Viktor Krum's wand is made of hornbeam wood with a dragon heartstring core, making it 10ΒΌ inches long and quite rigid. Dragon heartstring is one of the three supreme wand cores along with phoenix feather and unicorn hair. Veela hair is not a standard wand core - it's what Fleur Delacour's wand actually contains (which is unusual).

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

Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem Horcrux was destroyed when Vincent Crabbe unleashed Fiendfyre (cursed fire) in the Room of Requirement during the Battle of Hogwarts. The Fiendfyre incinerated the diadem - the only way to destroy this particular Horcrux. Basilisk venom (via Gryffindor's sword) destroys Horcruxes but was not used on the diadem, and the Killing Curse cannot destroy Horcruxes.

Marvolo Gaunt was Voldemort's maternal grandfather. Voldemort's mother was Merope Gaunt, daughter of Marvolo Gaunt. The Peverells were distant ancestors of the Gaunt family (through the Cadmus Peverell line), but Marvolo himself was not referred to as a 'Descendant of Peverells' - he was a Gaunt. Voldemort's father was Tom Riddle Sr., a Muggle.

Multiple choice general knowledge
  1. Chamber of Secrets

  2. Department of Secrets

  3. Department of Mysteries

  4. Forest of Albania

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

In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the prophecy about Harry and Voldemort was hidden deep within the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic. The Death Eaters believed the prophecy contained crucial information about how to defeat Harry, so the Order (specifically Sirius Black and other members) moved it there for safekeeping. The Chamber of Secrets is unrelated to the prophecy, and the Department of Secrets does not exist in the wizarding world.
