Geocache Description:

The Above Coordinates Are For Parking Only. Answer Some Questions For The Cache's Coordinates.

Yes, We are big fans of Harry Potter. This is the first of 7 (hopefully) Caches, each based on one of the books in the series. Hope you enjoy answering some questions about the first book in the series- The Sorcerer's Stone (or you may not get too far LOL). If you haven't read the book- or don't know any children, the internet can be your friend.

Here it goes: Start N
1) Harry Potter lives at What Number, Privet drive. _
2) 3 Goals in Quidditch equals how many points? _ _
3) How many Keepers are there on a Quidditch team? _
4) 101 plus the Number of the Vault that Hagrid emptied at Gringott's. _ _ _

Next: Start W
1) How Many Pairs of Socks does Dumbledore get for Christmas? _
2) How Many Gold Galleons did Harry Pay for his Wand? _
3) Nicholas Flamel's Age He's TURNING the year Harry learns about him ( minus 563). _ _ _
4) What's the Number Of Staircases at Hogwarts- Minus 10. _ _ _.
