Quiz Harry Potter

How well do you know Harry Potter characters?

Twelve traces, twelve identities: can you recognise Harry Potter characters through actions, relationships and secrets from the seven novels?

about 5 min12 questionsAnswers explained

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

An animal form, a private lesson, an object taken away: a character can often be recognised by an action before a name is given. Follow twelve traces from the seven novels. Choose one identity for each; some alternatives share a past, a kind of magic or the very same object. The journey moves from first encounters to final revelations and contains major spoilers through Deathly Hallows. There is no timer; every explanation is available at the end.

An original, unofficial quiz about the seven Harry Potter novels. The score concerns these answers alone, without assigning personality or general ability. The empty boat on the cover is an original atmospheric scene before a reinterpretation of the film castle: it does not depict a specific book passage or contain the question clues.
