Harry Potter Magical Creatures Quiz
If there's one thing J.K. Rowling did exceptionally well in the Harry Potter series (besides creating an entire universe we all wish we lived in), it's filling it with the most fascinating creatures. From adorable to absolutely terrifying, the wizarding world is packed with beings that range from mischievous Cornish pixies to the wise and majestic phoenix.
But how well do you actually know them? Sure, you can probably recognize a Hippogriff thanks to Buckbeak's iconic bow in The Prisoner of Azkaban, and maybe you remember that Thestrals can only be seen by those who have witnessed death. But what about the trickier ones—like the difference between a Merperson and a Grindylow?
It's time to put your magical beast knowledge to the test. This quiz will challenge you with 22 questions about the creatures that roam the wizarding world. Will you make Hagrid proud?
The Magical Creatures of Harry Potter
Before you start, let's take a moment to revisit some of the most well-known (and sometimes overlooked) creatures in the Harry Potter universe.
The Majestic and Mysterious
Some creatures in the wizarding world inspire awe and admiration. They're rare, beautiful, and often have incredible magical properties.
- Phoenix – Fawkes, Dumbledore's loyal companion, could burst into flames and be reborn from his ashes. His tears also had incredible healing powers.
- Thestrals – Skeletal winged horses that can only be seen by those who have witnessed death. Despite their eerie appearance, they are gentle and highly intelligent.
- Hippogriffs – Half-eagle, half-horse creatures known for their pride. They demand respect—bow first, or risk getting slashed!
The Mischievous and Dangerous
Not all creatures are friendly. Some love causing chaos, while others are downright terrifying.
- Cornish Pixies – Tiny, electric-blue troublemakers that love wreaking havoc, as seen in The Chamber of Secrets.
- Trolls – Big, witless, and dangerous. If you don't believe us, ask Hermione how she felt about facing one in the girls' bathroom.
- Dementors – Not technically creatures, but their soul-sucking presence is enough to make anyone lose their will to live. Casting a good spell is your best defense!
The Odd and Overlooked
Some creatures don't get as much attention but are just as interesting.
- Kneazles – Cat-like creatures with a knack for sensing untrustworthy people. Hermione's cat, Crookshanks, was part-Kneazle.
- Merpeople – They're not the singing, beautiful mermaids of fairy tales. The ones in Harry Potter are fierce, intelligent, and a little eerie.
- House-Elves – Small, incredibly powerful magical beings bound to serve wizards. Dobby, everyone's favorite, proved just how much a free elf could accomplish.

You’re a curious Muggle-born! The wizarding world’s creatures still hold many mysteries for you, but that’s part of the adventure. Keep exploring, and soon you’ll be handling hippogriffs with confidence. Remember—always bow first!
I’m Surprised actually, I only read 3 pages of Harry Potter and watched one of the movie(it was not the first one so I had no idea what it was about). honestly I guessed on most, if not, all of the questions.
ahem, guys don’t judge..

I would have gotten it, I just read one of the words wrong!!!!!!!!!
Which one did you get wrong?
It wouldn’t let me select the right answer one question…so it claimed I got it wrong. Because it accepted the wrong answer…even though I had hit the right one 3-4 times.
You got 20 out of 22!

19/22. Hoped I would do better having read all the books and seen all the movies, some more than once. The filing system in my brain is probably a little muddled.
