LC-potter-06 EEXX news/county 10/03/2018. WHO KILLED THE BANDON BEAN-SIDHE? Saturday the 10th March brought magically curious activity as local Bandon national schools competed in a Wizarding Harry Potter Quiz. The prize was the beautiful Bandon Banshee Perpetual Cup. As any Harry Potter enthusiast knows, Bandon has the unique honour of having a character named after the town. The Bandon Banshee, was referred to as the nemesis of Gilderoy Lockhart in the Chamber of Secrets. The book grossed €60 million in sales and was the 7th highest earning film of all time. Locals, looking to enhance the town for young people, saw the quiz as an ideal way promote the connection. The universally absorbing book series brings young readers on a huge adventure of magic, adversity and triumph. It is also an exploration of loyalty and friendship, good and evil – so it is not only a popular way to engage young people, it is a hugely positive connection. Zoe Tennyson, one of the organisers said they were delighted with the response from schools who ran a qualifying quiz as part of World Book Day. On Saturday Bandon Town Hall was transformed into Hogwarts Great Hall, with proceeds going Bandon Playground Group, and to cover costs of the event. Bandon Books rewarded the winning team with vouchers to each of the five members. The Bandon Banshee, or Bean-sidhe na Bandan Perpetual Cup was awarded to the winners.
