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?

That's so cool. I think I'd do better as an "expert" on the books, rather than the movies, though.

I would have chosen the books, too, Malakite. I'm sure that I know more about them than about the movies. In fact I wasn't able to answer all questions, but most of them. The most difficult in my opinion was the one about the Academy Awards. But 13 out of 19 is a good result. Especially because of the fact that everybody is nervous in a TV Show and I don't think Jacqueline wasn't.

Those aren't that hard. The only one I thought was hard was: How many Academy Award nominations did PS/SS receive? It would have been fun to play the quiz. I wish they would post all the questions!
Ha ha. I forgot to click on the link to the other questions. I was stumped by:
Which castle used for Flying lesson scene?
How many Academy Award nominations did PS/SS receive?
and thought the snake was from Brazil.
Guess it wasn't as easy as I thought!

Those questions are actually kind of easy (I know the story behind the movies than the one in them). They should have questions like: Who was the director's assistant? Now that's hard! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!

Clever girl though!

Wotcher_Tonks - check your data! I have PS being nominated for 3 Oscars, but not winning any of them:
Art Direction
Costume Design
Best Original Score
I am hoping the PoA will score some big awards in 2004. It should - we are, after all, waiting 6 months more than usual to see a finished product!

PS/SS nominated for three Oscars? I didn't know that - cool!
I think I would be better answering questions regarding the books than the movies, too. I believe I know them by heart, but definitly I would start stammering with questions like "Name all the witches/wizards mentioned in HP5, who are in the order!". There's still a lot to memorize...

Congratulations. She must have really watched the films a lot of the times and remembered everyobodies real name. I couldn't have done it - I wouldn't have want to either. As good as the films are the books are still better.
