Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is Dumbledore's full name?

Answer: Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore is his full name. Dumbledore is a half blood. His mother, Kendra was a muggleborn and his father Percival was a Pureblood. Albus had a brother called Aberforth and a sister called Ariana. Dumbledore's original hometown was Mould-on-the-Wold. They moved to Godric's Hollow a while after.
2. What colour was Dumbledore's hair before it turned silver?

Answer: Auburn

We find this out in "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" when Harry and Dumbledore look through Dumbledore's memories. Dumbledore was visiting the orphanage where Tom Riddle lived to tell him he was a wizard.
3. What is Dumbledore's boggart?

Answer: The corpse of his sister

A boggart is a shape shifter. It makes the shape of whatever you're scared most of. Dumbledore was terrified of seeing his sister's corpse because when he, Aberforth and Grindelwald were having a fight, one of them killed Ariana. They still don't know who though. Dumbledore was very close to his family but that kind of tore he and Aberforth apart.
4. Which of these titles best describe Dumbledore?

Answer: Headmaster of Hogwarts

Dumbledore used to teach Transfiguration before becoming Headmaster. He is also Order of Merlin, First Class, and Grand Sorcerer, Founder of the Order of the Phoenix, Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards and Chief Warlock of the Wizengmot. Most of these are under his name in the letter Harry got from Hogwarts.
5. Who is Dumbledore's brother?

Answer: Aberforth Dumbledore

Aberforth Dumbledore owns The Hog's Head in Hogsmeade. His patronus is a goat. Aberforth saves Harry, Ron and Hermione from the Dementors in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". He tells them all about his childhood. He said he was left to mind his sister, Ariana, when Albus studied magic.

He said he didn't mind though and he was the only one who control her. Albus asks Aberforth to buy the other magic mirror from Mundungus Fletcher who stole it from Grimmauld Place when Sirius died. Harry had the other end and Aberforth watched over him. Aberforth sends Dobby to Malfoy Manor to rescue Harry and his friends.

He also lets people apparate into his bar to get into Hogwarts to fight in the Battle of Hogwarts.
6. Who is Dumbledore's deceased sister?

Answer: Ariana

Ariana Dumbledore was Kendra Dumbledore's only daughter. She was the youngest member of the family. One day, when Ariana was too young to go to Hogwarts, two muggle boys were spying on her. They saw her do magic. When they asked her to do the trick again and she wasn't able to, they beat her up.

She was never the same again. Her father, Percival, went after the boys and harmed them. He got sent to Azkaban, the wizarding prison, for it. Ariana was never able to do magic again and she used to have dangerous tantrums.

When she had a really bad one, her mother was killed by accident. Then Albus and Aberforth had to mind Ariana on their own. One day, Gellert Grindelwald moved into their neighbourhood and Albus made friends with him. Then, when Albus, Aberforth and Gellert were at home with Ariana, a fight broke out. One of them killed Ariana by accident but they don't know who did it. Grindelwald fled the country and turned bad.
7. Which one of Voldemort's horcruxes did Dumbledore destroy first?

Answer: The ring

Horcruxes are pieces of your soul. You can split your soul and then if you die you can come back. Voldemort made seven horcruxes. Dumbledore had a hunch that Voldemort had made horcruxes in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". He knew the diary had been a horcrux. Dumbledore found the ring in the Gaunt shack.

The ring was left there by Voldemort because he thought no one would look there. Dumbledore smashed the ring open with Gryffindor's Sword. When Dumbledore found the ring he put it on his finger.

The ring contained a curse and that curse made Dumbledore's hand go black and withered. In "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" Dumbledore and Harry go to a cave and find another horcrux. Only it's a fake one. The mysterious RAB leaves a note inside it and says he was going to destroy the real one.

After Dumbledore dies, Harry is left to destroy the horcruxes.
8. Who killed Dumbledore?

Answer: Severus Snape

Dumbledore and Snape had arranged for Snape to kill Dumbledore. After Dumbledore gets the curse from the ring, Snape tries to cure it. He fails. Dumbledore asks him to kill him when the time is right to stop him dying a long and painful death. Voldemort asks Draco Malfoy to perform a task for him. Thinking he will fail, Voldemort asks Draco to kill Dumbledore. Dumbledore knows about this. Draco's mother, Narcissa, asks Snape to make the Unbreakable Vow with her.

She asks Snape to help Draco and kill Dumbledore if Draco fails. Snape agrees.

In the end, Draco doesn't kill Dumbledore, Snape does. We find out in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" that this is arranged.
9. In "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" what did Dumbledore leave Ron Weasley in his will?

Answer: His Deluminator

Rufus Scrimgeour, the Minister for Magic, comes to The Burrow on Harry's birthday. He is coming to give Harry, Ron and Hermione the things that Dumvledore left them in his will. Harry gets left the first snitch he ever caught. The Resurrection Stone was inside it.

He was also left Gryffindor's Sword but Scrimgeour wouldn't let him have it because it wasn't Dumbledore's to give. He leaves Hermione "The Tales of Beedle the Bard". It is a children's story book. He leaves Ron his Deuminator. A Deluminator puts out lights when you click a button. We learn that it also transports you to where you want to go, as it did with Ron.

It brought Ron back to Harry and Hermione.
10. What is the name of Dumbledore's phoenix?

Answer: Fawkes

Fawkes is the phoenix. She gave two of her tail feathers to Harry and Voldemort's wands. In "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" when Harry gets injured by the basilisk, Fawkes heals his wounds.
11. What did Dumbledore tell Harry he saw in the Mirror of Erised in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"?

Answer: Himself, holding a thick pair of woolen socks

Harry asks Dumbledore this after he finds the mirror in a deserted classroom. Harry sees himself with all his family, alive and happy. Dumbledore tells Harry that he sees himself holding a thick pair of woolen socks. He says that no one ever gives him socks for Christmas. He was of course lying. Harry realises that it was quite a personal question to ask.
12. What did Dumbledore really see in the Mirror of Erised?

Answer: All his family alive

He saw the same thing Harry saw: all his family alive and happy. He lied to Harry about what he really saw because it was quite a personal question. The Mirror of Erised shows your heart's deepest desires and that's what Dumbledore really wanted.
13. What did Dumbledore teach before he became Headmaster?

Answer: Transfiguration

Dumbledore is now Headmaster. Professor McGonagall now assumes the post of Transfiguration. Transfiguration is a class where you learn how to turn one object into another. Professor McGonagall said that Transfiguration was a complicated subject.
14. Dumbledore is on a Chocolate Frog Card.

Answer: True

Harry and Ron eat all kinds of sweets on the Hogwarts Express in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". They eat some Chocolate Frogs. In every packet of Chocolate Frogs there is a card. On this card there is a picture of a famous witch or wizard and some information on them. Harry gets Dumbledore. On his card it says that Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald in 1945, he discovered twelve uses for dragon blood and that he enjoys tenpin bowling and chamber music.

It also says that he is considered to be the greatest wizard of modern times.
15. What was the name of the biography Rita Skeeter wrote about Dumbledore's life?

Answer: The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore

There are 900 pages in this book. Rita Skeeter finished this book within four weeks of Dumbledore's death. Rita interviewed Bathilda Bagshot for the book. Bathilda was an old neighbour of Dumbledore's. In her book there are facts about Dumbledore's family. There were excerpts of the book published in the Daily Prophet, the wizarding newspaper.
