Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Albus Dumbledore
Answer: Hogwarts
Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore was the headmaster of Hogwarts for most of the books in the 'Harry Potter' series by J. K. Rowling. He was also the founder and leader of the Order of the Phoenix, a group of wizards who were dedicated to fighting Lord Voldemort. Dumbledore's fatherly support helped Harry develop the wisdom and skills he needed to fulfill his mission.
2. Alice
Answer: Wonderland
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a lecturer in mathematics at Christ Church College in Oxford, used the pen name Lewis Carroll when he wrote 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' in 1865. The central character, Alice, was modelled after Alice Liddell, the child of a friend, for whom the book was written.
After her curiosity was piqued by seeing a white rabbit rush past, Alice followed him down the rabbit hole to Wonderland, and into an amazing adventure. Or was it just a dream?
3. Cheshire Cat
Answer: Wonderland
At one point in 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland', the Cheshire Cat disappeared slowly, starting from the tip of its tail, until only its smile was left in view. Alice commented that she had "often seen a cat without a grin, but never a grin without a cat." Lewis Carroll did not invent the character entirely - the phrase "grinning like a Cheshire Cat" had been an idiomatic part of the English language for many years - but he developed the character with which most people associate it.
4. Cowardly Lion
Answer: Oz
In L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz', the Cowardly Lion is one of the central characters traveling to see the Wizard; the others include the Scarecrow and the Tin Man, along with Dorothy and Toto. The Cowardly Lion seeks courage, unaware that his regular completion of actions despite feeling afraid to do so is actually an exhibition of courage.
He also appeared in a number of other books in the series, but never again as a major character.
5. Dorothy Gale
Answer: Oz
Dorothy first went to Oz in 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz', at the end of which she returned home to Kansas. She visited that magical land again in many of the sequels, eventually moving there along with her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em. Her last name (Gale) was not revealed in the first book, and readers only learn it in the third book of the series, 'Ozma of Oz'.
6. Harry Potter
Answer: Hogwarts
The 'Harry Potter' series from J. K. Rowling chronicles the adventures that befall Harry starting from his discovery that he is a wizard, and following him through his years as a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he and his friends work to combat the evil Voldemort (who had killed Harry's parents when he was an infant) in his attempts to return and take over control of the wizarding world.
7. Peter Pan
Answer: Neverland
Peter Pan, created by J. M. Barrie in the novel 'A Little White Bird' (1902), was given a central role in the 1904 play 'Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up', and the play was then turned into the novel 'Peter and Wendy' in 1911. Peter, as leader of the Lost Boys, is nonchalant in the face of all danger - like most children, he is unable to appreciate the danger in which he regularly places himself.
8. Piglet
Answer: Hundred Acre Wood
Piglet is only one of the many characters appearing in the books that A. A. Milne wrote for his son, the model for Christopher Robin, featuring the boy's pets as central characters. Piglet is Pooh's best friend, and joins him in a number of adventures, including trying to capture Heffalumps, going on an Expotition to the North Pole and playing Poohsticks.
9. Captain Hook
Answer: Neverland
Captain James Hook, who lost his hand while fighting Peter Pan, is hunted by a crocodile who feasted off the amputated limb, and wants more. He bears a hook in place of his missing hand, and seeks revenge on Peter for the injury done to him. While he is portrayed as a villain, it is hard not to feel that he has indeed been hardly done by. Captain Hook first appeared in J. M. Barrie's play 'Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up', and has subsequently been a major character in many adaptations of the story.
10. Winnie-the-Pooh
Answer: Hundred Acre Wood
Of course, Winnie-the-Pooh (Pooh for short) is the central character in A. A. Milne's stories set in the Hundred Acre Wood (a fictionalised version of Ashdown Forest, located in Sussex, England). Christopher Milne had named his stuffed bear after Winnie (a black bear from Canada, originally named for the city of Winnipeg) after seeing the bear at London Zoo, and after a swan named Pooh that he encountered on a family holiday.
