Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When we first meet Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall on Privet Drive, Professor McGonagall is a cat. When she turns back into a human, what color is her cloak?

Answer: emerald

This is in the chapter where we are introduced to many of the main characters: Dumbledore, McGonagall, Hagrid, the Dursleys, and of course, Harry.

2. When Uncle Vernon pulled Harry aside before they went to the zoo, how long does he say that Harry will be kept in his cupboard if he does anything strange?

Answer: Until Christmas

This is just another way of showing how paranoid Uncle Vernon is about anyone finding out about Harry.

3. According to Harry, what does Mrs. Figg's house smell like?

Answer: cabbage

Mrs. Figg is the elderly neighbour that baby-sits Harry whenever the Dursleys go out.

4. When the Dursleys, Harry and Hagrid are on the Hut-on-the-Rock, Hagrid writes to Dumbledore to say that he'd received his letter. How did he say the weather was?

Answer: horrible

The full letter reads, 'Dear Mr. Dumbledore, Given Harry his letter. Taking him to buy his things tomorrow. Weather's horrible. Hope you're well. Hagrid.'

5. On the letter every first year receives from Hogwarts, they are given a choice of three animals to bring with them. Which of the following does not appear on that letter?

Answer: Rat

Obviously, the animals on the letter are negotiable, because Ron brings Scabbers, a rat, with him.

Answer: rubies

Hagrid is looking through his coat full of endless pockets, and Harry looks around at the room when he sees this.

7. What time did Harry get up the day he was to journey to platform nine and three quarters?

Answer: 5:00

He was so nervous and excited, he couldn't get back to sleep.

8. Which of the Weasleys went through the barrier at platform nine and three quarters first?

Answer: Percy

First was Percy, then came Fred, George, Harry. We don't actually see Ron, Mrs. Weasley and Ginny come through the barrier, but we know they do because Fred and George tell the rest of the Weasleys that they had just met Harry Potter. Ginny gets very excited about this.

9. In what exam do they have to make a pineapple tap dance across a desk?

Answer: Charm

This is one of the student's practical exams. In Transfiguration, Professor McGonagall made them turn a mouse into a snuff-box, and in Potions they had to make a Forgetfulness potion.

10. When Harry, Ron and Hermione come across Peeves on their way to the third floor corridor, who does Harry pretend to be in order for Peeves to stop bothering them?

Answer: The Bloody Baron

It is said earlier in the book that The Bloody Baron was the only one who could control him, so Harry played on that. Hope you enjoyed this quiz!
