6. What spell can be used to block the killing curse?

Explanation

The question asks for a spell that can be used to block the killing curse. The options given are Avada Kedavra, Proteago, and It Doesn't Exist. Avada Kedavra is the killing curse itself, so it cannot be used to block itself. Proteago is a spell used for protection, but it is not specifically designed to block the killing curse. Therefore, the correct answer is "It Doesn't Exist," indicating that there is no known spell that can block the killing curse.

Submit
7. Which spell is used to stop Pixies?

Explanation

Imobulus is the correct answer because it is a spell specifically designed to immobilize or freeze magical creatures, including Pixies. This spell is commonly used to stop Pixies from causing mischief or chaos, as it temporarily renders them unable to move or fly. Peskipixie Pesternomi is not a known spell in the Harry Potter universe, and the statement "It Doesn't Exist" is not a valid option.

Arania Exumai is the correct answer because it is a spell specifically designed to repel or banish acromantulas, which are giant spiders. This spell is mentioned in the Harry Potter series and is used by characters to defend themselves against these dangerous creatures. The spell creates a blast of force that can knock back or incapacitate an acromantula, making it an effective means of protection.

Explanation

The Swedish Short-Snout is the correct answer because it is described as being blue grey and having pointy spikes. The Hungarian Horntail is not described as having these characteristics.

Submit
10. What spell can kill dementors?

Explanation

The correct answer is "It Doesn't Exist." This answer suggests that there is no specific spell that can kill dementors.

However, there is no known spell that can directly kill dementors.
