The Chase star Darragh Ennis regularly shares his own quizzes online, and one recent one was designed to challenge Harry Potter fans with some fiendishly difficult questions
If you reckon yourself a top-tier Harry Potter fan, then this quiz from The Chase sensation Darragh Ennis will surely test your magical mettle. Better known to fans as The Menace, the ITV quiz maestro usually spends his time thwarting hopefuls from bagging big money with his remarkable trivia talent.
Offscreen, the brainy chaser flexes his quiz muscles on TikTok, challenging users to match his knowledge through themed quizzes. Recently, he conjured up a set of particularly tricky questions aimed at Harry Potter enthusiasts, as he claimed that it would be nearly “impossible” for even the biggest fans to get every question right.
Darragh’s latest challenge features five Potter-themed questions, cunningly crafted to escalate in difficulty as contestants progress through the quiz.
He declared that “most” people won’t be able to answer all five questions correctly, but conceded that true “mega-fans” might just prove their wizardry levels by acing the test.
The five questions Darragh set were:
- What is the address of the Dursleys?
- At platform nine and three-quarters of what train station does Harry catch the Hogwarts Express?
- Who is the landlady of the Three Broomsticks pub in Hogsmeade?
- Who wrote the magical textbook, A Beginner’s Guide to Transfiguration?
- Which character lived on a street called Spinners End?
For that first question, Darragh said won’t be charmed by vague answers; he expects both the street name and house number for full marks.
He also gave a slight hint that the book, A Beginner’s Guide to Transfiguration, is one of the titles on Harry’s book list for his first year at Hogwarts, so he would have picked it up while shopping for his supplies with Hagrid.
Do you reckon you’ve worked out all five answers? If you’re still puzzling over them, don’t scroll any further, because we’re about to reveal the solutions.
Answers
Darragh unveiled the following answers in his clip:
- No. 4 Privet Drive
- King’s Cross station in London
- Madame Rosemerta
- Emeric Switch
- Professor Snape
The telly favourite pointed out that nailing Emeric Switch as the answer for the book author query was particularly “tough” and gave kudos to anyone who managed to crack it. He also clarified that Professor Snape lives at an address on Spinners End when he isn’t at Hogwarts, making it a very niche question.
Viewers of the video didn’t hesitate to boast or bemoan their quiz performance. Some bragged that the challenge was “so easy”, while others confessed they were stumped by some of the more perplexing questions.
One viewer commented: “I got 4/5. Who remembers the authors of random textbooks?” Another said: “Every time I reread the books, I make sure I know who wrote every one of Harry’s set books, just in case they come up in trivia, and it finally did!”
