Gryffindors
Quidditch team,

fight for victory
together with
Harry
in the first three books
.

The
Defense Against the Dark Arts
teacher position
is considered bewitched - none of
Harry's
teachers last more than a year.
Name all of the teachers who teach Harry, Ron, and Hermione during novels one through six.
The solution:
+

In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone,
Professor Quirrell
(right)
teaches
Defense Against the Dark Arts.
In
Professor Lockhart
who loses his mind at the end of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" follows
Professor Lupine
in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban".
In "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"
Professor Moody
turns out to
be Barty Crouch Junior.
Professor Umbridge
and
Professor Snape
are then probably the two teachers Harry disliked least during his school days.
3rd question: magic formula
+

What magic formula can you use to make objects float?
A little tip:
Seamus Finnigan also
had his difficulties with that in the film ...
The solution:
+
© Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone / Warner Bros. / courtesy Everett Collection / Imago Images
“Wingardium Leviosa, not Leviosaaa,”
explains
Hermione to
her classmates right at the beginning of the first year of school, and in
Professor Flitwick's
class she effortlessly
makes
a feather float.
The fact that she always has clever answers at hand does
not go over well
with
Ron
at first.
Good thing he changed his mind because where would he and
Harry have
gone
without
Hermione
?!
4th question: Magical trials
+

What are the names of the two major exams that
Hogwarts students take
after fifth and seventh grade, respectively?
(As is well known, the
Weasley twins
whistled about it in their final year of school and instead said pompously and loudly
goodbye to
their hated headmistress
Dolores Umbridge
in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"
...)
The solution:
+

Umbridge
was also an uncomfortable fellow!
She supervised the students' exams with hawk eyes:
ZAG
(wizard degree) and
UTZ
(incredibly great wizard) are the names of the great exams that make Hogwarts students sweat.
5th question: grading
+

As
is well known,
Hermione
gives everything to get excellent grades in every subject.
Which grade corresponds to the Muggle grade 1 for the ZAGs and UTZs at Hogwarts and what are the other grades?
The solution:
With distinction you have passed with an
O for "Unparalleled"
, while
T for "Troll"
means that you have
failed
.
In
the wizarding world,
grade 2
is probably
equivalent to
an
E
for
"Exceeded
expectations"
, while
A
for
A
for
"Acceptable"
and
M for "Bad"
tend to be in the middle.
With an
S for "Terrible"
, Hogwarts students can just about get a grade 5.
6. Question: Quidditch again
+

First the Nimbus 2000, then the Firebolt: The magicians' sports cars are the brooms.
W
often he wins Harry actually during his school career the Quidditch Cup?
The solution:
+
© Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince / Warner Bros./ Ronald Grant Archive / Mary Evans / imago images
Harry wins the
Quidditch tournament
of
Hogwarts
total of three times!
The first time in the third year.
After it was canceled in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" due to the trimagic tournament, the
Gryffindors
also won Harry's fifth and sixth
grades
.
7th question: Magical music
+

