49 free Draco Malfoy trivia questions with answers — literature quiz, new questions added Sep 2026.
Draco Malfoy is Harry Potter's schoolboy rival, the sneering Slytherin who offers a handshake on the Hogwarts Express and spends the next six years regretting that Harry turned it down. J. K. Rowling built him from bullies she met at school, nearly called him Draco Spungen, and eventually gave him the most important accidental act in the series: disarming Dumbledore on the Astronomy Tower and becoming master of the Elder Wand without ever touching it. This quiz runs from Madam Malkin's to King's Cross. It covers the Nimbus 2001 bribe that made him Seeker, the hippogriff injury he milked, Hermione's punch, the ferret, the Inquisitorial Squad, the Vanishing Cabinet, Sectumsempra, the Malfoy Manor identification and the epilogue. It also covers Tom Felton's casting and MTV awards, the Cursed Child actors, Draco's hawthorn wand, his missing Patronus and the wizard-rock band named after him. Fifty questions, four options each, with a short explanation after every answer. Play on your phone or print it for a Harry Potter quiz night.
