Well, it's been more than 24 hours since the last guess. You can't be all out of ideas already! Potty Games - Riddles Only (Vol. II) - Page 2 464751818 I've added my extra two lines to encourage more guesses, so we'll see how long it lasts now! Potty Games - Riddles Only (Vol. II) - Page 2 2752390508

First, you will find me all around you
Don't take me away whatever you do
Or your world will come crashing down.

Next, look for me when hunger strikes
You'll find me in versions that everyone likes
Mostly, not always, a nice shade of brown.

Last, you'll see me in morning and also at night
you'll see me in shadows away from the light
and in your favourite gown.

Together, I defy description.
Find me soon or suffer a conniption.

This is the first time I've found the riddle thread!

Being a Bear of Very Little Brain, the only thing I can come up with for the first part is "horizon," and for the second part, "tea" or "chocolate."

Lady A, it's great to see you here on the riddle thread. Thanks for your 'guess' but I'm afraid it's not on the right track. Potty Games - Riddles Only (Vol. II) - Page 2 2752390508 I clearly underestimated the universal appeal of chocolate! Potty Games - Riddles Only (Vol. II) - Page 2 1003735042 You have to remember that there is always a little artistic licence involved with riddle-writing, especially for the sake of a rhyme. In the third verse for instance, I might have been a little bit naughty and used an alternative spelling for one of the words. A homonym - or is it a homophone? I always get those mixed up. Anyway, Choices has been closest so far, especially the last part of her first guess.

First, you will find me all around you
Don't take me away whatever you do
Or your world will come crashing down.

Next, look for me when hunger strikes
You'll find me in versions that everyone likes
Mostly, not always, a nice shade of brown.

Last, you'll see me in morning and also at night
you'll see me in shadows away from the light
and in your favourite gown.

Oooh.... Walburga Black perhaps?

Thanks for the hint about the homophone words! I must be really out of practice because I did not consider this possibility. Potty Games - Riddles Only (Vol. II) - Page 2 464751818

Potty Games - Riddles Only (Vol. II) - Page 2 Empty New Riddle

Post  Julia H. Tue May 24, 2011 4:27 am

I'm very sorry about the delay, but I have had some incredibly busy days.

Verity, this was a great riddle! Potty Games - Riddles Only (Vol. II) - Page 2 3845856932 Here is the new one (it will be easy):


Have you seen my forbidding disguise?

If you have, it should be no surprise

If you find me inviting and grand

Get your wand - you'll need it in your hand.


Enjoy! Potty Games - Riddles Only (Vol. II) - Page 2 2752390508

Hi Julia! It's great to see you back. And with a new riddle. cheers

I'll start things off with the first wrong guess, since I really have no idea yet.

Is it The Great Hall?

Hi, Verity!

The first guess for my first riddle on this Forum! cheers

It is a very good guess, too, though not the answer yet.

Keep guessing, please. Potty Games - Riddles Only (Vol. II) - Page 2 2752390508

Potty Games - Riddles Only (Vol. II) - Page 2 Empty In case you were wondering why I edited your posts...

Post  Potteraholic Tue May 24, 2011 4:30 pm

Hello, folks! Since I'm in a HP Riddles Archive frame of mind these days, I thought I'd get our two recently completed riddles — the first 2 played in this forum! — all set-up to be included in the indexed list that I'm working on. In the effort to have only one link to each completed riddle, instead of the 2 links I had to include in the WX Archives (1 for the original riddle post, and the other for the riddle answer/explanation post), I've edited in the following into Verity and Julia's posts:

1) the set #/game # in the topic title

2) the riddle without the attached answer/explanation

3) the riddle with the attached answer/explanation in a spoiler box so that future HP riddlers can't see the answer when they first access your riddle (unless they peek Potty Games - Riddles Only (Vol. II) - Page 2 266347159, of course).

4) a link to the HP Riddles Archive

  • HP Riddles Archive •  

For anyone who wants to include this info. into their riddle answer/explanation on their own in the future, here's the code:

Okay then, Julia, I stand corrected, 3, not 2 riddles. But with all the formatting, reposting, updating, etc., I've been doing lately, I'm bound to get 1 thing wrong every now and again. Potty Games - Riddles Only (Vol. II) - Page 2 464751818 Thanks for the head's up... the necessary corrections have been made.

And thanks for the plug about the HP Riddles Archive. 250 done, 215 left to go, and 23 Potty HQ Riddles, too. And then... drumroll please..... the Five Words Archive! bounce

OK - I think I have one.

You smile and think you have it!
Your heart's held securely within,
Beware of the lair of the Guardian there,
As deeper and deeper you swoop and spin,
To claim or hoard that which is stored.
And never acquire, by stealth or by hire,
Ill-gotten gains, because for your pains,
Justice will wield its Mighty Sword.

Is that really your first riddle, LA? It's great, and has a lovely rhythm and rhyming scheme. However, this is not a poetry competition, so here's my guess:

Is it Gringotts?

Glad you liked the rhyme and you both win - it is indeed ...

Lady Arabella, I hadn't really thought through the clues that much, but the whole poem just made me think of Gringotts, but now that I see your explanation, I love that first line.

I'll be back when I've thought of something.

Behold!
I will lead you in encouragement and merriment.

I will hold you in my spell.

Like the doctor and his friend you seek
I'll send you into space.
I'm fair or foul with fiery heart
When I show you my false face.
