These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2010-12-06,
and should be interpreted accordingly.

On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days. For further information see
my 2010-11-16 companion posting on "Five Guys Named Moe Questions
from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI5GNM)".

All questions were written by members of Five Guys Named Moe,
and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and
may have been retyped and/or edited by me.

* Game 10, Round 7 - Entertainment - Great British Thespians of Harry Potter

Okay, Muggles... for each picture, you can name *either* the character
from the Harry Potter series or the renowned British actor portraying
the character.

The original handout had two decoys. Name them if you like for fun,
but for no points.
