How Well Do You Remember Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince?

358 Shares

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince showed us that all is not well in the magical world. Wizards were starting to turn on each other because of the war that was brewing. People couldn’t be trusted and it seemed as though everyone had a definite side they were on with this upcoming battle. Whether you were siding with the Order of the Phoenix or the Death Eaters, Hogwarts was an especially scary place to be at during this time. The Death Eaters, however, took the first hit to get the war started by taking out the ever so important Dumbledore to the surprise and shock of the school.

This installment of the Harry Potter series shows our favorite characters more grown up and taking on responsibilities that past installments didn’t have. Harry is faced with dark forces and must help Dumbledore retrieve and destroy Tom Riddle’s Horcruxes, which is a big and dangerous responsibility. Do you remember all of the details from Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince? Can you name the smaller details that others might have missed while diving into this installment? Prove that you are the ultimate Harry Potter fan by taking our magical quiz!

Question 1

Which of the following was not a spell invented by the Half-Blood Prince?

The Half Blood Prince was a mysterious person indeed as he was known by a textbook by Harry Potter. It seemed like he had all the answers for every thing Harry was looking for when it came to his schoolwork. Even Hermione was jealous of the skills Harry had because of the coveted textbook Harry was given. This half Blood Prince was even writing his own spells because his level of expertise was just so great. But which spell wasn’t invented by the Half Blood Prince?

Question 2

What does Harry slip into Ron’s pumpkin juice the morning of their Quidditch match?

Ron is a great Quidditch player, but his confidence isn’t the highest on the team. Gryffindor had a huge game against Ravenclaw for the Quidditch Cup and Ron wasn’t feeling like his normal, cheery self that day, so Harry decided to help him out a little bit with some extra magic. He spiked Ron’s glass with something a little extra so he would perform a little better in the game and get his confidence up more. What was it that Harry put in his glass?

Question 3

In which subject does Harry receive an "Outstanding" O.W.L?

Harry might not be able to stand up to Hermione when it comes to grades, but there is one subject that he runs circles around her. It’s one of those things that Harry doesn’t even really need to study because he just gets it. Hermione needs to read all the books endlessly to keep up with him. I guess everyone has their talents and this is definitely Harry. It was no surprise that Harry did so well on his O.W.L exams in all honesty.

Question 4

Which was not one of Wilkie Twycross's "Three D's of Apparition"?

According to Wilkie Twycross, there are three important factors to an apparition. What makes it easier (or harder) is that they all begin with the letter “D.” For the students, this might not be the most riveting topic to learn about, but since they have ghosts hovering all around their school, it might be something somewhat useful to know, am I right? But what were these three catchy, “D” words that were what Wilkie Twycross considered the “Three D’s of Apparition?”

Question 5

Who's the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher this year?

Oh boy, that Defense Against the Dark Arts class is a tough one for the professors that walk through its revolving doors it seems. No matter what the school does, it doesn’t seem like they can keep anyone employed very long in this role. What is the deal with this class? Is it Voldemort, is it the Death Eaters, or is the job just that difficult to do? Well, in Harry’s sixth year of schooling, there was, yet again, another Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Who was it?

Question 6

When was Tom Riddle born?

Tom Riddle, aka Voldemort himself, was also once a child too. It’s hard to believe that someone so sinister could have actually been young and naïve at one point. However, Tom always seemed to have an evil side to him, even when he was young. Horcruxes and dark magic always fascinated him although he was a good student at Hogwarts. Tom was someone that Dumbledore believed could becomes a great wizard one day, but instead he became the most terrifying one anyone has ever heard of. But when was his birthday?

Question 7

Which Death Eater casts the Dark Mark above the Astronomy Tower?

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was when all the darkness really hit the fan. The Dark Mark was at its most powerful in this adventure, and it was vibrantly displayed right above the Astronomy Tower for all to see at one point. If that isn’t enough to scare anyone completely silly, I don’t know what is. Well, this mark definitely left its mark for lack of better words because it was only the beginning of what was to come, but who cast it to begin with?

