Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In 1993, which of these spells did Hermione use on Harry, just before the Quidditch match against Hufflepuff, that then enabled his goggles to repel water and dirt?

Answer: Impervius

Hermione cleverly used this charm on Harry's goggles just before the match, which slightly helped in him being able to see during the stormy match. This stroke of genius also sparked Angelina Johnson to use this spell on the rest of the team when she was captain in the 1995/1996 school year.

2. What spell did Tonks use on Harry after Malfoy injured his nose in 1996?

Answer: Episkey

Harry also used this spell later that year, to fix Demelza Robins' broken lip. Also, in the movie version of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", it is Luna who finds Harry on the train and fixes his nose with this spell, instead of Tonks.

3. What is the spell that clears the target's airway, if it is blocked?

Answer: Anapneo

Horace Slughorn used this spell on Marcus Belby in 1996, when he choked on food, trying to answer a question too fast.

4. What is Ginny Weasley's specialty?

Answer: Bat-Bogey Hex

Ginny is known as a superb caster of this spell. She has used it successfully on both Zacharias Smith and Draco Malfoy and even gained the attention of Horace Slughorn who after seeing her cast the spell, invited her for lunch with the Slug Club.

5. What does the spell "Glisseo" do?

Answer: Turns stairs into a slide

Hermione Granger used this spell in 1998 to escape Death Eaters. The spell "Orchideous" conjures a bunch of flowers from the end of the caster's wand and "Geminio" makes an identical copy of an object. The spell "Glacius" freezes an object, as demonstrated in several of the Harry Potter video games.

6. Which of the following spells magically locks a door and prevents it from being opened by muggle means?

Answer: Colloportus

Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville and Luna used this spell several times in the Department of Mysteries to temporarily hold up Death Eaters.

7. What is the correct incantation when using a severing charm?

Answer: Diffindo

This spell is used several times throughout the series. One such time is when Harry used it to break open Cedric's bag, to give him an excuse to be able to talk to him about the upcoming Triwizard Task.

8. Which spell did Remus Lupin use in 1993 to expel a bit of chewing gum from the key hole Peeves put it in, launching it up Peeves's nose?

Answer: Waddiwasi

This spell was only used once throughout the series. It successfully got rid of Peeves and Lupin received great admiration from the class following his use of the spell.

9. When Harry got his Firebolt in 1993, it was inspected for curses and hexes by several of the teachers. Which hex did Professor Flitwick suspect may have been put upon the broomstick?

Answer: Hurling Hex

Professor McGonagall informed Harry that several staff members, including Professor Flitwick, were inspecting the broomstick. These precautions were being taken due to Sirius Black's escape, resulting in Harry's safety being jeopardised.

10. What is Aberforth Dumbledore's patronus?

Answer: Goat

We discover that his patronus is a goat when he uses it to try and convince the Death Eaters that it was him who set off the Caterwauling Charm in 1998 and not Harry, Ron and Hermione.
