Harry Potter Prep for July 15th Book 2

It’s as simple as this. As Harry Potter grows and matures throughout his seven years at Hogwarts so does J.K. Rowling’s writing of his story. Don’t get me wrong, she was brilliant with his story from the start, but as she adds to it, there is a definite increase in the depth of each book. For examples, the first book ends at around 300 pages, the second at 340, but from there on out the numbers skyrocket as Harry, Ron, and Hermione get into more trouble. So there must be way more to the later books.

Anywho, I still don’t have a lot to comment on about the second book. I have also read this one way too many times. But I will say I love the hints that Ron and Hermione will get together, but after rereading it and knowing about Ginny and Harry I was hoping there would be more hints towards their future. After all, didn’t J.K. Rowling plan out all 7 novels before writing them? That’s how she knew Dumbledore was gay, right? IDK

Now it’s time for some questions. I’ve made these questions up to test your Harry Potter IQ from the second book. Let’s see how well everyone remembers. No cheating!

Questions!:

What subject did Dumbledore teach before he became headmaster at Hogwarts?
Whose trophy did Ron polish in his first year after he threw up slugs on it?
Name those who were petrified.
What objects kept each person who was petrified from dying?
Why can Harry speak Parselmouth?
Name the titles of Professor Lockhart’s books.
How does Hermione steal the ingredients for the Polyjuice potion from Professor Snape?
From what official body does Harry receive a warning in the summer holidays?
Where does Harry Potter end up when he uses the floo powder?
How many years ago was the Chamber of Secrets opened?

Also, here are the answers to the last quiz. You can reread the questions here.

The Mirror of Erised. The first time he sees his family, the second time he sees the sorcerer’s stone in his pocket.
The sorcerer’s stone is used for alchemy, it can turn metal into gold, and it can make the elixir of life, which makes it possible for immortality.
The three-headed dog’s name is Fluffy, put to sleep by music, Qurirrel uses an enchanted harp, and Harry uses a flute that Hagrid gave him for his birthday.
Ron’s missing chocolate frog cards are Ptolemy and Aggrippa
Number 4, Privet Drive, Little Whingley, Surrey, England.
Dudley receives 37 gifts, but then gets promised 2 more after he starts crying.
Alas! Earwax.
Dumbledore sees himself receiving a pair of socks.
Dudley goes to Smeltings.
Sir Nicholas de Mimsy Porpington.

Good Luck!
