Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which Hogwarts house did Myrtle belong to?

Answer: Ravenclaw

When new students arrive at Hogwarts, they are sorted into one of the four school houses. Myrtle was a Ravenclaw student.

2. How did Myrtle die?

Answer: She was killed by a basilisk

Myrtle died in the first-floor girls bathroom. She'd been hiding in there because she was being bullied by another student, Olive Hornby. When Tom Riddle, who would later become Lord Voldemort, opened the Chamber of Secrets, he released the basilisk. Myrtle died because she looked at the basilisk's eyes rather than seeing its reflection.

3. Who found Myrtle's body?

Answer: Olive Hornby

I suppose it's not surprising that the girl who bullied Myrtle was the first to find her body.

4. A pet, belonging to which student, was accused of killing Myrtle?

Answer: Rubeus Hagrid

At the time of Myrtle's death, Rubeus Hagrid, who would later become Hogwarts gamekeeper, was a third-year Gryffindor student. His pet spider, Aragog, was accused of being Myrtle's killer. Hagrid ended up being expelled.

5. Myrtle was a pure-blood.

Answer: False

Magical children fall into one of three categories: Pure-Bloods, Half-Bloods or Muggle-Borns. A pure-blood is someone whose parents are a witch and wizard.
A half-blood is someone who has one magical parent and one muggle parent.

Myrtle was a muggle-born, meaning that her parents were non-magic.

6. In what year did Myrtle die?

Answer: 1943

There's a scene in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" where Harry is transported back in time to June 13th, 1943, the day that Myrtle died. He sees four wizards coming down the stairs, carrying Myrtle's body on a stretcher.

7. Myrtle was the only person to die when the Chamber of Secrets was first opened.

Answer: True

Despite the fact that the Basilisk attacked many students, Myrtle was the only one who died.

8. How old was Myrtle likely to have been at the time of her death?

Answer: 14

Myrtle was 11 when she started her schooling at Hogwarts in 1940. She died in her third year at Hogwarts, making her roughly 14 years old at the time.

9. How did Myrtle repay Olive for her years of constant teasing?

Answer: By haunting her

After her death, Myrtle constantly followed Olive around, mainly because she blamed Olive for the fact that she was dead. She also disrupted the wedding of Olive's brother.

10. The last thing Myrtle saw before she died was a pair of big yellow eyes. Which creature did the eyes belong to?

Answer: A basilisk

A basilisk is a type of snake. Tom Riddle was able to communicate with the Basilisk because he could speak parseltongue (snake language).
