Trivia Questions & Answers
Here are some additional details about each question that you just answered. This will provide some extra context on the ones that you may have gotten incorrect.
1) Which Patil Twin Did Harry Take To The Ball?
Harry Potter took Parvati Patil to the ball and Ron Weasley took Padma Patil. Padma was sorted into Ravenclaw, whereas Parvati was sorted into Gryffindor. Both of them were also members of Dumbledore’s Army. Harry and Ron spent most of the ball sulking and did not end up asking their partners to dance. Harry did end up dancing with Parvati though as he had to dance with his partner because he was a Triwizard Champion.
2) What Time Did The Ball Start At?
The ball took place at 8:00 PM and it ended at midnight. The start time was revealed by Professor McGonagall in the fourth book.
3) What Special Day Did The Ball Take Place On?
The ball took place on Christmas Day (December 25th, 1994). “Yule” is a word that is commonly associated with Christmas, so this makes sense.
4) Who Was The Date Of The Beauxbatons Champion, Fleur Delacour?
Fleur Delacour took Roger Davies to the ball as her date. Davies was the Ravenclaw Quidditch team captain. After the death of Cedric Diggory, Davies asked out Cho Chang but she refused because she was interested in Harry.
5) In The Movie, Hermione’s Dress Was Pink. What Color Was Her Dress In The Book?
Hermione Granger‘s dress is periwinkle-blue in the book and it is unclear why they made the change to pink in the movie. This is an easy one to mess up as her pink dress is so memorable in the movie that you would have no reason to think they would have not stuck to the source material.

Seamus Finnigan attended the ball with Lavender Brown. Lavender is best-known for her brief fling with Ron Weasley.
7) Which Weasley Twin Took Angelina Johnson To The Ball?

The Weird Sisters is the band that played during the event. The band included two members from Radiohead (Jonny Greenwood and Phil Selway). It also featured two members from the band Pulp (Jarvis Cocker and Steve Mackey). The band is not named in the movie because of a copyright dispute over the name. This dispute was between the studio and the Wyrd Sisters, which is a Canadian Folk band.

Harry wore a White bow-tie during the ball. This is not to be confused with Ron, who had a dark green bow-tie.
