This series of 7 caches is for all the Harry Potter fans out there; who like us, are a bit sad that it’s now all over.
It doesn’t matter if you are not a Harry Potter fan, as all the puzzles can be completed without any in-depth knowledge. Most puzzles should be solvable by young fans – with the exception of #7 which will need a bit of maths knowledge.
Once solved, the caches make a circular walk of about 3 miles, and 2 church micros can be picked up on the way round. Parts of the walk can be muddy (especially between 5 and 6). Bring a pen and tweezers.

These are three powerful magical objects:- the Resurrection Stone, the Cloak of Invisibility and the Elder Wand, which are symbolised by a circle within a triangle with a perpendicular line down the centre.
In the Deathly Hallows symbol below, the area of the circle will give you the Northings. Assume Pi is 3.14159 and N52. Round your answer to three decimal places.
