Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. You are walking through Hogwarts and you decide to go to the library to find out more about Hogwarts. You ask Madam Pince the librarian if there are any avaliable copies of 'Hogwarts a History'. She says that she will give you the book if you can state her first name. What is it?

Answer: Irma

Irma Pince is the Hogwarts librarian. She bewitches books to hit you over the head if you scribble in them, which you find out in the introduction of 'Tales of Beedle the Bard'. It won't be a happy ending for you if you are caught eating or talking in the hushed-up library. "A warning: If you rip, tear, shred, bend, fold, deface, disfigure, smear, smudge, throw, drop, or in any other manner damage, mistreat, or show lack of respect towards this book, the consequences will be as awful as it is within my power to make them" is what Irma Pince states in a note in a library book!
2. You walk outside to enjoy the book in the sun. You come across Professor Sprout tending to some plants. She agrees to tell you about magical plants if you can state her first name. What is it?

Answer: Pomona

Pomona Sprout has been the Hogwarts Herbology professor for many years and is head of Hufflepuff house. She matured Mandrakes to recover petrified students and ghosts in 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'. After the death of Albus Dumbledore in 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince', Professor Sprout says, "I feel that if a single pupil wants to come, then the school ought to remain open for that pupil".
3. After jotting down your newly found information, you realise that this year the Tri-Wizard tournament is going to take place at Hogwarts. That explains why, on your way to the lake, you see Professor Karkaroff emerging from the Durmstrang ship. You ask him about the first task. He says he will tell you if you state his first name. What is it?

Answer: Igor

Igor Karkaroff is the Headmaster of The Durmstrang Institute of Magical Learning, who visits Hogwarts in 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'. He has a colourful past as a Death-Eater (Lord Voldemort's followers) and was in Azkaban Prison but was released because he gave names of other Death-Eaters, including Barty Crouch Junior. Karkaroff was later killed by his former comrades because he gave their names to the Ministry of Magic. Remus Lupin reports this at Harry's 16th birthday party in 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'.
4. You re-enter the castle, passing the hospital wing. You peer in and catch sight of numerous bottles of Skele-Gro, Pepper-Up Potion and other magical medicines. You think medicine would be a good career choice. You tell this to Madam Pomfrey, the matron and she agrees to tell you some tricks of the trade if you can state her first name. What is it?

Answer: Poppy

Poppy Pomfrey can mend broken bones and treat illnesses, she can even regrow bones, asseen in 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'. If you are feeling off-colour or are suffering from an injury, she is the woman to go to. Madam Pomfrey was the matron at Hogwarts when James Potter, Lily Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, and Severus Snape were students, and was still the matron when Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Ginny Weasley came to Hogwarts in 'Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone'.
5. You are walking past a suit of armour when you see a bespectacled woman. You soon realise that it is the Divination Professor, Professor Trelawney. Very fascinated by her branch of magic, you approach her. She agrees to give you some crystal-gazing tips if you can state her first name. What is it?

Answer: Sybill

Sybill Trelawney is the Divination Professor at Hogwarts. When you climb through the trap door and into her class room you will come across crystal balls, cups filled with tea-leaves and palms being read. For her homework, you would write a dream diary and work out what your dreams mean in the next lesson, as students had to do in 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'.
6. You continue walking and you see Professor McGonagall. She is looking severe, as usual, and she asks you why you are not at the feast. You tell her that you were exploring Hogwarts. She agrees to tell you about the more difficult branches of Transfiguration if you can state her first name. What is it?

Answer: Minerva

Minerva McGonagall is the Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts. She is Deputy Headmisteress and head of Gryffindor house. Her father was a priest and she shocked some magical people by keeping her muggle father's name. She has two younger brothers, Malcolm and Robert Junior.

Her mother was a witch, her father a muggle. The sorting hat took five and a half minutes deciding whether to put her in Brave Gryffindor or Intelligent Ravenclaw.
7. You are walking past a suit of armour when you meet the caretaker Filch. He asks you why you are not in the Great Hall. You stammer that you were just on your way there now. He agrees not to give you detention if you can tell him his first name. What is it?

Answer: Argus

Argus Filch is the Hogwarts caretaker. He does not carry a wand because he is a squib,as is revealed in 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'. A squib is someone whi is born into a magical family but has no magical powers at all. He is barely ever seen out of the company of his cat, Mrs Norris; many Hogwarts students want to give Mrs Norris a good kick! One of his greatest ambitions is to get Peeves the Poltergeist kicked out of Hogwarts.
8. You run to the great hall and run straight into Professor Hagrid, who is also late. You get talking, and he invites you to tea. You are delighted, but you can only accept if you know his first name. What is it?

Answer: Rubeus

Rubeus Hagrid is a half giant. His mother was the great giant Fridwulfa. He has a half brother Grawp and a dog Fang, whom we meet in 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'. Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts in his third year for opening the Chamber of Secrets, but he had never actually done it. Dumbledore gave him the job as gamekeeper and later the Care of Magical Creatures professor.
9. You are just about to enter the Great Hall when professor Snape prowls up behind you and tells you that the feast is almost over so you should come to his office instead. You ask him why, and he says that Filch has been complaining about you. You are flabbergasted. However, if you can state Snapes's first name, you can go back to the feast. What is it?

Answer: Severus

Professor Severus Snape came to Hogwarts to become a double agent for Dumbledore after his former master Voldemort killed the woman he had always loved, Lily Potter (as revealed in 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'). Snape has always been interested is the Dark Arts.

He has always wanted the Defence Against the Dark Arts job, but Dumbledore kept him as Potions master. Snape's father was Tobias Snape, and his mother was Eileen Prince.
10. You keep walking back to the Great Hall and you walk right through the only ghost teacher, Professor Binns. He says he will not hold anything against you for foolishly walking through him if you can state his first name. What is it?

Answer: Cuthbert

Cuthbert Binns is the only ghost teacher at Hogwarts. According to his history, recounted in 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets', he once fell asleep in the teachers' lounge; when he woke up, he was a ghost, he just left his body behind. His lessons are boring to most students.

He is the History of Magic professor. He has black eyes and pale skin. He is known to drone on about Goblin rebellions and Giant wars.
