1. Hedwig
   Tito
2. Owly

Harry's owl was named Hedwig. We thought we'd end on an easier note, since this was a pretty tough quiz. Also, we miss Hedwig and wanted to make sure she was mentioned.

1. Luna Lovegood
   Hermione Granger
2. Professor Snape

Professor Snape was in love with Lily Potter. Everyone knows that! If you didn't, go back and reread the books.

1. how much money she'd make
   the end
2. that all of the books would be movies

JK Rowling knew how the books would end before she even wrote all of them. This is not entirely unusual, though. Many successful authors have entire stories fleshed out in their heads before they start writing.

1. Stephen King
   Charles Dickens
2. William Shakespeare

Stephen King is said to have been particularly enamored with the character of Dolores Umbridge. We think she would have made a great character in one of his books.

1. true
2. false

Although some actors go deep into their characters for a movie, Daniel Radcliffe did not allow Harry's scar to be tattooed onto his face. The movie makeup artists did get a lot of experience reapplying it over and over, though.

1. Brad Pitt
   Haley Joel Osment
2. Jonathan Lipnicki

Brad Pitt would have been a bit too old to play Harry, so this one is a no brainer. And, as much as we like Haley Joel and Jonathan, Daniel Radcliffe IS Harry Potter.

1. Hermione Granger
   Viktor Krum
2. Luna Lovegood

Viktor Krum attended Durmstrang Institute. Durmstrang is the wizarding school that is located somewhere in the Netherlands.

1. Luna Lovegood
   Hermione Granger
2. dementors

JK Rowling has struggled with depression, and for her, the dementors signify the sad feelings that are common with depression. Watch how Harry Potter characters describe dementors - as if they feel sad and empty when the dementors are around.

1. deer
   dragon
2. otter

Hermione's patronus is an otter. Fun fact ... Ron's patronus is a Jack Russell terrier.

1. Ford Anglia
   Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
2. Chevrolet Corvette

Arthur Weasley's flying car was a Ford Anglia. The Anglia was a Ford sold in the UK from 1939 to 1967.

1. the back of Professor Quirrell's head
   Professor Quirrell's turban
2. Voldemort's face

Fred and George were inadvertently hitting Voldemort's face, since he was wrapped in Quirrell's turban. Bet you never thought of that, did you?

1. Harry Potter and the Twin Peaks
   Harry Potter and the Two Muggles
2. Harry Potter and the School of Magic

Harry Potter and the Sorcer's Stone was almost called Harry Potter and the School of Magic. Of course, in the UK, the title is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

1. green
   brown
2. who knows

Harry Potter's eyes are green. Daniel Radcliffe's eyes are blue. The movies reconciled these differences by making Lily's eyes blue in the movies, too.

1. Sirius Black
   Fred Weasley
2. Professor Snape

Professor Snape did not die laughing. Sirius Black and Fred Weasley did, and JK Rowling did this intentionally as both were portrayed as tricksters.

1. Queen Elizabeth II
   Ron Weasley
2. JK Rowling

Harry Potter shares a birthday with JK Rowling, the series' author. When you're an author, you can pop in whatever details you like into your books, and JK did just that. She also made sure that Hermione shared some of her characteristics when she was the same age.

1. All was well.
   scar
2. the end

The last sentence of the Harry Potter book series is "All was well." JK Rowling was actually going to make the last word "scar," but she changed her mind.

1. Harry Potter
   Hermione Granger
2. Ron Weasley

Yup, it's true. As Rowling was writing the books, she found herself in a stressful life situation. Many authors take stress out on their characters. Thankfully, Rowling restrained herself, and Ron got to live to wizard another day.

1. Lily
   Ron
2. James

Harry and Ginny named their first born after Harry's dad, James. His middle name was Sirius, after Sirius Black, Harry's godfather.

1. It is.
   It just looks like a hill.
2. It's not real.

Hogwarts is hidden from the prying eyes of wayward muggles. If muggles accidentally came across Hogwarts, all they would see is an old, falling down building and a "keep out" sign.

1. June 30th
   January 27th
2. April 1st

Fred and George Weasley were born on April 1st, which is April Fools Day. That JK Rowling is a real wit!

1. Harry Potter
   Hermione Granger
2. Ron Weasley

Tom Felton makes a great Draco Malfoy, but he would have made a hideous Hermione. Tom Felton did, however, audition for the parts of Harry and Ron.

1. Writer
   Auror
2. Teacher

Ron became an Auror after he left Hogwarts. A fitting occupation, we think, since Ron would be hard pressed to write or teach.

1. She changed her name.
   She ran away.
2. The books don't say.

Actually, the books don't address what happened to Dolores Umbridge. But JK Rowling clarified the matter in an interview - Umbridge was sent to Azkaban.

1. Arthur Weasley
   Harry Potter
2. Hermione Granger

Originally, Arthur Weasley was slated to die at the fangs of Nagini. But, because there are so few positive dad role models in the story of Harry, Rowling decided to let him live. Whew!

1. wolf
   werewolf
2. husky

Remus Lupin's patronus was a wolf, not a werewolf as some people believe. Remus hated all things werewolf.

1. glass
   bumblebee
2. steel

No, we're not making this one up. The word "dumbledore" really does mean "bumblebee" in Old English. Look it up.

1. She worked at the ministry.
   She backpacked across Europe.
2. She became a pro Quidditch player.

Ginny Weasley became a professional Quidditch player after her time at Hogwarts. However, when she and Harry had children, Ginny retired from sports and devoted herself to raising their children.

1. Janice Joplin
   Michael Jackson
2. John Denver

Michael Jackson wanted to head up a Harry Potter musical, according to JK Rowling. Most offers of these types of productions, she has turned down.

1. Hermione Granger
   Luna Lovegood
2. Helena Bonham Carter

Helena Bonham Carter is considered a rather odd bird to begin with, and she's known for really connecting with her characters. She is said to have kept Bellatrix Lestrange's teeth. Now, that's a nice memento.

1. titanium
   wood
2. straw

Mere wooden brooms would have broken during the scenes. To make sure that the actors were safe, the brooms in the movies were made out of titanium.

1. Draco Malfoy
   Hermione Granger
2. Ron Weasley

Draco Malfoy almost did not attend Hogwarts. Draco almost went to Durmstrang Institute, the school that Viktor Krum attended.

1. Mrs P. Head
   Betsy
2. June

The cat who played Mrs. McGonagall in Harry Potter was named Mrs. P. Head. We're not sure if any of the other animagus actors had names.

1. The Laddie Wha Lived
   The Boy Who Didn't Die
2. The Boy Who Won

The Harry Potter chapter, "The Boy Who Lived," is known as "The Laddie Wha Lived," in Ireland. And, that's not even the strangest translation of Harry Potter books. They are all mostly tailored to their audience.

1. a venomous Tentacula bite
   He is still alive.
2. McGonagall was never married.

McGonagall's husband was the victim of a venomous Tentacula bite. Fun fact ... when she was young, McGonagall was in love with a muggle.

1. on the bus
   on the subway
2. on an airplane

JK Rowling scribbled the names of the Hogwarts houses while she was on a flight. She grabbed the first thing she saw that she could write on ... an air sickness bag. How's that for spur of the moment?