Question 8

Which house's table is furthest away from the Entrance Hall?

The Entrance Hall is where everyone would gather for things like announcements and the awards for House Cup. Everyone eats in harmony amongst each other despite their differences…kind of. This spot is kind of a big deal at Hogwarts because it is a common area. Everyone has their place in this dinning area and it seems as though the houses still tend to keep to themselves even though it’s an area that allows for the houses to mingle, but which house is seated furthest from the Entrance Hall?

Question 9

What’s the name of Katie Bell’s friend who was with her when she touched the cursed necklace?

Katie Bell didn’t have the best luck when it came to her safety. The poor girl was just walking with her friend when she stumbled on a debilitating curse. It doesn’t seem like anyone is safe in the magical world during this time with all of the Dark Marks and Horcruxes around. At least she ended up being okay at the end of the day, but it could have been so much worse. While Katie Bell was walking innocently by, what was the name of her friend she was walking with?

Question 10

What was the final score of Gryffindor's match against Ravenclaw for the Quidditch Cup?

Because of Ron’s newfound confidence along with the awesome game played by the rest of his teammates, including Harry, the victory against Ravenclaw for the Quidditch Cup was won by Gryffindor. It was a tough game that was played well by both sides, but the truly deserving team ended up pulling it out in the end. Although you almost wish that both teams could have pulled a victory in this game, what was the final score that Gryffindor ended up winning the game with?

Question 11

Who was the Half Blood Prince?

The Half Blood Prince was someone that almost seemed super human because of his abilities in his academics. Harry had absolutely no idea who this person was, and he had absolutely no idea that it was someone that was actually so close to him. Harry excels in his studies while he follows the scribbles of the Half Blood Prince, but he doesn’t seem to care as much while the grades and attention are rolling in. He had no idea that the Half Blood Prince was actually such an important person. Who was he?

Question 12

Who says, "Age is foolish and forgetful when it underestimates youth?"

These seem like wise words spoken by someone that’s been around the block a few times. This person is definitely someone that has respect for everyone despite their age. Just because you’re young doesn’t mean that you should be underestimated according to this person. More people should probably listen, since people like Harry Potter are making all the difference at Hogwarts at the time. The adults of the magical world should pay more attention and not blow off the younger generation during this critical time.

Question 13

Who accidentally eats chocolate cauldrons laced with a love potion?

Oh the hormones at Hogwarts. Turns out these special chocolates were actually for Harry, but someone else got a hold of them by accident instead. This was a strong potion because it took a little time for the person who ate them to snap out of it. Isn’t it kind of silly that people actually put love spells on each other in the magical world? But I guess it makes sense since they have the resources for it. Who accidentally ate the chocolates with the love potion?

Question 14

Who was obsessively in love with Ron?

Speaking of love, there was someone that was absolutely enamored with Ron, and he did end up dating her for a little while. Sadly this young relationship didn’t work out too long because Ron was calling out for another girl while he was in the school’s hospital. Talk about awkward, am I right? However, it was for the best because Ron really did not return her obsessive feelings anyway, but who was it that way hopelessly in love with Ron?

Question 15

What does Professor Slughorn teach?

Professor Slughorn was a new professor for Hogwarts this year and he definitely likes to play favorites among his students. He actually only invited a small group of students to his private Christmas party he held in his office. The students also seem to have a pretty hard time in his class—well, that is except for Harry that appears to breeze through it with help from the Half Blood Prince (and the other student’s dismay). What subject did Professor Slughorn teach?

Question 16

Which textbook does Harry discover that belonged to the Half Blood Prince?

Well, the Half Blood Prince had to be introduced to Harry somehow, and it just so happened that Harry “met” him through a textbook. His flawless instructions within the textbook Harry was given seem to carry him through his classes to the point where Harry seems to get somewhat obsessed with the text itself. Not to mention that these scribbles seem to be making all of the other students jealous of Harry’s abilities. What subject was this textbook in though?

Question 17

Which horcrux do Harry and Dumbledore believe they have found?

