I thought maybe you meant kneazles, like Crookshanks but then you gave that hint.

That's what she called centaurs, but someone else already guessed that and you said no, so now I'm confused.

Is it a specific centaur? As in Firenze?

Is it a specific centaur? no As in Firenze? Since I've needlessly confused people, I'm not going to count this one, but instead give another hint, hopefully a better one... Think service industry.

13. a mermaid ? no


and I'm going to make a suggestion... something I originally meant, but neglected to state outright (since my husband informs me this games is sometimes played as vegetable/animal/mineral, though I've never done so, and thus was taken off guard by the first question), which is to play it as person, place or thing ...
and having gained this experience, expand the definition of person I originally proposed to include such things that have 'near human intelligence' like giants, centaurs, house elves, mermaids, were wolves, etc...

Is it Dobby?

For what it's worth, I think 'animal or vegetable, mineral' is not helpful, and I prefer 'person, place or thing'.

We had this problem in the LotR 20 questions thread. How to define those 'persons' who aren't humans but aren't obviously animals.

Is it Dobby? YES! :

Oye, I'm kinda relieved my turn is over I think I like guessing better

I'm off to amend the original post to include members of species that have 'near human intelligence'.

Oh whee! I must admit, I was starting to get a bit bored with the LOTR 20Q thread... it just wore out the novelty for me I guess. This is great!

Okay, it's a thing... Does it appear in the first book?

That's two questions! Plus, dont' both brooms and wands belong in both categories, individuals and people as a whole? Most wizards have wands, many wizards have brooms.

4. Does it appear in the first book? Nope!

5. Is it enchanted in some way? Yes.
