Geocache Description:


Mrs. Norris – #39 Provo Potter Parkway Series
 

The Mrs. Norris cache is part of the Provo Potter Parkway Series. This is one of four caches in The Inquisitorial Squad series that each contain a number needed for the combination lock to open the Argus Filch Bonus Cache.

This series includes caches along the Provo River Parkway trail. Some are at a distance from parking lots that provide trail access, but all are steps from the paved trail which is easily navigated by biking or walking.

Visit Harry Potter Hunt online for a list of all caches in this series, tips on where to park, and movie clips to enhance the experience of this geocaching adventure. 


Where to Look

Look for a small dirt trail not far from a utility poll (on the river side of the paved trail). This is where you’ll find Mrs. Norris keeping a watchful eye on the trail.


Night Friendly Cache

This cache is made to be found during the day, but is also a Night Friendly Cache. If you dare to wander into the Forbidden Forest at night, use a flashlight and you will see a reflector on the tree closest to the hiding spot. (Anti-mosquito spells may be required during summer months).


What’s Inside

Bring your own pen to mark the log. Inside this cache you will find:

  • One of the numbers needed to open the combination lock for the Argus Filch Bonus Cache.
  • The answer to this Harry Potter trivia question:

    Answer these questions about the Marauder’s Map:
  1. How many Hogwarts secret passages did the map reveal?
  2. Who created the map?
  3. What rooms did not show up on the map?
     

Muggle Awareness

Beware of muggles. The Provo River Parkway Trail can have high traffic, particularly on weekends. Stealth is required. Please don’t be the one responsible for a call to the Obliviator Headquarters at the Ministry of Magic.  We would like to keep the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes out of this.

Happy hunting!

Mrs. Norris
