About This Quiz

The Harry Potter series has pleased fans for years, and with the release of the "Fantastic Beasts" series, it doesn't look as though it will ever let up. J.K. Rowling has created the ultimate universe with a rich history and educational structure that will keep the stories coming for generations. While many of us love the books more than any other version, the movies are what really draw people in. And once people start watching the movies they fall in love with the characters. We can spot a character from a simple description; we know each character's hopes and dreams, and we know whether or not the character is a bad guy or a good guy. Additionally, we know what their facial expressions mean, how they look when their face rests and what they look like when they're casting a spell.

You probably could name every character from the Harry Potter movie and book series, but do you think you can figure out who's who if their eyebrows are missing?
