Some fandoms never really leave people, and Harry Potter is one of the biggest examples of that. A random spell name, a Hogwarts house debate, or one quote from Snape is enough to turn a normal conversation into a full-on fan discussion.
That is exactly why Potterhead trivia works best for movie marathons, themed parties, classroom games, family quiz night, or just testing which friend really knows the difference between a Horcrux, a Hallows symbol, and a random bit of Hogwarts history.
Below are 100 Potterhead trivia questions with answers, split into sections so it is easier to play in rounds. Some are easy wins. Some are a little sneaky. A few are the kind of questions that separate casual fans from the people who definitely know their wand wood too.
