The Deathly Hollows Symbol

From Wikipedia:

"The circle represents the Stone of Resurrection, the triangle represents the Cloak of Invisibility, and the line represents the Elder Wand."



Until I looked up the Deathly Hallows and re-read the Tale of the Three Brothers I had essentially forgotten its meaning; it a took a while to jog my memory. It makes me think there should be a little reading (or viewing) comprehension quiz for popular books and movies and even newspaper articles. Something like that could help reinforce the author's main points. Plus I always wonder how well information that I read once stays with me and I wonder how my reading comprehension skills compare to the average person.

I recently found myself in the same situation with the movie Reservoir Dogs---I forgot how the heist played out in the end. Praise Jeebus for Wikipedia:

Joe points a gun at Mr. Orange as Mr. White points his gun at Joe. Eddie then points his gun at Mr. White, posing a Mexican standoff. Joe shoots Mr. Orange and is then shot dead by Mr. White; Eddie shoots Mr. White, who shoots and kills Eddie. Mr. Pink, who stayed out of the shootout, takes the diamonds and flees. There is some ambiguity as to what his fate is. Some barely audible dialogue suggests he was subdued by the police. Mr. White cradles Mr. Orange in his arms and Mr. Orange reveals that he is a cop, devastating his friend. Mr. White puts his gun to Mr. Orange's head just as the police enter. Mr. White defies the warnings of the police and shoots Mr. Orange; the police, in turn, shoot Mr. White, killing him.
