Dragon heartstring
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Viktor Krum's wand is made of hornbeam wood with a dragon heartstring core, making it 10ΒΌ inches long and quite rigid.

Incinerated with Fiendfyre
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.

Explanation
Draco Malfoy was tasked with two assassination attempts on Dumbledore: 1) Using opal necklace to curse Katie Bell (intended for Dumbledore), and 2) poisoning mead in Slughorn's office (also intended for Dumbledore).

C
Correct answer

Voldemort's father was Tom Riddle Sr., a Muggle.

Chamber of Secrets
-
Department of Secrets
-
Department of Mysteries
-
Forest of Albania
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.
