Trivia Questions and Answers
1) Let’s start with an easy one. Who killed Dumbledore during this battle? (Severus Snape, Lord Voldemort, Draco Malfoy or Bellatrix Lestrange)
The answer is Snape as he was the one who killed Dumbledore during the battle. As we found out later, Snape did this at the request of Dumbledore, which allowed the Death Eaters to trust him more.
2) In which book did the battle of the Astronomy tower take place? (Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince or Death Hallows).
This battle took place in the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince novel. This is the sixth book and movie in the series, and Harry’s sixth year at Hogwarts.
3) Draco Malfoy used a vanishing cabinet to help Death Eaters gain entry into Hogwarts for the battle. Which shop in Knockturn Alley was the vanishing cabinet in? (Borgin & Burkes, Cobb & Webb’s, The Spiny Serpent, or Noggin and Bonce).
Borgin and Burkes was the shop in Knockturn Alley that the vanishing cabinet was in. This cabinet allowed Draco to transport Death Eaters into Hogwarts.

4) Who used the body-bind curse on Harry prior to Dumbledore’s death? (Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape, Draco Malfoy or Bellatrix Lestrange)?
It was Albus Dumbledore himself that put the body-bind curse on Harry Potter. This was to make sure that Harry wasn’t spotted by the Death Eaters and to make sure that he didn’t interfere in his plan to have Snape kill him.
5) What did Harry call Snape that angered him after the death of Voldemort? (Coward, Heartless, Cruel, Loser)
Harry called Snape a coward and told him to fight back against him. This seemed to have struck a chord with Snape as he was probably the bravest character in the entire series for what he ultimately did.
