Harry Potter is getting a magical new release.
The core Harry Potter series consists of seven main fantasy novels originally published by Bloomsbury between 1997 and 2007. Since its release, the series has had many re-releases, including illustrated editions and digital audiobooks. The novel series is easily one of the most successful and influential literary franchises in history, with over 450 million copies sold worldwide. Ahead of HBO’s live-action reboot, a whole new book is set for a magical release.

What spell is used to disarm an opponent, famously becoming Harry Potter’s signature move throughout the series?
✓ Correct! Expelliarmus is the Disarming Charm. Harry used it so often that it became his trademark spell — even using it in his final duel against Voldemort in the Battle of Hogwarts.
✗ Not quite! The answer is Expelliarmus. Stupefy is a Stunning Spell, Protego is a Shield Charm, and Petrificus Totalus is the Full Body-Bind Curse. Expelliarmus forces an opponent’s wand out of their hand.

In “The Prisoner of Azkaban,” Hagrid introduces his Care of Magical Creatures class to a proud hippogriff. What is the creature’s name?
A Fang
B Norbert
C Buckbeak
D Aragog
✓ Correct! Buckbeak the hippogriff became a key part of the story when Draco Malfoy insulted him and got injured. Harry and Hermione later saved Buckbeak from execution using the Time-Turner.
✗ Not quite! The answer is Buckbeak. Fang is Hagrid’s boarhound, Norbert is his baby dragon from the first book, and Aragog is the giant Acromantula in the Forbidden Forest.

What potion allows the drinker to assume the physical appearance of another person, and plays a major role in “The Chamber of Secrets” and “The Goblet of Fire”?
✓ Correct! Polyjuice Potion transforms the drinker into someone else for about an hour. Hermione brewed it in their second year to infiltrate the Slytherin common room, and Barty Crouch Jr. used it to impersonate Mad-Eye Moody.
✗ Not quite! The answer is Polyjuice Potion. Felix Felicis is liquid luck, Veritaserum is a truth serum, and Amortentia is a powerful love potion. Polyjuice Potion is the one that changes your appearance.

How many Horcruxes did Lord Voldemort intentionally create to split his soul and achieve immortality?
A
Five
B
Seven
C
Four
D
Six
✓ Correct! Voldemort intentionally created six Horcruxes: the diary, the ring, the locket, the cup, the diadem, and Nagini. Harry became an accidental seventh Horcrux, making the total number of soul fragments seven — the most magically powerful number.
✗ Not quite! The answer is six. Voldemort deliberately created six Horcruxes: Tom Riddle’s diary, Marvolo Gaunt’s ring, Slytherin’s locket, Hufflepuff’s cup, Ravenclaw’s diadem, and Nagini. Harry was an unintentional seventh piece.
05
How many points is the Golden Snitch worth when caught by a Seeker during a Quidditch match?
A
50 points
B
150 points
C
100 points
D
200 points
✓ Correct! Catching the Golden Snitch awards 150 points and ends the match. This is why the Seeker position is so crucial — catching the Snitch almost always wins the game, though famously at the Quidditch World Cup, Viktor Krum caught it but Bulgaria still lost.
✗ Not quite! The answer is 150 points. The Golden Snitch is worth 150 points and also ends the match. At the 1994 Quidditch World Cup, Krum caught the Snitch for Bulgaria but Ireland still won because they were more than 150 points ahead.

What form does Severus Snape’s Patronus take — revealing his lifelong love for Harry’s mother, Lily?

A stag

✓ Correct! Snape’s Patronus is a doe —the same as Lily Potter’s. When Dumbledore asked “After all this time?” Snape famously replied, “Always.” It’s one of the most emotional reveals in the entire series.
.
✗ Not quite! The answer is a doe. Snape’s Patronus matches Lily Potter’s because of his deep, enduring love for her. James Potter’s Patronus was a stag —the male counterpart. The doe is what led Harry to the Sword of Gryffindor in the frozen lake.

.What magical object must you look into to see the Mirror of Erised’s true purpose —and what does it show the viewer?
<P.
.Their deepest,
most desperate desire
.
.Their future self at their most powerful
.
.Their greatest fear
.
.Their happiest memory
.
<P.
✓ Correct! The Mirror of Erised (“desire”
spelled backward) shows the deepest desire of whoever looks into it. Harry saw his parents,
Ron saw himself as Head Boy and Quidditch captain,
and Dumbledore claimed he saw himself holding a pair of thick,
woolen socks.
<P.
✗ Not quite! The answer is their deepest,
most desperate desire. “Erised”
is “desire”
spelled backward.
The inscription reads:
“I show not your face but your heart’s desire.”
Dumbledore warned Harry that the mirror gives neither knowledge nor truth,
and men have wasted away before it.
