Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the chapter in which Lyra meets Mrs. Coulter, there is an abduction performed by the Gobblers. Later in the book, Lyra finds this boy without his daemon in a shed. Who is he?

Answer: Tony Makarios with Ratter

It is after the chapter that Lyra meets Mrs. Coulter. In the movie, it is Billy with Ratter.
2. What was forgotten or forgiven?

Answer: When Lyra stole the Costa's boat.

The year before, Lyra had captured the Costa's elaborate boat.
3. What does Lyra tell an old woman with a scarlet macaw daemon in Chapter 5 about her parents?

Answer: Her parents were a count and a countess who died in an aeronautical accident in the North.

The one of them being a king and queen are from the third book and the one where Ma Costa takes care of Lyra is partly true. The other incorrect answer is the real story of Lyra's parents.
4. Which one is the only true person that Lyra meets at the cocktail party?

Answer: A man with a green serpent snake.

The man with the green snake daemon is called Lord Boreal. Lord Boreal is a very important character in the second and last books.
5. According to Kaisa, the Gobblers are called what among the clans?

Answer: Dust hunters

The Gobblers are also called child- cutters, but in Chapter 11, Kaisa is talking to Fader Coram.
"Not war, Kaisa. We are going to free the children taken from us. And I hope the witches will help." [Fader Coram to Kaisa]
"Not all of them will. Some clans are working with the Dust hunters." [Kaisa to Fader Coram]
" Is that what you call the Oblation Board?" [Fader Coram to Kasia]
"I don't know what this board may be. They are Dust hunters. ..." [Kaisa to Fader Coram] Kaisa also goes on to say that they are from Bolvanger, which means fields of evil.
6. What does Bolvangar mean?

Answer: "Fields of Evil"

Bolvangar is a term used by the locals. 'Vangar' in Norwegian means 'grass plains'. Bolvangar is a fictional place. In the book it is called 'the station'.
7. What is unique about the Tartars?

Answer: The have wolf daemons

All daemons vanish into a colourful puff. Daemons speak the same language as their people and Dust doesn't have a language. The Tartars guarding Bolvangar have wolf daemons for extra protection.
8. What is unique about witches' daemons?

Answer: They can fly far away from their people

All witches and their daemons die. Many people have bird daemons.
9. Can non-witches successfully separate from their daemons (in this book)?

Answer: No

I do not want to give anything away, so I am sorry if you have read the other books and got this question incorrect. In this book, it is not possible for them to survive after separation.
10. What is the last thing Lyra does?

Answer: Walks into the sky.

She does fly with Roger in Mr. Scoresby's balloon at the end of the movie. The one, "She follows a cat into the Aurora." will be known to those who've already read the series. And I don't believe she ever told Roger, "See, I came", but she might have.
