Geocache Description:


THIS PUZZLE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES. YOU MUST SOLVE THE PUZZLE TO FIND THIS CACHE. I strongly suggest that you solve this puzzle before setting out to tackle this series. You will need a copy of the book, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" in order to solve this puzzle (only because JMunch insisted). Copies are readily available at any library or bookstore. NOTE: online versions of the book may not produce the correct solution due to formatting differences. In this third book, Harry Potter meets the Dementors, who are guarding Hogwarts School from the escaped "Prisoner of Azkaban." The prisoner is out to get Harry for an unknown reason that is revealed later. Caution: this VERY evil puzzle, created by He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named, may leave you demented! Hints of varying spoiler degrees will be available once there is a FTF, but you DO need the book. Once you have correct coords, the actual find will be quite easy....and the cache will be a prisoner no more! Congratulations to Pengvin for FTF! 11004303 20317207 10306404 40420203 31019401 31220405 30713403 41608202 31115104 21311003 21113101 30821702 31105901 10616506 20627005 31604503 20203907 21420404 11101702 41815906 31021405 10105403 40906606 40313203 42000402 Solve for the following coordinates: N36 35.???
