    We were seated near the door which was freezing and also right next to the bar so we were very scrunched in. I did ask if we could move before other tables had been filled but they didn’t respond to me.

    The quiz setup was very good. However, the questions were way too hard and only hardcore Harry Potter fanatics could’ve known most of them - we all love Harry Potter but found it way too hard and lost interest in the quiz quite fast. We even left before the end. I suggest having a mixture of hard and easier questions to make it fun for everyone next time!
