About This Quiz

We're all human, or at least most of us are, and with that, comes bad decision making. Everyone slips up now and then, and it'll be something we continue to do until we leave this earth. Fortunately, there are things such as 'forgiveness' and 'redemption' that make our bad decisions a little less painful.

But today, we don't want you to feel bad for making not-so-great decisions. In fact, we want you to do some crazy things, and we want you to do them in Diagon Alley - one of the magical places in the Harry Potter world.

We want you to buy some Hogwarts contraband from the Weasley brothers. We want you to wreak havoc at the Magical Menagerie, and we want you to tell us which Death Eater would be your bestie. Will you end up being the Dark Lord himself? Will you be his pompous and uptight follower, Lucius Malfoy? Will you be the biggest betrayer ever, Peter Pettigrew? Or will you be someone far more sinister than all three combined, Dolores Umbridge? We're just as curious as you are.

So, if you want to find out which wizard or which villain you have the most in common with by breaking some rules in the wizarding world, take our quiz!
