Your HP quotient:
0-3: Friend of Dudley Dursley
You may have bought Rowling’s first novel, “The Sorcerer’s Stone,” and watched a few movies, but you know as little about the wizarding world as Dudley Dursley.
4-7: Muggle born, magic bound
Terms like Hogsmeade, Gringotts and horcrux sound familiar to you, but you’re hazy on the details. All Muggles must study up to succeed in a world of talented wizards, so return to the series for a closer read.
8-10: Member of Dumbledore’s Army
Congratulations! You are a true Harry Potter fan. In fact, you’re so knowledgeable about the wizarding world, you could fight He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named alongside Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom, Ginny Weasley and the rest of Dumbledore’s Army.
