QUOTE(JKMcGonagall @ May 2 2009, 07:45 AM)  I figured out the answer to the rune puzzle in the May 2nd issue of the Quibbler. Congratulations, JKMcGonagall! That was quick! .... That was fun. I hope I hid them correctly. If not, my apologies, I've never done it before.

I think I've finally got the Battle of Hogwarts puzzle! I gotta say, this one was the toughest by far.
Peggy fought inside Hogwarts using Incarcerous, was a 7th year Hufflepuff pureblood, and lost her boyfriend. Jenny fought in the Gryffindor Tower using Impedimenta, was a 7th year Ravenclaw halfblood, and lost her sister. Kathleen fought in the Ravenclaw Tower using Expelliarmus, was a 6th year Hufflepuff muggleborn, and lost her cousin. Matthew fought on the ground using Expecto Patronum, was a Gryffindor alumnus muggleborn, and lost his brother. Steven fought in the Astronomy Tower using Stupefy, was a 6th year Gryffindor pureblood, and lost his best friend. --------------------  Hurrah for censorship! Apparently I'm not allowed to say that I wasn't allowed to say something in my sig. Point is, PM me if you wanna know why I've stopped posting. |

We're trying to vary the difficulty level between issues. The last few logic puzzles in The Quibbler have been going easier for a while. So this was meant to be distinctly tougher. A Battle to solve it, perhaps.  Which you won with flying colours.  However, we won't aim for anything this difficult again in a hurry.

For the crossword puzzle, the letters in the blue cells unscramble to say VICTORY.

Thanks! This was my first Quibbler, and I must say the puzzles were a lot of fun! I agree with hpboy13 above that it is a lot of fun when it's challenging.

I think I have the answer for the "Battle Logics".
In Gryffindor Tower, Jenny a 7th year Ravenclaw, used Impedimenta, lost her sister and is a Half-Blood. In the grounds, Matthew a alumni Gryffindor, used Expecto Patronum, lost his brother and is a Muggle-Born. In Astronomy Tower, Steven a 6th year Gryffindor, used Stupefy, lost his friend and is a Pure-Blood. In Ravenclaw Tower, Kathleen, a 6th year Hufflepuff, used Expellarmus, lost her cousin and is a Muggle-Born. Inside Hogwarts, Peggy, a 7th year Hufflepuff, used Incarcerous, lost her boyfriend and is a Pure-Blood. I hope I got that right, if not, let me know.
