It Will Take An Actual Wizard To Name All These Magical Harry Potter Items

In the Harry Potter series, there's a whole lot of magic. From magic spells to magic locations or magical creatures and even famous witches and wizards who everyone in the wizarding world is aware of, there's a lot of stuff in the Harry Potter universe that fans have to keep track of! Of course, we're just Muggles and keeping track of all the different spells, items, and creatures in the wizarding world isn't quite as important as it is for the witches and wizards who are actually using and encountering them during their lives.

There are all kinds of magical items in the Harry Potter series. There's magic candy, magical wizard collector's cards that feature photographs of famous witches and wizards on them, devices that can help someone to remember something or alert them if there's an enemy nearby, and even dark magical items that can be used by witches and wizards for purposes that aren't exactly nice. Some of them appear over and over throughout the entire series while others are only really mentioned a few times and are pretty obscure. Still, true Harry Potter fans who really wish they could be witches and wizards have no problem keeping track of all of them!

Who thinks they're enough of a wizard to name all of these Harry Potter items? Take this quiz and prove it!

Question 1

What is this sneaky cloak called?

Who doesn't wish they could just be invisible sometimes? It would be so handy to be able to just become invisible and sneak around without anyone being able to see you sometimes. Imagine all the conversations you could listen in on or places you could sneak around to! In the Harry Potter series, Harry gets a very special gift during his first Christmas at Hogwarts. It's a special cloak that lets him do exactly that: become invisible and sneak around! It had once belonged to his father and was given to Harry by Dumbledore. It was originally one of the three relics in The Tale of the Three Brothers.

Question 2

What is this map called?

Throughout the Harry Potter series, Harry and his friends really have to sneak around Hogwarts quite a few times without being caught. That's definitely not easy in a school full of so many students and staff members! Between teachers, people like Filch, and other students who aren't fans of Harry and his friends, Harry had to be pretty careful. Luckily, he was given a super cool map that showed the location of everyone in the castle so he could wander the halls of Hogwarts safely without ever being caught. How many Harry Potter fans remember the name of this magical map?

Question 3

What is this device called?

Getting comfortable in bed at the end of a long, tiring day is one of the best feelings. But, it's definitely not so great when you get comfortable and then look up and realize that you've forgotten to turn the lights off! Ugh. As shown in the Harry Potter series, there's a device that can help that. Whether you're just lazy or you need to turn the lights out for a little bit of secrecy, this item that was once owned by Albus Dumbledore before he left it to Ron Weasley can be flipped open so that it can turn the lights out all around you.

Question 4

What are these candies called?

Let's be honest, food is just better looking in the wizarding world. Although we can't tell since us Muggles unfortunately don't have access to any of the delicious treats that the witches and wizards in the Harry Potter series do, we can assume that they're probably pretty delicious. One of the sweet treats that appear in the Harry Potter series starting with the very first installment are these delicious, creamy chocolate candies. In each of them, there's a collectible card that features the photograph and name of a famous witch or wizard throughout history. What is the name of these candies?

Question 5

What are Luna's glasses called?

Oh, Luna. You're so strange but it's hard not to love your quirky nature. Luna Lovegood is quite an unusual character throughout the series who often says strange things and references creatures in the magical world that it seems like no one else has really ever heard of. Since her father is the editor of The Quibbler, a truly unusual tabloid in the wizarding world, this is no surprise to any Harry Potter fan. The Quibbler gave our pairs of these colorful glasses at one point in the series and Luna claims they allow the wearer to see invisible creatures called "wrackspurts."

Question 6

What item allows wizards to transport to another location by touching it?

Taking the Hogwarts Express to school and riding a broomstick around sounds like so much fun. It's really too bad that us Muggles can't use any of the magical transportation methods that are seen within the Harry Potter series! Although things like broomsticks seem fun, they're also a little slow. Luckily, witches and wizards have a much more instant way of traveling from place to place. There's a magical item that can have a spell placed on it that makes it possible for wizards to simply touch it and find themselves transported somewhere else instantly! Who knows what this item is called?

Question 7

What is this cup called?

In the Harry Potter series, there are quite a few different mugs, goblets, bowls, and other dining-related items. Considering Hogwarts has such a huge Great Hall in which meals are served with its magic ceiling and floating candles, this isn't too much of a surprise! This cup is one that once belonged to one of the founding members of Hogwarts and is known for the fact that it was once stolen. It was a Horcrux that Voldemort used in order to divide his soul up in order to help keep him in power for as long as possible. What is it called?

