20 Questions (Vol. VII)
This game was originally started on World Crossing by shepherdess - Oct 8, 2008 1:11 pm On October 8, 2008
shepherdess posted the following:
I've found this game works well on my family forum, and I think it might be fun here too.
For anyone unfamiliar with the game, it works like this:
Basic rules:
1. Someone thinks of something--a person, place or thing (in this case, HP related, of course).
2. Others ask "yes" or "no" questions to gain information about the subject.
3. Only 20 questions are allowed. If it isn't guessed within the 20 questions, that person gets another turn. If it is guessed, the person who guessed it goes next.
The rules may need to be modified as we adapt the game for this forum. Some things we might want to consider are:
1. Should things like spells, book titles, etc. be allowed as they may be very difficult to identify within a 20 question limit?
2. Should we increase the number of questions to allow for very obscure things?
Tip: I've found it most helpful if, when asking a question, you number your question, so it's easier to keep track of how many questions have been asked.
So I will start the game off, and see if anyone's interested in playing. I'm thinking of something HP related, and you have 20 questions to identify what I'm thinking of. Let the questioning begin!

Congratulations Shepherdess. Bella's wand was temporarily in Harry's possession, it went to Shell Cottage with Harry, and was later used by Hermione when she Polyjuiced into Bellatrix to go to Gringotts to look for the horcrux. Well done!
**In the Still Unanswered Questions thread just this past week, Julia said, "In this case, the fact that Hermione wanted to use Bellatrix Lestrange's vault disguised as Bellatrix Lestrange would have created suspicion among the goblins even if they hadn't known that Bella had lost her wand."**
