Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The first dream Harry mentions occurs in the second chapter of the first book. Aunt Petunia's shrill voice awakes Harry from a dream with a flying motorcycle in it. Harry has a funny feeling he's had the same dream before. What kind of dream does Harry say it had been?
2. While not exactly a dream, this recurring vision (that often would haunt his thoughts as he tries to drift to sleep) is extremely important. Harry sees a blinding flash of green light. (Harry thinks it's the car crash his aunt and uncle told him his parents died in, but the light comes from the Avada Kedavra curse.) When Harry first learns how his parents really died (from good ol' Hagrid), he painfully remembers the light more clearly than ever before. What else does Harry now remember for the first time?
3. After dementors suck all the happiness out of Harry during a Quidditch match in "...Prisoner of Azkaban", Harry hears the last moments of his mother's life, and falls fifty feet from his broomstick. For the rest of the weekend in the hospital wing, Harry dozes fitfully during the night hours, sinking into dreams. He would jerk awake after these nightmares, only to dwell again on his mother's voice. Do you remember what these nightmares are full of?
4. In chapter 13 of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" ("Gryffindor Versus Ravenclaw"), Harry has a very strange dream that is interrupted by Ron's scream. Ron had just seen Sirius Black with a knife! But what happened in Harry's dream? I'll start the dream for you. "[Harry] was walking through a forest, his Firebolt over his shoulder, following something silvery-white. It was winding its way through the trees ahead, and he could only catch glimpses of it between the leaves. Anxious to catch up with it,
5. The last dream mentioned in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" occurs in the chapter "The Quidditch Final", because Quidditch is always a very stressful time for Harry. This match was what everyone in Gryffindor was anticipating- if Harry caught the Snitch when the team was more than 50 points up, Gryffindor would win the Quidditch Cup for the first time since the legendary Charlie Weasley! Slytherins even kept trying to trip Harry (so that the Gryffindor team's Seeker would be unable to participate) as the poor boy walked to class! Harry's dream was the classic nightmare where everything possible goes wrong on a really important day. It starts off with Harry having overslept, and Wood yelling at Harry that they had to use Neville instead. Then the dreams shifts, and every member of the Slytherin team is riding dragons. As Harry tries to avoid a spurt of flames from Malfoy's dragon, what additional dream-like detail does Harry realize has happened?
6. Considering the entire first chapter of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" is a dream, I feel two questions must be dedicated to it...
Tom Marvolo Riddle (Lord Voldemort) murdered his father, and his grandparents too! The rich, snobbish, and rude Riddles had been found dead, and since three apparently healthy people will not drop dead of natural causes on the same night, the police investigated. (The only person seen near the house on the day of the Riddles' deaths has been sighted only by Frank Bryce the gardener: a teenage boy, a stranger, dark-haired and pale.) Frank was going to be accused of murder... but everything changed when the report on the Riddles' bodies came back. The police had never seen an odder report! What had been concluded?
7. Voldemort says a word to Wormtail, immediately following Wormtail's retort that he thought Bertha Jorkins might be useful when he came across her and brought her to his master (Voldemort). This word proves, as Professor Snape says in book 5, that "the Dark Lord is very skilled at Legilimency". What word does Voldemort say?
8. At the end of Harry's 4th year at Hogwarts, Harry had witnessed Voldemort's return to power in a graveyard... and Harry had seen Cedric Diggory, by then a friend, murdered. In the beginning of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", Harry has been haunted by these memories night and day. He tries with all of his might to not dwell on them during the day, because he will inevitably have nightmares later on. Unfortunately, this is hard to do, as Dudley decides to tease Harry about the dreams, having no idea as to what they're about. "'I heard you last night,' said Dudley breathlessly. 'Talking in your sleep. Moaning.'" Harry pretends he doesn't know what Dudley means, but Dudley continues anyway. "Dudley gave a harsh bark of laughter and then adopted a high-pitched whimpering voice. 'Don't kill Cedric! Don't kill Cedric!'". Who does Dudley ask Harry if Cedric is?
9. In chapter 21 of the fifth book, "Harry dreamed he was back in the D.A. room. Cho was accusing him of luring her there under false pretenses; she said that he had promised her a hundred and fifty Chocolate Frog cards if she showed up. Harry protested.... Cho shouted, 'Cedric gave me loads of Chocolate Frog cards, look!' And she pulled out fistfuls of cards from inside her robes and threw them into the air, and then turned to Hermione, who said, 'You did promise her, you know, Harry.... I think you'd better give her something else instead.... How about your Firebolt?' And Harry protested that he could not give Cho his Firebolt because Umbridge had it, and anyway the whole thing was ridiculous, he'd only come to the D.A. room to put up some Christmas baubles shaped like Dobby's head..." and then the dream changed. What was happening in the new dream?
10. During Harry's "dream" in "... Order of the Phoenix" Voldemort tells Sirius to take the prophecy down from the shelf. Voldemort says that he himself cannot touch it, but Sirius can. As Sirius refuses, Voldemort uses the Cruciatus Curse on Sirius and laughs when Sirius falls writhing in pain. "'Lord Voldemort is waiting....'" says the voice coming from Harry's mouth. What does Sirius whisper in response?
