MuggleNet’s Harry Potter Book Chapter March Madness Selection Sunday – Results!

Harry Potter March Madness has returned to MuggleNet!

64 of the 198 book chapters of the Harry Potter series will be facing off in our MuggleNet March Madness competition. And you, the fans, will determine the champion.

In the United States, the month of March is synonymous with the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) Basketball Tournament, a fierce competition between the best 64 basketball teams in the nation in a single-elimination tournament. The goal: to be crowned champion.

MuggleNet is taking the concept of March Madness and applying it to the Harry Potter series. 64 book chapters were selected on Selection Sunday (yesterday), ranked 1-16, and randomly positioned in four tournament brackets (named after the Houses). Here are the results:
