On July 27-Aug. 1, 2015, Pages Unbound is hosting a week-long celebration of Harry Potter! The event leads readers on an interactive journey through their time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and features a variety of activities, quizzes, reflections, and guest posts. You’ll want to read the posts in order, so if you’re ever lost, you can head back to the event introduction post, where you will find a schedule and links to all the event activities.
It’s your fifth year at Hogwarts and time to take your O.W.L. exams. Read the questions below carefully and select your answers. Be sure to mark them down on a piece of paper. Record your score when you finish, as well; you’ll use this later during the adventure. You need 8 questions correct to pass. Good luck–and no cheating!
