The Chase star Darragh Ennis has challenged his online followers to an ‘elite’ level Harry Potter quiz, and has said it’s so tough no one will be able to answer them all correctly
Does your Harry Potter knowledge level that of The Chase’s Darragh Ennis?
Those who have watched ITV’s quiz show The Chase will know how hard it is to go up against The Menace – one of the six chasers on the show. Darragh joined the show in 2020, having previously impressed host Bradley Walsh as a contestant.
When Darragh doesn’t appear on the TV show, he works as a neuroscientist and entomologist – and he also likes to make informative TikToks. Lately he’s also enjoyed challenging his 164k followers to quizzes – to see if people can “beat a quiz by The Menace”.
Recently, the 43-year-old challenged fans to a Harry Potter quiz, and said it was “so tough” no one would get all five answers correctly. However, it turns out the quiz was too easy for some people, including his own sister – so he’s now made an “elite level” quiz – which he says no one will be able to beat.
“My Harry Potter quiz was apparently too easy for the mega nerds, and yes I’m including you in that, sister dearest. So this timke, it’s going to start tricky and just get tougher. I don’t think anybody’s getting all five of these,” he explained.
Below you can see all the questions. Give yourself some time to answer, before scrolling further down to see all the answers.
1. Accio is the summoning charm but what is the incantation for its opposite, the banishing charm?
2. What was the first password for Gryffindor Tower used by Harry in the first book?
3. Which Wizard features in the tapestry opposite the room of requirement?
4. What is Ron Weasley’s middle name?
5. In what position and what club did Gwenog Jones play Quidditch?
Answers:
1. The Banishing charm is depulso
2. The First password used is Caput Draconis
3. Barnabus the Barmy teaching trolls ballet is what’s on the tapestry opposite the Room of Requirement
4. Ron’s middle name is Bilius
5. Gwenog Jones plays a beater for the Holyhead Harpies
While it seems the quiz definitely challenged some of the Harry Potter superfans – others claim they managed to get them all right. “Somehow I got 5/5!! Possibly the fact that I’ve listened to the audiobooks every night for over 20 years…,” claimed one person.
However, someone else said: “4/5 had no idea about the tapestry,” and another added: “I only knew the password one. I thought Ron’s middle name was Arthur, but it must be one of the others.”
