Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", what is the name of the three-headed dog who guards the trapdoor?

Answer: Fluffy

Hagrid has a way of seeing everything in a positive way, so the monster dog is named Fluffy. Play him a bit of music and he'll go right to sleep. Hagrid let that bit of info slip, and probably regrets it dearly.

2. Hagrid's pet dog accompanies him on his trips to the Forbidden Forest. What is the dog's name?

Answer: Fang

As Hagrid warns Malfoy, Fang is a coward. Maybe he should trade names with the three-headed Fluffy.

3. Hagrid gives Harry a snowy owl as a birthday present in the first book. What does Harry name her?

Answer: Hedwig

Hedwig delivers mail to Harry - that's what owls are for!

4. In "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", Hermione purchases a cat. What is his name?

Answer: Crookshanks

Cat lovers are always faithful.

5. Ron Weasley has a hand-me-down pet rat. What is its name?

Answer: Scabbers

This rat is not what he seems! In the third book, it is revealed that he's really Peter Pettigrew, an Animagus.

Answer: Hippogriffs

These easily offended animals are untrusting of people who blink too much. Buckbeak, clearly Hagrid's favorite, helps the fugitive Sirius Black escape to freedom.

7. In "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", Harry participates in the Tri-wizard Tournament. One of his tasks is to get past a dragon of what breed?

Answer: Hungarian Horntail

As Charlie Weasley tells Hagrid, its back end is as dangerous as its front due to a spiked tail. I'd bet Hagrid wants one.

8. In the first book, Hagrid hatches a dragon egg. What name did Hagrid give the dragon?

Answer: Norbert

Norbert was another of Hagrid's bad ideas. Charlie took Norbert (whose name was later changed to Norberta - it was a girl dragon!) to be released into the wild.

9. Dumbledore's pet that appears in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is a bit odd. What is it?

Answer: Phoenix

Fawkes the phoenix dies during the story and is reborn from its own ashes, the trademark of a phoenix. Fawkes saves Harry from the basilisk's poison by crying its healing tears on the wound. Useful little things, aren't they?

10. Filch's cat patrols the halls and reports back to her master. Of course, she is not well liked. What is her name?

Answer: Mrs. Norris

Mrs. Norris was petrified by seeing the basilisk's reflection in water. Filch was devastated. Don't worry cat lovers, she was cured.
