From Basilisks to Hippogriffs! Quiz

Answer: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Rubeus Hagrid loves magical creatures; the more dangerous the better. His name was cleared in the Chamber of Secrets for events that happened fifty years ago and Professor Dumbledore is said to have gone straight to Hagrid's cabin, after Professor Kettleburn told him he wished to retire, to offer him the job which he immediately accepted.

He continues his work as gamekeeper as well. Hagrid said "it's what I always wanted". ("Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban")

Answer: Beast division, Being division and Spirit division

After two failed attempts to separate the "Beings" from the "Beasts" an agreement was finally met in 1811. Grogan Stumps' definition of a beast stands today, although various creatures who should be classified as beings are classified as beasts (such as the centaur) at their own request. The Spirit division was created as it was deemed insensitive to classify ghosts as "beings".

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" notes that the Kappa is a Japanese water demon. Some one has scribbled next to it "Snape hasn't read this either".

Answer: Mosag

Tarantallegra is a spell Draco uses on Harry in the duelling club, it makes his legs do a quick step without his permission. Fridwulfa is Hagrid's mother's name. All the acromantula living in the forest are the descendants of Aragog and Mosag. (Personally I think Hagrid made a huge mistake.)

Answer: A Grindylow

Although they study all these creatures in Professor Lupin's, classes the one Harry meets in his office is a green water demon with small horns and a strong but brittle grip. Harry has to fight off Grindylows in the second task of the Triwizard tournament.

Answer: From a chicken egg hatched beneath a toad.

The basilisk is the monster that lives in the chamber of secrets, Slytherin's monster. Breeding basilisks was outlawed in medieval times. The first is thought to have been bred by Herpo the Foul and to have lived for nearly nine hundred years. There is no such thing as a basilisk's egg, and nothing will happen if you hatch an eagle's egg beneath a black cat or if an Augurey egg hatches on the full moon. An Augury is also known as the Irish Phoenix.

Answer: Fred turned his teddy bear into a spider when he was three.

We find out Ron hates spiders in "The Chamber of Secrets" - to be fair Fred only did this because Ron broke his toy broomstick, then and again Ron was only three!
