Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Clearly the most practical lessons are held by Professor Lupin. Which is the one creature the students never meet in his class, but only write about?

Answer: Vampire

Lupin asks Ron and Harry for a word on his Vampire essay after Snape called him to have a look at the Marauder's Map. Don't forget, Lupin himself is a werewolf and Snape takes good care everybody finds out about that!

2. Criticising Lupin's way of teaching, Snape remarks that the Kappa is most commonly found - where?

Answer: In Mongolia

Kappa are "water-dwellers that look like scaly monkeys"
Ministry of Magic's danger level XXXX: very dangerous

3. Repeatedly, Mad Eye Moody reminds the students to stay alert - always. What's his way of putting it?

Answer: constant vigilance

These two words are the line Mad Eye Moody utters the most. After all, keeping a (magical) eye on the things going on around you might save you some trouble...

4. Born under very similar circumstances, which other boy might have been "the boy who lived"?

Answer: Neville Longbottom

In book four we learn that clumsy Neville's parents actually fought bravely against Voldemort, ending up in St Mungo's. But it is not until book five that we find out more astonishing things about the boy who's as close to a Squib as you can get...

Answer: Professor Lupin, talking about his vampire essay

Hogsmeade is the only non-muggle village in Britain.
After Harry is caught with the Marauder's Map and stuff from Hogsmeade in his pockets, he tells Snape that Ron had given him the sweets after the last Hogsmeade visit. Lupin convinces the Potions Master that the Marauder's Map is harmless and takes Harry and Ron away to his office.

6. Which one of these is not one of the Unforgivable Curses?

Answer: Morsmordre

Morsmordre is the incantation used to set the Dark Mark into the sky. The Death Eaters would have it wafting over a house they burnt down, for example.

7. Have you been paying attention in class? What would you eat to recover from the effect a dementor has on you?

Answer: chocolate

One of the few magical remedies that is also used by Muggles ;-)

8. You can recognise a Death Eater by the Dark Mark on his arm. What shape is it?

Answer: a skull with a snake coming out of its mouth

During the Quidditch Worldcup, the Dark Mark was conjured up - something that had not happened since Voldemort disappeared after meeting his match at Godric's Hollow

9. To summon them, Voldemort would touch the mark on the arm of any one of his Inner Circle. What happens to the marks of the others?

Answer: They burn

As Voldemort regains his strength, the marks become clearer after being almost invisible for 10 years. At one point, Moody reminds Snape that there are "spots that never come off".

10. "Finally a Defence against the Dark Arts teacher who knows his remedies" - who is Madam Pomfrey talking about?

Answer: Remus Lupin

On the train, Lupin gives everybody some chocolate after a dementor came into their compartment.
