5. What is the name of Eddie Redmayne’s character in the Harry Potter prequel Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them?
6. Which government scrapped its large banknotes overnight, forcing holders to put them in a bank for exchange, thus helping to raise taxes by reducing the black-market economy in its country?

Re: Quiz of the Year
Looks pretty reasonable Hero
Though number 1 might be a bit brutal to kick off the quiz. Could do that as a hand out...

Re: Quiz of the Year
I would still probably do the first question as a hand out and then read the rest out
But good quiz nonetheless
