A lot of characters in Harry Potter have been given middle names. You can score a half point for any correct name you give for an answer. E.g. if the question was “Who is the title character?” You would score 0.5 points for “Harry”, a whole point for “Harry Potter” or 1.5 points for “Harry James Potter”. Not all characters have a middle name, though there is no penalty for trying. Some characters (like Dobby) only have one name, if this is the case, a whole point is available.
