A daring and controversial solution to the thorny problem was
finally suggested by Minister for Magic Ottaline Gambol who rose to
the office in 1827. In 1830, the Ministry of Magic conducted a large-
scale operation involving 167 Memory Charms as well as the biggest
Concealment Charm ever performed in Britain, in order to acquire
this entity. The morning after the operation, the residents of
Hogsmeade awoke to find this entity and a new location that had
not been there previously. Whereas, the Muggles in Crewe, had the
feeling that they had misplaced something. There was initial
resistance from pure-blood families against using this entity which
they claimed was demeaning, insanitary and unsafe. What is this
entity that we’re talking about?

7.
• X is a small object belonging to Harry Potter. The first time Harry
receives the X, it serves as a warning of a challenge he is about to
face. Once Harry overcomes the challenge (which, being Harry
Potter, he always does), X becomes a souvenir of his experience
and rests in his dormitory. In the movies, X makes a brief
reappearance roasting chestnuts in Fred & George's shop.

Round 2: Dries
• 10 questions
• Traditional pounce-and-bounce rules apply.
• +10/-5
• No referring to Muggle balderdash such as Google.

1.
• X hunting had been popular among witches and wizards since the
early 1100s. The YX was commonly found in Northern Europe.
This species was almost undetectable by Muggles due to their
hiding skills and agility. These qualities added to the prestige of
witches and wizards who managed to catch them, hence making
YX hunting a popular sport. This caused the number of wild YXs to
decrease exponentially. A certain Madam Rabnott and a Sir
Bowman Wright took action to save these species by stopping such
activities and providing a suitable alternative. The YX is a
protected species in the wizarding world, as of today. What is YX,
and what was the alternative?

Answer
• YX-Golden Snidget
• Alternative: Golden Snitch

2.
• Though mentioned only once in the book series, this shop X could
be considered more upper class than the shop Y. Draco Malfoy
threw a tantrum in Y and decided to go to X instead. Located in
Diagon Alley, a part of X’s name is a play on ‘it will fit’. ID X and Y

Answer
• X-Twilfitt and Tattings, Y-Madame Malkin’s Robes for All Occasions

Answer
• Christmas gifts that Harry received through the years.

4.
• The word X entered the English Language in the 17th century, and
is derived from the Middle French word for ‘rascal’. It refers to
someone who roams around in quest of plunder. You might hear
news reports about a/an X breaking into cars and stealing them.
Xs don’t target a specific victim or elaborately plan a crime, they
are constantly on the move looking for things to rob.
• X is also the name of an American metalcore band, active since
1990.
• What is X?

5.
• There has been some talk on scifi.stackexchange.com that J. K.
Rowling came up with the _________ _______ by taking inspiration
from those of several famous English public schools; notably Eton
College, Harrow School and Hill House School.
• More specifically, the tailcoats are inspired by Eton, the flat boater
hats are inspired by Harrow, and the awful colour-scheme and
knickerbocker trousers were inspired by Hill House.
• FITB

6.
• According to some fan theories, X is actually Eileen Prince (Snape’s
mother) in hiding, though this hasn’t been confirmed yet. The
most common support to this theory is the anagram of X’s full
name. Other elements that support it are X’s facial features which
include a hooked nose and dark hair, just like Severus Snape. X is
also known to be strict and rude. Identify X.

Answer
• Irma Pince, the Hogwarts Librarian

7.
“[…] after a few more seconds he realized that what he was watching was the
creation of pamphlets, that the paper squares were pages, which when
assembled, folded and magicked into place, fell into neat stacks beside each
witch or wizard.
Harry crept closer, although the workers were so intent on what they were
doing that he doubted they would notice a carpet-muffled footstep, and he slid
a completed pamphlet from the pile beside a young witch. He examined it
beneath the Invisibility Cloak. Its pink cover was emblazoned with a golden
title: _____
Beneath the title was a picture of a red rose, with a simpering face in the middle
of its petals, being strangled by a green weed with fangs and a scowl. There was
no author’s name upon the pamphlet, but again, the scars on the back of his
right hand seemed to tingle as he examined it.”
This is an extract from the books describing the discovery of a certain pamphlet
created by the Ministry. Name the pamphlet and its author.

Answer
• Name- MUDBLOODS and the Dangers They Pose to a Peaceful
Pure-Blood Society
• Author- Dolores Umbridge.

8.
• Throughout the Harry Potter series, we have witnessed the
Hogwarts students play various enchanted games to amuse
themselves, one of them being X. In an extremely funny turn of
events, the German translated version of the series, made a rather
unfortunate mistake in the translation of X. This mistake wasn’t
corrected for a long time and so, an entire generation of German-
speaking Potterheads was led to believe that the Hogwarts
students played the game X as a cruel mockery towards Y, an
important character in the series. What was the mistake? (or)
Identify X and Y.

Answer
• X-Exploding snap.
• Y-Snape. It was translated to ‘Snape explodiert’ which literally
means exploding Snape!

9.
• Many parallels have been drawn between X (from the Harry Potter
universe) and Y (from another universe). Like X, Y had a student
who would later go on to fight against him. Both X and Y were
killed by these students, and allowed it to happen.
• Furthermore, both X and Y would go on to advise _____ and Z
respectively from beyond the grave, helping them beat the two
former students who killed them.
• Identify X, Y and Z.

