Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What potion is created by mixing powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?

Answer: Draught of Living Death

Severus Snape tells Harry this in "Sorcerer's Stone" during the first Potions lesson. Harry later makes the Draught of Living Death in "Half-Blood Prince" on his first day of Potions with Horace Slughorn.
2. In "Order of the Phoenix", Snape breaks one of Harry's potions because he is angry that Harry saw Snape's worst memory. What potion does Snape break?

Answer: Invigoration Draught

The memory Harry saw was of James and Sirius picking on Snape. Harry originally thought he would earn an Exceeds Expectations on his potion, but after Snape broke it, he received a zero.
3. Who invented the Elixir of Life?

Answer: Nicolas Flamel

Harry learns this in "Sorcerer's Stone" when Hermione discovers it in a library book shortly after their Christmas holidays. Harry originally realized that he knew the name Flamel from the back of Dumbledore's Chocolate Frog card, which he read on the train to Hogwarts.
4. During the first Potions lesson in "Sorcerer's Stone", which ingredient does Neville add to the cauldron before turning off the flame while brewing a Boil Cure, causing boils to erupt on his skin?

Answer: Porcupine Quills

Neville establishes his poor potion-making skills on the very first day of Potions. In this instance, his mistake causes acid-green smoke to fill the room and Seamus's cauldron to melt.
5. Professor Slughorn instructs his Potions class to make "something amusing" in "Half-Blood Prince", while most of the class is taking their Apparition test. What potion does Draco Malfoy make?

Answer: Hiccoughing Solution

Harry, Draco, and Ernie Macmillan are the only three Potions students too young to take the Apparition test in April. Because there are only three people in class, Slughorn allows them to make anything they want. Harry makes the Elixir to Induce Euphoria and Ernie invents his own potion.
6. What does the Half-Blood Prince say to do with the sopophorous beans while brewing the Draught of Living Death?

Answer: Crush them

Harry learns this during his first Potions lesson in "Half-Blood Prince". By following the Prince's instructions, Harry brews the best potion in his class and wins a bottle of Felix Felicis.
7. Which of the following is not an ingredient in the Polyjuice Potion?

Answer: Sneezewort

Hermione mentions lacewing flies, fluxweed, and knotgrass in "Chamber of Secrets" just before the Quiddtich match in which Harry breaks his arm. Sneezewort, on the other hand, is used in Befuddlement Draughts, which Harry reads in his Potions textbook in "Order of the Phoenix" just before the first meeting of Dumbledore's Army.
8. Which of the following is an ingredient in Strengthening Solution?

Answer: Salamander blood

Harry makes this potion in "Order of the Phoenix" while Dolores Umbridge is inspecting Snape's Potions class. Harry is so focused on this inspection that he pays little attention to his potion and almost adds pomegranate juice instead of salamander blood.
9. Which of the following does Harry not smell when he is near Amortentia?

Answer: Freshly mown grass

Slughorn brings in Amortentia on the first day of Potions class in "Half-Blood Prince". Hermione tells the class that each person smells what attracts them; she reports smelling grass and parchment.
10. Armadillo bile, scarab beetles, and ginger roots are all used in which potion?

Answer: Wit-Sharpening Potion

Harry makes this potion in "Goblet of Fire" just after the Second Task of the Triwizard Tournament. Harry purposely spills his armadillo bile so that he can stay behind and listen to Snape's conversation with Karkaroff.
