Geocache Description:

Final bonus puzzle cache for chloboo and monkeydogfish's Harry Potter series of caches.

chloboo:

This is the bonus cache for the Chloboo HP Series. As soon as I got into geocaching, I decided that one favorite book series of mine could be a theme. In each of the caches in this series, there will be a clue. Write down the clue given or remember. Using all the clues, the last cache will give you a hint of how to put the clues together to get secret and special coords to this final, grand, "Giant" cache, "Thank you, J.K. Rowling!" Please do not post answer of the clues on the log. It ruins the fun for others. Not Good!

The final bonus cache is finally out!!! This cache was placed here to thank J.K. Rowling for creating the Harry Potter Series! Hopefully, as you found all the other caches in this series, you took pictures or at least wrote down the clues. You will need whatever information you took to find this final cache. For first to find (like usual) there is a homemade grand "Thank You J.K. Rowling!'"tag. Use your information to solve the small puzzle beneath. But, you will need to find all the caches beforehand, for there are some unnecessary "boodle" clues trying to fool you. Also, to remind you, we will be placing this cache on J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter's Birthday (July 31), so don't forget to wish them a happy birthday!

We hope you have found this series very fun and interesting! Good Luck!

monkeydogfish:

This is the bonus cache for a series of geocaches celebrating J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. Soon after we started geocaching, chloboo, being a big Harry Potter reader, came up with the idea to hide a series of Harry Potter caches, one for each book, with a final large bonus geocache called "Thank you, J.K. Rowling!" In each one of chloboo's HP caches, there is a clue for this last one. Use the clues to solve the puzzle below and get the final coordinates for the bonus cache.

Here are all the caches in the series that contain the clues:
Chloboo's HP series #1 - Sorcerer's Stone
Chloboo's HP series #2 - Chamber of Secrets
Chloboo's HP series #3 - Prisoner of Azkaban
Chloboo's HP series #4 - Goblet of Fire
Chloboo's HP series #5 - Order of the Phoenix
Chloboo's HP series #6 - Half-Blood Prince
Chloboo's HP series #7 - Deathly Hallows

This is a large container loaded with lots of swag for muggles and wizards alike. There's some books, some toys, and some magical objects. Don't forget to bring some nice stuff to trade!
