As on the driver's license test, I tried for legal answers, not what
would I really do. I read the questions from the Lexicon
http://www.hp-lexicon.org/wizworld/wombat.html and sometimes their
commentary is like what I think, and sometimes not.
Part One, Magical Law.
1. c. Misuse of Muggle Artifacts
2. f. None of the above
3. c. Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, Obliviator
Squad, and Improper Use of Magic Office.
4. b. Wizengamot
Because I think it's a civil case over who owns the field, and I
don't know of any other wizarding courts.
5. f. None of the above
Because I don't think it's illegal to use a Love Potion on a
Muggle man, and I don't think that one does to one's own husband
counts as Muggle-baiting. Still, I am concerned whether she is
endangering wizarding secrecy.
6. d. The use of the Imperius Curse on a Muggle mugger.
Because Fake!Moody said that using any Unforgivable Curse on a
human would get you a life sentence in Azkaban.
7. a. Horns created accidentally on a culprit's mother, caused by
broken wand.
Because the reception desk at St Mungo's was full of similar
(except apparently not accidental) cases (on the day after Christmas)
and there were no Improper Use of Magic officers waiting there to take
the patients and their family members into custody.
8. c. House Elf Ownership
Because we know Crup ownership and Apparition do, so guess
between the other two. Harry owns a House Elf by inheritance and no
one suggested that he should get a license.
9. d. The guidelines on house-elf welfare (need to be enforced)
Part Two, Magical Transport
10. c. Floo Powder
Apparation, Knight Bus, and Portkey won't work for the reasons
discussed, so guess between Floo Powder and Broomsticks. We've seen
ads for a broomstick that seats the whole family, but Floo requires a
shorter time of restraining the twins. (Can dad carry one of them?)
11. d. Flying Muggle vehicle
Maybe because I was confused because Flying Muggle Vehicles are
already illegal under a different law.
12. a. Brooms
A wild guess, but I think a Floo Powderm fireplace on Azkaban
would make escape too easy.
13. I don't remember what I answered. I don't think any of those will
get you closer than the front steps (because of goblin security
spells) and I dunno where the nearest fireplace for Floo Powder is.
(The one Harry missed when he fell into Knockturn Alley instead.)
14. c. Brooms/Knight Bus
15. e. Brooms/Floo Powder/ Knight Bus/ Apparation
16. another wild guess
Part Three, Everyday Magic
17. b. Muggle-repelling Charm
18. b. Bubotuber pus
What it did to Hermione's hands, I don't want it to do to my
stomach!
19. d. Evanesco
20. c. Dittany
Another wild guess. Probably it should be e. Murtlap essence.
21. c. Releasing a Portkey before it has arrived will result in death
or serious injury.
Part Four, The Natural World
22. d. Kneazle
23. e. Horklump
24. a. an Animagus
25. g. Whomping Willow
Another wild guess.
