Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Mildred Hubble

Mildred is in her first year and really tries her best. She is not helped by her broken broom and fear of the dark!

2. Why were the first years given cats?

Answer: Tradition

Part of the tradition was that the cats were black. Unfortunately there were no black cats left and Mildred was given a tabby.

3. What colour is a laughter potion?

Instead of making a laughter potion Mildred made an invisibility potion (which is green) by mistake.

4. What number cauldron are Mildred and Maud using in the potions test?

Answer: 2

This is mentioned by Miss Hardbroom when she notices they have made the wrong potion.

5. What is the school badge?

Answer: A cat on a yellow moon

This is mentioned in the first chapter, in the description of the school uniform: a black gymslip, grey shirt, grey and black tie. The only splashes of colour were a coloured sash and the badge.