Answer
• X-Dumbledore, Y- Obi-Wan Kenobi, Z-Luke Skywalker

Round 3: Umm, actually…
• This one’s for all those fanatics who’ve spent their childhoods
inhaling the Harry Potter books!
• Think you know the books quote-for-quote? We’ve got the perfect
challenge for you!

“And thirdly,” said Uncle Vernon, his mean little eyes now slits in his
great purple face, “we’ve told Marge you attend St. Eustace’s
Juvenile Center for Incorrigibly Violent Boys.” “What?” Harry yelled.

Uncle Vernon.

It’s St Brutus’s Secure Center for Incurably Criminal Boys

Ron had taken over responsibility for Buckbeak’s appeal. When he

volumes with names like The Handbook of Hippogriff Psychology
and Ave or Grave? A Study of Hippogriff Cruelty. He was so
absorbed, he even forgot to be horrible to Crookshanks.

It’s Fowl or Foul? A Study of Hippogriff Brutality.
BACK

“I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I

confident enough to not pay attention!"
EXTRACT 4

stopper in death.”

Round 4: Dries 2
• Deciding round of the quiz!
• 10 questions
• Traditional pounce-and-bounce rules apply.
• +10/-5
• No referring to Muggle balderdash such as Google.

1.
During an interview with JK Rowling for Entertainment Weekly, the
interviewer said, “______ _______ ____ reminded me of the Hector
Patroclus Achilles triangle of the Iliad.”
To this she replied,“That’s where it came from. That really, really,
really moved me when I was 19. The idea of the desecration of a
body, a very ancient idea…..that’s what I was thinking of when _____
_____ _______ ____.”
FITB to connect this to a similar scene in the Harry Potter Universe.

Answer
• Harry saving Cedric’s body in Book 4.

2.
Both being people with flamboyant personalities, it is often
speculated that X and Y are the same person. Certain entities found
in X’s world can be easily compared to those in Y’s world. Also, both
entities are seen as working class, and engage in labour most of the
time. The objects seen in the 1971 movie adaptation that features Y,
might be a spooky allusion to how X probably felt after the death of
a certain somebody. Also, Y suffers from a disability that X would
eventually fall victim to. One of the most iconic parts of Y’s apparel
also happens to feature on the front door of X’s shop. As an added
hint, while neither X nor Y are the protagonists of their respective
stories, note that both the stories’ protagonists overcame hard times
and fought against the odds.

Answer
• X- George Weasley
• Y- Willy Wonka

3.
JK Rowling has stated many times that her favorite Shakespeare
play is Macbeth, and that it has inspired many elements in the Harry
Potter series. One influence is the parallel drawn between
Trelawney’s prophecy and the one made by the Three Witches to
Macbeth about his fate. Another influence is a song featured in the
third movie’s soundtrack which has the line, ‘Double double, toil
and trouble’, a line taken directly from the Witches’ spells.
There is one more, rather fun influence in the series. The Three
Witches were collectively known by a name, which was the direct
inspiration for the name of an entity which finds various mentions
throughout the HP series. It makes its first appearance in Harry
Potter & the Goblet of Fire.
What is this entity that we are talking about?

Answer
• The Weird Sisters, the wizarding band that performed at the Yule
Ball.

4.
This is a clip from the movie “Wild Child.” You’ve seen one of the
actors in this clip in Harry Potter as well. Who does this actor play?

Answer
• The matron played by Shirley Henderson also plays Moaning
Myrtle in the HP series.

5.
Consumption of this pill makes the person purple in the face and
straining hard during certain times of the day, giving the same facial
expression as if they’re trying to practice non-verbal spells for the
first time. The pills can be mashed up and added in food or
beverages. When given to a sufficient number of unknowing takers,
it makes them forget about bigger problems and mesmerizes them
by this new sensation. What are we talking about?

6.
These pictures are connected in a certain way. Give us the connect.

Answer
• They’re all passwords to the Gryffindor common room.

7.
• Blagging
• Bumphing
• Cobbing
• Haversacking
• Stooging
PUT FUNDA

Answer
• These are all Quidditch fouls.

8.
“I didn’t shoot it like a scene where you say action and cut. I kind of
let the camera roll for four or five minutes and I let X and Y
improvise…build an intensity together. X was able to just let go a
little bit and forget for a moment that she was acting. The screams
were quite horrible to listen It was a very odd energy in the room. In
that moment and in that day and in that room, she kind of crossed
the line as an actress.”-David Yates.
Put Funda/Give X and Y.

Answer
X- Emma Watson
Y- Helena Bonham Carter
This is the scene where Bellatrix tortures Hermione.

9.
“Three dementor attacks in a week and all Romilda Vane does is ask
me if it’s true that you’ve got a X tattooed across your chest.” Ron
and Hermione roared with laughter while Harry ignored them.
“What did you tell her?” “I told her it’s a Hungarian Horntail,” said
Ginny, turning a page of the newspaper idly. “Much more macho.”
“Thanks,” said Harry, grinning. “And what did you tell her Ron’s got?”
“A Y, but I didn’t say where.”
Ron scowled as Hermione rolled around laughing.

Answer
X-Hippogriff
Y-Pygmy Puff

10.
X is a condition characterized by throbbing temples caused due to
spending too many continuous hours poring over J.K. Rowling’s
Harry Potter series. The pain usually resolves 1-2 days after the
patient finishes the book. This term was coined by Dr. Howard J
Bennett in a letter to the editor of The New England Journal of
Medicine on October 30th 2003. In his letter he says “The take-home
message for kids is to keep reading. Read at a desk with good
lighting and take breaks.”
What is X?
