professor? Yes, the person I THINK is the owner is a professor.
16. This thing is owned by a Hogwarts professor - do we ever see a similar thing owned or used by someone else? This thing or one like it--which is the case is unsure--makes another appearance.
17. Do we see this thing in the headmaster's office? No.
18. Do we see this thing as part of a lesson in a Hogwarts classroom? No.
19. Do we see this thing on the grounds of Hogwarts? If you mean outside the castle, no.
20. Does this thing have any connection with the Yule Ball? No.
21. Does it have any connection to the Tri-Wizard competition? No.

That is why I answered some questions (#10, 13, 15, 16) as I did (strangely). I wasn't sure if the Foe-Glass was actually owned by Moody (for obvious reasons), Barty, Jr. (as a means of protecting himself), or Hogwarts, given the fact that we may see it again (Harry wasn't sure) in the RoR the following year, during the DA classes.

Thanks Soli and PAH - I'll think of something and get back here to post it.
