April Showers Trivia

Recommended Posts

Trivia time!

Every week, we’ll post a batch of 5 weather related trivia questions. These will be a mixture of Harry Potter related questions and questions from the non-magical world. You’ll receive 2 rubies per correct answer.

You can answer all questions at any point before the final deadline of 23:59 HOL-time on the 30th of April – you don’t need to answer the questions during the week they were posted.

To submit your answers, please create a group PM with Prof. Sky Alton, Prof. Maxim Trevelyan and Janne Halla all included and title it “April Showers Trivia”. You should use that conversation to submit all your trivia answers.

Happy answering!
