Question 1
Slytherin students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry took special
pride in X — "the most famous wizard in history" — having been Sorted into their
House. However, this fact is one that the other houses do not like to recognise.
Some of the more prejudiced Slytherins in later history also tended to ignore the
fact that X was in fact a champion of Muggle rights and disdained pure-blood
supremacism.
The Wizengamot, the judicial body of the Wizards' Council, later began awarding
a handsome golden medal, Y, after X’s Organization’s name, to witches and
wizards that distinguished themselves through their service to the wizarding
community. Some famous recipients of Y include Albus Dumbledore, Peter
Pettigrew, and Remus Lupin.

Question 2
X were one of the sweets sold by Honeydukes Sweetshop in Hogsmeade. They may
have been similar to the Muggle lollipops, but they were able to burn a hole in the
tongue.
Ron Weasley once mentioned that when he was seven, his brother, Fred Weasley,
gave him one and it burned a hole straight through his tongue. His mother then
spanked Fred with her broom.
X was also a password used to gain entrance to Albus Dumbledore's office at
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry while Harry was at school.
Dumbledore informed Harry of this via a note which included the clue "P.S... I
enjoy X."
ID X.

Question 3
X was invented by Ignatia Wildsmith in the thirteenth century. Its manufacture
was strictly controlled. The only licensed producer in Britain was ____________,
a company whose Headquarters was in Diagon Alley, and who never answered their
front door.
No shortage of X was ever reported, nor did anybody know anyone who made it.
Its price remained constant for one hundred years: two Sickles a scoop. Every
wizard household carried a stock of X.
X’s precise composition was a closely guarded secret. Those who tried to ‘make
their own’ were universally unsuccessful. At least once a year, St Mungo's
Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries reported a case. As irate Healer and
St Mungo’s spokeswizard, Rutherford Poke, said in 2010: "It’s two Sickles a
scoop, people, so stop being cheap. If one more wizard comes in here with a
burned backside, I swear I won’t treat him. It’s two Sickles a scoop!"
ID X.

Question 4
The term X may be derived from a group of nineteenth-century American
politicians who were against political corruption. That term comes from an
Algonquin word meaning "person of importance" or "war leader". There was also a
group of British pacifists who joined the Labour Party after World War I who
were called X.
There is an Old English word spelled the same, which "is a derogatory word for
somebody in charge who affects to be above petty squabbles and factions.”
In the Wizarding World, the Supreme X was an elected office and the title that
denoted the Head of the International Confederation of Wizards. Albus
Dumbledore became Supreme X at some point before 31 July 1991 but was
dismissed from his position following the Ministry of Magic denunciation of Lord
Voldemort's return. He was restored as a member of the Confederation after the
Ministry's acceptance of Voldemort's return, but not as Supreme X.

• Porpentina Goldstein
• Armando Dippet
• Horace Slughorn
• Nicolas Flamel
• Griselda Marchbanks

• Aberforth Dumbledore

Wizards/witches who lived 100+ years

Question 6
Able to take any form, an X usually chose that of a horse with a bulrush mane.
After luring unwary travellers onto their backs, they dragged them underwater
and ate them, allowing the entrails to float to the surface of the water. An X
could be rendered docile and harmless by using the Placement Charm to put a
bridle over the creature's head.
X hair could be used as a wand core, although it was said to be an inferior
substance when compared with Phoenix feather, and Dragon heartstring. During
the 1992–1993 school year, Harry Potter's second year, Gilderoy Lockhart gave
Rubeus Hagrid unsolicited advice about getting X’s out of a well, which Hagrid
found irritating. The largest reported X was the Loch Ness Monster, who resided
in Loch Ness, Scotland. Its favourite form was that of a sea serpent which led to
many Muggle sightings of the beast.
ID X.

Question 7
X is clear, colourless, and odourless and is almost indistinguishable from water.
According to Severus Snape, the potion had to mature for a full lunar phase, and
was quite difficult to produce; it was something Horace Slughorn expected his
students to be able to produce once they finished their N.E.W.T.-level Potions.
It could be mixed with pretty much any drink, and three drops was a sufficient
dosage for the required effect. Using X on a student was strictly forbidden, at
least in Hogwarts, a prohibition that Severus Snape considered "regrettable.“
Despite being the most powerful potion of its kind, X could still be resisted
through different methods, including the taking of its antidote and Occlumency.
The potion's effects could also wear off over a short period of time.
ID X.

