Part 2 for the contest starts on July 1st! Please ensure you read carefully the Part 2 rules (in particular, don't forget to include a name with your answers!).
Happy solving! --------- The Contest Team has decided to do a two-part riddle contest that involves stretching the minds of Leaky’s readers. Part One occurs during the month of June. You are invited to submit a riddle that relates to a person, place or thing found in the Harry Potter books. The contest team will select the 5 best riddles from the entries and will also create an additional 5 riddles. From these 10 riddles, a new riddle will be posted in the Contest Corner each Tuesday and Friday during the month of July (see schedule below) for Part Two of the contest. All contestants' riddle entries used in July (this excludes riddles created by the contest team) and all people who submit correct answers for all the riddles will be placed into a drawing for one of three Wizard Wood Wands. General Rules:
Part One Rules: During the month of June, the Contest Team is asking for people to submit riddles. To help you create your riddles, here are a few sources to help you along: write your own riddle worksheet (requires Acrobat Reader) and writing riddles from ehow.com
Part Two Rules: Every Tuesday and Friday through the month of July, the Contest Team will post a riddle on the Contest Corner to be answered via e-mail.
Schedule of Posted Riddles (date and approximate time of post): July 1 – 3 pm EDT or 8 pm BST July 4 – 10 am EDT or 3 pm BST July 8 – 3 am EDT or 8 am BST July 11 – 12 pm EDT or 5 pm BST July 15 – 6 am EDT or 11 am BST July 18 – 12 am EDT or 5 am BST July 22 – 6 pm EDT or 11 pm BST July 25 – 8 am EDT or 1 pm BST July 29 – 2 pm EDT or 7 pm BST August 1 – 7 am EDT or 12 pm BST August 5 - All entries are due by 7 am EDT or 12 pm BST This post has been edited by mjk: Jul 1 2008, 03:41 PM -------------------- Click the image for the latest contest and winners.  |

if we submit riddles and they do get used can we still answer the other riddles?
if we submit riddles but there not used can we still try to answer the 10 riddles? -------------------- Dumbledore Will Never Be Gone As Long As Those Who Are Loyal to Him Remain Loyal To Him

QUOTE(harrypotterinpersinator @ Jun 1 2008, 05:44 PM)  if we submit riddles and they do get used can we still answer the other riddles? Yes, you may. That's why the Contest Team is creating 5 other riddles for people to answer. QUOTE(harrypotterinpersinator @ Jun 1 2008, 05:44 PM) if we submit riddles but there not used can we still try to answer the 10 riddles? You certainly may. The two parts allow those who don't want to participate in Part One to participate in Part Two or vice versa or you can participate in both parts!

You will read this again in a post I will make sometime within the next 24 hours, but the winners will be notified (officially) after the finish of the contest (August 5th). If you participate or check in regularly to see the riddles posted throughout July, you'll be able to tell earlier than the official notification because you may/may not see your riddle being used! Normally we'd e-mail the winners before we post their entries, but this is a bit different as the entries are going to be used for another part of a contest! Look for my post about Part Two within the next 24 hours.
