Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the first chapter of the "Philosopher's Stone", Mr Dursley is watching the news. The news reporter says the name of the weather man. What is the name of the weather man?

Answer: Jim McGuffin

When asked if there were to be more owls, Jim McGuffin replies by saying that there had been a downpour of shooting stars instead of rain, but he suspects that people have just been celebrating Bonfire Night too early.

Answer: Bowed in a shop

Dedalus Diggle was the tiny man in the violet top hat that had once bowed to Harry. Aunt Petunia had, needless to say, been furious when asking if Harry knew him before rushing out of the shop with out purchasing anything.

Answer: The hotel manager

When Harry tries to take the letter Uncle Vernon swipes his hand away, which earns a stare from the manager. Harry and Dudley, by the way, stay in room number 17.

4. When in the Leaky Cauldron in chapter five, which witch/wizard is it who keeps shaking Harry's hand?

Answer: Doris Crockford

Harry also meets Professor Quirrell, the stuttering Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. Professor Quirrell is in Diagon Alley to pick up a new book on vampires.

5. The first person to be sorted in chapter seven is Hannah Abbott and the second is Susan Bones, both in Hufflepuff. Who was the fourth?

Answer: Mandy Brocklehurst

Mandy Brocklehurst becomes the second Ravenclaw of the year. Blaise Zabini is the last to be sorted and becomes a Slytherin.

6. What do Marcus Flint, Terrance Higgs, Adrian Pucey and Miles Bletchley all have in common other than Quidditch?

Answer: All belong in Slytherin

Marcus Flint was the Slytherin Quidditch Captain and a Chaser in books one to three; Terrance Higgs was the Slytherin Seeker in book one; Adrian Pucey is a Slytherin Chaser; and Miles Bletchley (who's first name we learn in book five) is the Slytherin Keeper.

7. When everyone is focused on Harry during the Slytherin versus Gryffindor match in chapter eleven, no one notices Slytherin Captain, Marcus Flint, score five times.

Answer: True

Twenty minutes after the game, Flint was still raving about how Harry hadn't 'caught' the snitch, but 'swallowed' it. Again, no one payed any attention.

8. What did Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia give Harry for Christmas in chapter twelve?

Answer: A fifty-pence piece

Considering how they were when Harry left for school, he found this rather friendly of them. Ron was fascinated by the coin so Harry gave it to him.

9. When Harry and Hermione bring Norbert the dragon up to the tallest tower at the end of chapter fourteen, they meet some of Charlie Weasley's friends. How would they best be described?

Answer: A cheery lot

When they arrived, they showed Hermione and Harry a harness which they'd be suspending Norbert from. After buckling Norbert safely into the harness, Harry and Hermione shake the group's hands and thank them.

10. In chapter fifteen, the centaur named Firenze saves Harry from Voldemort. Firenze gives Harry a ride on his back. Which other centaur says to Firenze "Have you no shame"?

Answer: Bane

Firenze, Bane and Ronan then have an argument over the customs of centaurs and what has been read in the planets. Bane does not approve of helping humans, but Firenze feels it was necessary.