Question 8
X was an alcoholic drink that was consumed by wizards and witches. Those under
the age of seventeen were not allowed to buy it, implying that they might not be
allowed to drink it. This rule was not always followed. Popular brands included
Ogden's Old X and Blishen’s X. It was known to cause a burning sensation when
drunk, and for filling one's body with courage.
In 1995, Ron Weasley commented that he could most likely purchase X at the
Hog's Head during the Dumbledore's Army meeting, believing that the barman
would not bother to check his legal rights to consume it. Hermione was angered at
that, furiously reminding him of his prefect status. He instead had Butterbeer.
X was also one of the ingredients in Chocolate Cauldrons.
ID X.

Question 9
X was a product of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes that caused constipation in the
unknowing taker. The pills could 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 mocking the Dark Lord. Ron Weasley, however, found
the name to be "brilliant".

Question 10
X is an immensely complex charm used to hide secret information within the soul
of the charm's recipient, who is called a Y. The information is irretrievable unless
the Y willingly chooses to reveal it, and only the aforementioned person can do so.
In 1993, it was explained that when Harry was merely an infant, he and his
parents were hidden from Voldemort with this charm; from 1995 onward it was
used to protect Grimmauld Place, and in 1998 it was used to protect Shell
Cottage.
X seems to have no effect with regard to animals, as Hedwig found Ron and
Hermione in a location that was protected by this charm; however, it is possible
that Dumbledore somehow told her, ludicrous though such may seem.

Question 11
"Halfway down the hall was a fountain. A group of golden statues, larger than
life-size, stood in the middle of a circular pool. Tallest of them all was a noble-
looking wizard with his wand pointing straight up in the air. Grouped around him
were a beautiful witch, a centaur, a goblin, and a house-elf. The last three were
all looking adoringly up at the witch and wizard. Glittering jets of water were
flying from the ends of the two wands, the point of the centaur's arrow, the tip
of the goblin's hat, and each of the house-elf's ears...“
“As they passed the fountain Harry saw silver Sickles and bronze Knuts glinting up
at him from the bottom of the pool... if I’m not expelled from Hogwarts, I’ll put
in ten Galleons, Harry found himself thinking desperately.”
What is being described here?

X – Fountain of Magical Brethren

Question 12
X was a magical law which dictated the rules of Transfiguration. There were five
Principal Exceptions to X, one of which was Y.
The formulation of X was not exactly known, but Y being one of its Principal
Exceptions meant that it could not be created from nothing. Therefore, it could
be reasonably inferred that X related in some way to Conjuration, the branch of
transfiguration involving the creation of physical matter out of thin air. It could
also be inferred that the other four exceptions were other categories of
substance which could not be created from nothing.
It should be noted that while Y could not be outright created from nothing, it
could be multiplied if one already had some Y to multiply, it could be enlarged or
the food could be summoned if one knew the approximate location and was fairly
sure the food would still be there.

Question 14
X was based at Pike Street, New York. They held weekly meetings on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays, and Sundays. They also published and distributed a pamphlet
entitled Witches Live Among Us!. They would have orphans distribute the pamphlet
in exchange for food and water.
Members of X may be of Scourer descent. The Scourers were a band of
wizarding vigilantes who wrought terror in North America in the 17th century.
Some of them managed to escape justice by marrying No-Majs and integrating
into No-Maj society. In revenge for their exile from the wizarding world, they
instilled in their non-magic descendants an abiding belief that magic exists, and
that witches and wizards should be wiped out.
Their banner depicts a wand being snapped over a large fire, possibly a reference
to both the stopping of magical practises and the Salem Witch Trials.

Question 16
An X was a female individual who carried a blood curse that eventually turned her
into a beast permanently. The curse was carried from birth and passed down from
mother to daughter. X were very different from Animagi: unlike Animagi, they
lost the ability to think like a human over time, and unlike Animagi, they are only
female. However, there were some similarities between X and Animagi, for
example, an X’s form was not limited by the lifespan of the animal they
transformed into, similar to Animagi.
Y’s human form was the first time an X was mentioned in the wizarding world
franchise.
ID X.

