Thanks for the Magic is a series of various cache types ranging from micro to large. There are seven caches that contain a multiple choice question that you will need in order to solve the location of the eighth and final cache. The first 7 caches can be done in any order you choose. These are the first caches we've placed, and we created them as a family, with input from our 1, 3 and 6 year olds (so most of them are near playgrounds) and they are all in kid friendly locations. We're hoping to get these placed in time for the BC Geocaching Blitz 2011; the theme is 'Thanks'. Our thanks go to the magic of geocaching and Harry Potter, which are two things our family enjoys together.
IMPORTANT!
THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS WILL NOT OPEN UNLESS THE MAGIC WORD IS USED - UNFORTUNATELY, A MEMORY CHARM HAS SCRAMBLED UP THE MAGIC PHRASE!
HELP HARRY TO REMEMBER THE MAGIC WORD BY RETRACING HIS PREVIOUS STEPS AND PLACING THEM IN THE CORRECT ORDER:

The Chamber of Secrets was home to an ancient Basilisk, intended to be used to purge the school of Muggle-born students. Salazar Slytherin, one of the founders of Hogwarts, built the Chamber before he left the school. If you choose to seek The Chamber of Secrets, be warned, the entrance is hidden out of view of muggles, as you'll need time to figure out how to open the puzzle box.
Opening the chamber is the only way to stop He Who Must Not Be Named and claim credit for finding this cache.

Please do not use excessive force, disassemble or smash the container in frustration. There are 2 compartments to open, one for the log, and one for small trades. If you can't get it open, check the hint or E-mail us for help. Bring your own pen to sign the log.
P.S. There's a playground nearby with a picnic table, but no bathrooms.
P.P.S. A flashlight may help!
