Frequently Asked Questions
How hard should Harry Potter trivia be?
Mix difficulty levels: start with questions any movie watcher knows (houses, spells, main characters), then escalate to book-only details like wand cores, minor characters, and plot points the films skipped. That keeps casual fans engaged while giving Potterheads a chance to show off.
How many trivia questions should a pub quiz have?
A standard pub quiz has between 40 and 60 questions, typically organized into 4-6 rounds of 8-10 questions each. Most trivia nights run 60-90 minutes, so 40-50 questions is the sweet spot. Each round should mix easy and harder questions so every team scores some points.
