Would you survive the Battle of Hogwarts

The Battle of Hogwarts is raging throughout the castle and the grounds. Will you survive?

Lets start simple. Which Hogwarts house are you in? Gryffindor Hufflepuff Ravenclaw Slytherin

Harry arrives at Hogwarts, and says he needs help finding some items. What do you do? Help him, of course. Anything to help defeat Voldemort Tell Snape immediately, and hope he gets a message to the Dark Lord. Leave him to it. How much can you really help anyway?

Harry confronts Snape in the great hall, and raises his wand. Tell Snape everything you know to help. Stand with Harry. It's time to avenge Dumbledore's death! Stay quiet. Don't draw attention to yourself. This isn't your fight. Open the door and let the Order in. The more people who can defend the castle, the better!

Voldemort's voice possesses everybody in the castle. "Bring me Harry Potter and none shall die" he says. Stay quiet. You don't want to turn Harry over, but you're afraid of the fight. Just let things take their natural course. Turn Harry in. No one person is worth the bloodshed of the battle to come. You'll never turn him in! And you'll fight anybody who tries! Kill him yourself.

McGonagall announces that anybody who wishes to fight, may do so. What do you do? You fight, of course. You'll stand with Harry to the end! You'll help defend the castle. If the Death Eaters can't get in, they can't hurt the innocent people inside. This all sounds like a bit much. You head back to the dorm and wait for it all to blow over. You're going to fight... but not for Harry or Hogwarts. The Dark Lord is your true master.

Professor Flitwich, Professor Slughorn, Madam Pomfrey, and many others begin casting a shield charm around the castle. Join in, and help. If you can make the charm even a tiny bit more powerful it'll be worth it. They've got this covered. You need to help Harry find the Horcruxes. This is just one line of defence. You need to try other protective enchantments too. If you can destroy it from the inside, the Dark Lord will reward you greatly.

After being bombarded with curses, the forcefield begins to fall. Death eaters begin charging towards the castle, and spells fly towards you. Man the boundaries and stop the death eaters invading the castle. Whatever it takes! Retreat to your dormitory. The safety precautions didn't work. Time to lay low. Head back into the castle. There are young students who need protecting. The castle doesn't stand a chance. It's time to join the Death Eaters and take the school down!

You see Fenrir Greyback plunge his teeth into the neck of Lavender Brown. As he does so, he looks directly at you. Run. It's too late for Lavender, but not for you! Fire curses at the werewolf and stop him. You have to save Lavender from this savagery! Grab a nearby first year and throw them at Greyback as bait, hopefully distracting him long enough for you to get away. Slowly back away. He may have seen you, but he's probably too busy with Lavender to chase you.

You come across the Death Eater, Dolohov, dueling with Lupin. Suddenly, purple flames erupt from Dolohov's wand and Lupin falls to the floor. "Nice one Dolohov" you call. You always hated that werewolf blood traitor, Lupin. You must avenge Lupin's death. You fire every curse you can think of at Dolohov until he turns and flees. Run and hide. Dolohov's skills, if he can kill Lupin, far outweigh your own. You have to find Tonks and tell her. Hopefully she'll leave the battle- you don't want her baby to grow up without any parents.

You emerge from the castle, and see dozens of groups of Death Eaters, Hogwarts Teachers, Students, and magical creatures duelling in the grounds. Nearby, a giant and acromantula move towards you. Fire curses at them to try to stop them coming for you! They're heading towards the castle. You must act as bait to lead them in the other direction. Try to convince them to start attacking each other, rather than coming for you. RUN LIKE CRAZY! There's no way you can take on a fully grown acromantula and a giant!

An explosion on your left catches your attention. As you look around you see the body of Fred Weasley spread lifeless on the floor. His older brother, Percy, collapses to his knees beside him. You have to help Percy get the body to safety. Good. One less Weasley is a wonderful thing for the Wizarding World. You wait for Percy to move the body into the castle, and then use an enchantment to rebuild the wall. Hogwarts needs all the defences it can get. It's, unfortunately, too late for Fred. You must get back to the battle and help.

After another message from Voldemort, the battle comes to a brief halt, and Harry makes his way, alone, to the forbidden forrest. He shouldn't go alone. Sneak out after him, in case he needs backup. Harry's got this covered. Use the time to help heal the wounded in the castle. The castle's protective enchantments need replenishing. That's what you'll focus on. Follow Potter to make sure he doesn't run away at the last minute. Maybe the Dark Lord will believe you delivered him personally.

Voldemort brings Harry's seemingly lifeless body up to the castle. He announces that he has won, and anybody who wishes to live should join him. Join Neville in telling everyone that it's not over. You can still win. Harry would not want you to give up! Fire a killing curse at Voldemort. He thinks he's won, and he's vulnerable. Run and hide. If Harry Potter is dead, it's over. Fleeing is your only way to survive. Join Voldemort. He will welcome you with open arms.

It turns out Harry isn't dead, and now you find yourself in the Great Hall. Neville slashes Nagini's head off with the Sword of Gryffindor, and Voldemort turns to him in a furious rage. Help Neville. Stand beside him as he duels Voldemort. Twice the fire power! Help Voldemort. This is the make-or-break moment, and you can prove your worth to the Dark Lord by killing Longbottom. Keep your distance, but cast shield charms around Neville subtly. Looks like, erm, everyone's got this under control. Time to head off...

As you cross the Great Hall, you see Molly Weasley locked in a duel with Bellatrix Lestrange, the latter's maniacal laughter filling the hall. Curse Bellatrix. Time to end her murderous rampage once and for all! Curse Molly. Bellatrix is in the Dark Lord's inner circle. Help her, and you'll surely become a top Death Eater. Molly has this covered. Time to see if anybody else needs your help. Bellatrix is fighting to kill. You cast protective charms on Molly from a safe distance away.

It's all come down to this. Harry and Voldemort in a one-on-one duel in the courtyard. A battle of words to start with, evolving into a duel, which, Harry wins! Voldemort is killed by his own rebounded curse, and falls lifelessly to the ground. You cheer, feeling jubilation you've never felt before. It's over. The fighting can end at long last. You release a huge sigh of relief. Nobody else has to die. You collapse to the ground, relieved, and ready to rest. The immediate danger is over. Are there more death eaters? Where are the people you care about? It's not over yet, back to the castle! Shoot a killing curse at Harry. Voldemort may be gone, but his legacy is not. If you did what Tom Riddle could not, you'll be heralded as the greatest dark wizard of all time.
