Still not there. Don't think of the riddle as a whole. While it does make some sense that way, I was thinking more of breaking down the word. Each line gives you part of it.
Am I out of my place?
I better get out of here -QUICK!
Guessed: Scabbers fleeing from Crookshanks, Accio!, Apparition , Golden Snitch, Dobby doing the house elf version of apparating, The Hogwarts Express
Hint: Solve the lines separately, then put it together to find the answer.

Sorry Choices, but the first line does refer to a necessary ingredient for Floo travel. Moving in the right direction.

The "place" in the first line was a fireplace.
The second line is the "bolt"
Plus both lines together infer a method of travel, which brooms are in the wizard world.

Clever riddle, Puck! 
The new one:
Three times seven without flight
When the moon is full and bright
Something like this may be tied
What was two now multiplied
Feeding with persistent greed
On the thing that all hearts need
Lost and found, stolen and used
(Many found themselves confused)
To crown it, you need one more
Nothing will be like before
Whatever you want to gain
Remember Cinderella's bane

It's another lovely riddle Julia, but I'm absolutely stumped. I didn't want it to get lonely though so I thought I'd throw in a guess. I've been pondering what might be 'Cinderella's bane.' Would it be her ugly step-sisters? Or her shoes? Or something else? I'm not sure of the significance of either step-sisters or shoes to the Potterverse but for some reason, a couple of the lines make me think of the Potter family. So, I'll get the guessing underway with that.
Is it the Potter family?

Thanks, Verity, for starting the riddle off with the first guess! The answer is not the Potter family, but it's an exciting guess! Finding out "Cinderella's bane" among the various possibilities (poor Cinderella ) would be a great clue to the riddle, indeed.
Keep guessing, please.

Perhaps Bill Weasley? Bitten by a werewolf when the moon wasn't full? (The first two lines make me think of a month/one moon cycle.)
I'm also thinking that Cinderella's bane is time, as she had only until midnight.

Buckbeak? He was tied up without being allowed to fly until the night of the full moon, and many were confused about how he disappeared. Saving him was a race against time.

That is a great riddle and I must confess I am stumped. I think Cinderella's bane being time constraint (midnight) is interesting, but my first thought was that her bane was her step-sisters and step-mother who made her do all the dirty-work. So, I am going to throw out a guess - Hagrid's half-brother who was tied in the forest - Grawp?

- Spoiler:
- Polyjuice Potion! Congratulations!
Some explanation is in order, I think.
Most of the riddle refers to the list of ingredients for Polyjuice Potion.
Three times seven without flight
Lacewing flies stewed 21 days - I suppose they don't fly when they are stewed. Flight - fly - by association.
When the moon is full and bright
Fluxweed picked at full moon.
Something like this can be tied
Knotgrass - you can tie a knot (or the knot).
What was two now multiplied
Powdered bicorn horn - 'bicorn' suggests a creature with two horns. When powdered, it consists of lots of small parts.
Feeding with persistent greed
On the thing that all hearts need
Leeches, which suck blood.
Lost and found, stolen and used
Shredded boomslang skin - Snakes lose their skins, but someone must find them if they end up in the possession of wizards. Boomslang skin was stolen from Snape's office by Hermione and then used by the Trio in their potion.
(Many found themselves confused)
Reference to the little diversion Harry created in their potions class so that Hermione could go into Snape's office.
To crown it, you need one more
A bit of who one wants to turn into is added last.
Nothing will be like before
Change: the effect of Polyjuice Potion.
Whatever you want to gain
Remember Cinderella's bane
Cinderella had to leave the ball at midnight, because then the magic was over and everything changed back to normal. Likewise, if you take Polyjuice Potion, you must remember that the effect of a single dose wears off in an hour.
Hint: The first one was for the worse and marred by an unfortunate mistake.
The first use of Polyjuice Potion in the books was a change "for the worse" because two good guys (Harry and Ron) changed into two bad guys. The unfortunate mistake was the one with the cat hair, which sort of spoiled the experience for Hermione.
Guessed: the Potter family, Bill Weasley, Buckbeak, Grawp.
Well done, Mona! The next riddle is yours, and I'll go and find a new hangman puzzle.

Thanks, Julia! It was a very good riddle. Only the first two lines helped me to guess.
Here's the next one -
First one of a name fair
Caused this seeker to stare
On a grave, and in books
On clothes, to get looks
I keep cropping up everywhere.

Well done Mona. Congratulations on solving the riddle. I was totally stumped. For instance, I thought this line
On the thing that all hearts need
referred to love!
I've got an idea about your riddle Mona, which is probably totally wrong, but I don't want to guess just in case it's right! There's no way I could do a riddle right now. So I'll just watch!
