What color are the GryfE.ndor Quidditch robes? What kind of creature is Norbert the Norwegian Ridgeback? How many players are on a Quidditch team? These are the types of questions that boggled teams in the Harry Potter Trivia Game Show Thursday, Nov. 18 in the Flight Deck. Hosted by Student Union Board, the final result depended on who could complete a Harry Potter jigsaw puzzle the fastest. Jennifer Bowman, Belinda Pina, and Lauren McElhenny were members of the winning team who won prize packs, which included a Harry Potter DVD set and gift bags.
Above (from left to right): Lauren McElhenny, Belinda Pina and Jennfer Bowman revel in their completion of the Harry Potter puzzle.

"These tales will tell the truth about the life; the sex, guns and cash; the brutal highs and short lives of the players on the streets," remarked the publisher during a press release. Basically, the written word is an extension of his bad rapping career. According to Yahoo! Entertainment, the books are apart of his G-Unit Line, and his posse will be characters in his fictional tales. 1bis is unbelievable and quite unacceptable. There are writers out there with more talent in their nose hairs than 50 Cent could ever possess! Apparently, the person responsible for penning these blasphemous novellas is Nikki Turner, author of 1he Glamorous Life and A Hustler's Wife. These are the times when book banning should actually be used. Please, someone--anyone -ban these books back to the streets.
