Seems like there's a better way to clue what's being asked for. Great Britain, British Isles, and Europe all seem to be perfectly reasonable answers to the question.
"In the Harry Potter universe, what is the name for the people who can't use magic?"
Because of the new movies I would suggest either accepting "Nomag" as well, or changing the question itself to "In the Harry Potter universe, what is the British name for the people who can't use magic?"
I immediately thought of muggles but agreed, squib is also correct. A more difficult question with squib as the only correct answer might be, "In the HP universe, what does one call a wizard-born Muggle?"
The answer to the Harry Potter question is NOT muggle. Hermione was a muggle, but she could do magic. Muggles are simply normal people from "non-magical" families. The correct answer is squib. Squibs are unable to do magic.
A squib is someone who has magical parents but can't use magic themselves. A muggle-born, or "mudblood" as some people call them, is the opposite; a magical child born to non-magical parents.
That being said, I do think the question could be phrased a little bit better.
Wow 100%. I never get 100%. Got the Cezanne question right in the waning seconds. Great quiz, even though some language descriptivists could argue with you on the grammar question.
they do appear regularly and I never get them right as harry Potter just isn't my thing. I did watch half of the first movie last year as it is a cultural phenomenon but I couldn't persevere.

However why is it not general knowledge?
