Harry Potter Trivia
If you’re a true fan of the Harry Potter series, you’ll probably remember when the Expecto Patronum spell made its debut in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. That’s right—third year at Hogwarts, when Buckbeak was almost, well… decapitated (but let’s not dwell on that grisly part, shall we?). Thankfully, Harry, Hermione, and Ron had other plans!
It was Professor Lupin who first taught Harry how to cast the spell. But by the time Dumbledore’s Army was in full swing in year five, Expecto Patronum became one of the go-to spells for the students resisting You-Know-Who.
And here’s where things got exciting! You might’ve noticed that everyone summoned a Patronus unique to them—Hermione’s was a rabbit, for example. And what about Harry’s? Yep, his Patronus was a powerful stag with impressive antlers, just like his father’s!
For the die-hard fans, here’s a quick look at some of the well-known Patronuses from the series:
- Stag: Harry Potter, James Potter
- Doe: Lily Potter, Severus Snape
- Phoenix: Albus Dumbledore
- Wolf: Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Nymphadora Tonks
- Goat: Aberforth Dumbledore
- Cat: Minerva McGonagall, Dolores Umbridge
- Weasel: Arthur Weasley
- Jack Russell Terrier: Ron Weasley
And just to add a little more magic to the mix, some other Patronuses from Dumbledore’s Army included a swan, boar, fox, otter, and lynx.
Now, isn’t that the kind of trivia you want to flex at your next Harry Potter marathon?

How to Make a Patronus Quiz?
Now that we know different kinds of Patronus exist, we can easily get down to making the Patronus quiz. As the name suggests, we can make a quiz – “What Patronus am I?”
Let’s begin with the basics: understanding how the Quiz and Survey Master plugin works and how it will help us create an interesting Patronus Quiz.
Step 1: Installing the QSM Plugin
To create an awesome quiz, we require an excellent WordPress Quiz Plugin as well, am I right? We are using the Quiz and Survey Master Plugin to make this Patronus test.
Read the Quick Guide to Set up QSM Plugin
To install the QSM Plugin for your WordPress website, you first have to go to the Plugins menu on the official WordPress.org website.

Step 2: Patronus Test Questionnaire
Do you know what all quizzes have in common? The questions, duh! To create an astonishing Patronus Quiz, we will be required to make a Patronus Questionnaire, which consists of all the questions that correspond to finding your Patronus.
Let us understand this by an example. Harry Potter and Remus Lupin had different and opposite Patronus. This must point us to the fact that the Patronus is based on one’s internal personality.
Likewise, Harry and his late father have the same Patronus, the Stag. This shows how similar these personalities were, even when they were different and had the minimum time with each other.
Some questions for your Patronus Quiz:
- Which Hogwarts house are you a part of?
- Every wizard has a favorite subject in school. What is yours?
- Which of these classic spells is your favorite?

The dialog box will ask you to Input the theme for the quiz. Since it is a Harry Potter quiz, you have to choose the theme accordingly for it. The next dialog box will ask you to input the name of the quiz, which here is, “What Patronus Am I?“
After you have input the essential data, you can apply any add-on of your choice to the quiz from the Add-ons menu. These are some useful extensions for the quiz making it more engaging and interactive according to your requirements.

Further, you can add your questions. QSM Plugin allows you to add image answers and rich answer types other than text answers. In Image answers, you can add the URL of the Image, whereas in the Rich-answer type you can either add images from your computer or add interactive gifts to your quiz!
To your questions, you can add a description or a featured image, that can relate to the question or maybe explain your question. These little elements make the quizzes engaging and fun for the user.
After adding your questions, the next step is to optimize your result pages. This step is crucial to making your Patronus quiz a success. For example, we are going to make five different results pages for our Quiz.
The results that intersect with the Stag Patronus, could be seen in this format, where the condition is that the total points earned should be equal to or less than 5.
To make your results pages, even more fun, you can add some template variables or GIFs along with the description of the result. You can even add an option to share the results on Facebook or Twitter.