Question 17
X was a tactic in Quidditch where a Seeker would pretend to spot the Golden
Snitch far below and race to catch it, hoping the opposing seeker would copy. At
the last second before reaching the ground, the feinting seeker would pull out of
a dive, usually causing the opposing seeker to crash. Classified as a "Dangerous
Seeker Diversion" when viewed through Omnioculars, the X was invented by a
Polish Seeker and frequently used by Y.
On 22 August 1994, Y used X in the final of the Quidditch World Cup against
Ireland. Y successfully used the tactic to trick Ireland's Seeker, Aidan Lynch,
into diving into the ground, allowing Y a few moments to look for the Snitch
without interference.

Question 19
X was born in the British Isles to a wizarding family sometime in the Middle Ages.
Hattended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where his extreme bravery
got him sorted into Gryffindor. According to wizarding belief, at some point in his
life, he struck up a friendship with Merlin, which would eventually secure him a
prestigious position on the Knights of the Round Table.
X was appointed the task of defeating the Wyvern of Wye, which was terrorising the
West Country. X's first attempt to combat the creature ended with his original horse
killed and his wand, sword, and visor destroyed. X barely managed to escape alive.
Unlike most would in such a scenario, however, X refused to give up. At the very
least wanting to accept a valiant death, he seized a fat pony from a nearby meadow
and charged towards the Wyvern, brandishing his broken wand. Though he was eaten,
the broken wand pierced through the Wyvern's tongue and caused the fumes from its
stomach to ignite, causing the beast to explode. X and the pony survived the
encounter.
The story of X is included in wizarding versions of the tales of King Arthur, though
Muggle variations do not include him. Even among wizards, he is a lesser known figure,
though the wizarding phrase "I'll take X's pony", meaning to salvage the best one can
from a bad situation, was coined in his honour.
ID X

Question 20
X was an Ancient Greek Dark Wizard, infamous for being a pioneer in the field of
the Dark Arts. He was the first known wizard to create the Basilisk and the first
known to create a Horcrux.
Born a Parselmouth, Herpo had the ability to communicate with snakes. He spent
his life studying the Dark Arts, inventing many vile curses. At some point in his
life, after much experimentation, he created the first known Basilisk, and being a
Parselmouth, he was able to communicate with and control it.
He was one of the earliest known Dark Wizards and his work left a lasting
impression in dark magic during the 20th century. X sufficiently achieved
notoriety, earning the epithet of "the Foul" by his fellow wizards. For this, he
was featured on a Chocolate Frog Card.
ID X.

Question 21
"An excellent remedy for the more stubborn forms of acne, X. Should stop
students resorting to desperate measures to rid themselves of pimples.“
X acted as a treatment for severe acne, but undiluted X could affect unprotected
skin in unintended ways. Because of this, dragon-hide gloves were strongly
suggested when handling them. This suggests that X was a topical treatment, but
that the actual salve consisted of X either diluted in a solution or mixed with
other ingredients.
X was also used in the brewing of certain potions, such as the Healing Potion, and
fake protective potions.
ID X.

Question 23
An X was an archaic term for a student of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry whose Sorting took more than five minutes because the Sorting Hat
found them to have a personality equally suited to different Hogwarts Houses.
The Sorting Hat sometimes took the student's personal preference into
consideration in order to break such a tie.
True Xs were rare, occurring around once every fifty years, but near Xs may
have been more common.

Question 24
“X have much in common with Y, which are mentioned as separate creatures within
Harry's world. I had several good reasons for not wishing to call the guardians of
the locket Horcrux ‘Y'. Firstly, Y are not part of British folklore, but associated
with the myths of Haiti and parts of Africa. While the students of Hogwarts
would learn about them, they would not expect to meet them walking down the
streets of Hogsmeade. Secondly, while Y of the Vodou tradition can be nothing
more than reanimated corpses, a separate but related tradition has it that the
sorcerer uses their souls, or part of their souls, to sustain himself. This
conflicted with my Horcrux story, and I did not wish to suggest that Voldemort
had any more use for his X than as guards of his Horcrux. Lastly, Y have been
represented and reinterpreted on film so often in the last fifty years that they
have a whole raft of associations that were of no use to me. I'm part of the
'Thriller' generation; to me, a Y will always mean Michael Jackson in a bright red
bomber jacket.”
What are the X and Y J.K. Rowling is talking about?

