Everything within the world of Harry Potter is magical, but one of the coolest aspects of the wizarding world is the Yule Ball. This beautiful, winter-themed party takes place during the Triwizard Tournament, when the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, the Durmstrang Institute and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry come together and have students compete in different challenging tasks. In order to take a break from all of the competitiveness, though, this dance/meal is held, so that all of the students can mix and mingle, get dressed up and enjoy a fun night together. Everyone looks so nice, the setting looks like a winter wonderland, a band keeps the party going...It is perfect!
Now, pretend that you existed in this world, that you were a witch or wizard who was able to attend this wonderful ball. What would you wear? How would you feel? What activities would you enjoy the most? How would your night end? Would you be wishing that it had ended sooner? And - the most important question of all - which character from the HP world would be your date?
Take this quiz to find out which one you would go with to the Yule Ball!
How do you feel about Veela?
Veela are magical forms of humans that are young and beautiful - like the girls who attend Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. They dance about and pretty much solely exist to magically seduce people, and it definitely works, since people do crazy things for their love and attention. How do you feel about them?
How do you interact with new people?
Speaking of first impressions...How do you interact with people when you are meeting new people: Are you rude and standoffish? Are you nice and polite? Do you love meeting new people, talking to them and learning new things? Or are you pretty silent, an introvert and more of an observer?
How would others describe you?
You are surrounded by people (in real life and in this imaginary world of Harry Potter), and people have thoughts about you. You make first impressions. You do things, say things, wear things and don’t do things that say a lot about you. So what do you think people think of you?
Who would you take out of these characters?
And if you had to take one of these characters listed here to the Yule Ball, which one would you take, of the four: Someone who excels in Quidditch? Someone you have been crushing on? Someone who randomly swept you off your feet? Or someone you just got stuck with?
How would your night end?
After you show off your snazzy outfit to everyone, pig out on special food, take lots of pics with your friends and dance until you are about to fall over, you end the night and leave the Yule Ball. How do you think your big night would end up finishing up?
Would you like to be in the Triwizard Tournament?
The Triwizard Tournament puts three of the largest wizarding schools up against each other in a series of challenging - and sometimes dangerous - tasks. In the end, one champion is declared, from one of the schools...someone with honour and glory and someone who wins the Triwizard Cup and some money. Would you be in it?
Where would you like to work?
The Wizarding World, like the real world, offers a wide range of jobs and careers. People can work in finance. They can return to Hogwarts to teach. They can use their knowledge at the Ministry of Magic. Or they could use their powers elsewhere. What career path would you choose, of these four?
How do you feel about children?
You may be a child yourself, you may be planning for your future children right now, or you could already be a parent currently. Therefore, how would you summarize your thoughts on kids: wanting some, still unsure about it all, ready for it but not yet or a nice overall concept?
How do you imagine being asked to the ball?
Now, this quiz is all about the Yule Ball - the fancy dance that happens whenever the Triwizard Tournament takes place. Full of dates, dressed-up guests, food and music, it is always a good time. When figuring out who to go with to this ball, how do you imagine being asked?
How would perform in battles?
Within this magical world, there is sometimes darkness and scariness, as well as big, important battles that involve life-or-death fights that could change everything. They are terribly frightening, but at times, they are necessary. If you were fighting in these battles, how do you think you would be as a fighter?
How do you imagine your wedding day?
You already thought about how you feel about kids, so now think about your wedding day: Do you imagine a big day with all of your favorite people? Have you not really thought about it? Do you think you’ll end up with your best friend? Or will you let your partner have what he/she wants?
What would you wear?
And while you are getting ready, what are you slipping into - What is the outfit that you will wear to impress? Something flowy and shimmery? Something basic and classic? A one-of-a-kind showstopper? Whatever the preferred thing to wear to this type of thing is? Pick one of these four outfits.
How would you arrive?
Okay, you are finally dressed, looking amazing and ready to go. You meet up with your date, and now, you two must enter the beautifully decorated ballroom and pretty much present yourselves to a huge crowd of people that is waiting and watching. What kind of entrance can be expected from you?
Who is your least favorite character?
Just as there are a lot of wonderful, amazing, brilliant, kind, powerful witches and wizards, there are also magical people who are rude, evil, hateful, dumb and just all-around awful. Of the four not-so-nice characters listed here, which one is your least favorite and the one you may wish would just disappear?
What is most important to you?
There are so many wonderful things out there - things we love, adore, crave, treasure, fight for, brag about, surround ourselves with, think about and put above everything else, no matter what. What is that for you? Which of the four wonderful things that are listed here is the most important to you?
What would be your best class at Hogwarts?
Now, remember that in this magical world, this made-up world that exists for entertainment and for this quiz, you may possibly attend Hogwarts. In that case, you would take classes - the ones seen in the movies and read about in the books. Which one do you think you would excel in?
What would you win an award for?
