1 Of course our main character went to the Yule Ball. Who was Harry Potter's date?
Answer: Parvati Patil

Parvati seems to revel in the attention escorting a school champion brings. Her excitement quickly fades as Harry shows very little interest in her and the ball in general. After giving up on Harry, she spends the rest of the evening with an unnamed lad from Beauxbaton. That seems pretty rude of our hero, but in all fairness, they weren't well matched. She seems to be a bit too much of a girly girl for Harry. She is, however, bright, pretty, brave, loyal and friendly. She would be a good catch for someone.

2 During the third task, which magical creature was blocking the way towards the Triwizard cup, only allowing entry after a correct answer to a riddle?
Answer: A Sphinx

A sphinx blocked the path leading to the Triwizard cup. She asked Harry a riddle. A correct answer on the first try would let him pass safely; a wrong answer and he would be attacked.

"First think of a person who lives in disguise,
Who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies.
Next, tell me what's always the last thing to mend,
The middle of middle and end of end?
And finally give me the sound often heard
During the search for a hard-to-find word?
Now string them together, and answer me this,
Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss?"

The answer was a spider.

Answer: A dangerous competition that takes place between three magic schools

Harry wins the tournament, but gives the money to Fred and George to help them open a joke shop along with Lee Jordan.
