"Which Witch?" Eva Ibbotson Trivia Quiz

Answer: Belladonna

When Belladonna first sees Arriman she knows that he is her true love, but she is disappointed because she knows that she'll never be the witch who can perform the blackest magic and win the contest.

Mabel Wrack, Belladonna, and Mother Bloodwort are all witches in the book but Gertude Grumble isn't. (I just made up the name.)

Answer: Sir Simon

Belladonna knows that she will make Arriman very happy if she raises Sir Simon. He killed all of his wives because of their annoying habits.

Answer: False

Madame Olympia's performance was actually called "Symphony of Death".

Answer: necromancy

In the middle of the book Belladonna mentions that turning a typewriter into a swarm of hornets is the most amature form of black magic. While necromancy (raising the dead) is the most complicated, evil form of black magic.

Answer: Terrence

Terrence is a lot younger than Arriman and it was he who actually brought Sir Simon back from the dead. He performed the most evil black magic and helped Belladonna win the contest and the heart of Arriman the Awful.

Answer: Mabel Wrack

When Mabel Wrack tries to summon the Kraken her annoying mermaid family comes up from the sea to greet the contestants and the judges.

Answer: white witch

Belladonna wished all her life that she could be a black witch. That's why she joined a club for black witches. She thought that some of the blackness might rub off on her, but she is most definitely not ever going to be a black witch.

Answer: Mother Bloodwort

Mother Bloodwort is constantly turning herself into a coffee table and she can't remember the un-doing spell. Belladonna has to help her.

Answer: she roots her to the ground

Belladonna is very happy that she rooted the Matron to the ground because that's the blackest magic that she has ever performed. She thinks that Terrence and his worm (Rover) bring her luck. Little does she know that Terrence was the one who really rooted the Matron to the ground.

Answer: True

Arriman thought that the witch he would wed would be ugly and he didn't want to go through with it. Next thing you know he's calling Belladonna (the witch he is to wed) pet names.

At the end of the book Madame Olympia steals Rover while Belladonna thinks he's in the box that she keeps him in.

Answer: she gets pushed into a bottomless hole

For Nancy's trick she makes a bottomless hole. While Nancy and Nora are fighting over whether Nancy's hole is bottomless or not, Nancy pushes Nora in.
