Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Why hasn't Harry heard from his wizard friends over the summer?

Answer: Dobby has intercepted his mail.

The book reveals more clearly how distressed Harry feels about this. He feels completely cut off from his wizard life and thinks his friends have forgotten him.

2. Ron and the Weasley twins rescue Harry from Privet Drive. Where do they take him?

Answer: The Burrow

The Burrow is the name of the Weasley's home. The film did an excellent job of creating that set -- what a fun place to visit! Harry is thrilled. It's the first time he has ever been in a wizard home.

3. Harry and Ron couldn't get through the barrier at the train station because they arrived too late.

Answer: False

Of course, it was Dobby. The boys were a tad late, but they should have been able to get through anyway.

4. The boys are late getting to Hogwarts since they missed the train. Who is the first person they run into once they arrive?

Answer: Filch

They run into Filch (with Mrs. Norris) who sends them to Professor Snape. This differs from the book (they run into Snape first in the book). Peeves isn't in the movie.

5. Name the Defense (Defence) Against the Dark Arts teacher. Spelling counts!

Answer: Gilderoy Lockhart

Played brilliantly by Kenneth Branagh -- Hugh Grant was first considered for the part. I didn't think Branagh would be "pretty boy" enough for the part, but he was fantastic.

6. How did Moaning Myrtle die?

Answer: She looked the Basilisk in the eye.

Myrtle was hiding in the bathroom because she was being teased. Tom Riddle had opened up the Chamber and released the Basilisk. That particular bathroom was the location of the entrance to the chamber. (Oddly enough, Hermione had a similar experience in the first book -- she's hiding in a bathroom, crying, and a troll enters and nearly kills her. I think Myrtle would have been happy for the company!)

7. The Hogwarts students suspect whom of being the heir of Slytherin?

Answer: Harry Potter

He keeps being found in the wrong place at the wrong time. And they learn he can speak Parseltongue (snake language).

8. What is the name of Dumbledore's pet phoenix?

Answer: Fawkes

A phoenix is a mythical bird that bursts into flames when it dies, then arises reborn from its ashes. Fawkes is a huge help to Harry in the Chamber. (By the way, it is one of Fawkes' feathers that is lodged within Harry's wand... Tom Riddle had one, too.)

9. Who possessed Tom Riddle's diary at the very beginning of the movie?

Answer: Lucius Malfoy

Mr. Malfoy slips the book into Ginny Weasley's cauldron when the two families run into each other at Diagon Alley. Ginny corresponds with Tom Riddle for awhile, becomes afraid, and drops it into the toilet... right through Moaning Myrtle's head.

10. If you're patient and stay through the credits, you learn a little more about one of the characters. Which one?

Answer: Gilderoy Lockhart

I won't add any info in case you haven't seen that part. The credits are long, but it's worth waiting till the end. Very cute!
