Geocache Description:


PL

Kesz należy do serii kilku skrytek, związanych z książkami o Harrym Potterze. Powieści te są źródłem ogromnej liczby wspaniałych cytatów, dlatego zdecydowałem się poświęcić temu zagadnieniu aż dwa kesze. Ten dotyczyć będzie cytatów, które mówią nam wiele o ludziach z uniwersum Harry'ego Pottera — ich cechach charakteru, wiedzy i działaniach. Skrytka GC9PZ8P poświęcona jest natomiast takim cytatom, które można z powodzeniem zastosować w codziennym życiu — niosącym uniwersalne mądrości.

ZADANIE:

Poniżej znajdziesz całkiem sporą listę cytatów, pochodzących z oryginalnych brytyjskich wydań Harry'ego Pottera (wyd. Bloomsbury); część z nich może być minimalnie zmodyfikowana celem dostosowania gramatyki i interpunkcji. Twoim zadaniem jest określenie osoby, która te słowa wypowiedziała.

Jeżeli był_a to:

  • Harry Potter — 20 pkt dla Gryffindoru
  • Ron Weasley — 10 pkt dla Gryffindoru i 5 dla Hufflepuffu
  • Hermiona Granger — 10 pkt dla Gryffindoru i 5 dla Ravenclaw
  • Członek rodziny Weasleyów — 30 pkt dla Gryffindoru
  • Członek Armii Dumbledore'a — 20 pkt dla Ravenclaw i 10 dla Hufflepuffu
  • Albus Dumbledore — po 25 pkt dla każdego z Domów
  • Nauczyciel (również były), który jest Gryfonem — 15 pkt dla Gryffindoru
  • Inny nauczyciel (również były) — 20 pkt dla Slytherinu i 10 dla Ravenclaw
  • Jeden z Huncwotów — 15 pkt dla Gryffindoru i 5 dla Hufflepuffu
  • Ktoś inny — 25 pkt dla Slytherinu

Jeżeli dana osoba pasuje do więcej niż jednego podpunktu, weź pod uwagę tylko ten najwcześniejszy. Innymi słowy, jeżeli przypasujesz kogoś do danego podpunktu, nie musisz sprawdzać kolejnych. Czyli na przykład jeśli autorem cytatu jest Ron, Gryffindor dostaje 10 pkt i Hufflepuff 5. Nie ma znaczenia to, że Ron jest również jednym z członków rodziny Weasleyów.

Cytaty:
(tak, wiem, dużo tego, ale one wszystkie są tak wspaniałe, że nie byłem w stanie pominąć żadnego…)

  • HAVE YOU GONE MAD? ARE YOU A WITCH OR NOT?
  • Are you a wizard or what?
  • I feel that if a single pupil wants to come, then the school ought to remain open for that pupil
  • He has, to use a common phrase, done a bunk
  • There is no good and evil, there is only power, and those too weak to seek it
  • Have a biscuit, Potter
  • Books! And cleverness! There are more important things — friendship and bravery
  • Yeah, well, food's one of the five exceptions to Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration
  • I am not worried, Harry. I am with you
  • One can never have enought socks. Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn't get a single pair. People will insist on giving me books
  • Ah, well, people can be a bit stupid about their pets
  • I hope you're pleased with yourselves. We could all have beed killed — or worse, expelled
  • Wands are only as powerful as wizards who use them. Some wizards just like to boast that theirs are bigger and better than other people's
  • Nothing I have seen in the world has supported your famous pronouncements that love is more powerful than my kind of magic
  • Dumbledore would have been happier than anybody to think that there was a little more love in the world
  • Now you mention it, d'you know … I think I'm feeling a bit … rebellious
  • I won't blast people out of my way just because they're there. That's Voldemort's job
  • It was one of my more brilliant ideas, and between you and me, that's saying something
  • I was afraid of death. I chose to remain behind. I sometimes wonder whether I oughtn't to have … well, that is neither here nor there … in fact, I am neither here nor there …
  • You know, Minister, I disagree with Dumbledore on many counts … but you cannot deny he's got style …
  • Percy wouldn't recognise a joke if it danced naked in front of him wearing Dobby's tea-cosy
  • I like a quiet life, you know me
  • I should have made my meaning plainer. He has achieved high marks in all Defence Against the Dark Arts tests set by a competent teacher
  • Well … I can't say, I'm surprised. I knew this would happen in the end. I knew you wouldn't be happy unless you were hunting Voldemort. Maybe that's why I like you so much
  • I am good-looking enough for both of us
  • People expect you to have cooler friends than us
  • It's high time your grandmother learned to be proud of the grandson she's got, rather than the one she thinks she ought to have — particularly after what happened at the ministry
  • The thing about growing up with Fred and George, is that you sort of start thinking anything's possible if you've got enough nerve
  • I was ripped from my body, I was less than spirit, less than the meanest ghost … but still, I was alive
  • Harry, you're worse than Ron … no, you're not

Zapewne już masz zebrane wyniki każdego z czterech Domów. Możesz zatem bez większego kłopotu wyliczyć kordy finału:
N 52 12.G-R+H/5 E 20 57.G-R+S-19

Powodzenia! W skrytce również znajdziesz informację do bonusa: imię i nazwisko oraz przypisaną do niego liczbę trzycyfrową

The cache belongs to a small series of caches, concerning Harry Potter books. As these novels contain a huge number of awesome quotes, I decided to honor them with not one, but two caches. This one is about the quotes, which can say a lot about people from the Harry Potter universe — their personalities, knowledge and actions. Cache GC9PZ8P is all about the quotes, which can be used in every-day life — containing some universal wisdom.

TASK:

Below, you can find a quite large list of quotes, which come from the original British issues of Harry Potter (published by Bloomsbury); some of them may ba altered a tiny bit, to regulate grammar and punctuation. Your task is to determine, who said these words.

If it was:

  • Harry Potter — 20 points for Gryffindor
  • Ron Weasley — 10 points for Gryffindor and 5 for Hufflepuff
  • Hermione Granger — 10 points for Gryffindor and 5 for Ravenclaw
  • Weasley family member — 30 points for Gryffindor
  • Dumbledore's Army member — 20 points for Ravenclaw and 10 for Hufflepuff
  • Albus Dumbledore — 25 points (each) for every House
  • A teacher (possibly a former one), who is a Gryffindor — 15 points for Gryffindor
  • Other teacher (possibly a former one) — 20 points for Slytherin and 10 for Ravenclaw
  • One of the Marauders — 15 points for Gryffindor and 5 for Hufflepuff
  • Someone else — 25 points for Slytherin

If a person matches more than one criterium, consider only the highest one on the list. In other words, if you match someone with one list item, you do not need to bother checking the ones below. So, for example, it the author of the quote is Ron, Griffindor receives 10 points and Hufflepuf 5. It doesn't matter, that Ron is also one of the members of Weasley family.

Quotes:
(yes, I know, there are so many of them, but they are all so awesome, that I just couldn't disregard any of them …)
