Answer: Norbert

Norbert makes his first appearance in Book #1 of the Harry Potter series -"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" (1997). The dragon only appears in the first book but is mentioned in every book in the series with the exception of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince". In the final book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", readers find out that Norbert is actually a Norberta (a female dragon). Hagrid keeps the dragon egg warm over the fire and it hatches in front of Ron, Harry and Hermione. Norbert is described as looking like a "crumpled black umbrella." He has a long skinny body, stubby horns, large spiny wings and a wide snout. The dragon also has bulbous orange eyes and a fierce venomous bite that actually sends Ron off to the infirmary. Hagrid feeds Norbert from a bucket filled with brandy and chicken blood as recommended by a book entitled "Dragon Breeding for Pleasure and Profit."

From Quiz Harry Potter Pets

Answer: amber

Hedwig is a beautiful, proud and intelligent owl who seems fully capable of understanding human speech. For instance, she appeared to be offended in "The Goblet of Fire" when Harry said to her in an offhanded and somewhat thoughtless way: "I can't use you. I have to use one of these", meanwhile not looking at her at all. Snowy owls are a breed that exists in real life. They are born dark, but slowly become white as they enter adulthood.

From Quiz Not All of Hagrid's Animals are Fluffy!

Answer: Fang

In spite of his fearsome appearance Fang is not brave at all, although he is devoted to Hagrid. We first meet him in 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'. When Harry and Hermione, together with Neville Longbottom and Draco Malfoy, are given detention, their 'punishment' consists of going into the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid and Fang to find whoever - or whatever - has been killing unicorns. Fang goes with Harry and Draco, only to run away in fear when he sees the hooded figure of the weakened Lord Voldemort drinking the blood of a dead unicorn to keep himself alive until his body can be restored to its full powers.

From Quiz Dragons in "Harry Potter"

Answer: Norwegian Ridgeback

Norbert is identified as a Norwegian Ridgeback dragon. Norbert hatches from his egg in the home of Hagrid on the grounds of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry within the pages of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". Hagrid obtains the dragon egg from a disguised Professor Quirinus Quirrell, who exchanges the egg for information on how to get past Fluffy, the three-headed dog that is guarding the entrance to where the Philosopher's Stone is hidden. Harry, Ron, and Hermione persuade Hagrid to send Norbert to a colony in Romania because he is too dangerous to keep as a pet. In the film, Norbert is shown to be affectionate rather than violent and it is Dumbledore who orders the dragon to be sent off to Romania.

From Quiz Harry Potter Pets

Answer: Pigwidgeon

Pigwidgeon is a hyperactive, consistently excited, tiny owl who has gained Hedwig's disapproval and Crookshanks' inclination to grab him. On first sight, his presence induced Hedwig to click her beak at him and Crookshanks' eyes to trail him around the train compartment. Apart from Hedwig and Crookshanks, Pigwidgeon also managed to annoy Hermes (Percy's owl) and the taxi driver who drove the Weasleys and Harry to King's Cross station in "The Goblet of Fire". This adorable owl also tends to show his affection in an overly forceful fashion. For instance, he nibbled Ron's finger painfully as a way of greeting during their first meeting. Pigwidgeon was entrusted with a few responsibilities in the series: starting from delivering Sirius' letter and Pigwidgeon himself to Harry and his friends on the Hogwarts Express near the end of "The Prisoner of Azkaban". In "The Globlet of Fire", Pigwidgeon was given the task of delivering Harry's letter to Sirius telling the latter that Harry had passed the First Task of the Triwizard Tournament.

From Quiz Ministry Classification XXXXX

Answer: The only known way to repel them is a Patronus.

Dementors are creatures with human-like form that wear a dark cloak, giving them a wraith-like appearance. They affect the feelings of people around them by literally sucking the happiness out of them. Their most terrible attack, though, is the Dementor's Kiss, which, as Lupin explained to Harry during their private lessons in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", steals the soul of a person and leaves behind their body, alive but empty. A Lethifold looks like a "black cloak half an inch thick". It attacks unsuspecting humans when they are asleep and suffocates them before digesting them. As with Dementors, the only spell that can offer some protection against Lethifolds is the Patronus charm. However, Lethifolds are only found in areas with tropical climate, while Dementors prefer dark and cold regions (as described by Lupin to Harry after Gryffindor's defeat to Hufflepuff in the "Prisoner of Azkaban").

From Quiz Dragons in "Harry Potter"

Answer: Hungarian Horntail

In the 4th book of the series, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" (2000), Harry is mysteriously entered for the Triwizard Tournament.

This dragon is believed to be the most ferocious of all dragons in the Harry Potter universe. It has black scales, spikes, horns, can grow to over 50 feet in length, is exceptionally agile and breathes fire. It also has a loud piercing scream and can fly at very impressive speeds. At the TriWizard Tournament, Harry calls upon his trusty Firebolt broomstick and uses his skills as a seeker to daringly outfly the dragon during the competition.
