2. "You are -- truly your father’s son, Harry...."

Explanation

Sirius Black is the correct answer because he is Harry Potter's godfather and a close friend of his father, James Potter. This statement suggests that Harry possesses similar qualities or characteristics as his father, making him "truly his father's son." Remus Lupin, Albus Dumbledore, Rubeus Hagrid, and Professor McGonagall are all important characters in the Harry Potter series, but they do not have the same direct connection to Harry's father as Sirius Black does.

3. "You know your mother, Malfoy? The expression on her face - like she's got dung under her nose? Is she like that all the time or just because you were with her?"

Explanation

The given quote is spoken by Harry Potter, indicating that he is the correct answer. The quote suggests that Harry is addressing someone, most likely Draco Malfoy, about their mother's expression. This implies that Harry is familiar with Malfoy's mother and her typical demeanor, making him the most likely candidate for the correct answer.

4. "The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure."

Explanation

Severus Snape is the correct answer because he is the character who originally said this quote in the Harry Potter series. The quote suggests that the mind cannot be easily understood or explored like a book, implying that it is complex and not easily accessible. Snape, known for his mysterious and enigmatic nature, often spoke in cryptic and thought-provoking ways, making him the most likely character to say such a statement.

Submit
5. "You are determined to hate him [Snape], Harry."

Explanation

Remus Lupin is the correct answer because he is one of Harry's close friends and a member of the Order of the Phoenix. Lupin understands Harry's feelings towards Snape and is aware of their strained relationship. He has witnessed Harry's animosity towards Snape and acknowledges that Harry is determined to hate him. Therefore, Lupin's statement accurately reflects Harry's mindset towards Snape.

Submit
6. "Ah well . . . wand still in your jeans? Both buttocks still on? Okay, let's go."

Explanation

In this quote, the speaker is making a humorous remark about checking if someone is fully prepared and ready to go. The mention of the wand being in the jeans and both buttocks being on implies that the person should have their wand handy and be physically stable before proceeding. Nymphadora Tonks is known for her playful and quirky personality, which aligns with the lighthearted nature of this statement. Therefore, the correct answer is Nymphadora Tonks.

Submit

McGonagall would have known Dumbledore well enough to know that he would have been genuinely happy to see more love in the world.

Submit
8. "Well, I can certainly see why we're trying to keep them alive. Who wouldn't want pets that can burn, sting, and bite all at once?"

Explanation

Draco Malfoy is the correct answer because he is known for his disdain towards magical creatures and his belief in their inferiority. In this quote, he sarcastically acknowledges the reasons why someone might want to keep dangerous pets, highlighting his negative attitude towards them. The other characters listed do not have the same negative perspective on magical creatures, making them incorrect answers.

Ron Weasley is the correct answer because he is a close friend of Harry Potter and often accompanies him on his adventures.

Submit
13. "There are plenty of eyewitness accounts, just because you're so narrow-minded you need to have everything shoved under your nose before you--"

Explanation

Luna Lovegood is the correct answer because she is the one speaking the quoted statement. The statement suggests that there are many eyewitness accounts available, but the person being addressed (presumably someone who is skeptical or closed-minded) requires overwhelming evidence to believe something. This characteristic is often associated with Luna Lovegood, as she is known for her belief in unusual and fantastical things that others may find hard to accept.

Submit
14. "Malfoy's got detention! I could sing."

Explanation

In this quote from Harry Potter, the speaker expresses their joy that Malfoy has received detention. The use of the exclamation mark and the statement "I could sing" suggests a strong sense of satisfaction and happiness.

Hermione is known for her strong sense of justice and dislike for Malfoy, making her the most plausible answer.

Submit
15. "No, E.  E for 'Exceeds Expectations.' "

Explanation

George Weasley is the correct answer because he is one of the characters from the Harry Potter series who uses the phrase "Exceeds Expectations" in relation to school grades. In the books, students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are graded on a scale from "Troll" to "Outstanding," and "Exceeds Expectations" is one of the grades in between. George, along with his twin brother Fred, often uses humor and sarcasm, so his response of "No, E. E for 'Exceeds Expectations'" fits his character.
