Answer: Because the hopping pot was punishing him for every person he refused to help.

For every person the wizard refused to help, the hopping pot would give him a bit of that person's sufferings. For example, a woman came to the door and told him that her granddaughter was afflicted by a crop of warts. When the wizard refused to help, the hopping pot sprouted a single brass foot and was covered in warts.

The pot would hop around with him everywhere until he helped the muggles with there problems.

Answer: Heart

The warlock was a wizard who saw that when you fall in love you become foolish and lose your appetite and your dignity. So the warlock swore to himself that he would never fall in love. One day he gave up his promise and found a woman worthy of winning his heart but he didn't feel anything.

When the woman was invited to a great feast, he took her down to the dungeon where he kept his heart in an enchanted crystal casket, but when he got there it was shriveled and hairy. He put the hairy heart back into his chest to occupy the empty cavity once more.

However, he didn't like the feeling it left him, so he tried to swap his own heart for the woman's which ended up killing them both.

Answer: False

Babbitty was a witch who lived as the washer woman for a village inhabited by muggles, wizards and witches. A foolish king decided that he alone should posses magical powers so he asked for someone in the village to come and teach him how to do magic. One brave charlatan came forward and started teaching the foolish king some simple magic tricks, though of course none of them were actual magic.

Then one day the king announced that he was going to prove his magical ability, so the charlatan went to Babbitty for help.

She agreed to help him as long as the king didn't know she was a witch. So, on the day of the performance, Babbitty hid behind a bush close to where the king was standing and did the magic for him. However, the king decided to reawaken a dead animal, which of course is impossible. Of course, the king couldn't do the magic so the crowd laughed.

The charlatan then told the king that Babbitty was a witch. Babbitty then ran way from the village and pretended to turn into a tree.

The king's men found the tree and attempted to kill Babbitty by chopping the tree down. However, Babbitty, being a witch, was able to turn into a rabbit and had hidden in the tree, which of course was now a tree stump. Babbitty, as the tree stump, threatened to put a curse on the village if the wizards and witches there were not aloud to practice magic. From then on the magical people of the village were aloud to practice magic in peace.

Answer: Wee Willykins

It reads:
"Then the little golden pot danced with delight- hoppitty hoppitty hop!-on its tiny rosy toes! Wee Willykins had cured all the dollies of their poorly tum-tums, and the little pot was so happy that it filled up with sweeties for Wee Willykins and the dollies!
'But don't forget to brush your teethy-pegs!' cried the pot.
And Wee Willykins kissed and huggled the hoppitty pot and promised always to help the dollies and never to be an old grumpy-wumpkins again."

Answer: Lucius Malfoy

His letter read:
"Any work of fiction or non-fiction that depicts interbreeding between wizards and Muggles should be banned from the bookshelves of Hogwarts. I do not wish my son to be influenced into sullying the purity of his blood line by reading stories that promote wizard-Muggle marriage."

Answer: Horcrux

A horcrux is an object, usually with value or special to the creator, where he/she has hidden a part of his/her soul for the purpose of becoming immortal. To create one you must commit murder but the whole process is unknown. Here are some of the only fool proof ways of destroying a horcrux:
Fiendfyre
Basilisk venom
The sword of Godric Gryffindor
The killing curse

Answer: Crucio

As Babbitty threatens to put a curse on the village, so whenever they hurt a witch or wizard it "will feel like an axe stroke in your own side, until you wish you could die of it!" Dumbledore notes that the cruciatus curse had not yet been made illegal and she could have used that curse to produce precisely the sensation with which Babbitty threatened the king.

Answer: marry

Dumbledore includes three rhymes that refer to different wand types:
"When his wand's oak and hers is holly,
Then to marry would be folly."
"Rowan gossips, chestnut drones,
Ash is stubborn, hazel moans."
"Wand of elder, never prosper."
