Sunday Potter Quiz: The Elder Wand

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter Thirty Two: The Elder Wand

1. Why does Hermione scream after the wall falls on Fred?
2. How does the Trio figure out where the Dark Lord is?
3. With whom is the Dark Lord speaking?
4. Which side is Peeves the Poltergeist on – and what is his weapon of choice?
5. What two witches take out Fenrir Greyback to save Lavender Brown?
6. Whom does Hagrid sacrifice himself to save?

8. What spell does Ron use to freeze the Whomping Willow?

For your reflection: Lord Voldemort kills Severus Snape with Nagini rather than a killing spell from the Elder Wand. Why does he think that would be sufficient to “take the mastery” from Severus? Why does he make the mistake he does here of misunderstanding which wand took the Death Stick from Dumbledore? Is this linked somehow to his drinking unicorn blood in Philosopher’s Stone?
