Answer: Armando Dippet

The book was called "Armando Dippet: Master or Moron?". Dippet was Dumbledore's predecessor. Phineas Nigellus was one of the rare Slytherin headmasters, and according to his great-great-grandson Sirius Black, the "least popular headmaster Hogwarts ever had". Dexter Fortescue and Dilys Derwent were other headmasters of Hogwarts.

Answer: Wand

In the task, the champions had to jump in the lake and rescue what they would "sorely miss". But Harry still couldn't think of something that would enable him to breathe underwater. So he, Ron and Hermione went through several books from the library on the previous night, in the hope that they would find something useful.

8. Which of the following was not one of Gilderoy Lockhart's books?

Answer: Gadding with Giants

The book is mentioned in "Quidditch Through The Ages". It is also stated that the first rule in this book is "Take out the Seeker".