Dumbledore and Harry go on the dangerous journey to find a Horcrux they think they’ve located, but the journey definitely proves to have its own set of snags along the way. Not only did poor Dumbledore have to drink a potion that caused him unbearable pain, but Harry can’t do anything to help him in the meantime. It was a hard situation that both of them walk away safely but they really lucked out with all of the looming peril in this situation. What Horcrux did they think they found?

Question 18

Who is ordered to kill Dumbledore?

Dumbledore is a big deal in the magical world—he’s almost like a celebrity in his own right. This makes him the target to the Death Eaters who are more than willing to kill him as quickly as possible. In fact, they actually have a plan they put together as to who is supposed to kill him and everything. Little do they know that Dumbledore is on to the plot the entire time, but who did they assign to kill Dumbledore?

Question 19

Who told Tom Riddle how to make horcruxs?

Well, someone had to put the horrible idea of Horcruxes into Tom Riddle’s head, how else would he know how to create them? Well, the person that told Tom how to create Horcruxes ends up being incredibly embarrassed of the situation, but he had no idea that this seemingly innocent kid would turn out to be Lord Voldemort who is the ultimate evil. This person even went so far as to change his memory so people wouldn’t see how Tom was told how to create a Horcrux.

Question 20

What was the name of the device Harry uses to view Professor Slughorn's memories?

Of course, the magical world has a device where you can view memories. The question is, how do you know if they are real memories or not since witches and wizards have the ability to change their memories as to how they would like them to be seen. Harry views a very detrimental memory including how Tom Riddle learned how to create Horcruxes, but the original memory wasn’t the real memory. What was the name of the device that allowed him to see these memories?

Question 21

Who was not invited to Professor Slughorn's Christmas party?

Professor Slughorn is known to play favorites and his little band of students he invites to his Christmas party proves that. Not everyone is part of this small list, and it seems that only the students that are doing really well in his class are part of his exclusive little club. It seems kind of odd that a teacher would want to get that close to his students, but what do I know. Out of all the students that were invited to Professor Slughorn’s Christmas party, which of the following didn’t make the list?

Question 22

Who is Dumbledore’s deputy headmistress?

As much as he would want to, Dumbledore can’t do it all when it comes to his job at Hogwarts. He needs people to help him with the higher level business that goes on around the campus. Asking someone he can trust to be the deputy headmistress is a great start since a lot falls onto this person’s shoulders, and the person he assigned doesn’t disappoint since she is a reliable candidate. Who does he have as deputy headmistress at Hogwarts?

Question 23

How old must a student be to take an Apparition test?

The Apparition test is no joke and the younger kids aren’t ready to take this pretty in depth exam. There is a lot involved when it comes to Apparitions and the students at Hogwarts have to have the proper training in order to be able to take the exam at their fullest ability. There is also an age limit that was put on the exam, meaning you have to be over a certain age to take it. How old must you be in order to take an Apparition test?

Question 24

Which House Elf does Harry inherent from Sirius Black?

Unfortunately, Harry and Sirius Black won’t be able to be the happy family they planned to be when Sirius was alive. Because Bellatrix Lestrange killed him, they are as far apart as Harry and his parents now, leaving Harry without a family to care for him yet again. It just seems all around unfair. However, harry did inherent some things from Sirius including his house elf who isn’t the most agreeable or pleasant elf around. Which house elf did Harry inherent from Sirius?

Question 25

Who does Harry catch with Sirius’s stolen belongings?

It seems as though some of Sirius’ items went missing after his death, and although they aren’t entitled to his stuff, some people decided to steal some of his things the moment he passed. Although Harry didn’t initially know where Sirius’ belongings got to, he did find some of his things when he saw one of the people that stole from him. Of course, this enraged Harry as Sirius is his godfather. Who was the person he caught with Sirius’ stolen items?

Question 26

What Horcrux does Dumbledore destroy?

Dumbledore went on a wild goose chase hunting down Tom Riddle’s Horcruxes and trying to destroy them. This proves to not be such a easy task since Voldemort has put together a series of security checks to keep his Horcruxes safe from harm. One must essentially outsmart Voldemort in order to destroy one of his Horcruxes. However, Dumbledore seemed to destroy one of them before he picked up Harry for the school year, which one did he manage to destroy?

