Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. One of the most hotly debated questions, especially after the death of Dumbledore, was that of Snape's loyalty. Was he good or evil? Fans of the series were divided, each side making strong and valid cases to support their beliefs. Well, he was good, you didn't really think I was going to begin with such an easy one, did you? No, my first question is how old was he when he first met Lily?
2. It's mentioned many times in the series that Harry looks very much like his father, but he has his mother's eyes. J K Rowling said in an interview that was very important in a future book. After the Potters are murdered Dumbledore tells Snape that Harry has survived, and that "He has her eyes, precisely her eyes". Where were they when those words were spoken?
3. The mysterious R.A.B. Many realised that he was in fact Regulus Arcturus Black, Sirius' younger brother, long before Harry discovered the fact for himself at Grimmauld Place. In their search for the locket they question Kreacher, and in his tale, the house elf mentions how old Regulus was when he joined the Dark Lord. What age did he say Master Regulus was?
4. At the end of "The Goblet of Fire" Harry thinks he sees "a gleam of something like triumph" in Dumbledore's eyes when he tells of how Voldemort used his blood when he rebuilt his living body. All is finally revealed near the end of "The Deathly Hallows" when Dumbledore tells Harry that Voldemort has tethered him to life while he lives.
5. Will Ron and Hermione get together? Are Harry and Ginny finished for good? Thanks to the epilogue we know that these couples do have a happily ever after, but can you remember where Ron and Hermione were when they first kissed?
6. In the 'Extra Stuff' section of her website, J K Rowling posted this under NAQ (never asked questions); "Why did Dumbledore have James' invisibility cloak at the time of James' death, given that Dumbledore could make himself invisible without a cloak?" She also said that "There IS a significant - even crucial - answer" to that question. We now know that he suspected the cloak was one of the Hallows, but why had he not examined it sooner?
7. Speculation on who would die and why was very popular on Harry Potter message boards, and although many people were killed in this book, I thought I would ask about one who survived. Ollivander provided Harry with a very important piece of information way back in the first book that Harry repeats to Voldemort during their final showdown. Can you remember what that information was? The wand _______ the wizard
8. The future of Hogwarts at the end of "The Half-Blood Prince" was in doubt, but the school did reopen with attendance compulsory for every young witch or wizard. As Harry, Ron and Hermione are on the run they do not go back for their seventh year. Which roommate of Harry and Ron's also doesn't return for his final year?
9. The two way mirror that Sirius gave Harry finally had its part to play. When the Hog's Head barman saves Harry, Ron and Hermione from the Death Eaters in Hogsmeade, Harry sees the partner to his mirror propped on the mantelpiece below a portrait of a girl. Putting two and two together he realises that it is the barman's eye he has been seeing in his mirror, and that the barman must be Aberforth, Dumbledore's brother. From whom did Aberforth get the mirror?
10. In "The Half-Blood Prince" Dumbledore made it clear that two people were required to get past the enchantments surrounding the locket Horcrux. We now know that R.A.B used Kreacher to help him retrieve the locket, as Kreacher knew where the locket was, having been with Voldemort when he hid it. What reason did Kreacher give that explained how he had escaped death at the hands of the Inferi after drinking the potion?
