Hey love!

By , do you mean 12 Grimmauld Place, or do you mean the Black family? It could go either way with that wording lol.

But do you mean the first time we see one of the members of the Black House? Or the first time the entire House of Black is introduced, like the family tree/history?

I'm taking it as the actual phrase and concept of the "House of Black," ancient pureblood family and all that. Correct me if I'm wrong please.

Poppet is right. It is literally what it says (The Family/Purebloods) not what it could be (the actual house). Was the House of Black first mention in Order of the Phoenix or not. I hope this helps.

Just to add just in case anyone else is confused both House of Black and 12 Grimmauld Place were introduced in the same book. Which either way the thought process goes the statement will still give you the same answer. :D

Okay cool. I just wasn't sure, cause it could be a trick question (as in, when was the FIRST House of Black person mentioned). Just wanted to make sure :)

It seems there was some confusion with some statements. Please, keep in mind that if one detail, fact, or phrase of the statement is wrong then the whole statement is not true/false.

The same can be said if a statement only uses one fact that is true then the statement is true.

(For example: The portkeys statement. There were other options but I only offered 1 fact in the statement which was true.)

Even when I make tricky statements I still stick to true or false facts. Hope this helps!

Answers:

  1. False - one witch or wizard makes an oath to another. If either of the two break their terms,they die.
  2. False - Ganymede is the largest of Jupiter's moons. "Jupiter's biggest moon is Ganymede, not Callisto..."
  3. True - Both the House of Black and the house of Black (12 Grimmauld Place) were both introduced in the same book. Order of the Phoenix.
  4. False - A Puffskein is covered in soft fur and spherical in shape.
  5. TrueRevelio is a charm used to reveal concealed objects.
  6. False - is the incantation of a charm that can be used by a witch or wizard to slow the movement of an object.
  7. False – Luck potion
  8. True - Orreries are models of the sun, planets and moons of the solar system, used for studying Astronomy. Sybill Trelawney used one of all nine planets (including Pluto) while teaching Astrology during Divination in 1995.
  9. True- Bartholomeus is a constellation discovered on or before 30 December, 1997. Its discovery was reported in The Quibbler.
  10. True- Before the creation of the Hogwarts Express, Portkeys were used as a means of transportation to not draw the attention of Muggles.
