When asked by my lovely wife Wendy (bcat) why I was spending so
much time in front of the PC with a ton of Geocaching pages open, I
replied that I was addicted to making puzzle caches. She thought
about this for a while, then thrilled me by asking me to help her
make a puzzle cache of her own. If anyone knows their Harry Potter,
it is she. She has been on top of the Potter World since the first
Rowling release.
Wendy has devised these questions to test the knowledge of other
Potter Heads. She has informed me that the questions will not be
solvable by those who have just simply seen the movies. Books must
be cracked to continue. Each question must be answered correctly in
order to derive the final coordinates where the cache is hidden.
You will take each correct answer and extract certain specified
letters. Each letter corresponds with a one-digit numerical value
as specified below in the master key. Best of luck. :)
The cache is hidden at N 30 2A.BCD, W 097
4E.FGH
UPDATE 04/21/06: Question C has been amended as per a consensus
from Paul (HiDude_98), Curtis (Stratman), and Wendy (bcat).
