Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. We'll start with the basics, practicing with Hogwarts brooms. Once you've mastered these, you can practice on a fancier model, like Harry Potter. Which of these brooms has Harry NOT ridden?
2. You're doing very well on that broom. Perhaps you should try out for your House Quidditch team. But only if you know how the game is played. Which of these Quidditch facts is NOT true?
3. Yes, I agree, a broom is not the most comfortable of flying objects. Perhaps you'd like to try this old flying motorbike? It has a lot of history: it once belonged to Sirius Black, and then to Rubeus Hagrid. I know it looks a little banged up; it was in a fender bender with He Who Must Not Be Named, but it still runs pretty well! Which feature does this model NOT have?
4. Not interested in the motorbike? It could use some work. What about this lovely, nearly sentient flying Ford Anglia? Pay no attention to the dents and scratches; the Whomping Willow treats everyone that way. This car is as good as a loyal phoenix. It even saved Harry, Ron, and Fang from some nasty creatures in the Forbidden Forest. Which ones?
5. Okay, okay, so maybe a flying car isn't up your alley. What about a flying carpet? They're technically illegal, but as long the authorities don't find out, you'll be fine. Which Ministry of Magic department should you worry about most?
6. Maybe you'd be more interested in a magical flying beast. Maybe a hippogriff ... but what is the etiquette for approaching a hippogriff?
7. You're afraid of getting arrested? How about a thestral? One catch though, you might not be able to see it. What traumatic event must you have witnessed in order for thestrals to be visible to the naked eye?
8. There's another flying beast that *might* let you ride it. There are many varieties, including the Chinese Fireball, Hungarian Horntail, Norwegian Ridgeback, and Swedish Short-Snout. Just watch out for the claws and the fire breath ... What animal am I referring to?
9. There might be another way to fly, and all you need is a wand. Repeat after me: "Wingardium Leviosa". The Levitation Charm isn't usually used on people, but if you're a powerful wizard, you might be able to make it work. Which foe did Harry, Ron, and Hermione defeat using this charm, though not to levitate a person?
10. Only two wizards have been known to achieve true flight using only a wand, so your chances of managing it are pretty slim. Voldemort was one, but who was the other?
