Even Hermione Herself Couldn't Pass This Harry Potter Quiz

Harry Potter fans are hardcore. They care. They know their stuff. But this Harry Potter quiz is tough; even Hermione herself - the brainiac of the film and book series - would probably struggle with it. But we believe in everyone here (even boring old Muggles!).

So get ready. Think back to the books and all of their intricate details. Picture the movies and all their elaborate scenes. And muster up some magic in order to be able to answer some questions about one of the greatest stories of all time!

Now, as mentioned, fans of the wizarding world are legit, so some people here may find some of these questions sort of easy, but we hope everyone is challenged a bit. That is half the fun! For instance, some fans may not really recall when Harry Potter was born, but others may celebrate his birthday every year. Some people may know the names of even super minor characters, but others just feel confident about naming main characters. Either way, there is something here for everyone.

So get ready to show off knowledge about all things Harry Potter, and then feel free to go read the books and/or watch the movies at the end...We all will have earned it!

Question 1

When is Harry Potter’s birthday?

Let’s start off with Harry Potter’s birthday, since each book shows him in a new year. Fans grew up with The Boy Who Lived, and his birthday was a big deal in some chapters and scenes. Plus, as mentioned, it is a big deal to some fans who are out there, too, who celebrate this day each and every year! So think back through the stories and through some dates, then tell us: On what day was Mr. Harry Potter born?

Question 2

Where did Harry live?

When it comes to where Harry lived, the obvious answer here may seem like it is Hogwarts, since school felt like home to Harry, but we mean before that. After his parents passed away, he was forced to live with his aunt, uncle and cousin in a certain place in England. Most fans know his address was 4 Privet Drive, and we can picture the rows of houses clearly in our minds. But in what place was this Privet Drive?

Question 3

What did Harry’s birthday cake say?

Speaking of his birthday and the times it was made prominent to fans...Hagrid showed up, as we know, to tell Harry that he was a wizard and that he was to go to Hogwarts. When he did show up, it was Harry’s birthday, and sweet, sweet Hagrid had made him a birthday cake; the cake was a little squished and a little quirky - but it is the thought that counts! What did this squished cake for Harry Potter say?

Question 4

What is Harry’s middle name?

Harry Potter is a name that is known around the world by many, but not everyone is familiar with this guy’s middle name (but, super fans...of course we know)! So look through the four options that are provided. Try to remember the books and the movies. Then tell us, once and for all, what middle name belongs to this magical man: Is it James, Black, Randolph or is there not even a middle name that belongs to Mr. Harry Potter?

Question 5

What role did Hagrid NOT have at Hogwarts?

After Hagrid picked up Harry, he became an integral part of Harry’s life...of this story...and of our lives! Thankfully, he was at Hogwarts, so he and his crazy creatures were around often. And speaking of creatures...Let’s talk about his roles at Hogwarts. He had a few, but down below, one of the options is NOT a role Hagrid had there. Which one is it? Pick it out from down below, and then move right along in this magical quiz here!

Question 6

Where did Harry first encounter Ron?

These books and these movies are all quite full of some amazing characters and some inspiring relationships, as well. Of course, one of the greatest relationships in this story is the friendship between Harry and Ron...but how did it all begin? They had their ups and downs, they went on numerous adventures together, and they ended up as brothers-in-law. And down below, we need everyone to decide the first time the two encountered each other. Where was it at exactly?

Question 7

What is Hermione’s first line in the movies?

And, of course, we can’t forget about the first time Ms. Hermione Granger popped up! At first, Harry and Ron actually found this girl pretty annoying, since she was a bit of a know-it-all. But they would have been lost without her knowledge. Out of all the knowledge and matter-of-fact lines she gave, which was the first heard in the movies? Note: The line was a bit different in the books and the in the films...but the general idea was the same!

Question 8

What is the correct order of the Defence Against The Dark Arts professors?

As we know, there was one position at Hogwarts that saw quite a bit of action; the Defence Against The Dark Arts class was always getting a new professor. Things always went...a bit off track, to say the least, which meant a new instructor had to be called in each year at school. Below, we have listed out these Defence Against The Dark Arts teachers, so tell us the correct order. Who showed up when? Who was first? Who was last?

Question 9

What spell does Gilderoy Lockhart use on the pixies?

Speaking of Lockhart...Some or all of us may remember that some pixies get loose in his classroom - some freshly caught pixies that he thought would be perfect for a practical lesson. These pesky creatures love the freedom, though...a bit too much! He tries to say a spell to control them, after they go crazy, but Hermione has to step in and use a freezing charm to save the day. What spell did he attempt to use in this moment?

Question 10

What were the Marauder's nicknames?

Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black and James Potter were friends at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and these friends got into trouble quite a bit. Therefore, they created the Marauder's Map, which helped their little group sneak around; it also helped future generations sneak around, obviously, since Harry found it quite useful while he was at Hogwarts. But the real point and question here is this: What were their nicknames within this group - the four Marauders at Hogwarts?

Question 11

Who put Harry’s name in the Goblet of Fire?

