The Muggles of "Harry Potter" Quiz | Harry Potter - Characters

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This muggle is rather unpleasant. He is Harry Potter's cousin. He likes to bully Harry whenever he can. Who is this muggle?

Answer: Dudley Dursley

Dudley Dursley is the son of Petunia and Vernon Dursley. He made Harry's life miserable, until Harry got accepted to Hogwarts. Dudley is spoilt rotten by his parents. Dudley has a pack of friends that call him Big D. Dudley tells his parents that he's going to tea with his friends but really they go around the neighbourhood, bullying younger kids and vandalising the area.

In "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", when Harry and Dudley are saying goodbye Dudley says thanks for saving his life from the dementors. So, we find out he's really not that bad.

2. This muggle was killed by Voldemort. He was the gardener of the Riddle house. He was suspected of killing the three Riddles. Who is this muggle?

Answer: Frank Bryce

Frank Bryce is an old man. He worked as a gardener for the Riddle family. The family consisted of Mr and Mrs Riddle and their son Tom. Tom Riddle was Tom Riddle Jr's father. He abandoned his wife Merope who was a wizard when she got pregnant. She had fed him Love Potion and stopped giving it to him one day in the hope that he'd stay for the child's sake. He didn't and after Merope gave birth to Tom she died. He was left in an orphanage until Albus Dumbledore, a teacher at Hogwarts then, told him he was a wizard. Tom would later be known as Voldemort.

When Tom grew older, he went to the Riddles' house and killed them. Frank Bryce was convicted of killing them as he had their house key. In the end, he was found innocent, but the real killer was never found. Frank went back to tend to their garden. One day Voldemort and his servant Wormtail came to the house to stay as they had nowhere else to. Frank saw the lights on and went up to see what was going on. Voldemort killed him the instant he saw him.

3. This muggle is the sister of Lily Evans. She has a long neck and a horsey face. She loves gossip and spying on the neighbours. She spoils her son rotten. Who is this muggle?

Answer: Petunia Dursley

Petunia Dursley is the wife of Vernon Dursley. Her son, Dudley, is spoilt rotten by her. When she was little, she and her sister Lily were very close. After Lily was accepted to Hogwarts, Petunia got angry. She thought she was a freak. We actually find out in the last book that Petunia wrote to Dumbledore, the Headmaster, and asked if she could go to Hogwarts.

The answer was, of course, no, as she was a muggle. After Lily's death Petunia took in her son Harry. He was never treated well by her and she was always nasty and mean to him.

4. This muggle is the father of Severus Snape. He was married to Eileen Prince. Who is this muggle?

Answer: Tobias Snape

Tobias Snape is Severus Snape's father. He isn't mentioned in the books much, so we know hardly anything about him. We know that he was very abusive to his wife and son. We see this during Harry's Occlumency lessons with Snape in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix".

5. This muggle was the matron of Tom Riddle's orphanage. She is described in the book as a skinny, harassed-looking woman with a sharp-featured face that appeared more anxious than unkind. Who is this muggle?

Answer: Mrs Cole

Mrs Cole is the head of the orphanage that Tom Riddle stayed at. Tom was born in the orphanage. His mother, Merope Gaunt, had nowhere to go when she was giving birth so they took her in. She died soon after Tom was born. Mrs Cole named him Tom Marvolo Riddle under Merope's instructions.

6. This muggle is a Junior Minister to the British Prime Minister. A Death Eater put the Imperius curse on him and he began impersonating a duck. While at St Mungo's he tried to strangle several Healers. Who is this muggle?

Answer: Herbert Chorley

We first hear of Herbert Chorley in "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince". We don't actually meet his character but just hear what happened to him. Ministry of Magic officials escorted him to St Mungo's Hospital for Magic Maladies and Injuries. His memory was then obviously erased, as he's a muggle.

7. This muggle was the pretty girl who rode past the Gaunt shack with Tom Riddle on a horse. She was very rich and snobby and only had one line in the book. Who is this muggle?

Answer: Cecilia

Cecilia is the girl that Tom Riddle Sr is in love with. They ride past the Gaunts' shack on a grey horse. They laugh and are disgusted by the state it's in. We see this through Bob Ogden's memories in "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince".

8. This muggle is Dudley Dursley's best friend in the first book. He is scrawny and has a face like a rat. He is a member of Dudley's gang. Who is this muggle?

9. This muggle was a friend of Mrs Dursley. She was on holidays in Majorca in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" so she couldn't mind Harry while the Dursleys went to the zoo. Who is this muggle?

Answer: Yvonne

The surname of Yvonne is unknown. She is only mentioned once in the books. It was Dudley's birthday and Harry was originally supposed to be staying with Mrs Figg until she broke her leg. Yvonne was vacationing in Majorca at the time, so she couldn't mind Harry.