And, going further along the lines of your knowledge and your success, pretend that you won an award that was related to all of this and that seemed quite suitable for you. Why would you win the award, and in what field would you be honored, recognized, appreciated and then awarded?
What is your favorite school?
Again, this quiz is about the Yule Ball, which is for students from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic (the beautiful Veela girls), Durmstrang Institute (with its burly men) and Hogwarts (made up of Hufflepuffs, Slytherins, Ravenclaws and Gryffindors). Which house or school - of the four that are listed here - is your favorite, though?
What would your patronus be?
In the magical world, witches and wizards can cast the spell Expecto Patronum, an advanced piece of magic that produces a patronus, which is a shield of hope and happiness that protects you from Dementors. What form would your hope and happiness take whenever you were finally able to cast the spell?
What extracurricular activity would you join?
Schools offer tons of different activities, so that students can compete, learn and excel within different fields - and wizarding schools offer all of that and more! Out of the four extracurricular activities that are listed here, which one could you most see yourself getting involved with and then truly enjoying?
How would you be in class?
While you were attending all of these classes and enjoying all of this time at Hogwarts, you would sit through various classes, where you would either be engaged, be doodling, be skipping, be bored or be preoccupied with something even better. How do you imagine you would be in these classes?
Who is your favorite powerful witch/wizard?
There are so many powerful and talented witches and wizards within this world - men and women who know everything, who are not afraid of anything and who inspire the younger generations. Of the four older and/or more powerful witches and wizards that are listed here here, which one is your favorite?
What is your favorite Deathly Hallow?
The Deathly Hallows are three objects that, when possesed, can make someone become the Master of Death. There is the Elder Wand (the most powerful wand ever), the Resurrection Stone (which can bring back those who are dead) and the Cloak of Invisibility (which makes people invisible). Which is your favorite object?
Which weapon do you think would be most useful?
Witches and wizards can, of course, use spells to fight and to protect themselves, but there are other types of useful devices - things that could distract people, repel people, change things and be more powerful than imaginable. Of these four different weapons, which do you think would be the most useful?
How would you react to a bully?
Unfortunately, school settings sometimes include bullies - mean kids who apparently have nothing better to do than to wreak havoc and tear others down. There are numerous ways (good and not so good) to deal with bullies, but which of these four responses sounds most like how you would handle the situation?
How would you get injured?
Pretend that while you were going about your day - perhaps even when you were preparing and getting ready for the Yule Ball - you accidently ended up getting hurt. What happened? Were you slapped? Was it during a heroic move? Or did it happen during something even more crazy and adventurous and scary?
What would Rita Skeeter write about you?
While writing for the Daily Prophet, journalist (if she can really be called that) Rita Skeeter loved to twist stories, spread rumors, misreport happenings and flat-out lie, which was wrong and harmful and frowned upon, to say the least. Albus Dumbledore even called her writing "enchantingly nasty", so what enchantingly nasty thing would she write about you?
Who would you get ready with for the Yule Ball?
When the night of the Yule Ball finally rolled around, half of the fun would be getting ready; you would gather with your friends, high up in a tower somewhere, enjoying some sweets and treats while getting all dolled up. But who would you share this momentous occasion with, to make it super awesome?
What would you do for the longest?
And out of all the activities available to all the attendees of the Yule Ball, which one would you do for the longest amount of time? Which fun thing would keep you captivated the longest and the most, making you wish this magical, historical and romantic night would never, ever end?
Who would you want to perform at the Yule Ball?
As mentioned, a band would help make the Yule Ball super festive, and in this fictional story, where you attend a wizarding school and you attend the Yule Ball, you get to pick a band or artist to perform at the dance! Which of these four bands/artists do you choose?
Which character is the most attractive?
The characters within the world of Harry Potter are talented, brave, inspiring, smart, funny, amazing...and cute! Out of the four characters who are listed here, though (three Weasley children, along with another student from Hogwarts), which one do you find the most attractive, overall, if you had to pick?
What would you have for dinner?
At some point amidst all of the fun, you and your date are going to have to grab a bite to eat. There are tables of hors d'oeuvre and sweet treats, as well as plates brought to the table, if you want a full meal. What will you be eating that night?
Would you go again?
Ah, man...The night is over - just like that. It is time to gather yourself, bid farewell to your date and head back to your room. Do you keep imaging it all, though, and replaying the best moments, anxiously awaiting the next Yule Ball? Or have you had your fun and are now moving on?
Who would you most like to go with?
This is the last question - the last way to gather information about you, your time at Hogwarts, your opinions/thoughts/likes and your dream night at a Yule Ball. If you were really going, and you had to take one of these four characters, which one would you end up choosing?
What word best describes your night?
You got dressed up for the ball. You had a date to the ball. You enjoyed either dancing or food or hanging out with friends or all of it. Add up all of the things you did at the ball and combine that with your feelings towards the night; which word best describes it all?
