CONGRATULATIONS TO PENGVIN FOR FTF!!!
In this book, Harry starts on his quest to destroy Voldemort. He learns something about horcruxes from Dumbledore, and this sets the stage for the final book. This Quest is harrowing at times, and yet Harry still has to do his school work at Hogwarts. With the help of an old potions book, he finds himself excelling in potions, which arouses the suspicion of Snape, Harry's sworn enemy. Still, there's nothing Snape can do as Harry works both as a student, and goes on his initial quest to find and finish Lord Voldemort.
To solve for the final, you must answer the following questions at the location of the initial coordinates. The location should be obvious.

B=1st digit of opening hours, Saturday
C=# of letters of day of the week this is closed.
D=# of hours this is open Monday through Friday, - 1 hour
E and F=last two digits of closing time on Wednesday.
Checksum for A-C=21, D-F=11
Once you have the coordinates, you will proceed to your final, where you must have solved this puzzle in order to get the cache.
NOTE: Hours for the final location are: Monday through Wednesday 12-8, Thursday through Saturday 10-6, closed Sunday. (Update-open Sunday starting July 28th, 2013. Hours will be from 1-5).
