Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Hades

Just like Harry Potter charmed Fluffy with a flute, Cerberus was charmed by Orpheus's lyre. It is interesting to note that J. K. Rowling also got many of her names from Latin e.g. Severus, Albus.

2. What kind of owl is Hedwig?

Answer: Snowy

All are true owl types. Snowy owls live mostly in the north of Scotland where Hogwarts is situated, so it is very ideal for Hedwig.

3. A hippogriff is the offspring of a griffin and a horse.

Answer: True

A hippogriff's father was a griffin and its mother was a horse. A griffin is the offspring of a lion and an eagle. Since griffins naturally hate horses, a hippogriff is considered a symbol of love prevailing.

4. What name is given to Buckbeak the hippogriff for means of secrecy?

Answer: Witherwings

Since Buckbeak was a wanted creature for hurting Draco Malfoy, this name is used in all letters in case they are intercepted.

5. What colour is unicorn blood?

Answer: Silver

It is mentioned in the books that unicorn blood will make you immortal, but at a high price; a half existence.

6. Norbert is what type of dragon?

Answer: Norwegian Ridgeback

These creatures hatch from burning hot eggs and are in every essence your average dragon.

7. What kind of spell or potion will make a werewolf aware of his condition and keep his thoughts human when he is transformed?

Answer: Wolfsbane potion

Professor Snape made these potions for Professor Lupin and took his class during the full moon.

8. According to the second "Harry Potter" book, a basilisk is born from a chicken's egg hatched beneath a what?

Answer: Toad

Sometimes called the Kings of Serpents, basilisks can grow to a humongous size, have poisonous fangs and a gaze that can turn one to stone. Harry and Ron find a page from the book "Most Macabre Monstrosities" in Hermione's hand when they visit her after she had been petrified, and it contained information about basilisks, including how they are born.

9. One of the four Marauders, Sirius Black (nickname Padfoot) could transform into what type of animal?

Answer: Dog

All of the four marauders could change into animals, but Remus Lupin was the only one who could not do it willingly. This didn't stop them from being best friends.

10. Dementors are terrifying creatures with the ability to "kiss" you and take out your what?

Answer: Soul

Dementors do drain people of happiness when they are around, but the kiss in particular does not take it away. They serve as almost impassable guards to the wizard prison Azkaban.