During his fourth year, Harry was involved in the Triwizard Tournament, after his name ended up in the Goblet of Fire. It caused quite the commotion, since his name did not belong in there...but the Goblet spoke, so to speak, so he had to participate in this exciting and dangerous event. But who put his name into the Goblet of Fire in the first place, entering him into the Tournament? Choose a name from the four that are listed down below.

Question 12

What happened to the winnings of the Triwizard Tournament?

Harry was the official winner of the Triwizard Tournament, but it was accounted that Harry and Cedric won together. However, due to the circumstances, Harry was awarded the thousand Galleons prize money; he tried to give it to Cedric's parents, but they refused it. So, he actually ended up giving it away to someone else...someone who used it for something very interesting. Look through the answers that are listed here, and then guess what really happened to the winnings of this event!

Question 13

What was Mad Eye Moody’s background?

Also in the fourth book and in the fourth movie, Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody was introduced. He was next up to serve as the Defence Against The Dark Arts professor, but before teaching at Hogwarts, he was doing something else...but what? Did he used to serve as Headmaster? Was he a famous auror? Did he used to be Minister for Magic? Or was he a famous quidditch player? It was one of those, so select the correct answer here and now!

Question 14

What was NOT one of Dolores Umbridge’s rules?

Another character that was introduced to the world was Dolores Umbridge; she was another Defence Against the Dark Arts professor and even became Headmistress of Hogwarts, after Professor Albus Dumbledore had been fired. While at Hogwarts, she enforced some pretty strict rules, which all had some pretty crazy punishments (and by crazy...that means scary, too!). Down below, there are four different rules, but one of them was NOT one of her rules. Which one is made up out of nowhere?

Question 15

Who started Dumbledore’s Army?

Harry Potter's story is one that is thrilling, funny, heartwarming and, at times, frightening. There was a dark presence out there, and good witches and wizards had to be ready for anything. Therefore, Dumbledore's Army was started. This was a secret club, made up of students at Hogwarts, that met in order to learn proper defense mechanisms (since the Defence Against the Dark Arts situation was always up in the air at this magical school!). Who started this organization, though?

Question 16

Who were Dumbledore’s siblings?

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore was a big deal within this universe, but some other members of the Dumbledore family popped up along the way. Down below, there are some listed out, and it needs to be decided and/or remembered: Who were Albus Dumbledore’s siblings? Think about how many he had (One? Two? Seven? 15?), imagine scenes and parts of the movies and the books (Picture them all!), then select an answer from down below (And good luck to all!).

Question 17

What was NOT a known password to Dumbledore’s office?

Let’s continue on with this conversation about Mr. Albus Dumbledore. Specifically, let’s talk about his love for sweets! Professor Dumbledore was an eccentric man, and one of his sparkling traits was that he had a sweet tooth. And that passion for desserts and candies became part of his office even; the password to get into this place seemed to always be the name of a sweet treat! Which was NOT a known password used to get into this office, though?

Question 18

What creature was NOT seen in these movies?

One of the coolest parts of this magical universe was seeing all the creatures: flying ones, furry ones, big ones, littles ones, see-through ones, soul-sucking ones...There are a lot of neat beings in the books and movies! But down below, there is one creature listed that was NOT seen in these movies. Look through the answer choices, and - once again - picture different scenes from different movies. Then decide which creature should be selected as the answer on this question.

Question 19

What was NOT a Horcrux?

A Horcrux is an object where part of a soul can be hidden, in order to obtain immortality. Dark witches and wizards could create Horcruxes after taking the lives of someone, and He Who Must Not Be Named certainly committed this awful act a few times. In fact, there were seven Horcruxes out there, and Harry and his friends had to find and destroy all of them. It was not an easy task, by any means, but it had to be done, in order to stop Voldemort. Which was NOT a Horcrux, though?

Question 20

Who said the protecting spell during the Battle of Hogwarts?

The Battle of Hogwarts may have been inevitable, since this entire story is one of good versus evil...but that doesn’t make that day any less troubling. It was a lot to handle, to say the very least. Lives were lost, but everyone fought fiercely and bravely. And before it all started, a spell was said that helped Hogwarts prepare for the battle, in order to stay as safe as possible through the whole entire thing. Who said this spell aloud?

Question 21

What is Hermione’s middle name?

Alright, let’s talk about some specific characters now. They are, after all, one of the best parts of all of this! Hermione is a main character within these books and in these films. She is also a friend. A thinker. A wife. A mother. A daughter. And her parents, two Muggles who were dentists, gave her a certain middle name - one that is not heard often but that will definitely be known by superfans out there. What is Hermione’s middle name?

Question 22

What is Luna’s patronus?

Another great female character is Luna Lovegood. She is quirky, helpful and a true friend. She is also able to produce a patronus, which is a form of advanced magic that acts a shield between whoever is casting it and dementors. Each patronus is unique and special, taking on a certain form. When Luna performs this spell, what animal appears and comes out of her wand? Choose the correct one out of the four animals that are listed down below!

Question 23

What did Ron name his children?