Which of these four film musicians did NOT compose for at least one Harry Potter film?
a.) John Williams b.) Hans Zimmer c.) Patrick Doyle d.) Alexandre Desplat
The solution:
+
© Matt Winkelmeyer / Getty Images / AFP
The famous
Harry Potter theme
“Hedwig's Theme” naturally comes from the depicted
John Williams
.
After the first two parts, the films have developed stylistically - and so has the music.
Patrick Doyle
and
Alexandre Desplat
were involved from then on, but Hans Zimmer never.
8. Question: "I solemnly swear that I am a do-not-do"
+
© Bernd Settnik / dpa / Picture Alliance
In his third year of school,
Harry found
an extremely useful document: the
Marauder's Map
.
The inventors of the enchanted document signed it with their nicknames.
What are they - and who is behind them?
The solution:
+
© Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / Warner Bros./ Courtesy Everett Collection / Imago Images
Moony, Padfoot, Wormtail
and
crown
have the
Marauder's Map
invented.
Behind the nicknames are the four school friends
Remus Lupine, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew
and Harry's father,
James Potter
.
In the showdown of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", however, the card seems to be defective, as it shows someone who is not in the
Howling Shack
.
Whose secret is Harry discovering about?
The solution:
+
© Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban / Warner Bros./ Courtesy Everett Collection / imago images
The
Marauder's map
claims
Peter Pettigrew
is in the room - providing evidence of Sirius' incredible story!
Ron's rat
turns out to be Animagus and the hidden friend who
betrayed
Harry's parents to
Lord Voldemort
.
How good that the
Weasley twins took
the card with the
caretaker Argus Filch
!
9th question
+
© Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets / Warner Bros./ United Archives / imago images
Frozen students, blood on the wall and
Ginny Weasley
is gone!
Harry has to act in the second volume.
But where is the entrance to the
Chamber of Secrets again
?
The solution:
+
© Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets / Warner Bros./ Ronald Grant / Mary Evans / imago images
In the
girls' bathroom
on the second floor.
It is well known that no
Hogwarts witch
gets
lost there
, if she can prevent it, as the
moaning myrtle is up
to mischief here.
The ideal hiding place to brew polyjuice forbidden, even if the three friends here Myrtes - who, as they later understand, was once the victim of the monster from the chamber - have to endure whining.
10. Question: "The only one he has ever feared"
+
© Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince / Warner Bros./ Heyday Films / imago images
The
headmaster of Hogwarts
is considered to be one of the greatest wizards of all time and even adorns a trading card of the popular chocolate frogs.
For
Harry
too
, Dumbledore is much more than just a headmaster.
But what is
Dumbledore's
full name?
The solution:
+
© Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix / Warner Bros./ United Archives / KPA / imago images
The secret society that
Harry
and his friends founded in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" and called "
Dumbledore's Army
" does not reveal the full name of the legend.
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
is the full name of the Hogwarts Headmaster.
11. Question: How it all began ...
+
© imago images
Bloomsbury
published
JK Rowling's
first
“Harry Potter” volume
in 1997
- after the British publisher had already rejected the script of the single mother and welfare recipient once.
With what edition?
a.) 500 copies b.) 1000 copies c.) 5000 copies d.) 10,000 copies
The solution:
+
© Epa / imago images
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was released on June 26, 1997 with an initial print run of just 500 copies!
Just three days later, the US publisher
Scholastic
surprisingly bought the American rights to the first work
for 100,000 US dollars
.
Rowling received 80 percent of that - a sum never before paid to an unknown children's author.
The rest is history.
12. Question: Uncle Dursley
+
© Harrry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone / Warner Bros./ imago images / United Archives
Vernon Dursley
, the massive choleric and
uncle Harry's
,
never misses
an opportunity to harass his nephew.
While showering his own son with gifts and praise,
Harry has
to live in a closet until he is eleven.
But
how
do the
Dursleys
actually
finance
their suburban dream?
How does
Harry's uncle Vernon
earn
his bread?
The solution:
+
© United Archives / kpa Publicity / imago images
Vernon Dursley
is the director of a company that makes
and sells
drills
.
Her name is "
Grunnings
".
He attaches great importance to his career, his car and his own home - the narrow-minded man is of course bothered by his nephew's “abnormal” parentage.
13. Question: Rufus Beck
+
© Frank Mächler / lby / dpa / Picture Alliance
In Germany enjoys
Rufus Beck
a large fan base.
The actor read all of the books in the
Harry Potter series
for the audio version on
CD.
How many hours would it take to listen to all of the Harry Potter audiobooks set to music by Rufus Beck in one go?
The solution:
+
© Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 / Courtesy Warner Bros./ Cinema Publishers Collection / imago images
By Merlin's underpants!
It would take
136 hours and 56 minutes
(over 5 1/2 days) to listen to the acoustic spectacle in one go.
No wonder, because the fifth part "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" alone is over 1000 pages.
14. Question: An acquaintance of house elf Dobby
+

Kind, loyal and good-natured.
House-elf Dobby
won the hearts of Harry and countless of his fans.
After his liberation from the Malfoys, Dobby searches in vain for a new job for some time, because he now wants to be paid.
After all, he and another elf get hired in the
Hogwarts kitchen
.
She had been
cast out
by
Bartemius Crouch
.
But what was the name of the elf on the couch again?
The solution:

Because
house elf Winky
almost lets his captive son escape, her
master Barty Crouch
throws her
out.
Winky doesn't get life in freedom at all - she's ashamed and even takes refuge in alcoholism.
This fanart shows her with a butter beer bottle - as well as the house elves of the Black family, whom Harry eventually inherits, Kreacher, and of course Dobby with his numerous tea warmers.
15. Question: Voldemort's family
+

Morfin Gaunt
is the little brother of Merope Gaunt.
What only
Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore
know about him: He is not responsible for the murder of three Muggles in Little Hangleton.
His nephew,
Tom Riddle
, had put the act on him with a memory charm.

