Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. When sitting on the wall next to Professor Dumbledore at the beginning of the book, who does Professor McGonagall bet was the wizard responsible for the shooting stars seen by Muggles over Kent?

Answer: Dedalus Diggle

Professor McGonagall reckons it was Dedalus Diggle, as "he never had much sense". Harry actually meets Dedalus while on his first trip to the Leaky Cauldron almost ten years later.
2. When meeting Professor Quirrell in the Leaky Cauldron, what did he tell Harry was the subject of the book he was in London to pick up?

Answer: Vampires

Hagrid told Harry that when Professor Quirrell took some time off from studying out of books to gain some firsthand experience in Defense Against the Dark Arts, he met vampires in the Black Forest and had a "nasty bit o'trouble" with a hag.
3. Known by the students as Nearly Headless Nick, what was Nick's actual name?

Answer: Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington

Sir Patrick Delaney-Podmore makes an appearance at Nick's deathday party in Chamber of Secrets. Nick makes a sarcastic comment about his rival, calling him Sir Properly Decapitated-Podmore
4. We know that Parvati Patil was sorted into Gryffindor house, but what house was her twin Padma sorted into?

Answer: Ravenclaw

Knowing that family members are not always sorted into the same house, Ron was scared that he wouldn't be put in Gryffindor like the rest of his family had. He did say that Ravenclaw wouldn't be too bad, which is lucky seeing as how he later took Padma to the Yule Ball in "The Goblet of Fire"!
5. When Malfoy challenged Harry to a wizard's duel, where did he suggest they meet at midnight?

Answer: Trophy Room

Malfoy suggested the trophy room, as it was always unlocked. The third floor corridor on the right hand side was where Fluffy was kept, Harry, Ron, and Hermione used empty classrooms to practice for the Triwizard Tournament. We don't see the Room of Requirement until "The Order of the Phoenix" when its used as the meeting room for the DA.
6. During Harry's first Quidditch match, who was the captain of the opposing team?

Answer: Marcus Flint of Slytherin

We're introduced (though only briefly) to Cedric Diggory in Prisoner of Azkaban. Roger Davies is the Ravenclaw captain in "The Goblet of Fire", and Montague become the Slytherin captain in "The Order of the Phoenix".
7. What nationality was the man Hagrid bought Fluffy from in the pub?

Answer: Greek

Though I always think it's Dutch (why, I don't know!), it is Greek, a "Greek chappie" to be exact!
8. Where do Nicolas Flamel and his wife Perenelle live?

Answer: Devon

We find out that due to the powers of the Sorcerer's Stone. Nicholas was 665 years old, while Perenelle was 658.
9. When venturing into the Dark Forest with Hagrid for their detention, who is the first centaur Harry and Hermione see?

Answer: Ronan

When asked if he'd seen anything unusual, Ronan replied "Mars is bright tonight"! Seconds later, a second centaur, Bane, was asked the same question, and his response was the same. Hagrid responds by calling them "Ruddy stargazers"!
10. After going through the trapdoor guarded by Fluffy, Harry and Hermione make it to Snape's protection. Hermione takes the potion that allows her to go back the way she came, while Harry take the one that allows him to pass forward through the flames...what color are the flames that Hermione passes through?

Answer: Purple

Hermione walked back through purple flames and red was the color of the flames shown in the movie.