Question 27

What does Draco Malfoy ask Borgin to fix for him?

Draco is tasked with killing Dumbledore before the end of the school year, which means he is working with the bad guys in order to do so. There is a plan put into place that the Death Eaters will sneak onto the campus to help Draco with his task, so Draco must have all of the proper preparations in order to pull this plan off. It seems the thing he needed most was broken and needed some repairing, what was the thing Draco asked Borgin to fix for him?

Question 28

What does Harry suspect Draco Malfoy of being?

Draco and Harry have never really seen eye to eye, but this time Harry suspects that Draco is up to no good as he has been sneaking around the campus with an agenda. Harry gets the impression that something seriously wrong is going on with Draco and he suspects something very dark is involved as well since Draco’s dad isn’t the most noble of people either nor did he hang around with the best people. What did Harry suspect was going on with Draco Malfoy?

Question 29

Who bit Remus Lupin, turning him into a werewolf?

Remus Lupin wasn’t born as a werewolf, he was turned into a werewolf. If you remember from previous Harry Potter installments, Remus Lupin doesn’t have a whole lot of control of what he is doing when he is a werewolf either. It’s actually kind of scary since people who are friends with him could die because they are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Who was the person who bit Lupin to turn him into a werewolf in the first place?

Question 30

Where is Draco when he cannot be located on the Marauder’s Map?

Draco is really going through some serious stuff during this installment of the Harry Potter series. He has been hanging out with the wrong crowd and he is in way over his head when he is tasked to kill Dumbledore. Draco isn’t a totally bad person like his father, but he doesn’t want the Death Eaters to kill him as a result of his failures either. When Draco wasn’t able to be located on the Marauder’s Map when Harry was tracing him, where was he?

Question 31

How many times has Dumbledore been offered the position of Minister of Magic?

Just because Dumbledore has been offered the role of Minister of Magic, doesn’t mean he wants it. Sure, this job would encompass much more than a school, but it seems as though Dumbledore is pretty happy with what he has on his plate now. Not to mention that he has enough drama being the headmaster at Hogwarts to begin with. The guy is always putting out fires there. But how many times was Dumbledore offered the position of Minister of Magic?

Question 32

Who replaced Cornelius Fudge as the new Minister of Magic?

Cornelius Fudge couldn’t be the Minister of Magic forever. The guy had the job for quite some time and now it was someone else’s turn to step up to the plate. Although, the ministry would love it if Dumbledore would be their minister, they have to settle on someone else taking the gig as Dumbledore didn’t want the job. Lucky for them they have a bunch of people that do want this coveted role. Who replaced Cornelius Fudge as the new Minister of Magic?

Question 33

How many free periods did Harry and Ron have on the first day of school?

Ron and Harry sure are the dynamic duo. They do everything together and are basically the other one’s shadow. Even in class this year they have the same schedules and free periods. Harry and Ron might not be able to keep up with Hermione when it comes to studies, but they seem perfectly alright with that down time that they have this year. What a relief after their first five stressful years! How many free periods did they have the first day?

Question 34

Which of these scents did Harry not catch from Amortentia potion?

The Amortentia potion is a mysterious potion that has a lot of different smells going on. Thanks to the Half Blood Prince’s textbook though, Harry seems to hit this one right out of the park to all the other students but mainly Hermione’s dismay. It seems that Harry has really surpassed everyone in his class because of his little secret and the Amortentia potion he made really proved that. Which scent didn’t Harry smell from the Amortentia potion he was creating?

Question 35

Who was not present at Hogwarts the night Dumbledore died?

Dumbledore dying could have easily been one of the saddest moments in the Harry Potter series. Dumbledore was a good wizard that wanted nothing more than to protect the students and keep evil at bay. Well, it appeared that evil, namely the Death Eaters, had a different plan up their sleeves as they went right for the jugular on this one. Harry was in disbelief about the entire situation, but out of all of the Death Eaters, who wasn’t there that night?
