HAIRY TROTTER
AND THE PHILOSOPHERS LUNCHBOX
Many centuries ago the four founding wizards
of the Hogwash School of Wizardry were worried that their greatest
treasures would be plundered by the non-believing Geomuggles. They
decided to hide their treasure in the Forbidden Forest, guarded by
their old friend, Boris the Spider. The wizards told no-one of the
hiding place for fear of it being discovered, and took the secret
to their graves. The school headmaster, Professor Bumblingbore, has
asked Hairy Trotter to seek out the hidden treasure before the evil
Lord Vulgarmouth can get his hands on it. Professor Bumblingbore
found out that each of the 4 wizards left a small part of a number
spell in the grounds of the Church where they were buried. You must
find the 4 parts of the number spell and put it together so that
you can discover the treasures of the Philosophers
Lunchbox.
The co-ordinates above will take you to the
church grounds. From here you can explore the area around the
Church to get the 4 parts of the spell. Once you have all 4 parts,
put them into your magic wand (known as a GPS in modern times) and
it will lead you to the Philosophers Lunchbox.
Spell Part 1
As you enter the grounds from the front, you will not be far from
where the wizard Gilbert Givinmore hid his secret. At the western
end of the church yard lies a beloved wife, Sarah Susanna.
She died on May 11th in the year 189H. She was 4A
years old when she passed away.
Spell Part 2
The wise wizard Holly Huffnpuff buried her secret at the very edge
of the graveyard to the North West. There you will see the burial
stone of Fanny Gazeley who died on December E 1900
aged CK years.
Spell Part 3
The great wizard Ribena Razerclaw entrusted her secret to
William Smith Cowper who lies at the Eastern end of the
church grounds. He died in Southsea in May 1G05 at the age
of B3 years.
Spell Part 4
Shalamar Shimmerin also picked the Eastern end of the church yard
to bury his secret. It is revealed on the headstone of John
Bonner who passed away on May F1 189D. He was
J0 years of age.
The Philosophers Lunchbox can be found by using the spell as
follows:
N51° A B . C D E
W 0° F G . H J K
When you enter the Forbidden Forest, which is
a short walk away, you will see that the wizards have cast
some spells to protect their secret. One of these is the Leavius
Abundance, which causes the many trees to interfere with your magic
wand. Another spell that they used was the Nettleus Stinguslots
-becareful around plants that are affected by this one! The
Philosophers Lunchbox is hidden close to a source of great
power.
The Philosophers Lunchbox contains a good
selection of treasures suitable for both young and old wizards
alike. Have fun, and good luck!
