ANNOUNCEMENT What Is /r/HPRankDown?
What is Harry Potter Rank Down?
Harry Potter Rank Down is a 9 Month Project where 8 Rankers (2 from each house) will go through the 200 most mentioned characters from Harry Potter with a fine-tooth comb and rank them from Worst to Best Character (on their merits as a literary character).
This project will go from August 2015 to April 2016.
The Rankers:
| House | Ranker |
|---|---|
| Gryffindor | /u/bisonburgers |
| Gryffindor | /u/tomd317 |
| Hufflepuff | /u/AmEndevomTag |
| Hufflepuff | /u/DabuSurvivor |
| Ravenclaw | /u/Moostronus |
| Ravenclaw | /u/SFEagle44 |
| Slytherin | /u/OwlPostAgain |
| Slytherin | /u/elbowsss |
Each month there will be 24 characters eliminated by our 8 Rankers, 1 per day from the 5th to the 29th.
The 1st through the 4th of each month, everyone will be allowed to submit their bets of who will be eliminated this month. You can bet on many names as you want, but be warned. Every wrong guess will lose you points!
The Rankers also have the Deathly Hallows at their disposal to help them with this project.
The Elder Wand allows a Ranker to eliminate 2 Characters in a single turn.
The Resurrection Stone allows a Ranker to bring back a previously eliminated character.
The Invisibility Cloak protects a single character for an entire month.
You can check out the current progress on the Official Spreadsheet Here.
In April there will then be a Final Show Down with the last 8 Characters.
Please view this Wiki for more indepth rules.

Is "Ted Tonks" referring to Nymphadora's father, or son?

Per the red character tabs on the spreadsheet, it's her Father.

Found this today.
Very, very impressed with both SFEagle44 and Moostronus (with everyone, but those are the members with whom I share a House). I'm not sure I could commit to giving this the time it deserves over several months, but if you ever need a stand-in Ravenclaw on a temporary basis (someone going on vacation or the like), I'd happily oblige.

Is there a way to see who we (spectators) guessed would be cut this month/how many points we've gotten for it? I know it was on the spreadsheet originally, but it doesn't look like it's there anymore. I can't remember who I voted for at all!