As fans know, Ron and Hermione end up together, and at the end of the last book and the last movie, time jumps forward. We see this couple taking their kids to Platform 9 ¾, so that they can climb aboard the Hogwarts Express, following in Ron’s and Hermione’s footsteps. The big question here, though is this: What are the names of Ron’s offspring? First and foremost, figure out how many Granger-Weasley kids there are, then decide on their names!

Question 24

What did Ginny name her children?

Ron’s sister, Ginny, ends up marrying Harry Potter himself, and they two produce offspring! Their kids also go to Platform 9 ¾ and get on the Hogwarts Express and attend Hogwarts. But, of course, there is just one thing to discuss here, in all of this: What were the names of Ginny’s kids? Her and Harry had a couple, a few, and options for their names are down below, as answer choices on this question. Choose the right ones!

Question 25

Who played in the championship game of the Quidditch World Cup in 1994?

Quidditch is the main sport in this magical world, and in 1994, these magical characters attended the World Cup. Of course, things went south somewhere along the way, but this part of the story started off as a fun one, showing a large-scale version of this game and that super awesome and super big tent Harry and his friends stayed in while there! But what two teams and countries were actually playing in the championship game of this World Cup?

Question 26

Whose spell backfired on them?

Imagine this: It is Halloween. The main characters and their peers are in Charms class - and on Halloween morning, too! They are practicing the Levitation Charm on some feathers. Some are getting it down easily. Others are struggling a bit. And one student, in particular, manages to set fire to his/her feather. The spell backfired, and instead of seeing levitation, this kid was charred and smoking! Which student had the levitation charm backfire on them in this magical story?

Question 27

Who was NOT a professor at Hogwarts?

Over the years, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry saw many, many professorts. And down below, there are four names listed. Three of the names are names of actual professors - people who really did teach at Hogwarts. Then, there is one name who is not a teacher or instructor. This Harry Potter quiz is almost over, and then everyone here will know just how well they know this story. But answer these last few questions first - like this one here!

Question 28

What were the names of the wizards/witches who inspired the Houses?

Speaking of Hogwarts and the incredible witches and wizards who made it what it was...There were four notable people who ended up being the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. And the houses at Hogwarts are actually named for these people! But what were their names? Do we remember? Do we definitely know? Are we clueless about it? Look through the answer choices, then select the best choice for the four who inspired the houses at Hogwarts!

Question 29

In what house was Cho Chang?

Remember - There are only a couple of questions left, meaning there are only a few more chances to show off some knowledge! Let’s talk about some more of the characters from these books and movies in details...like Cho Chang. Harry developed a crush on her and even asked her to the Yule Ball, but none of that worked out (for the best, we suppose). In what house was Cho, though? Was she a Gryffindor? A Slytherin? A Ravenclaw? A Hufflepuff?

Question 30

In what house was Lavender Brown?

Another girl that went to school with Harry, Ron and Hermione was Lavender Brown. And while she is not a main character...and while she was not even mentioned too many times in the books and especially not in the films...she is important to the story. All the characters are! Specifically, we want to know one thing about Ms. Lavender Brown: What was her house? Decide if she was a Gryffindor, a Slytherin, a Ravenclaw or a Hufflepuff, then pick that down below!

Question 31

What was Lily Potter’s maiden name?

Once upon a time, Lily and James met and fell in love. They had one child - a son named Harry. He grew up to have kids, too, and he may or may not have honored his parents by throwing some of their names into the names of his children! And speaking of their names...What was Lily’s maiden name? When she got married, she took James’ last name, becoming a Potter, but before that...We need to know that name now!

Question 32

What were James Potter’s parents’ names?

Before James and Lily had a child, they were children themselves, and James, a pure-blood wizard, was the only son born to two people...two people we need to name right here and right now! Down below, in the answer choices, there are some names listed out. Some are sort of strange, some may sound familiar, and only one set is the right answer to this question - so pick it, and then move on to the final few quiz questions.

Question 33

What’s the code to enter the Ministry of Magic?

As we know, there is a secret visitor’s entrance to the Ministry of Magic, and it is - of course - located inside an abandoned red telephone booth in London. To get into it and truly enter the Ministry, a code must be entered. What is the code? Do we remember? Do we know it by heart? Are we completely stumped and feeling like we need to re-read and re-watch all of these? Hint: The numerical code actually spells out a special word on the keypad.

Question 34

How many staircases are in Hogwarts?

Hogwarts is magical, literally, and it is full of secrets and wonder. Imagine being a new, young, small student there and having to perform normal duties of a student - find classes, learn names, study hard and so on...but imagine also having to deal with over-the-top and out-of-the-ordinary things: talking photos, moving staircases, ghosts, spells and more and more! And speaking of the staircases, how many are there in good ol’ Hogwarts, exactly, when it comes right down to it?

Question 35

What is Nearly Headless Nick’s full name?

We are going to end this Harry Potter quiz with a question about one of the most interesting characters in the books and in the films - Nearly Headless Nick! He is a ghost that wanders about Hogwarts, and at first, students may be a little skeptical of him, since he is a ghost and can nearly pull his whole head off, but then, they come to really enjoy the guy! The question here, though, is this: What is his full name?
