The article doesn't tell us this, but Ron's letter to Harry does.

2. When and from where does the Hogwarts Express depart?

Answer: 11:00, September 1, Platform 9 3/4, King's Cross Station

I wish there was a platform 9 3/4...that'd be cool.

5. What did Ron's new wand consist of?

Answer: 14 inches, willow, containing one unicorn tail hair

11 inches, holly and phoenix feather is Harry's wand; 9 inches, beechwood and dragon heartstring is one of the ones Mr. ollivander had Harry try out; and 16 inches, oak is what Hagrid's wand was (I made up the phoonix feather part, it deesn't say what else was in Hagrid's wand).

6. When the twins bewitched Percy's Head Boy Badge, what did they make it say?

Answer: Bighead Boy

Percy thought that Ron stole the badge and wouldn't let him leave the room till it was found. Poor Ron, Fred and George were "improving" it. A play on the words "head boy." The twins also called him "humungous bighead" at one point.

7. Where on Professor Lupin's briefcase was his name stamped?

Answer: one of the corners

"The name 'Professor R. J. Lupin' was stamped across one corner in peeling letters."

8. What is the name of the knight in the painting who helps Harry, Ron, and Hermione find the Divination classroom?

Answer: Sir Cadogan

Sir Cadogan also takes over for the Fat lady after she gets attacked.

9. What kind of solution were the Gryffindors making in their first potions class of the term?

Answer: Shrinking Solution

Harry and Ron are greatly irrtated by Malfoy pretending his arm is injured, because Snape makes the two of them prepare Malfoy's potion ingredients for him.

10. What is the name of Lavender's pet rabbit that was killed by a fox?

Answer: Binky

And of course, Lavender thinks that this is the fulfillment of Professor Trelawney's prediction that the thing Lavender had been dreading would come true on the 16th of October. Hermione thinks it was just a coincidence.

11. What house was Gryiffindor playing in the only match that Harry has lost since he came to school?

Answer: Hufflepuff

Actually, they did lose the final match of Harry's first year, but that was because Harry wasn't playing at the time. The match in this question was against Hufflepuff, and Harry fell off his broom because of the Dementors. Diggory didn't realize what had happened and tried to call a rematch, but even Wood admitted that Hufflepuff won fair and square.

12. Where does the tunnel inside the One-Eyed Witch lead?

Answer: Honeydukes

Just say "Dissendium" and you're on your way!

13. Why did Hermione tell Professor McGonagall about the Firebolt?

Answer: She thought it was from Sirius Black

As it turns out, the broom was sent by Sirius Black, only he wasn't out to kill Harry.

14. When Professor Lupin was teaching Harry the Patronus Charm, what was the first memory Harry tried to use?

Answer: the first time he was on a broom

Apparently, none of these memories were strong enough, since none of them really worked. Although, it was an accomplishment to do anything, seeing how the Patronus is very advanced magic for a 13 year old wizard.

15. What was the final score of the Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw match? (really tricky question, it doesn't actually say this in the book)

Answer: 230-30

Jordan said in his commentary that "Gryffindor leads by eighty points to zero." Then it said that Ravenclow scored three goals making the score 80-30. then Harry caught the Snitch, giving Gryffindor and extra 150 points, making it 230-30. You probably would have had to look at the book to get this one right.

16. The second time Harry snuck into Hogsmeade, how did he get discovered?

Answer: Crabbe's foot caught on Harry's cloak

Oops. Nice going guys. Harry had a narrow escape from trouble that time. Lucky for him, Lupin covered for them.

Answer: more than 50

Before the match, Harry was having a hard time getting to classes on time since everyone in the House was walking with him to keep the Slytherins from sabotaging the Gryffindor Seeker. I realize that "more than 80" and "more than 100" both would work, but Wood kept repeating "You must catch the Snitch ONLY if we're MORE THAN 50 points up. Got that Harry?"

18. "O.W.L.s" stands for..?

Answer: Ordinary Wizarding Levels

Fred and George had to take these, as everyone does in their fifth year at Hogwarts.

19. Similarly, "N.E.W.T.s" stands for...?

Answer: Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests

Percy was getting ready to take these at the end of his seventh year, and he hoped to get really good scores so that he could get into the Ministry of Magic.

20. What is the word that extinguishes the light at the end of a wand?

Answer: Nox

This is the only time in the four books that we hear this particular charm.

21. What happened to Ron when he was pulled into the tunnel under the Whomping Willow?

Answer: his leg broke

Poor Ron, that had to hurt.

22. What caused the villagers to think that the Shrieking Shack was haunted?

Answer: Lupin would scream and make horrible noises when he turned into a werewolf

Lupin bit and scratched himself since he was separated from other humans to bite, and so the people thought that some violent spirits lived there, a story that was encouraged by Dumbledore.

23. Who conjured the Patronus that stopped the dementors from giving Harry their "kiss?"

Answer: Harry

Harry saw himself do it, but thought it was his father. His Patronus was the shape of Prongs, the stag his father used to turn into when he transformed as an Animagus.

24. How had Hermione been getting to her classes all year?

Answer: Time Turner

She kept doing hours over, and McGonagall made her swear she wouldn't tell anyone. This TimeTurner is how Harry and Hermione saved both Buckbeak and Sirius from their fates.

25. What news did Harry give to Uncle Vernon that absolutely horrified him at the end of the year?

Answer: that he, Harry, had a convicted murderer for a godfather

Harry "forgot" to mention that Sirius was innocent. oops. Must have slipped his mind....
