Harry Potter Birthday Party Trivia Quiz

Answer: A coat hanger

The coat hanger was an all time high, because in the past they had not bothered to even give Harry anything. They viewed Harry as disgusting, ugly, weird, and not one of "Their Kind". Kind of puts a spotlight on that sweater or sewing kit you got, doesn't it?

Answer: Cake & an owl

The cake was given to him by none other then Rubeus Hagrid. On the stormy night of July 30, he came knocking on the door of a shanty on an island. While giving Harry his letter inviting him to attend Hogwarts, Hagrid also gave him a cake. The cake was halfway smashed from Hagrid sitting on it.

The next day Hagrid took him to Diagon Alley to get him his stuff. He also bought Harry an owl, whom Harry named Hedwig from one of his new school books.

Answer: Nothing

This is true! Dobby the House-elf was blocking Harry's letters from his friends the entire summer, so that Harry wouldn't want to go back to Hogwarts, because evil things were being planned at the school. As a result, Harry never received any of their letters, or their gifts.

Answer: Broomstick servicing kit

Harry owned a Nimbus 2000, given to him by Professor MacGonagall his first year. What was unusual about this was that first years weren't usually allowed to play Quidditch, but he was so good that an exception was made. He was the youngest seeker to play at Hogwarts in a hundred years.

The Nimbus 2000 was the newest broomstick out at the time, no doubt highly expensive, and a good broomstick servicing kit would have been a useful gift.

Answer: A Firebolt

This Firebolt was given to Harry by none other than... Sirius Black! The unjustly imprisoned man escaped Azkaban in Harry's third year. Everyone was on the lookout, and Dementors guarded the school. When Harry got the Firebolt from an anonymous donor, Hermione told Prof. McGonagall, who confiscated the Firebolt to check for curses and jinxes.

After a couple of months of agonised waiting, Harry received it back, informed that it was jinx-free. The Firebolt was actually given to him at Christmas, but Sirius told him to think of it as "13 years worth of birthday presents from your Godfather".

Answer: Cake

During this summer, Dudley had to go on a diet. Aunt Petunia decided that, in order for this to happen, the whole family had to be on the same harsh diet. Harry pleaded to his friends, and they all sent him cake and other food. Poor Errol (the Weasley's family owl) arrived with so much food he collapsed (although that's not too irregular for him).

Hermione sent a cake and a box stuffed with sugar-free snacks (her parents were dentists), and from Hagrid there was an enormous bag of rock cakes, which Harry didn't touch. Sirius Black also sent him a cake.

Answer: A box of Honeydukes chocolates

Harry threw the chocolates away in anger, because he thought his friends were ignoring him. Later he regretted this, because Dudley's diet was still on. His friends were only sending him letters with things like "Keep your nose clean" and things that meant absolutely nothing to him.

Answer: a cake

His birthday party was celebrated at the Weasleys, but was interrupted by the news of Dementors, so the party was never finished. :(

Answer: A wizard's watch

It is tradition that when a wizard comes of age he receives a watch. Ron got one that was new, but Mrs. Weasley couldn't afford a new one for Harry, so he got one that used to belong to her brother Fabian. He hadn't taken good care of it, and it had a crack down the center.

Answer: A kiss from Ginny

AHHHHH... How sweet! For his birthday Ginny summoned Harry to her room. There she kissed him with a "kiss as potent as firewhisky". They were rudely interrupted by Ron and Hermione, and Ron told Harry off for leading his sister on and giving her false hopes.