Regulus Arcturus Black
: The younger brother of Harry's godfather
Sirius
.
Regulus, his parents' favorite child, had joined the Death Eaters in his youth and one day disappeared.
It is only after Sirius' death that Harry, Ron and Hermione find out what became of him: He sacrificed his own life in an attempt to destroy one of Voldemort's Horcruxes.
19. Question: Who is meant?
+

Maybe the first emoji puzzle was too difficult?
But this one is very solvable.
Who are we looking for?
The solution:
+

Meant was
Madam Rosmerta
, the pretty landlady of the “
Drei Besen
”
inn
.
The inn is recreated in the Harry Potter Theme Park at Universal Studios.
20. Question: Who is meant?

In the third part of our emoji quiz, two young women are even eligible.

When
Fleur Delacour
- here in the picture you can see an action doll modeled after her on the right - interacts with Harry for the first time, she is by no means well-disposed towards him.
That changes when Harry
fishes
her little sister
Gabrielle
out of the lake
in the second task of the
trimagic tournament
.
All the better: Because Fleur marries in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" the brother of Harry's later wife Ginny: Bill Weasley.
21. Question: Who is meant?
+

With a short but memorable appearance, this character made it into our emoji quiz.
Who is meant?
The solution:
+
© imago images / Ronald Grant
Magdalene Dursley, Uncle Vernon's sister
: who doesn't remember the hilarious balloon moment from the third Harry Potter part?
The choleric
Aunt Magda
is visiting the Dursleys.
She coddles Dudley even more than her dog and scolds Harry's parents.
He gets pissed off and accidentally turns the corpulent aunt into a balloon.
22. Question: Who did she play in the films?
+

Emma Thompson
has already done magic on screen.
She made her first appearance at Hogwarts
in
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
.
Which witch brought
to life
the
Oscar-winning actress
, who was named Dame Commander of the British Empire by Prince Williams in 2018?
The solution:

A fortune teller wouldn't have been bad at helping with this quiz, right?
Whereby - maybe not this one.
Because
Sybill Trelawney
has rarely shone with real predictions in her career as a seer.
And if she did, she didn't remember it.
Well - artist bad luck.
23. Question: Who did he play in the films?
+
© Aimee Spinks / Hulu / courtesy Everett Collection
He accompanies the
Harry Potter series
from start to finish.
For his acting achievements, he was even
knighted
in 2006
.
Do you recognize him in a suit and tie?
The solution:
+

Robbie Coltrane
played Harry's loyal companion,
Hagrid
.
Film fans knew the now 70-year-old before his Harry Potter appearances.
Coltrane acted in
two James Bond films
(
GoldenEye
and
The World Is Not Enough
).
By the way,
young Hagrid
from the memory scenes is played by
Martin Bayfield,
16 years younger
than him
, in Harry Potter
.
He also did most of the stunts.
24. Question: Who did he play?
+
© John MACDOUGALL / AFP
Bill Nighy
slipped into one of the
most important roles in the wizarding world
.
Did that mean he stayed in your mind?
The solution:
+
© Jaap Buitendijk / imago images / cinema publishers collection
He played the
minister of magic Rufus Scrimgeour
, who took up the fight against the threat of black magic as the successor to Cornelius Fudge.
Unfortunately, his measures are not effective and
he suddenly finds himself in a political dispute
with
Harry Potter
.
Nevertheless, his ideals prove to be remarkable.
Before he was
murdered
, even under the
Cruciatus Curse, he
did not
reveal
where Harry is hiding.
25th question
+

Sure,
John Cleese's
doorbell rings immediately.
The
"Monty Python" comedian
is not only an acting legend on the island.
Die-hard fans will hardly have forgotten
that he also accompanied
two Harry Potter parts
.
What character did he give his hilarious note to?

Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington
