Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I think I've got a good shot at being the baddest. I used to be quite good but then I went to Albania and when I was wandering in the woods the strangest thing happened ... by the time I got back to Hogwarts I had managed to have the supreme honour of having my lord and master, Lord Voldemort, sticking out the back of my head. I had to keep him hidden under a turban, but I knew he was there!
2. No no, I'm the best at being bad! I killed my blood-traitor cousin Sirius Black, but before that I spent years in Azkaban with my husband for torturing those cowardly Longbottoms with my specialty, the Cruciatus Curse. They totally lost their minds because of me - HA! Serves them right for being blood traitors. Unforgivable? I don't think so; the love of my life, the fabulous Lord Voldemort, has rewarded me amply by honouring me as his most loyal and faithful servant.
3. Tsuh, those guys think they're bad? Not as bad as I - I can even prove it, as the Dark Lord chose my manor as his headquarters during his second rise to power. I managed to get his spirit to possess that pathetic, Potter-obsessed Weasley girl in her first year at Hogwarts by slipping her a Horcrux. Even though my son is in the same year in school as Harry Potter, thank goodness he takes after me and hates him passionately.
4. I'm definitely the maddest, and probably the baddest. Everyone thinks I've been dead for years, but I've actually been hiding out at home - well that is until I broke free and imperiused my father - HA! Sorry - did you ask what happened to him? Oh, I had him killed then turned his body into a bone. He didn't deserve anything better anyway as he had me thrown into Azkaban as a boy, simply because I followed the Dark Lord. I also had to pose as that lunatic Mad-Eye Moody for nearly a year in order to get near Potty Potter, what a drag.
5. Me? A baddy? I don't think so, not someone as fabulously good-looking and well-travelled as I am! I mean, I might have borrowed a few stories from some people I met along the way and - er - re-cast myself as the hero, but let's face it, no-one wants to read about some ugly old hag, they all want to read about ME! Oh and yeah I suppose I did try and leave the Potter boy to the basilisk but really, people would've been far more interested in reading about me opening the Chamber of Secrets than about the boy opening it. I seem to have found myself in St Mungo's though, they tell me that my memory charm - definitely my best spell - rebounded on me ... ahh well, autograph anyone?
6. I ain't no baddy, I gotta make a quid or two for meself innit? I might've nicked a couple of fings from the Black 'ousehold after that Sirius died but no-one even wanted em ... yeah and I spose I can be a bit of a coward, it don't look too good that I disapparated when we were trying to get 'Arry to a safe-'ouse when his mother's protective charm broke, but I never wanted to be there in the first place, see, they made me do it. I know that Molly Weasley finks I'm a good for nuffink smelly old man but her sons love me stories about 'ow I nick fings and sell 'em back to the owners, hahahaahahah, those SUCKERS! But I ain't really bad, I gotta good 'eart underneaf it all innit, I don't fink I should be the best of the baddest.
7. I'm not a baddy at all, in fact my mottos are hard work and honesty. I cannot STAND liars, in fact I made that lying, disingenuous little attention-seeker Harry Potter write "I must not tell lies" with his own blood to punish him for his untruths. I may have somewhat Draconian methods but when I became the Hogwarts High Inquisitor, and later sort of Headmistress (the Ministry said I was but for some reason I could never make it into the Head's office, ridiculous), I had to take matters in hand. Clearly Albus Dumbledore had been entirely taken in by the fame-hungry Potter, but I saw through him and his little friends. When I later moved back to a position at the Ministry I felt it was only fair that I should take Mad-Eye (such an appropriate name) Moody's false eye to help me sniff out liars and cheats. And you're calling ME bad?
8. I wouldn't even be in this quiz if it weren't for that bossy, too-big-for-her-own-boots Hermione Granger, who guessed my little secret and stopped me from writing my gloriously libellous newspaper articles. What's so bad about being an unregistered animagus? It's not like I killed anyone, just wrote a few home truths about various people with my Quick Quotes Quill. If they can't handle the truth that's their problem, I can't even get decent work now that that interfering girl has stopped me from being creative, and my hair and my nails are a MESS.
9. No no, you don't understand, you've got it all wrong. I used to be a baddie, that's true, and in fact I had to give my one of my bitterest enemies my memories to explain my actions, because I was killed before I could reveal the truth. I was a Death Eater, but the Dark Lord killed my one true love and from then on I was a double-agent. I know I killed Dumbledore, but it was only to protect the soul of Draco Malfoy, and because I knew that Dumbledore was dying anyway. Do you see now? I'm not a baddie at all, just ask Harry Potter - he even named his son for me.
10. I am definitely a baddie - in fact, I am the youngest of the Death Eaters at only 16. Even so, the Dark Lord entrusted me with a mission far harder than he has given to many twice my age. I truly take after my father in looks, arrogance and devotion to the Dark Lord but I suppose I take after my mother in that I'm both cowardly and weak - but then, what baddie isn't? They're bad traits right, so I should still be considered one of the baddest. To prove it, even though Potter had to rescue me twice in the Battle of Hogwarts, I still tried to fight on the Death Eater's side (until they lost of course, then I rejoined Mummy and Daddy for a bite to eat with the victors).