Letter 4
An X was an individual, either fully human or part-human, without powers but of
magical ancestry. In 1927, Circus Arcanus had several misshapen and downtrodden
X gathering money from the onlooking crowd. It is possible that more prejudiced
members of the wizarding world would regard Squibs as X due to their lack of
magical ability yet magical parentage.

Letter 9
X was likely a pupil at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and studied
there from the age of eleven until he left some time before 1938. X probably
passed away or retired during the next 79 years, since Hannah Abbott eventually
took over X’s job.
It is possible that X encountered young Tom Marvolo Riddle on his way to
<<redacted>> for the first time, as Albus Dumbledore had told Tom Riddle to ask
for X to get there. Riddle’s potential meet with X probably left a foul taste in his
mouth due to a particular reason.
ID X and give the possible reason.

Letter 2
X was a wizarding prison used by the German Ministry of Magic. Although it had
been publicly abandoned, the German Ministry were still secretly holding people at
the facility by 1932. It was managed by a warden that confiscated the items of
each prisoner upon their arrival. There was an underground tunnel system that
allowed access. It was described by Dumbledore as the German Ministry's bed
and breakfast. It housed a giant bloodthirsty Manticore which devoured the
prisoners whenever their lanterns went out and regurgitated their bloody remains.
The prison spirals downward and has a circular shape.

Letter 5
X is a shy magical beast that only comes out of its burrow during a full moon. X
has smooth, pale grey skin, and four spindly legs that end in large flat webbed
feet. X also has a very long neck and bulging blue eyes that sit on the top of its
head.
Once X is in the moonlight, it performs complicated dance moves while standing on
its hind legs. It is believed that this is part of X mating ritual, but also has the
side effect of creating geometric patterns in wheat fields that confuse Muggles.

Letter 11
X was a charm that awakened an unconscious target. Consequently, it served as
the counter-charm to the Stunning Spell. This spell is accompanied by a flash of
brilliantly coloured red light.
Amos Diggory used it to revive Winky after he and others Ministry employees
stunned her in order to stun Harry, Ron and Hermione after the 422nd Quidditch
World Cup riot.

Letter 7
X was a magical creature that Luna Lovegood and Xenophilius Lovegood believe
existed, though many others believed them to be nonexistant or to be extinct. X
were known to infest mistletoe, and to be mischievous thieves. Luna Lovegood
claimed that her Butterbeer cork necklace kept X away and that her papers and
shoes were taken by them.
When Harry Potter and Cho Chang were about to kiss under the mistletoe just
prior to Christmas 1995, Harry joked that X may be infesting it. Cho, who had
never heard Luna discuss her belief in this creature, was confused, so Harry let
the topic drop.

Letter 3 (X)
X was the state in which a Y found him or herself: that of turning into a
fearsome and deadly Y. Muggles were far less likely to be infected by X than
wizardkind, as the wounds had a higher fatality rate. To date, there was no cure
for X. X was a deeply feared and despised condition, as tragic tales were told
that victims begged to be allowed to die rather than becoming Y.
J. K. Rowling has stated that she used X as a metaphor for Z in the Harry
Potter novels.
ID X, Y and Z

Letter 10
X was the occupational title of a witch or wizard specially trained in the use of
mental charms and employed by a wizarding governing body to help ensure that
the wizarding world was safely concealed from the non-magical community. X used
Memory Charms to modify and/or erase the recollection of magical phenomena by
non-witches/wizards, as per the International Statute of Secrecy.
In Great Britain, the renowned Mnemone Radford was the first X to work for the
Ministry.

Letter 6
X is a country governed by a Ministry of Magic, which may have punished wizards,
notably the ones profiting from Muggles via illegal activities, for breaching the
International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy. There are hardly any broomsticks in
India as the flying carpet is the preferred mode of travel. Despite this,
Quidditch has some fans on the street, and India has its own National Quidditch
team.
The Pheonix and the Occamy are two magical creatures native to X.

Letter 8
X was a British pure-blood witch, one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. X began
attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1993, two years below
her elder sister. After her son’s birth, X refused to teach her son the pure-
blooded belief that Muggles were scum, which led to a tiff between her and her
parents-in-law.
X’s life was cut short by a curse placed upon her ancestor long before her time,
resulting in her body becoming extremely frail. In the summer before her son’s
third year at Hogwarts, X died due to the toll of her family curse, leaving her
son and husband heartbroken.
