Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are FALSE. Answer some questions from the book "Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows" to get the REAL coordinates. Large Ammo can.

This is the seventh and FINAL installment of the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling . Harry is trying to find the remaining Horcruxes and then destroy them in order for him to rid the world of Lord Voldemort ( don't gasp or fall over- "fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself." Albus Dumbledore).

***WARNING... If you haven't read the book yet...
1) There are some spoilers here- don't blame me!!
2) Why would you bother even trying to solve this puzzle... Unless you don't really need to have read it yet... or at all... If you have been a follower of This HP Series of caches- from the beginning

Start N
A) When the Snitch is opened- how many of his loved ones does Harry see? _
B) "Dawlish, the Auror, let slip that Potter will not be moved until the _ _ , the night before the boy turns seventeen." _ _
C) "Undesirable Number _," Harry muttered under his breath as he replaced Mr Weasley's folder and shut the drawer. _
D) Lily Potter
Born 30 January 1960
Died 31 October 19_ _
E) Harry had plunged his hand into this mulch, experienced a stabbing pain in the _ finger of his right hand, and withdrawn it to see a lot of blood. _

Then W
A) How many times did Neville's Gran reprimand, talk down to, or just seem dissapointed with him in this book? _
B) How many Harry Potters left Number 4 Privet Drive? _
C) "Hawthorn and unicorn hair. _ _ inches precisely. Resonably springy. This was the wand of Draco Malfoy." _ _
D) "You know it only rises about _ feet the ground, but he nearly killed the cat and smashed a horrible vase Petunia sent me for Christmas (no complaints there)". _
E) Today he might have been _ _ years old again, the only one who collapsed on the Hogwarts express. _ _
F) "And that's the _ time we've saved your life tonight, you two-faced @#*^%+& ! " _ ( Ron always had a way with words :) )

"You are the true master of death, because the true master does not seek to run away from Death. He accepts that he must die, and understands that there are far, far worse things in the living world than dying." Albus Dumbledore

In POA (the movie), Dumbledore says "when in doubt, I find it useful to re-trace my steps". This is VERY IMPORTANT to those of you who struggled on these puzzles- especially for some of you on the first one. It's as if Alfonso Cuarón studied Divination and Prophesies.

Cache is filled with the usual HP SWAG-
For FTF/STF/TTF/FTF- Unactivated Trackable Lizardtoadz decypher coin (comes in pouch with lizard pin), 5$ Where's George bill,clip pens.

*** sometimes no matter how clear the hints are for caches, some have been determined to follow their own ideas about their final locations and have arrived too early.

After a few more logs- I'll tell you a funny story about this cache

8/06/07- I had been planning the cache placement for a long time. A lot of cachers had been here looking for HP and the Sorcerer's Stone due to one answer to the puzzle that had 2 possible answers (I still say only 1 -hee..hee) which put the cache approx 1/2 mile or so away from here- but I was told this area was a great location for caches. Well, I was worried the area would be taken by someone else, so instead of just virtually placing a cache in the area to hold the spot, I placed this cache a month early- no one had been to this area by accident for a long time because of added hints to the other cache page...I felt I was safe...when I got a message from Team Gray Kitty that they had "accidently" found Deathly cache..before It was published!!! After my initial shock- and a little dismay- I thought it was kind of funny- and was going to place another ftf prize and add a note for ftf to explain. TGK actually went back and returned the FTF prize- saying they didn't feel right keeping it because the cache wasn't published yet. I feel they do deserve recognition for ftf pre-published and I'm holding a coin for them for their prize- I hope to cross paths with them soon!! mama
