Harry Potter: The Life Before Wizardry Quiz

Answer: Sirius Black

Sirius Black is a character that first appears in "Harry Potter and the Prisioner of Azkaban", but is a major part in the series. He is said to be a criminal, and he is Harry's godfather. The reason Hagrid borrowed the motorcycle from him was so Dumbledore could put Harry on the Dursleys' porch.

Answer: There wasn't one

Avada Kevadra, the killing curse, and Imperio, the Imperius Curse, aren't used until "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire". Outise Putio is just something that I made up. In fact the first spell used in the book isn't until the ninth chapter, "The Midnight Duel". In the first chapter, "The Boy Who Lived", Dumbledore did use a magical item. This item is called the "Put-Outer".

Answer: Brazil

Harry was talking to the snake and he asked it where it was from. The snake pointed to a sign that read Brazil. Dudley saw the snake was awake and shoved Harry out of the way to see it. Harry communicating to the snake is an important detail in the rest of the series because it is a special power that very few people have. The people who have this power are called Parselmouths.

Answer: purple

Harry was thinking back about some of the bizarre things that some strangers did around him. He remembered a bald man that shook his hand once on the street. This bald man turns out to be a wizard named Dedalus Diggle, who appears later in the book as a Leaky Cauldron customer.

Answer: Mrs. Figg

Mrs. Figg was supposed to watch Harry on Dudley's birthday. She broke her leg so she couldn't, and Harry was glad because she always showed him pictures of her cats. Mrs. Figg has more importance in the beginning of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" because she helps Harry.

Answer: maroon tailcoat, orange knickerbockers, flat straw hat

Aunt Petunia bought Dudley his uniform and he paraded around the living room wearing it, while Harry tried not to laugh. Smeltings was Vernon Dursley's old school. Knickerbockers are baggy shorts that go down to the middle of the calf and tailcoats are formal coats with long backs that are cut away at the front.

Answer: emerald-green

The letter was addressed:

Mr. H. Potter
The Cupboard under the Stairs
Little Whinging
Surrey

Harry was suprised to see a letter adressed to him. The letter was from Hogwarts, and it was to tell Harry to come to Hogwarts to practice magic.

Answer: burning them

Uncle Vernon burned Harry's Hogwarts letters so Harry wouldn't find out that he was a wizard. While burning the letters he hummed a song called "Tiptoe Through the Tulips". Harry still found out that he was a wizard because of Hagrid.

Answer: They were running away from the letters.

While the Dursleys and Harry were running away from the letters Dudley complained about not being able to watch TV. The Monday night show that he wanted to watch was "The Great Humberto". Dudley also complained about the places that they were staying. **Can someone say "OVER-DRAMATIC"!**

Answer: seaweed

Their last stop was an old broken-down house on a rock in the sea. This was where Hagrid came, and he gave Harry his Hogwarts letter. This was where Harry's amazing wizarding journey began.
