• The locations are: GARDEN, SCHOOL, HOME, X, PRISON, LOST, QUIDDITCH TRAVELLING and MORTAL PERIL.
• It is ironic that X is listed on the clock in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It is implied a few times in the series that wizards have no use for X.

3) •Given are two pages from the book Fantastic Beasts and where to find them. There are marginalia on these pages. Whose marginalia?
4)• Dolores Umbridge claimed to be related to a family in 1997, lying about how she obtained Salazar Slytherin's Locket.
• Umbridge took it as a bribe from Mundungus Fletcher, but told Hermione Granger, who was disguised as Mafalda Hopkirk through use of Polyjuice Potion, that it was an old family heirloom. She was likely lying to "bolster her own pure-blood credentials”.
• X is an uncommon surname of Anglo-Saxon origin derived from the words "castle", and "friend". It is also the name of a mountain range in the Canadian Rockies, and a Cambridge College.

MUGGLE QUIDDITCH• The sport was created in 2005 at Middlebury College
in Middlebury, Vermont by Xander Manshel and Alex Benepe, who later became the first commissioner of quidditch.
• Three circular goals are placed on either side of the pitch. The goals are often circular tubes on top of PVC pipes. All players are required to carry a broom between their legs at all times, otherwise they are considered "off their brooms“.
• The snitch is a tennis ball placed at the bottom of a yellow long sock which is attached to the back of the snitch runner's shorts as if it were a tail.
8) • According to Rowling herself, the first names of Albus Dumbledore and X were chosen based on "the white" and "the red", which were considered essential mystical components of alchemy.
• X was given the red for passion or emotion.• X’s name is derived from a nightmare in English
folklore. • According to folklore, the witch sat on a sleeper's
chest and sent nightmares to him or her. When the subject awoke, he or she would be unable to breathe or even move for a short period of time. This state is now called sleep paralysis.
• ID X
RUBEUS HAGRID
9) •X was the location where Kwidditch evolved. In the eleventh century, local resident Gertie Keddle recorded in her diary the antics of wizards and witches playing a broomstick mounted game.
•Her diary revealed the presence of a leather ball, flying rocks and the idea of passing the leather ball to each other, then trying to score points by throwing the ball into the trees .
• In the real world "quidditch" is a dialect English word for a type of ditch, and came from Anglo-Saxon meaning "mud-ditch".
•ID X WHERE QUIDDITCH EVOLVED FROM
10)• It is thought by some that Thestral tail hair makes for a unique personality; completely dispassionate and showing no emotion towards the wizard, thereby connecting with the lore of artefact X.
• There is also a school of thought that says that the Thestrals’ connection to the concept of death is another key factor in the many deaths surrounding X.
• Yet as Hagrid claims, Thestrals maybe the victims of superstition and X’s nature maybe due a reflection on power and the allure it has for some people.
• What is X?
11)• On 22 August, 1994, Viktor Krum used the X in the final of the Quidditch World Cup against Ireland. Krum successfully tricked the Ireland Seeker, Aidan Lynch, into diving into the ground, allowing Krum a few moments to look for the Snitch without interference.
• On 22 May, 2014, German Seeker Thorsten Pfeffer attempted the X in his team's match against Wales. However, he failed to pull up out of it in time and collided with the ground at an estimated sixty miles per hour. Pfeffer managed to survive the collision due to the rapid administration of Skele-Gro, though he had broken most of the bones in his body.
• Oddly, Harry Potter was eager to try it out after seeing Krum do it, but he had already performed it (or something very similar) during the last school year against Cho Chang.
