"It stands alone on a cliff overlooking the sea, its walls embedded
with shells and whitewashed... Wherever Harry went inside the
tiny cottage or its garden, he could hear the constant ebb and flow
of the sea, like the breathing of some great, slumbering creature.
He spent much of the next few days making excuses to escape the
crowded cottage, craving the cliff-top view of open sky and wide,
empty sea, and the feel of cold, salty wind on his face."
Who lived here ?

4
It is an extremely dangerous plant that strangles those who
approach it by wrapping them in its (usually dark, and in a
developed plant thick) tendrils. Struggling or resistance to it
will cause the plant to exert a greater force of constriction.
Where have we seen this plant (which book) and also name it.

4
In the first book.
Devil’s Snare

5
In the Chamber of secrets, this is what Percy advises Harry,
"Depends where you want to go, Harry,’ he said. ‘It’s never too early to
think about the future, so I’d recommend X. People say Muggle Studies
is a soft option, but I personally think wizards should have a thorough
understanding of the non-magical community, particularly if they’re
thinking of working in close contact with them - look at my father, he
has to deal with Muggle business all the time. My brother Charlie was
always more of an outdoor type, so he went for Care of Magical
Creatures. Play to your strengths, Harry.’
Give X.

6
After the death of Albus Dumbledore, he wrote Dumbledore’s
eulogy that was published in the Daily Prophet.
He also attended the wedding of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour.
At the wedding, Harry spotted him sitting alone and drinking
champagne and decided to join him and the two had a brief
conversation about Dumbledore's childhood.
Who and Where do we first encounter him?

6
Elphias Doge
Part of The Advance Guard.
Retrieved Harry Potter from 4
Privet Drive and escorted him to
12 Grimmauld Place

7
There are two types of Patronuses: corporeal which means a Patronus
with a particular shape and form and incorporeal Patronus.
Incorporeal Patronuses have no particular shape and do not protect
against dementors the way corporeal Patronuses do.
Which member of the Order of the Phoenix produces incorporeal
Patronus deliberately to hide his/her identity?

8
"Harry looked over at the Slytherin table and saw a horrible ghost sitting
there, with blank staring eyes, a gaunt face, and robes stained with silver
blood." - Book 1.
He was a wizard who attended Hogwarts during the time of its
Founders. After Hogwarts, he fell in love with Helena Ravenclaw,
daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, but she did not love him. He was sent
by Rowena Ravenclaw to find Helena, after she stole her mother's
diadem and ran off. He found her but she refused to return with him
and so he killed her in a rage. When he realised what he had done, he
stabbed himself with the same knife and died. Who?

9
"Harry could feel the Felix Felicis wearing off as he crept back into the
castle. The front door had remained unlocked for him, but on the third floor
he met X and only narrowly avoided detection by diving sideways through
one of his shortcuts.”
When Harry drank the Felix Felicis potion, on his way to Hagrid's he
didn't encounter anyone in Hogwarts and thus was able to sneakily go
through. But on his return when the effect of the potion weared off, he
encountered someone. Who?

It exists in the muggle world, among others such as Boomslangs and
Dittany, and we are introduced to it in the first book when Snape asks
Harry in the very first potions class; where he would go to find it.
It helps save someone very close to Harry in the later books. What are
we talking about?

11
In Deathly Hallows, during the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry sees
Professor Sprout and Neville along with 12 more students, rushing
through Hogwarts, wearing X and carrying Y. Y is a plant that is a vital
component of restorative potions. However, here they planned to use
this plant against Death Eaters.
Give X and Y.

12
“X’s principles might’ve been good in the beginning. […] And I
wasn’t the only one who was handed straight to the Dementors
without trial. X fought violence with violence, and authorized the
use of the Unforgivable Curses against suspects. I would say he
became as ruthless and cruel as many on the Dark Side.”
Sirius talking about whom in Goblet of Fire?

13
In Goblet of Fire, Harry sees the trials of Death Eaters such as
Karkaroff, Bellatrix, etc and also the trial of Ludo Bagman, by looking
into Dumbledore's pensieve. In Order of the Phoenix, Harry himself
has to appear in Courtroom 10; the same room where these previously
mentioned trials were conducted, for his hearing about the use of
magic in front of a muggle. These trials are conducted in the presence
of about 50 people wearing plum-colored robes, with an initial W on
the left-hand side of their chest.
Which governing body under the Ministry of Magic, do these 50 people
constitute?

14
In Order of the Phoenix, Harry, Hermione and Ron order three
butterbeers in Hog's Head, paying six sickles for them.
Considering that buying one bottle of Butterbeer costs 2 galleons, how
many glasses of butterbeer can be served from one bottle?

14
1 galleon = 17 sickles
One bottle costs 2 galleons, so 2*17 sickles = 34 sickles.
One glass costs 2 sickles, so one bottle serves 34/2 glasses = 17

15
In the Chamber of Secrets, when Hermione had deduced that it
was the Basilisk that was responsible for Petrification of
Muggle-born students. Hermione ran into X. They both then
used X's mirror to find Basilisk as to not look into its eyes.
But, ultimately, both get petrified.
Who is X?

