Good job everyone!!! I love all your answers. Ok here are mine, I kind of went with a funny approach. Anyway I hope you like them

1.
"Everyone has a photographic memory. Some don't have film."

2.
"Those who live by the sword... get shot by those who don't."

3.
"He's not dead... he's electroencephalographically challenged."

4.
"Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. "

5.
"The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first."

6. (This is my favourite one..lol)
"I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges."

Anyway, I know this really doesn't have anything to do with Harry Potter, but you didn't say it had to..lol So I used my imagination.

Thanks

This challenge was extremely difficult to award as they were all so good. I had a panel of two judges mark each title out of ten and then combined the marks. Note - these judges were not part of the site and did not see the names.

After this, the housepoints have been awarded as follows;

1st place: Duck the Duck - 30 housepoints
2nd place: rip_dogfather - 15 points
3rd place: running_swift - 5 points
cute_polkadot_chick - 5 points
