The Chase's Darragh Ennis challenges Harry Potter fans to ace 'impossible' quiz
Think you're a wizard at Harry Potter trivia? The Chase's very own Darragh Ennis, aka The Menace, has conjured up a quiz to put your fandom to the ultimate test.
When he's not on ITV stumping contestants with his encyclopaedic knowledge, The Menace is dishing out challenges on TikTok for muggles and wizards alike.
Recently, Dublin-native Darragh whipped up a batch of fiendishly difficult Harry Potter questions, claiming they'd be "impossible" to nail for all but the most devoted fans.
Darragh's latest TikTok teaser throws down the gauntlet with five Potter-centric posers, each more bewitching than the last.
He's thrown down the gauntlet, asserting that "most" won't crack all five, while allowing that hardcore "mega-fans" might just flaunt their magical prowess by smashing the challenge, reports the Mirror.
The five questions Darragh posed are:.
For the first question, Darragh said won't be accepting vague answers; he expects both the street name and house number for full marks
He even slipped in a clue for the fourth question, reminding us that A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration pops up on Harry's first-year book list, something he would've snagged during his Diagon Alley spree with Hagrid.
Think you've sussed out all five brain-teasers?
Hold on if you're still mulling them over, because we're about to reveal the answers.
Revealing the solutions in his latest video, Darragh shared:
The Chase star highlighted that figuring out Emeric Switch as the correct response for the book author question was notably "tough" and tipped his hat to those who got it right.
He further explained that Professor Snape's non-Hogwarts abode is on Spinners End, which he described as a particularly obscure detail.
The reactions to the quiz were mixed among viewers, with some flexing their trivia muscles, claiming the challenge was "so easy", while others admitted defeat, finding themselves flummoxed by the trickier queries.
One viewer boasted: "I got 4/5. Who remembers the authors of random textbooks?"
Meanwhile, another proud Potterhead revealed: "Every time I reread the books, I make sure I know who wrote every one of Harry's set books, just in case they come up in trivia, and it finally did!".

Graham Norton reveals details of his biggest show yet
Graham Norton has said his new big prizemoney reality TV show The Neighbourhood is the biggest thing he has ever been associated with. The Irish chat show host, author and comedian will present the new ITV programme, which airs next year and which sees six households compete for a £250,000 while living in a lakeside housing development in Darbyshire. Speaking on the Brendan O'Connor Show on RTÉ Radio 1 on Saturday morning, Norton said, "It's mad. It's the biggest thing I've ever been associated with. "It's these houses around a lake in Darbyshire and real households move into them and they live there 24/7, being filmed all the time, and they also have to play these epic challenges and at the end one of the families wins a quarter of a million pounds. "It's life-affirming. None of the households is the villain. Equally, it was competitive in a way I didn't expect it to be at the beginning but there are only six households and you're close to the prize from day one. There was a bit of people turning on each other but I really liked all the households and I wasn't expecting to." Speaking about is annual summer stay in West Cork, where his mother Rhona still lives, 62-year-old Norton, who married his husband Jonathan McLeod in 2022, said his visits became a big part of his life when he bought his own house in the area. "That was about 15 years ago and now we go back as much as we can because it's a lovely part of the world. I love driving in and the tyres are on the gravel and you turn the engine in the car off and everything just disperses and it's so weightless. It's gorgeous. "I'm a lazy version of myself when I'm there. I do less." Norton will again host the annual table quiz at the end of July and he will be taking part in the West Cork Literary Festival to speak about his new book, Frankie.
