2. Dries 1

3. What’s wrong in these covers?

6. True Potterheads love books more than they love movies. This is probably
because of the fact that movies are less detailed, with lesser character
development and even lesser accuracy of the events that happen.
Now, twice has it happened, that Harry has received some form of help from X in
the books but has been misrepresented in the movies as Y.
One of these incidents occurs in Harry’s fourth year and the second of them
occurs in the fifth year.
ID X and Y.

8. X: Dobby, Y: Neville
(Gillyweed and the Room of Requirement)

9. X is valuable. An excellent remedy for more stubborn forms of acne.
According to madam sprout "should stop students resorting to desperate
measures to rid themselves of pimples"
Like poor Eloise Midgen.
What is X?

11. Bubotuber Pus

12. X, as claimed by Y speaks over 150 languages. But Z corrects the statement,
saying that X speaks over two hundred languages including Mermish,
Gobbledegook, and _______
To which K mentions dismissively,
"Anyone can speak _______, all you have to do is point and grunt.
ID X, Y and FITB

14. X: Crouch, Y: Percy Weasley, Troll

15. “He forced Hermione to show Snape her teeth - she was doing her best to hide
them with her hands, though this was difficult as they had now grown down
past her collar. Pansy Parkinson and the other Slytherin girls were doubled up
with silent giggles, pointing at Hermione from behind Snape’s back.
Snape looked coldly at Hermione, then said, “I see no difference.”
Hermione let out a whimper; her eyes filled with tears, she turned on her heel
and ran, ran all the way up the corridor and out of sight.”
What spell was used? Why did it prove beneficial for Hermione later?

17. Densaugeo
She stopped having buckteeth

18. Scarab Beetles
Ginger roots
Armadillo bile
While this brew was being made in the Potions classroom, something sudden
and unexpected happen, due to which one of the cauldrons fell, spilling the
ingredients. Due to his 'I loved your Mom, you little constant reminder of that
fact’ attitude, Snape made Harry clean up the Armadillo bile after class.
What incident happened?

20. Karkaroff showed Snape his Dark Mark

21. Stubby Boardman was the lead singer of a musical group called The
Hobgoblins, who retired in 1980 after having a turnip thrown at his ear during a
concert in Little Norton at the Church Hall. He appears to be in a relationship
with one Doris Purkiss based on the romantic candlelit dinner they are said to
have together.
If, in 1996, he was claimed to be famous witch Mina Lima by a famous
publication of the wizarding world, who was he claimed to be in 1995?

23. Sirius Black

24. On a real Galleon, there are numbers on the rim of the coin which refer to the
identification code of Goblins.
Now the fake Galleons were created using Y charm and were used for a
specific purpose, inspired by Z.
What purpose? ID Y,Z

26. Protean Charm, Dark Mark

27. X in Leather Pants is the phenomenon in which a fandom takes a controversial
or downright villainous character and downplays his/her flaws, often turning
him/her into an object of desire and/or a victim in the process. Y the Death
Eater, on the other hand, is the opposite in which the fandom takes a
canonically good character and villainizes him. They are named after
characters in HP which are known to be victims of these tropes in fandom.
ID X and Y?

29. X: Draco
Y: Ron

30. Half Blood Prince, if examined properly, has callbacks to two incidents in
Philosopher’s Stone.
The first pair (callback and original) occur at the beginning of their respective
books and involve Draco Malfoy and Hagrid.
The second pair occurs at the ends of their respective books and involve The
Golden Trio and Harry's 'hero complex‘
ID both pairs.

32. Incident 1: Meeting Draco at Madam Malkin’s
while escorted by Hagrid
Incident 2: Harry tells his friends not to
accompany him when fighting Voldemort.

33. Jesus, quoted in both Matthew 6:21 and Luke 12:34
St Paul, 1 Corinthians 15:26
How do these Bible quotes connect to HP?

35. Inscriptions on the Potter and Dumbledore
graves

36. The Polish translation of Deathly Hallows makes the parallels between
Voldemort's government and Nazi Germany explicit by using translating X to
'szmalcownicy'. This Polish word comes from szmalec, meaning money,
emphasizing money as the most important reason behind what these groups of
people did
What is X?

