Basic Harry Potter Quiz

Who is Peeves???

Peeves wasn't in the movies, but he's in every book.

and the video games

Clearly didnt read the books aha

I think unlock doors should be accepted for for "Alohomora"

Agreed.

Yeah

Same here... and please also Christmas Ball for Yule, I didn't even know that this word exists

It's Yule Ball in the books

Professor McGonagall explains the concept of the Yule Ball in the fourth movie as well.

same! i tried unlock doors, opens doors...etc... this is the only one i didn't get bc i didnt say "unlocks"

I tried "opens locks". There should be more accepted versions.

Same here... "Open locks" "opens locks" "opens doors" "open doors" "unlock locks" "unlock doors" etc, please... :)

Nice quiz, check out my quizzes

I typed in "unlocks doors" "opens doors" "unlock" - none of which worked for 'unlocks' - very annoying

not sure how "unlocks doors" won't work for "unlocks" but ok...

- The United Kingdom isn't a country. The books are set in England. - One of the questions says 'what time of animal is it?', which should be 'what type of animal is it?' Other than that, a nice little quiz!

I thought Hogwarts was actually supposed to be in Scotland.

It is.

it is supposed to be in the north - non specific!

Pottermore states that it's in Scotland

The United Kingdom is a country, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland are areas within the country.

Nope you're wrong. England, Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland are all countries in their own right.. the UK is the collection.. it's like saying the West Indies is one country when really it's a collection of countries

If we are getting all technical England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales are all countries in Britain, however The republic of Ireland broke away from the United Kingdom leaving Northern Island still a part of the UK. We are not America where we have States bigger than some countries, we have counties within the 4 countries. So please get your Geography right before you embarrass yourself anymore.

Oh yes it is! The UK is a country and don't you forget it. Why do people post comments that make them sound like idiots? Geez.

The UK is a sovereign state consisting of four separate countries, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

What "time" of animal? You really didn't catch that?

Peeves isn't technically a ghost. He's a poltergeist. The author takes care to point that out in the book so... Also, I agree with everyone about the "unlock" thing.

I'm glad to see someone get that right about peeves!! :D

I feel bad now that I put McGonagol since Dumbledore died and all.. Bummer. Maybe should say 'before the Half-Blood Prince'?

In that case, technically, Snape took over as headmaster after Dumbledore died.

A) Spoiler Alert much? B) McGonnagal was temporarily headmistress, between Dumbledore dying and the beginning of the next school year, as evidenced by Dumbledore's office accepting her.

got all but 2... easy ones too ;)

Quite easy for me, but still enjoyable. Don't change it to Christmas Ball, it is only ever called the Yule Ball in the books or the movie. Also, I think the picture up top looks like Selena Gomez, does anyone agree?

I agree about the Selena Gomez thing!

wrote hogwartz instead of hogwarts lol

I think I'm one of the only people who never bought into this Harry Potter crap...

Yours must be a sad and empty existence. :(

@Mithol - I agree with you 100%, I feel a so sad for anyone that won't give this series a chance. It truly is amazing.

Nice and fun quiz. I got 30/30

For what type of animal Hedwig is I put snowy owl like 10 times and I couldn't figure out what it was. Please accept snowy owl because that's what type of animal Hedwig is, and is much more specific than just "owl".

If you guys are gonna get all picky, Snape should be listed as "before the sixth". Since Slughorn took over Potions Master.

But Slughorn was not despised by many.

It seems a bit odd that Cedric isn't accepted for Cedric Diggory.

Enjoyed this quiz maybe because I knew the answers! Nice to have one like that every so often. Thanks

Would be helpful if the misspelling "Askaban" and accepted for Azkaban

Wouldn't say that knowing the name of the ball they hold in one small section of the movie is basic but good quiz.

Too easy. 30/30

A couple things: -The colors for Ravenclaw are blue AND bronze -Dumbledore is headmaster in part of the 5th, 6th, and 7th books -Snape taught D.A.D.A. in the 7th, and Slughorn taught Potions then -The basilisk never killed any in the 2nd year -Hogwarts is located in Scotland (Thanks, Pottermore) Sorry, I'm OCD

I had to laugh at reading these comments. The first one I saw was "Who is Peeves?" I realize not everyone has read the books. It made me laugh nonetheless. And please do not change Yule Ball to accept Christmas Ball as an answer. It was NEVER called the Christmas Ball. I loved this quiz.

too easy

28/30

Hey,Yule Ball is the party for friendship in the triwizard tournament!

But it is also on christmas eve... ;)

I got all but one and still only outscored 62% of the quiz takers. This one gets 100% a lot I guess.
