The riddle makes me think of the cakes that knocked out Crabb and Goyle in CoS in the Polyjuice Potion chapter. Potty Games - Riddles Only (Vol. II) - Page 5 2222139670

That's a good guess Julia. I'm still totally stumped, but I'll guess Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop. Potty Games - Riddles Only (Vol. II) - Page 5 2752390508

Good guesses, but not the answer. Verity, you are heading in the right direction.

Taking an afternoon respite, I see.
Clotted cream cakes - as genteel as can be!
But while you are nibbling the best fromage blanc,
Be ever so careful, or I'LL GET YOUR CONK!


Guessed: Peeves, Tom Riddle, Jr., the cakes that knocked out Crab and Goyle, Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop

edited to add: After a quick check of the books, I discovered there are two answers that fit equally well . . . . (sigh). But that doubles your chances!

Could it be Draco Malfoy, who knocked Harry out on the train and then broke his nose?

What about one of the floating, golden, confetti-throwing cherubs at Madam Puddifoot's?

Choices, that is a good guess, but not what I was thinking of.

Verity is getting even closer, although the answer isn't actually found at Madam Puddifoot's.

Concentrate on the last line . . .

Julia has the answer!! Potty Games - Riddles Only (Vol. II) - Page 5 2942856553 But everyone had some interesting guesses - I enjoyed hearing them. Smile

The new riddle:

Meant to do the job

For less than a year

Entertained the mob

Didn't work, oh dear.


Still, some help I got

As I was to fail

- Success on the spot?

On a larger scale.

Great ideas, Lady Arabella and Verity. Potty Games - Riddles Only (Vol. II) - Page 5 2752390508 The answer is neither Hagrid trying to enlist the giants' support, nor the band playing the musical saws at Nearly Headless Nick's Deathday Party.

However, no guts, no glory.

BB, you might be on to something there. Just to be a bit more specific, is it the charm Snape did on DD's cursed hand?

BB, Severus Snape Potty Games - Riddles Only (Vol. II) - Page 5 858139975 is my favourite guess for any riddle, but not the answer this time. Potty Games - Riddles Only (Vol. II) - Page 5 2752390508

Verity, the charm Snape did on DD's cursed hand is a great idea for a riddle, but unfortunately, it was not my idea. However, this guess is more in the direction of the answer than the earlier ones. Potty Games - Riddles Only (Vol. II) - Page 5 2222139670

As a general warning, I'll let you know that the first two lines are somewhat ... tricky. Keep guessing, please. Potty Games - Riddles Only (Vol. II) - Page 5 464751818