38. Snatchers

39. In his 6th year when Harry is taking private lessons with Dumbledore, he sees
Tom asking for a job at Hogwarts.
Dumbledore obviously refuses, saying that he is aware of the Death eaters and
his intentions.
To this, Tom tells him furiously that he is "omniscient as ever"
In reply to this
Dumbledore calmly says "Just friendly with the local ______"
The blank here refers to X.
ID X

41. Aberforth Dumbledore

42. Which Character in the series has the same first and the last quote. And what?

44. Dobby.
“Harry Potter…”

45. The X is a relatively modern invention in wizarding society, which sometimes
(though it will rarely admit it) takes ideas from the Muggle world. While some
wizards (mainly pureblood fanatics) announced their intention of boycotting
what was dubbed ‘this Muggle-esque outrage’ in the letters page of the Daily
Prophet, X proved hugely popular with most of the community and remains
busy to this day. It is so named both because it is a homonym of a Muggle
equivalent and also because the first word has the connotation of coming to the
rescue, of protection, and this seemed appropriate for something that is a last
resort.
ID X.

47. The Knight Bus

48. We know the names of three members of the family X. The most prominent is
named after a flower and her relatives are named after a god of music and
healing, and an archangel.
What family are we talking about?

89. It is a truth (almost) universally acknowledged that banning a book can actually
increase its popularity. For example, after the Vatican banned Just Love by
Sister Margaret Farley, the book rose from number 142,982 to number 16 on the
Amazon sellers list. While we know that Harry Potter has been banned by a
number of religious organizations without much effect on book sales.
What is an in-universe example of the above mentioned phenomenon?

91. Umbridge banning the Quibbler because of
Harry’s interview

92. What are the two measures Dumbledore urges Fudge to take at the end of
Goblet of Fire to help stop the rise of Voldemort?

94. Send envoys to the giants, remove dementors
from Azkaban

95. "He played Seeker," said Harry.
"What?" said Hermione vaguely; she was still immersed in Voldemort's press
clippings.
"He's sitting in the middle of the front row, that's where the Seeker ... Never
mind," said Harry, realizing that nobody was listening.
Who is the 'he’Harry is referring to?

97. Regulus Black

98. While the Trio were pretty free with their use of the Imperius Curse during the
Horcrux Hunt, Harry did not truly master the Cruciatus until almost the end of
the war. After he casts it properly for the first time he says “I see what Bellatrix
meant. You need to really mean it".
What provoked Harry so much that he could cast the Cruciatus and ‘mean it’?

100. Amycus Carrow spitting at McGonagall

101. Ginny: "You’d think people had better things to gossip about. Three dementor
attacks in a week, and all Romilda Vane does is ask me if it’s true you’ve got a X
tattooed across your chest."
Harry: "What did you tell her?"
Ginny: "I told her it’s a Y. Much more macho."
Harry: "Thanks. And what did you tell her Ron’s got?"
Ginny: "A Z, but I didn’t say where.“
X, Y, and Z?

103. X: Hippogriff
Y: Hungarian Horntail
Z: Pygmy Puff

104. Seconds later, Mrs. Weasley appeared in the bedroom doorway.
“The meeting’s over, you can come down and have dinner now, everyone’s
dying to see you, Harry. And who’s left all those Dungbombs outside the kitchen
door?”
“Crookshanks,” said Ginny unblushingly. “He loves playing with them.”
Ginny is obviously lying and Hermione’s poor cat is innocent but the real
question is, why was Ginny chucking Dungbombs at the kitchen door?

106. To check if an imperturbable charm has been cast
on it to prevent them from eavesdropping

107. There are said to be 11 of these, out of which 8 are known of.
Four of which are :
Mahoutokoro
Uagadao
Castelbruxo
Koldovstoretz
What are the other four known ones?

