(and Possible Answers).
Some of you might have seen this elsewhere, but I thought that I would post it here, too. In the next post, you will find a list of 101 "big questions" for Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter VII), and possible answers. (Note that there are some general demographic questions in at the end: we do not ask for your credit card numbers, but feel free to send me those as a private message... )
The third post gives my answers. I put that there so that you will see the format for answering them again. (Yes, they are in the instructions: however, this survey was put together by multiple people who have taught at different levels, so we know that instructions will be ignored! ). Just follow that, and my computer (and it's person) will be happy.....
If it all seems to much, then post some of you answers initially. However, when you finish the survey, then please edit your initial post so that all of your responses are in one post!
If there are questions, send me a private message or post them on a separate thread that I am setting up for questions about the survey.
As I noted, this set of questions and possible answers was put together by committee. Numerous people contributed to it. We have tried to allow for as many Harry Potter ideas as we can, even a few that none of the people putting together this survey buy. After all, our interest is, what are the general thoughts?
This also is going to be posted on one or two Harry Potter centric newsgroups. So, if you run into it elsewhere, then answer it only here or there.
Here is the key to the color coding and any symbols, as well as how to provide answers.
Key:
- Blue: "Chekovian" questions, where the books explicitly wave the questions in front of us or hinted at possible answers via clues or foreshadowing.
- Violet: questions that arise naturally but not explicitly from the books.
- Red: questions arising from Rowling's comments, interviews, web-page, etc.
- Green: demographic questions that give an idea about the type of people who think particular things. (These do not count towards 101 total, so no wise donkey comments!). Do NOT check multiple answers there: instead, check the one that is "most" true or closest to being true if there is some question.
- for "MARK ALL THAT APPLY": do NOT contradict yourself!; those will be bounced.
- &/ = and/or; that is, either or both might be true, but you think that at least one of them is.
- to provide a single answer, type in one line (say) 1. b (number 1, period, space, 'b') to answer "b" for question 1.
- to provide multiple answers, type in one line (say) 3. b c (number 3, period, space, 'b', space, 'b') to answer "b & c" for question 3.
- if you are truly undecided on a question that does not allow for 2+ responses, then enter (say) "1. a/b" My program will read the '/' as an 'or' and tally this as half a vote for 'a' and half a vote for 'b.' Do not add any "or" or "either" or anything like that: '/' will suffice!
- PLEASE DO NOT ADD COMMENTARIES! (I know how hard it is to resist, believe me; but it will make my life a LOT easier!) If you have comments, then by all means raise them on the Harry Potter discussion thread! After all, good questions engender more questions! (Or so my old advisor once told me; that, and never take a wooden nickel from a house-elf......)
So, have it!