Question 8

What is this loud letter called?

Missing several calls and then getting a voicemail from your parents is never fun. It typically means that you know you're about to be in big trouble for something. Even though cell phones don't exist in the Harry Potter universe, that doesn't mean that the same basic thing can't happen to a student at Hogwarts. As Ron Weasley found out in the second installment of the Harry Potter series, sending a magically angry letter to a student at Hogwarts is very much possible. It arrives in a red envelope and screams the message at the person it was addressed to.

Question 9

What is this founder's item called?

When Hogwarts was founded, there was one founder for each of the four founders. One of the four founders of the school and the founder of Ravenclaw house was Rowena Ravenclaw. This item was once lost and was the only remaining relic in the wizarding world that was known to belong to Rowena Ravenclaw during her lifetime. This item is a silver tiara with a blue gemstone and a raven carved into it. Etched into the sides of the crown that go around the wearer's head is Ravenclaw house's motto: Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure." What is this item called?

Question 10

What is this cup called?

This cup is a large glass and metal goblet that is held at the school that wins the Triwizard Tournament until the next tournament takes place, at which time it is competed for by three wizards from different schools and the winner's school gets the honor of displaying it until the next tournament. It has two dragons that wrap around from the base up to the top of the cup and work as handles for it that it can be held by. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, this item was turned into a Portkey by Voldemort during the Triwizard Tournament.

Question 11

What is this stone?

This stone is one that isn't only a thing in the Harry Potter series but also outside of it. According to the myths and legends that surround this stone, it was created by an alchemist centuries ago and is said to be able to turn any stone into pure gold and can be used in order to create and elixir of life which will give the person who drinks it the gift of immortality. In the Harry Potter series, this legendary stone made an appearance in the very first installment in which Voldemort was desperately trying to find it in order to return to power.

Question 12

What substance lets wizards travel through fireplaces?

In the wizarding world, there are a whole bunch of different ways to travel. Although, there are a few we wouldn't recommend like stealing your dad's altered flying car. Yeah, as Harry and Ron discovered, that tends to attract the attention of Muggles which is definitely not something that any witch or wizard wants! One method of traveling actually involves using a special powder to magically travel through fireplaces. Unfortunately, it's not exactly easy. Harry finds this out when an attempt to go to Diagon Alley takes him all the way to Knockturn Alley by accident! What is this powder called?

Question 13

What did Hermione use to take multiple classes at once?

Has anyone ever been as much of an over-achiever as Hermione Granger? We sure don't think so. During the third installment of the Harry Potter series, titled Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Hermione showed off her over-achieving nature more than she ever had before. Instead of taking a normal class load like everyone else, she went above and beyond by taking even more classes than her fellow Hogwarts students. Some of them were even taking place at the exact same time! In order to make this a possibility, she had to wear a very special magical necklace. What is it called?

Question 14

What is this bus called?

In the Muggle world, we have a lot of different types of public transportation. From taxis to buses to subways, Muggles have got a lot of ways to get around. So do wizards! Their ways of transport aren't all super magical like Portkeys, Floo Powder, and broomsticks! Instead, they have some pretty ordinary methods of travel too. Especially if things get tough and they have to get somewhere in a pinch. In the third installment of the Harry Potter series, we're introduced for the first time to a triple-decker purple bus that transports stranded wizards where they need to go.

Question 15

What family's clock reveals everyone's location?

The wizarding world is a big place. Muggle parents definitely always want to know where their children are and it's obvious that wizarding parents are no different! Luckily, there is one family in the Harry Potter series that can always know where the members of their family are. No need for these parents to worry! Whether their children are traveling, at school, in big trouble, or playing a fun game of Quidditch, this magical clock will tell anyone who looks at it exactly where anyone in the family is located. No more hiding for these wizard kids! What family owns this clock?

Question 16

What is this ball called?

Ugh, forgetting things is so annoying. No one likes to be out of the house and realize they managed to forget something huge like their grocery shopping list, their phone, or their wallet! Whether you tend to forget things at home or totally just forget things that you needed to accomplish during the day, it's definitely no fun for anyone to forget things. Luckily, there's a magical gadget for that in the wizarding world that allows the owner to see when they're forgetting something. This clear glass orb fills itself with red smoke when the person who owns it has forgotten something.

Question 17

What is this book?