15
Penelope Clearwater
Ravenclaw student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry. In her later school years, she was a Prefect, and
eventually started dating Percy Weasley, a Gryffindor student
and a fellow Prefect

16
While Arthur Weasley was given seats by a fellow colleague
Perkins. We get to know of someone else too who attended the
Quidditch World Cup as a guest of Cornelius Fudge because of his
donations to the St. Mungo's Hospital.
Who was it? Much to the Weasley’s disappointment.

17
There are many portraits on the walls of Hogwarts, some serve an
important purpose as a means of fast communication. Like the
portraits in the Headmaster’s office. Also the portrait of Ariana
Dumbledore in Hog’s Head plays a key role as a reliable
messenger. But there’s one portrait hung on the walls of Minister
of Magic’s office that is distinctively different from all others.
What purpose does this unique portrait serve?

17
Means of communication between the Minister of Magic and the
Muggle Prime Minister.

18
Barnabas the Barmy was a wizard who made a bizarre and
foolish attempt to train trolls for the ballet.
A moving tapestry depicting his attempt is hung on the
seventh floor of Hogwarts opposite to what?

19
On the third floor of Hogwarts Castle, one can find a large stone statue
of a witch. To the left of the statue was a classroom, in which Fred and
George Weasley gave Harry Potter the Marauder's Map.
By tapping the back of the statue with one's wand and saying
"Dissendium", one will open up the secret passageway in the statue's
back. This very narrow earthy passageway twists and turns, finally
rising to large a stone staircase that leads to X.
What is this place X?

19
Honeydukes, sweet-shop in Hogsmeade.

20
On your right you see the cover of the very 1st
UK edition of Harry Potter and and the
Philosopher's Stone.
It depicts Harry Potter at Platform 9 and three
quarters. Although Harry’s expression looks
like it is the first time he is visiting the station,
a particular element in this illustration points
that Harry might be actually returning back
from Hogwarts.
What element in this illustration?

In a conversation between some of the ministry officials which
includes Arthur Weasley, we get to know about one particular
item listed as a Muggle Artifact by the Registry of Proscribed
Charmable objects. Barty Crouch Sr recalls the time when his
grandfather had this before they were banned.
Although this magical object is popular in other countries,
Britain uses Y mostly and Bagman predicts how this muggle
artifact may never replace Y in Britain.
Tell me the muggle Artifact and Y

Muggle artifact: magic carpets
Y: broomsticks

In the image on the right you can a type

On Harry’s 17th birthday, he was gifted a watch by Molly
Weasley which originally belonged to X, who died in the first
wizarding World War.
Molly states that it is a tradition to gift a watch to wizards on
their 17th birthday. She remarks that it is not as good as Ron’s
because X didn’t particularly take care of his things.
What was special about this watch?

X: Fabian Prewett
The watch had stars instead of hands

In the list of spells invented by the Half-Blood Prince, there is

Levicorpus
caused the victim to be
hoisted into the air by their
ankle

"As for monkshood and X, they are the same plant, which also goes
by the name of aconite."
This is what Snape tells us in the very first potions class of
Harry in Hogwarts. Aconite is an important ingredient in the
preparation of X, which was invented fairly recently.
The consumption (or no consumption) of influences the
climax of a particular book.
Identify X

Vipera Evanesca is a spell that is used to vanish a snake.
Albus Dumbledore used this spell to vanish Voldemort’s snake
in the duel that happened in the Ministry.
Before this incident, Severus Snape uses this spell once,
where?

The 12 uses of X is credited to Albus Dumbledore.
In the Order of the Phoenix, it is green in color, while in Half-
Blood prince it is scarlet in color.
In the film adaptation Dumbledore was able to tell from taste
that it was X, but in the novel, he had to ask Slughorn what it
was.
Identify X

X are known to infest mistletoe, and to be mischievous
thieves. Luna Lovegood claimed that her Butterbeer cork
necklace kept the X away and that her papers and shoes were
taken by X.
Name X.

X are described as fairy or nymph-like creatures in Slavic mythology,
who live in bodies of water and have power and ability over storms,
but are known to morph into swans, snakes, horses, or wolves.
Interestingly, it is said in some legends that if a specific part of them
is ‘removed’ X will either die or be forced to change into a non-
human shape, which seems contradictory to the Harry Potter text,
although there are explanations regarding these.
Although the slavic term sounds very similar to an ‘upper-class
house’. JKR has used an anglicised version for the books. Also, we
never hear the term X in movies.

Slavic term: Vila
Anglicised term (used in HP books): Veela

In Deathly Hallows, to confirm Harry's identity, Lupin asks
Harry what was in Lupin's office the first time Harry was in

They show aggressive behaviour only ever been tamed by
merpeople; the half-fish beings keep them as pets. They
caused the early retirement from the second task of Tri-
Wizard Tournament of Fleur Delacour, and nearly killed Harry.
Name X.

Just like wizards and witches didn’t take Voldemort’s name.
These creatures don’t take the name of the Basilisk.
Anatomically these creatures have multiple eyes which gives
them a very wide field of vision, this makes them pretty
vulnerable to Basilisk.
Which creatures?

Grunnings Drill is a drill
manufacturer company. An

times.
How/where does he ‘carry’ the map of London underground ?

a scar above his left knee

The literal translation of this character’s name means
someone who loves strange things and his/her profession
surely reflects this.

shoulder-length white hair the texture of candyfloss and
wearing garishly coloured robe.
Name the character.

Xenophilius Lovegood
(Xenos "strange" and -Phile "love")
