Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Whom did Harry choose as the Gryffindor Keeper?

Answer: Ron Weasley

Hermione Confounded McLaggen to make him miss his fifth shot and lose the position to Ron. The Chasers are Demelza Robins, Ginny Weasley, and Katie Bell. The Beaters are Ritchie Coote and Jimmy Peakes.

2. Who was cursed on the return trip from Hogsmeade?

Answer: Katie Bell

Katie had been given a package in the bathroom at the Three Broomsticks by an Imperiused Madam Rosmerta (as determined later). Luckily, she only brushed the cursed necklace (meant for Dumbledore) with a tiny bit of skin, but even then, she had to go to St. Mungo's. Harry recognized the necklace as the one he'd seen at Borgin and Burkes.

3. Why didn't Tom Riddle like his name?

Answer: There are a lot of other people named Tom, and his Muggle father was named Tom.

Tom Riddle has and always will prefer to work alone. That's why he changed his name from Tom Marvolo Riddle to Lord Voldemort. He also doesn't want to be associated with his Muggle father of the same name.

4. Why did Ron do so well in the Quidditch match against Slytherin?

Answer: He thought he'd been given Felix Felicis.

Harry let Ron and Hermione see him "put" Felix Felicis in Ron's pumpkin juice at breakfast. Ron did very well and was shocked when Harry revealed that he faked it.

5. Whom did Harry take to Slughorn's Christmas party?

Answer: Luna Lovegood

Hermione warned Harry that she had overheard Romilda Vane discussing the best way to slip Harry a love potion. To avoid taking the love potion by mistake, he simply asked Luna to come with him.

6. What did Rufus Scrimgeour want Harry to do for the Ministry of Magic?

Answer: Make it appear that he's working for them.

Rufus thought that if Harry was seen at the Ministry from time to time, it would give the impression that he's working for them. Everyone would feel a lot better with the "Chosen One" around, protecting them from Voldemort.

7. What did Tom Riddle ask Professor Slughorn about?

Answer: Horcruxes

Dumbledore showed Harry a memory of Tom Riddle asking Slughorn about Horcruxes. However, Slughorn had tampered with the memory, covering up the parts he didn't want people to see. Therefore, Dumbeldore asked Harry to get the real memory from Slughorn.

8. How did Harry cure Ron's poisoning?

Answer: a bezoar

Ron, after taking a drink of Madam Rosmerta's oak-matured mead, immediately began to become ill and turn blue. Harry quickly found a bezoar and shoved it down Ron's throat, saving his friend's life.

9. Who accidentally hit Harry and injured him during the Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff Quidditch match?

Answer: Cormac McLaggen

Cormac had taken over as Keeper because Ron was in the hospital wing. Apparently, Cormac thought Jimmy couldn't hit a Bludger right and grabbed his bat. He tried to aim at a Hufflepuff Chaser, but ended up hitting Harry instead. Gryffindor lost the match 320-60.

10. For how long has Dumbledore not been able to keep a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher for more than one year?

Answer: Since he refused the position to Lord Voldemort.

Lord Voldemort came to Hogwarts where he would have influence over many young witches and wizards. Dumbledore refused him the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and since then, Dumbledore has had to find a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher each year.
