About This Quiz

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs were just four of over 100 characters created in the Harry Potter universe. With a flash of red hair or a shot of bespectacled eyes, are you magical enough to pick out these Harry Potter characters from just one image?

In 1997, J.K. Rowling introduced us to her wizarding world of Harry Potter. There were feasts, cauldrons, and Quidditch. While all of these added to the appeal of the story, where would it be without the witches and wizards? What about the paintings, familiars, and even the Sorting Hat?

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone opened you up to Harry and the Dursleys. You got a chance to witness gentle half-giants on motorcycles and short goblins with glasses. You watched Harry befriend a freckled red-head and turn down a friendship with an arrogant blond. And this was just in the first movie!

With a complete archive of 8 films, the Harry Potter series has shown us glimpses at the most popular characters from Hermione to Dumbledore to Lupin to even the most obscure like Barty Crouch, Jr. and Bathilda Bagshot. There are tons of wizards, witches, paintings, ghosts, and pets running through your head. Can you remember all of them?

Let's hope you weren't caught on the end of Gilderoy Lockhart's Obliviate! Can you manage the mischief in this quiz? We'll see!



Draco

Which Harry Potter character is shown here?
Dennis Creevey
Draco Malfoy
Vincent Crabbe
Dudley Dursley
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

The son of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, Draco Malfoy grew up as an only child at Malfoy Manor, the magnificent mansion that had been in his pure blood wizard family’s possession for many centuries. From his first day at Hogwarts, Draco always envied Harry Potter. Though he never sought fame, Harry was undoubtedly the most popular and admired person at school, and this naturally jarred with a boy who had been brought up to believe that he was special and deserved almost royal position within the wizarding community.

Albus Dumbledore

Which of Hogwarts faculty members is shown here?
Albus Dumbledore
Roger Davies
Rubeus Hagrid
Viktor Krum
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

The founder of the Order of the Phoenix with a fondness for sherbet lemon, Albus Dumbledore is considered by many to be one of the most powerful wizards of his time. Hogwarts Headmaster played a crucial role in all Harry Potter books. One of the most popular and intriguing Harry Potter fan theories is the idea that legendary wizard Albus Dumbledore is none other than Ron Weasley, grown up and gone back in time. This bizarre idea first surfaced in 2004, known memorably as the “Knight2King theory,” in which the authors presented a truly impressive amount of circumstantial evidence that Ron/Dumbledore are two sides of the same person.

Harry Potter, singled out by Lord Voldemort at birth, quickly became his greatest rival and the real hero of the wizarding world.

The wizarding family of Potters descends from the twelfth-century wizard Linfred of Stinchcombe, a weird, eccentric, but well-beloved man, whose nickname, ‘the Potterer’, became with time just ‘Potter’. The wizarding Potter family had illustrious beginnings, some of which was hinted at in Deathly Hallows.

Hannah Abbott
Minerva McGonagall
Bathsheda Babbling

Wrong Answer

When asked how she came up with the name for Minerva McGonagall, J.K. Rowling explains that Minerva was the Roman goddess of warriors and wisdom but there was also William McGonagall, well-known for being the worst poet in British history.

Lee Jordan
Igor Karkaroff
Neville Longbottom
Rodolphus Lestrange
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

One of best fan theories is that Neville Longbottom was the real chosen one and Lord Voldemort just made a mistake when he chose Harry. A lot of people think that perhaps the entire book series has been following the “wrong” person and here's why: Remember that moment in the end when Harry tired to kill Voldemort and fail? And just when all hope seemed lost, Neville would rose from the dust and perform the heroic act. There is even a fan fiction, written by Tumblr user ink-splotch, that explores what the world of Harry Potter would've looked like if Voldemort had chosen to mark Neville as his opponent instead. This long, exciting story makes huge changes to each book.

Rowling, with the fall of Lord Voldemort, Dolores Umbridge was put on trial for her co-operation with his regime, and convicted of the torture, imprisonment and deaths of a few people (unfortunately, some of the innocent Muggle-borns she sentenced to Azkaban did not survive).

Dobby house-elf is one of Harry Potter's most loyal friends who supported him from his second year at Hogwarts and even saved his life. The clumsy and naive house-elf may have been a bit of a nightmare at times – redecorating the Dursleys' kitchen with cake, hiding Harry’s personal post and almost getting him expelled weren’t great – but you can’t say he was never a devoted friend.

As Harry's father, James Potter has a big influence on all books, especially because Harry looks exactly like him – except for his eyes, of course. As a teenager, James was a bit cocky, arrogant, and even cruel, but as he gets older, he gets wiser and more compassionate. Since he was the only child of an extremely wealthy pure-blood family, had a brilliant mind, and was an excellent Quidditch player, it's not surprising that he had a remarkable ego as well.
