Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself

Explanation

The Knight Bus picks up Harry after he accidentally inflates Aunt Marge and transports him to the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley, where he meets Cornelius Fudge (the Minister of Magic) and later reunites with the Weasleys and Hermione Granger. The other options are incorrect - Hogwarts is where the train goes, Uncle Vernon's home is where Harry runs from, and the black lake is unrelated to the Knight Bus route.

When Harry encounters Dementors on the Hogwarts Express, he hears a woman screaming - this is the sound of his mother Lily Potter screaming when she died protecting him from Voldemort. The Dementors force Harry to relive this traumatic memory, which is why he passes out. The other names are incorrect - it's not Hermione, Ginny, or Voldemort's voice that he hears.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The spell to turn a Boggart into something comical is 'Riddikulus,' which Professor Lupin teaches to his third-year Defense Against the Dark Arts class. It forces the Boggart to take a humorous form, and laughter is what actually defeats a Boggart. 'Expecto Patronum' is for Dementors, 'Stupefy' stuns opponents, and 'Accio' summons objects.