If there are any items in the Harry Potter series that any Potterhead is bound to remember instantly, this book is definitely one of them. This book makes its appearance in the Harry Potter series during the second book and movie in the series, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. This book first appears when Harry is with the Weasley family shopping in Diagon Alley for school supplies. Lucius Malfoy slyly drops it into Ginny Weasley's cauldron among her other books which causes quite a bit of trouble in Hogwarts that year. In the end, Harry gets rid of it with a Basilisk fang!

Question 18

What is this founder's item?

This founder's item is one that once belonged to the original founder of Slytherin, Salazar Slytherin himself. It's a necklace that has a heavy gold chain with a large gold pendant at the end of it. The pendant has a green snake inlay that is featured in the metal in the shape of an S. A snake in the shape of the letter S? Pretty fitting for Salazar Slytherin, right? It was created in the late 10th century and passed down to the Gaunt family after Salazar Slytherin's passing. Eventually, it found its way into Tom Riddle's hands and was made into a Horcrux.

Question 19

"Potter Stinks" appeared in glowing letters on what kind of item during the Triwizard Tournament?

When Harry found himself entered in the Triwizard Tournament, he was obviously confused. First of all, he was the fourth wizard to be entered and there were only supposed to be three! On top of that, Harry wasn't actually old enough to compete in the Triwizard Tournament, which means that someone had used some seriously dark magic in order to enter him against his will into the tournament. Other students weren't exactly pleased that he was once again in the spotlight and started wearing accessories around Hogwarts that said "Potter Stinks" in glowing, green letters. What kind of item said this?

Question 20

Fred and George invented an "extendable" version of which of these body parts?

While they were students at Hogwarts and even after the two of them left the school, Fred and George Weasley were seriously troublemakers. The two of them spent a lot of time pulling pranks and making jokes, so it was no surprise when the two of them left Hogwarts and went to open their own joke store with all kinds of hilarious novelty products and prank supplies. One product that the two of them invented and sold were an "extendable" version of a certain body part that could be used to listen in on conversations other people were having in other rooms.

Question 21

What is this wand?

There are a lot of special wands in the Harry Potter series. Each witch and wizard has one of their own that is made up of a really special, specific combination of wood and core. Some cores that make up wands in the Harry Potter series include phoenix feather, unicorn tail hair, veela hair, and dragon heartstring. Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort both have phoenix feather at the core of their wands while other people have different cores like Fleur Delacour having veela hair at the core of hers. This legendary wand is the only known wand to use thestral tail hair.

Question 22

What mirror shows a person's deepest desires?

Everyone has something that they really want in life. Whether it's to have a huge family with someone you love, to become rich and famous with tons of adoring fans, or to finally get your dream job and gain recognition for doing what you love, everyone has something in their heart that they want more than anything else in the world. In the first installment of the Harry Potter series, we're introduced to a magical mirror that shows whoever stands in front of it the one thing that they want more than anything. It's different for everyone and only that person can see their own reflection.

Question 23

What is this sword?

This special sword is one that appears several times throughout the Harry Potter series. It once belonged to one of the founders of Hogwarts and comes into Harry's possession at different points during the series when he seriously needs it. This sword is said to have been made in the 10th century by goblins. The fact that it was made by goblins means that it is enchanted with special wizarding magic and has more special powers than a regular sword. It's first seen in the Harry Potter series during Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets when Harry uses it to defeat the basilisk under Hogwarts.

Question 24

What kind of self-writing quill did Rita Skeeter use?

Anyone who has ever tried to take notes in school will know that trying to keep up with what someone is saying while also writing it down can be hard! Luckily, in the wizarding world, that's not a problem... Kind of. Rita Skeeter appeared for the first time in the fourth installment of the Harry Potter series as a journalist who was covering the Triwizard Tournament. She used a quill that would write everything for her during her interviews with Harry but, as Harry learned, it didn't exactly write what he was saying but a more interesting and totally fake new version.

Question 25

What is this candy called?

Sneaking snacks into class isn't easy in the Muggle world. If you're in a class where the teacher isn't a fan of people eating while they learn, you're kind of out of luck. Meanwhile, the wizarding world has got it easier because students have such a variety of clever and super magical snacks and treats. These are one type of treat that appear in the Harry Potter series that look really similar to the quills that students use to write during class and to do their homework in. But instead of being made from a feather, these quills are candy that can be discreetly eaten during class!

Question 26

What is this dark magical artifact?

This dark artifact is one that could only be purchased in Knockturn Alley, the home of all dark and spooky things in the wizarding world that a witch or wizard might want to buy for some reason. This artifact is a shriveled up hand that appears in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets when Harry finds himself in Knockturn Alley. When he reaches out to touch it, the hand grabs him instead and won't get go until he wiggles free from it. Myths that surround this artifact claim that it has several different kinds of powers, including lighting up a dark room for its owner.