109. Hogwarts, Durmstrang, Beauxbatons,
Ilvermony

110. X- Physically remove (something) completely
Example:"a substance designed to X impurities from the body”
Y- Extinguish (a fire or light).
Example:"stewards appeared and the fire was Y ed“
X and Y ltd. is a fictional ramshackle store in the HP universe that serves as the
gateway from the muggle world to a larger, much more successful entity.
Of course in typical Rowling style, the words X and Y are related to the larger
entity, a cool reminder of what this larger entity does.
What entity?

112. Purge & Dowse, entrance to St. Mungo’s

113. • Failed to capture Hagrid in the Order of the Phoenix
• Taken out by Dumbledore in the Half blood Prince
• Put into Confundus charm by member of the OoTP in book 7
• Taken out by Neville’s grandmother somewhere around book 7
• Stunned by Dirk Cresswell somewhere around book 7
Who is this ‘Bad Luck Brian’ of the HP universe?

115. Dawlish

116. “If you don’t mind dying,” said Snape roughly, “why not let Draco do it?”
“That boy’s soul is not yet so damaged,” said Dumbledore. “I would not have it
ripped apart on my account.”
“And my soul, Dumbledore? Mine?”
“You alone know whether it will harm your soul to help an old man avoid pain
and humiliation,” said Dumbledore. “I ask this one great favor of you, Severus,
because death is coming for me as surely as the
______________________________. I confess I should prefer a quick, painless
exit to the protracted and messy affair it will be if, for instance, Greyback is
involved – I hear Voldemort has recruited him? Or dear Bellatrix, who likes to
play with her food before she eats it.”
Even in a dire situation like this, Dumbledore didn’t refrain from comparing his
inevitable death to a memeworthy reference in the wizarding world. What?

118. Chudley Cannons will finish at the bottom of
the league

119. “Fred and George tried to get me to make one when I was about five. I nearly did
too, I was holding hands with Fred and everything when Dad found us. He went
mental,” said Ron, with a reminiscent gleam in his eyes. “Only time I’ve ever
seen Dad as angry as Mum, Fred reckons his left buttock has never been the
same since.”
We all know what it means to be as angry as Molly Weasley.
What did the kids do to deserve Arthur’s rage?

121. Tried to make Ron swear an Unbreakable Vow

122. X is a geographical, historical and cultural region in the western part of the
county of Gloucestershire, England. It forms a roughly triangular plateau
bounded by the River Wye to the west and north-west, Herefordshire to the
north, the River Severn to the south, and the City of Gloucester to the east. The
area is characterised by more than 110 square kilometres (42.5 sq mi) of mixed
woodland, one of the surviving ancient woodlands in England.
It is also the area from which Hagrid comes.

124. Forest of Dean

125. X is a product of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes that causes constipation in the
unknowing taker. The pills can be mashed up and mixed with food or drink. The
product was advertised in the main window of the shop in the summer of 1996
in yellow writing and on a purple background. Mrs Weasley was less than
impressed with the slogan, fearing that her sons would be "murdered in their
beds" for making fun of the Dark Lord. Ron, however, found the name to be
"Brilliant".
Harry Potter once noticed that it seemed as if his classmates had overdosed on
X as they practiced trying to cast spells without saying an incantation, as they
were purple in the face and straining as they tried to make magic without
speaking.
ID X.

127. U No Poo

128. The Harry Potter books are undoubtedly very British and British-centric. The one
exception is Goblet of Fire in which the Quidditch World Cup and the Triwizard
Tournament feature foreign wizards. Rowling writes their speech with
stereotypical accents.
Prior to Goblet of Fire, there is only one incident in which a non-English dialogue
can be found in the books. The incident is also relevant in quite a few places in
the plot of the books.
What incident are we talking about or who is the speaker?

130. Boa Constrictor saying ‘Adios Amigo’

131. For what specific purpose are the following spells used in the books?
Salvio Hexia
Cave inimicum
Protego totalum
Muggo repeltum

133. Protecting the camp while they’re on the run
in Deathly Hallows

134. Three pairs of characters have made this particular journey. The members
of each pair satisfy a particular criterion.
The first pair is a house elf and the creator of this journey.
The second is the same house elf and his master
The third is a student and his teacher.
What journey?

136. Getting to the locket in the middle of the lake

137. Mischief
managed
