Here are 150 Harry Potter trivia questions and answers, from the cupboard under the stairs to the Battle of Hogwarts. They run in rounds — Hogwarts, Quidditch, friends and foes, spells and potions, magical creatures, the films and the story behind the books — so you can host a themed round or shuffle the lot.

Every question is tagged easy, medium or hard. Where the books and movies disagree, the question says which one it means, so nobody gets robbed on a technicality. The easy ones suit a family movie night; the hard ones (Arithmancy professors, Anapneo, the Blast-Ended Skrewt) are for the fans who have reread the series more than once.
