Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where did Petunia Dursley's friend Yvonne go for a holiday on Dudley's birthday?

Answer: Majorca

As Mrs. Figg had broken her leg, Harry had nowhere to go for Dudley's birthday. Uncle Vernon suggested Yvonne's house - that's when Aunt Petunia told us she was on holiday in Majorca.

2. Who were the members of Dudley's gang?

Answer: Piers, Dennis, Malcolm and Gordon

Dudley's gang's favourite hobby is Harry-hunting. They make life miserable for him at school. Nobody ever takes Harry in their team because they don't want Dudley's gang to think they like Harry.

3. What was the core of the third wand Harry tried at Ollivander's?

Answer: Unicorn hair

The core of the first wand Harry tried was Dragon heartstring; the second, Phoenix feather; the third, Unicorn hair. Mr. Ollivander never used Veela hair for his wands.

4. What are Professor Dumbledore's interests?

Answer: Chamber music and tenpin bowling

When Harry was travelling on the Hogwarts Express, he bought himself chocolate frogs along with a variety of loads of other wizard sweets. As we all know, chocolate frogs have cards of famous witches/wizards with them. Harry got Dumbledore, and it said on the card -
'Professor Dumbledore enjoys chamber music and tenpin bowling.'

5. Which house was Mandy Brocklehust sorted into?

Answer: Ravenclaw

Mandy Brocklehurst was sorted just after Terry Boot.

6. What is another name for the plant Monkshood?

Answer: Aconite

In the first potions class, Snape asks Harry some questions to humiliate him in front of the others. Monkshood is known as aconite and also wolfsbane. Powdered root of asphodel and an infusion of wormwood make a powerful sleeping potion known as the Draught of Living Death.

7. Who was the first person to take the Quaffle in Harry's first Quidditch match?

Flint, the Slytherin captain, took the Quaffle after some time. Bletchley was Slytherin Keeper, and Higgs their Seeker.

Answer: Dragons: Species, Habitats, Diets and Life Cycle

Harry, Ron and Hermione spent most of their time in the Library as the exams were nearing and the teachers had unloaded a heavy weight of work on them. They met Hagrid one evening in the library. Ron found out the names of the books Hagrid was looking at.

9. What did the first-years have to do in their Transfiguration practical exam?

Answer: Turn a mouse into a snuffbox

For Charms, they had to make a pineapple tap dance across Professor Flitwick's desk. For Potions, they had to make a forgetfulness potion. And finally, in Transfiguration, they had to turn a mouse into a snuffbox.

10. How many bottles of poison are there in Snape's puzzle leading to the Philosopher's Stone?

Answer: 3

There are seven bottles in all. One of them lets you move forward to the Stone; another, back through the purple fire. Two of them are Nettle wine and the remaining three poison.
