98 free Fantastic Beasts trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
40 free Fantastic Beasts trivia questions with answers. The Fantastic Beasts films took the Wizarding World back to 1920s New York and then across Europe, and this quiz covers all three of them. Forty questions run through Newt Scamander's suitcase and the creatures inside it, Tina and Queenie Goldstein, Jacob Kowalski and his bakery, MACUSA and President Picquery, Credence and the Obscurial, Percival Graves and the Grindelwald reveal, the blood pact, Leta Lestrange, Nagini and Nicolas Flamel in Paris, the qilin and the election in Bhutan, and the truth about Aurelius Dumbledore. It also covers the making of the series: J.K. Rowling's screenwriting debut, the 2001 charity book, the Oscar for costume design, the Depp-to-Mikkelsen recast, the box office slide and the plan for five films that stopped at three. Easy questions ask which house Newt was in and what a No-Maj is; the hard ones want the goblin who runs the Blind Pig, the prison in Berlin and the year Newt was born. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's articles on the films and characters, and each question carries the sentence that supports it.
