Explanation
Harry Potter's Patronus is a stag, which is also his father James Potter's Animagus form.

sneaked them
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Hermione used the Summoning Charm (Accio) to retrieve the Horcrux books from the Headmaster's office in 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'. This spell summons objects to the caster, which Hermione cleverly used to access restricted books about Horcruxes when she needed the information to help destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes. She didn't need Dobby's help or to sneak them physically.

B
Correct answer
Explanation
After Harry's wand breaks in 'Deathly Hallows', he temporarily uses a wand made of blackthorn. This was one of the wands he borrowed from the Malfoy family or Death Eaters during their escape. Blackthorn is a wood used in wand-making, known for its warrior-like properties. 'Blackthorn' is the correct spelling, not 'blackthron', 'blackweed', or 'blackseed'.

fiendfyre
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Rowena Ravenclaw's lost diadem was destroyed by Fiendfyre (cursed fire) cast by Vincent Crabbe in the Room of Requirement during 'Deathly Hallows'. The Basilisk fang destroyed the diary and cup (not the diadem). The Killing curse destroys living beings, not Horcrux objects. Godric Gryffindor's sword destroyed the ring but not the diadem. Fiendfyre is one of the few things that can destroy Horcruxes.
