Q3
• The Harry Potter fandom has also led to the development of at least one religion. The
religion of ‘Xism' was active from 2005-2011. The Xists (popularly known as the Xwives)
worshiped the fictional character X. The Xists were mocked by the majority of the
fandom, especially the JournalFen community 'fandom_wank', for their unorthodox
belief systems. Nevertheless, recent scholarship has argued for the validity of fandom
faiths.
• The Xists exist within a context of 'canon scepticism' - the belief that Rowling is a
flawed interpreter of the Harry Potter universe who misrepresents the objective reality
of certain characters and plot developments. The Xists believe that Rowling has
misinterpreted X and disrespected him as a character. They also feel that X can contact
them and provide them with help and guidance in life.

Q4
It was invented in the eighteenth century by Abraham Peasegood, and is the most
popular wizarding game in the United States.
Centered around the explosive properties of the ball, known as the X, this game is
played between two teams with eleven players each. The players attempt to get the X
into the pot at the end of the pitch before it explodes. When the X is safely in the pot -
which contains a solution to stop the X from exploding - the scorer's team gets a point
and a new X is brought into play. Any player in possession of the X when it explodes
must leave the field of play.

Q7
Following Japanese Prime minister’s Shinzo Abe’s December 26 ,2013 visit to Tokyo’s
Yasukuni shrine the Chinese ambassador to the United Kingdom wrote in the Daily
Telegraph : “If militarism is like the haunting X of Japan , the Yasukuni shrine in Tokyo is

another rather controversial statement by his Japanese counterpart , Keiichi Hayashi , in
the same newspaper, headlined : ”China risks becoming Asia’s Y”.
Give me X and Y.

Q8
M’s favourite tale while growing up was Grumble the Grubby Goat from The Tales of
Beedle the Bard. M attended Hogwarts between 1895 and 1902. Unlike his brother, M
preferred to solve his differences by duelling, rather than dialogue. He was in brother's
shadow, as his brother was an extraordinarily talented and academic Wizard. After the
end of the Second Wizarding War, he continued to live in Hogsmeade, tending to
his goats. Give me M.

Q9
This ‘institution’ is located where it is because no one could find a better place to house
it. Everywhere in Diagon Alley was too small, so people came up with ideas to build it
underground, but it was decided that underground was too unhealthy. Eventually, a
normal Muggle building was purchased so that the people could come and go and fit in
with the crowds.
Requirements to ‘work’ here include N.E.W.T.s of at least grade E (Exceeds Expectations)
in the subjects of Transfiguration, Potions, Charms, Herbology and Defence Against the

Q11
A Kelpie is a shapeshifting water demon native to Britain and Ireland. Able to take any
form, they usually take the form of a horse with a bullrush mane. After luring unwary
travellers onto their backs, they drag them underwater and eat them, allowing the entrails
to float to the surface of the water. A Kelpie can be rendered docile and harmless by
using a Placement Charm to put a bridle over the creature's head.
Kelpie hair can be used as a wand core, although it is said to be an inferior substance
when compared with Unicorn hair, Phoenix feather and Dragon heartstring.
The largest reported Kelpie is the X Monster, who resides in X, Scotland. Its favorite form
is that of a sea serpent which leads to many Muggle sightings.

mid-thirties, it had thinned, lost a lot of its colour.
• X was characterized by weakness. Despite having been Sorted into _______, he did not

any actual inborn courage, potential that he never lived up to. The Sorting Hat may
have sensed in him a desire to surround himself with respected individuals and
believed that he would make a compatible friend to a _______; X clearly looked up to
strong, courageous people and it is possible that the Sorting Hat put him there

should’ve said! This here is X , and I’m Y !” .“Things will be seriously black for you in a
minute, you cheeky little —” But neither X nor Y was paying attention. They were
suddenly as alert as gundogs, staring past Fisher and Anderson, over the roof of the
police car, at the dark mouth of the alley. Then, with identical fluid movements, they
reached into their back pockets. For the space of a heartbeat both policemen imagined
guns gleaming at them, but a second later they saw that the motorcyclists had drawn
nothing more than —“Drumsticks?” jeered Anderson. “Right pair of jokers, aren’t you?
Right, we’re arresting you on a charge of —”. But Anderson never got to name the
charge…..

• Add four Wiggentree twigs, or until the potion turns green.
• Stir until the potion turns orange.
• Add castor oil until the potion turns blue.
• Stir until the potion turns purple.
• Add extract of Gurdyroot until the potion turns red.
• Add Wiggentree twigs.
• Add Extract of Gurdyroot until the potion turns purple.
• Leave the potion to simmer till it turns red.
• Add more gurdyroot extract till it turns green.
• Stir till it turns orange.

• Allow to simmer till it turns pink.

POTIONS 2
The P is an innovative and complex potion that relieves, but does not cure, the
symptoms of lycanthropy. The main ingredient is P (also referred to
as aconite or monkshood). As such, this Potion is very dangerous when incorrectly
concocted, since Aconite is a very poisonous substance. The way one must imbibe it is
very unique among potions, in that a gobletful of P potion must be taken for each day of
a week preceding the full moon. It is extremely difficult to make, as even Slughorn
claimed that Damocles couldn't have invented it without immense effort on his part.

WOLFSBANE

SPELL1
• The physical manifestation of the spell is a beam of red light emanating from the
caster's wand. The spell wears off after a short time, and can be countered
by Rennervate. Nearly useless on magic-resistant creatures such as dragons, trolls and
giants unless more than one ______ spell is used at the same time. The force of the spell
is additive or perhaps even exponential, and it can cause severe injury if many spells
are used on a target that is not normally resistant to its effects. Hagrid, as a half-giant,
is impervious to this spell - or at least, a lone one.

SPELL2
• ____________ is a charm that, when cast in combination with Protego
Maxima and Repello Inimicum, conjures up an almost impregnable magical protection
barrier around the area the caster intended to protect.
• Bodies crossing the boundaries of the barrier disintegrate on the spot, while spells cast
at it (if not of enough power to break it) create large, resonating explosions. This spell's
effect is most likely one that, when combined with the other two, bolsters the strength
of the shield itself against extremely powerful spells

QUIDDITCH 2
Live description of?
At 36 minutes past the second hour, it was reported that Hermione Granger did not
notice her ex-boyfriend's injury immediately, due to the ill-judged public display of
affection instigated by her husband, but she swiftly put on a display of concern. The
same cannot be said for Neville Longbottom, who appeared to be spiritedly describing
the precise manner in which Krum sustained his nosebleed for the benefit of his
godson, Albus Potter. An oddly callous display from the popular Herbology teacher.
Fourty minutes past the second hour, or 160 minutes into the
game, Krum and Silva were in a breakneck dash for the Snitch, which Silva sighted first
– he was four feet ahead of Krum as both rose almost vertically. Everyone was on their
feet, including the denizens of the VIP boxes – Harry Potter was shouting – Ronald
Weasley was swearing... Krum was gaining on Silva but was it enough…? Teddy
Lupin accidentally punched his girlfriend on the nose as he gesticulated.

business and to sell objects of Dark magic and other dangerous magical items,
including the Hand of Glory, an assortment of human bones, a pack of bloody cards, a
glass eye, spiked instruments, a hangman's rope, a cursed necklace, and an array of
leering masks that line the walls.
