Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where does Severus Snape's Potions class take place in the castle?

Answer: The Dungeons

Icy water flows from a gargoyle's mouth in a basin in the corner of the dungeon. Another detail, is that in the winter months it's so cold down there you can see your breath.

2. On which floor is the staff room located?

Answer: Ground Floor

Professor Lupin brought his class to this room in the third book, "Prisoner of Azkaban", to teach them about boggarts by having them battle the one in the large wardrobe.

3. How many floors are there in the castle?

Answer: Eight

The Gryffindor common room is up on the seventh floor of the castle at the base of the Tower. Divination is at the base of the North Tower and the Room of Requirement is also up on the seventh floor. (The one Harry held the DA -Dumbledore's Army- meetings in.) In order: Ground floor, First floor, Second floor, Third floor, etc.

This is how Rowling refers to them, so the eighth one is called the Seventh Floor.

4. We were first introduced to Moaning Myrtle in "The Chamber of Secrets". On which floor was the bathroom she refused to leave?

Answer: Second Floor

This bathroom holds the passageway to the Chamber of Secrets, where Harry fought the large snake and met up with Tom Riddle.

5. In which direction from the castle is the Quidditch Pitch?

Answer: West

The lake is to the south, and the Quidditch Pitch is to the west (although this changes in the various movies!), with the Forbidden Forest to the east.

6. On which floor is the trophy room in books one through four?

Answer: Third Floor

Ah, the trophy room. Where many loving students, devoutly spent their detentions shining medals and awards and the like. Statues, cups, plates, shields, and even a list of all the head boys and girls is kept here.

7. The Hufflepuff common room is on the fourth floor.

Answer: False

The Hufflepuff common room and dormitories are under the Ground floor at least. We never find out for sure, but Cedric Diggory takes a staircase off to the right of the main staircase and it was going down from the ground floor.

8. What did Harry have to say in parseltongue in order for the Chamber of Secrets to open?

Answer: Open up

Harry spoke, "Open up" in parseltongue and the sinks separated to reveal a passage way to "the Chamber".

9. How many staircases are there in Hogwarts altogether? (Including the moving ones, etc.)

Answer: 142

There are small staircases, rickety ones, sweeping ones, wide ones etc. Some staircases have vanishing steps, or trick stairs the students have to remember to jump over or end up stuck in the stair.

10. What is the password to the prefect's bathroom?

Answer: Pine Fresh

The prefect's bathroom is on the fifth floor and inside is a picture of a mermaid on the wall.
