It's really unfair to ask us about ?2 when it hasn't even come out yet in some countries. I don't mean to start a whole thing again, but it's true.

Yes, a thread. It's really unfair to ask us about ?2 when it hasn't even come out yet in some countries. I don't mean to start a whole thing again, but it's true. It is possible to answer all the questions in this quiz except for 33, 34, and 35 without physically having the book. Also, if you have finished answering all other 47 questions to your satisfaction and are still trying to get those last 3, post here; we now both have ?2 in our possession and will endeavor to give subtle hints.

I don't like that I've already been re-reading the series but now this task is forcing me to ruin things I'd forgotten so now I won't be surprised ):
PLUS, I haven't read any of the new series yet.
