Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Let's start with the one of the eldest representatives of the Black family line mentioned in the "Harry Potter" book series - Phineas Nigellus Black. According to his great-great-grandson Sirius, what is his claim to fame?
2. Skipping a couple of generations, let's take a look at Sirius Black's parents. We know that the Black family's house-elf, Kreacher, was not as devoted to Sirius's father, Orion, as his mother. However, in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" he was still once caught "snogging" a certain article of his clothing. What was it?
3. Sirius's mother, Walburga, was a notable character in the books, despite not being alive when the series take place. In "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", Harry once wrote a letter to Sirius in which he described a certain character as "nearly as nice as your mum". Who was he talking about?
4. "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" has also provided us with some information on Sirius's uncles and aunts. One of them was Araminta Meliflua Black, a cousin of Sirius's mother. She was mentioned only once in the books, but her actions are quite memorable in their barbarity. What did she try to do?
5. Some members of the Black family, judging by their known actions only, do not appear to be black-hearted at all. What did Alphard Black, Sirius's uncle, do (as we learn in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"), that set him apart from the rest of his family and showed him to be a sympathetic and, perhaps, a little rebellious man?
6. Let's now move on to the next and, at least as far as the name is concerned, the last generation of the House of Black in the "Harry Potter" series. We'll start with Sirius Black's eldest cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange (née Black). When Harry saw her for the first time in the books, what was she doing?
7. Narcissa Malfoy (née Black), another of Sirius Black's cousins, appeared throughout most of the "Harry Potter" series to be an arrogant woman with a strong belief in pure-blood superiority. Which store in Diagon Alley did she refuse to shop at anymore after encountering Harry, Ron and Hermione there in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"?
8. The last of Sirius Black's cousins and his favorite, Andromeda Tonks (née Black), was disowned by her family for marrying a Muggle-born, Ted Tonks. Despite his godfather's praise of her, Harry's very first impression of her during their meeting in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" was not a favorable one. Why?
9. Regulus Arcturus Black, the younger son of Orion and Walburga Black, was, unlike his brother Sirius, a proud Slytherin. According to the photo that Harry found in his former bedroom in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", what position did he play on the Slytherin Quidditch team?
10. Finally, let's take a look at arguably the most prominent member of the House of Black in the books, Harry Potter's godfather Sirius Black. Where did Harry talk to him last in the course of the series?
