runner5ive: It is with great regret that I am archiving the Harry Potter series.
Being a CO is a great responsibility. I was willing to take on that responsibility, but I have since taken on other responsibilities. I won’t be archiving ALL my caches, I have chosen the Harry Potter series to archive for now.
It started off with the Philosopher’s Stone, then I had a puzzle idea and place for Order of the Phoenix, and I was very happy with those two. After that, I rushed the rest out to create a series. I’ve always felt that I could have done better with more time and patience and dedication.
They don’t get found much any more, so I think they’ve run their course. I seem to be doing more maintenance on them than they are getting logged.
Additionally, the author of the eponymous books does not instil me with much pride any more.
Thank you everyone who has taken the time to find this cache. It was really hard to let this one go, it was one of my favourites. I tried to make it fun for kids with an easy puzzle and a magic box as a cache, and I found a place for it that is really pretty at certain times of the year. But the cache was broken (then miraculously fixed), and the stone - a polished heart-shaped bloodstone - was stolen. It's probably easier to let it go.
