Nineteen-year-old Jacqueline Brocklehurst is probably the youngest woman to have ever taken part in the TV quiz show Mastermind
, according to quizmaster John Humphrys. What's more, Jacqueline impressed Humphrys with her performance on the show.
Jacqueline Brocklehurst got 13 out of 19 questions correct in the "specialist subject" section of the quick-fire quiz.
Her specialist subject was the Potter movies.
She was up against three middle-aged men in the quiz, but she knew her subject better than they knew theirs.
The men scored between eight and 12 points, meaning Jacqueline was ahead at the halfway stage in the quiz.
Jacqueline managed to increase her score to 15 points, but it wasn't good enough to beat her fellow contestants.
The Leaky Cauldron has also posted a list of the questions posed to Jacqueline, and here are a few examples:
Who was the scriptwriter for both films?
Which part was played by Eleanor Columbus?
Surname of actors playing the Weasley twins?
How many Academy Award nominations did PS/SS receive?
Name of town in Surrey where the Dursleys live?
Name of Gilderoy Lockhart's autobiography?

Those seemed fairly easy to me. I knew all but one. I've taken some of the online tests about HP and gotten a pretty good score.

That's actually sort-of odd, considering that "Mandy Brocklehurst" is a particularly minor character, listed in SS.

I really love the kind of quiz show where people get to choose their area of expertise. There are a lot of shows that just recycle the same old questions. This way people learn about new thing they might not have had an interest in before and people with different interests and backgrounds all have a chance. She really knew her stuff. I am a huge fan but there are still 2 questions I didn't have a clue about.

I'm impressed... I knew the answer to some of these but I don't know much about the actors, screenwriters, awards, etc. I did know the one about the Phelps twins, though. I couldn't have done it if I had an hour to think about each question! (unless of course, they were all questions from the books)

The questions seem to be easier and tougher, but it just goes to show that knowledge about any topic is good to know for when you get on a tv quiz show.

Rupert Baby's right. Questions from the book would be much easier. But I can answer some of those. Scriptwriter: That was Steve Kloves, right? Weasleys: James and Oliver (?) Phelps. Surrey: Little Whinging. Autobiography: Magical Me (I hope you all know that one.) See, all you people out there who think Harry Potter is a waste of time? Harry Potter RULES!!

I knew half of them without reading everyone else's posts. Not bad if you ask me. I totally have no idea how many nominations SS got though.
