Few people have read the Harry Potter series and felt indifferent towards the magical world. Most of us desperately wished to receive our Hogwarts letter, no matter our age. We all wanted to play quidditch, attend magical classes and taste delicious treats at Hogsmeade. Unfortunately, none of that ever came true, either because the Harry Potter world is fiction or because we are all muggles.
But still, those of us who are real Potterheads (or wizards) learned everything that we possibly could about the magical world of Harry Potter. We learned seemingly useless tidbits of magical history, the names of all the shops in Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley as well as countless spells.
Indeed, it is your knowledge of magical spells that we will be testing in this particular quiz today. We'll give you a very specific, magical situation and you will have to tell us which spell is the appropriate spell to use in the situation in question.
Of course, only real Potterheads (or wizards!) will pass this quiz with flying colors. So, do you consider yourself a Potterhead? Then take this quiz and prove to us that if you were given a chance, you could be a real wizard!
