    A. Dodging, blocking with a solid object, and a spell of sacred protection 
    Explanation
    The Killing curse can be countered in three ways: dodging, blocking with a solid object, and using a spell of sacred protection. Dodging involves moving quickly out of the path of the curse, avoiding its impact. Blocking with a solid object means using an object as a shield to physically intercept the curse, preventing it from reaching the intended target. Lastly, a spell of sacred protection can be cast to create a magical barrier that repels the curse and keeps the person safe.

    How are Basilisks bred?

    • Hatching a chicken egg under a snake

    • Hatching a toad egg under a snake

    • Hatching a snake egg under a chicken

    • Hatching a chicken egg under a toad

    Correct Answer
    A. Hatching a chicken egg under a toad
    Explanation
    Basilisks are bred by hatching a chicken egg under a toad. This method implies that the toad acts as a surrogate mother for the chicken egg, providing the necessary conditions for the egg to develop and hatch into a basilisk. The toad's body heat and moisture create a suitable environment for the egg, allowing it to undergo the necessary incubation period. This process results in the successful breeding of basilisks.

    Which protective charm can the Cruciatus curse not penetrate and why?

    • Fidelius- by guessing it

    • Sacred Protection Charm- Love is greater

    • Sacred Protection Charm- Wanting the charm to end

    • Fidelius- Only revealed by the  Secret Keeper giving it willingly

    Correct Answer
    A. Fidelius- Only revealed by the  Secret Keeper giving it willingly
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Fidelius- Only revealed by the Secret Keeper giving it willingly. The Fidelius Charm is a powerful protective charm that hides a secret within a chosen individual, known as the Secret Keeper. The charm cannot be penetrated by the Cruciatus curse because the information is only known by the Secret Keeper and can only be revealed willingly by them. This means that even if someone were to use the Cruciatus curse on the Secret Keeper, they would not be able to extract the hidden information.

    Correct Answer
    A. A dark charm
    Explanation
    A hex is a type of dark charm. It is a spell or enchantment that is intended to bring harm or misfortune to someone. Unlike a protection spell or a jinx, which may have neutral or playful effects, a hex is specifically designed to have negative consequences. It is often considered a curse because of its malicious intent and the harm it can cause.
