Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. I taught Care of Magical Creatures and retired to spend time with my remaining limbs. Who am I?

Answer: Silvanus Kettleburn

During Kettleburn's time as a teacher, he went on sixty-two periods of probation for several different injuries. One was called The Fountain of Fair Fortune Incident that occurred in the Great Hall, which caused Herbert Beery, the Herbology teacher at the time, to resign because of his disfigured head. He taught Care of Magical Creatures until 1993, when he retired with only one and a half limbs remaining.

2. I was the substitute teacher for Professor Trelawney after she was sacked by Dolores Umbridge. Who am I?

Answer: Firenze

Firenze was removed from his group of centaurs after he thought of working at Hogwarts as a teacher for Albus Dumbledore. In the first book, Firenze also gave Harry Potter a ride on his back for which Bane, along with other centaurs, got mad at him. Centaurs often have the ability to see into the future by looking at stars. Centaurs believe that they are equal to and often more superior than humans and they choose not to work for them. The centaurs, along with Firenze, live in the Forbidden Forest.

Answer: Gilderoy Lockhart

Gilderoy Lockhart taught Defense Against the Dark Arts during Harry's second year at Hogwarts. He was a very popular book author at the time, with lots of fans (mostly witches). When trying to cast a Memory Charm with Ron's broken wand, he got permanent memory loss due to the spell backfiring. This landed him in a ward in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.