Question 27

What hat chooses the Hogwarts house that students are in?

Once a student arrives at Hogwarts, they are placed into one of four different Hogwarts houses. Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Hufflepuff are the four houses at Hogwarts that are named after each of the four founders of the school. Each house has different traits that fit the people who are placed into the house. Just about every Harry Potter fan out there is probably aware of what house they're in based on their personality. Whether they're booksmart and definitely belong in Ravenclaw or they're brave and loyal and fit right in with Gryffindor, Potterheads know! What is the name of the hat that chooses the house they're placed into?

Question 28

What is this snake's name?

Even though most of the Horcruxes in the Harry Potter series were items, particularly things that belonged to the founders of Hogwarts due to the fact that they were so rare and would be so difficult for someone to find and dispose of, and things that were special to Voldemort, there is one Horcrux that was special to Voldemort but wasn't actually an item. Instead, it was his pet snake that was featured several times throughout the series as being with him almost all the time. Spin-off films have given this snake quite a backstory, but who can remember her name?

Question 29

What adhesive substance fixes a broken wand?

As any fan of the Harry Potter series definitely knows, getting a wand is a huge event for any young witch or wizard. They have to go to the wand shop and try out different wands before they find one that really vibes with them and that they can use. As Ollivander states in the very first installment of the Harry Potter series, the wand chooses the wizard! Unfortunately, accidents happen and snapping something like a pair of glasses or even a wand in half might happen to even the most careful wizard! Which of these can be used to fix it?

Question 30

What is this stone?

Any Harry Potter fan will definitely remember the three legendary Deathly Hallows that played a large part in the final installment of the series. They're three items from a story called The Tale of the Three Brothers. The three Peverell brothers were each given a gift that was incredibly powerful but also very dangerous. These items included the Cloak of Invisibility, the Elder Wand, and this stone. Anyone who had all three items in their possession would be said to be incredibly powerful. This stone in particular is said to be able to bring back the spirits of people who have lost their lives.

Question 31

What kind of Dark Detector can sense lies?

It's easy to be sneaky in the Harry Potter world. With items like the Marauders Map and the Cloak of Invisibility, Harry and his friends show how easy it is to sneak around Hogwarts and the rest of the wizarding world, totally undetected by other witches and wizards who they might not want to bump into when they're out roaming the halls of Hogwarts late at night or out in the world, trying to find and get rid of all the Horcruxes. But, sneaking being so easy means that there are also items that are designed to detect this kind of deception.

Question 32

What is this trunk?

In the wizarding world, even things that look like they're totally normal items are actually magical. Sure, there are trunks in the Muggle world that hold all kinds of items and can be used while traveling or for storage. But they're definitely way different than the kind that appear in the wizarding world! This trunk made its first appearance in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth installment in the Harry Potter series. It came to Hogwarts when Mad-Eye Moody did in order to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and was totally full of surprises.

Question 33

What is this book?

Let's be honest, textbooks for school aren't often very exciting. They're full of all kinds of facts and words and no pictures and none of it is related to magic or spells or anything. Being a Muggle is just so bland! Meanwhile, the students at Hogwarts have all kinds of interesting and exciting books. Some of them can even be pretty dangerous, like this book full of all kinds of different monsters and dangerous creatures. It also details the care of these creatures so that any witch or wizard brave enough to care for them knows exactly what they're doing.

Question 34

What is this giant game of chess called?

In the wizarding world, even board games are no fun! Would a witch or wizard at Hogwarts ever be caught playing a silly game of Muggle Monopoly? Nope! Even games like chess are made far more interesting in the wizarding world because of the fact that, unlike in the Muggle world, all the pieces come to life. The fact that Harry and Ron had experience playing a small chess board came in handy during the hunt for the Philosopher's Stone because this giant chess board was one of the last puzzles that stood between Harry and Lord Voldemort during the first installment in the series.

Question 35

What is this pouch?

Like just about everything else in the Harry Potter universe, this tiny coin purse is not exactly as it appears. Yes, it's a really cute handbag. Yes, it's covered in intricate beading and yes, it has a drawstring top. But no, this purse isn't exactly as tiny as it appears. Anyone unfamiliar with this pouch would probably look at it and wonder what could fit in there! Maybe one chapstick? Definitely not a phone or anything useful! But, anyone familiar with the Harry Potter series will know that this bag was charmed and fits so, so much more than it looks like it does.
