About This Quiz
"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs were just four of more than 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 thewitches 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 redhead and turn down a friendship with an
arrogant blond. And this was just in the first movie!
With a complete archive of eight films, the Harry Potter series has shown us glimpses of the most popular characters from Hermione to Dumbledore and 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 Malfoy
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 an almost royal position within the wizarding community.

Albus Dumbledore
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. The 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
Harry Potter, singled out by Lord Voldemort at birth, quickly became his greatest rival and the real hero of the wizarding world. In the Muggle world, "Potter" is an occupational surname that simply means a man who creates pottery. The wizarding family of Potters descends from the 12th-century wizard Linfred of Stinchcombe, an 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.

Rowling wrote for her website, Pottermore, Sir Nicholas lounged around the court of Henry VII in life, until his stupid attempt to beautify a lady by magic caused the unfortunate woman to sprout tusks. He was then was stripped of his wand and inexpertly executed, leaving his head hanging off by a single flap of skin. He retains a feeling of inadequacy, envying truly headless ghosts.

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. There was something irresistible to the author about his name, and the idea that such a brilliant woman might be a distant relative of the ridiculous McGonagall.

Neville Longbottom
One of the 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 tried to kill Voldemort and fails? And just when all hope seemed lost, Neville rose from the dust and performed the heroic act. There is even a fan fiction 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.

Dolores's time at Hogwarts ended disastrously because she overreached the remit Fudge had given her, stepping outside the bounds of her own authority. Shaken, but still fanatic about her job after a catastrophic end to her Hogwarts career, she returned to the Ministry of Magic. According to J.K. Rowling, with the fall of Lord Voldemort, Dolores Umbridge was put on trial for her cooperation 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).
