Potteraholic - Jan 16, 2008 1:36 pm (#562 of 2981)

(The following intro. is a repeat of a message I posted not too far back when I found out I guessed a riddle correctly.)

Columbine Fairy,

WHAT???

I can't believe it! I was just guessing because I was trying to get us another hint! I didn’t think I was right. Honest!

Thanks for the congrats, folks! Okay, so I’ve come up with a riddle, a rhyme, this time. That rhymed! It’s short and hopefully will get solved quickly. I’m meant to work hard on my students’ mid-year progress reports this week!

Orion, you wrote this comment about my earlier riddle about Malfoy Manor: Curiouser and curiouser... Potteraholic, is it 12 GP, my favourite place and object of desire? (post #484) . This made me laugh because it reminded me of the first riddle I wrote on the HPLF.

For those who are thinking, 'Get to the riddle already!'… here it is:

When in doubt,
throw me out.
When in need,
use with speed.

Happy guessing!

Edited to add: CF's guess. Sorry, it's not Owl Post. ***wondering if I wrote this too quickly and how many different ways this riddle can be interpreted*** Better get started thinking up some clues!

Elanor - Jan 18, 2008 9:38 am (#602 of 2981)

And here is the new riddle!

From darkness to light,
-that is, as light as can be-
In the dead of the night,
My roar is legendary.
Formidable, yet tamed,
By the king's touch, in the end.

Have fun!

My new riddle:

You can take it, honestly.
I can't use it any more.
And you - take that look off your face, please.
Fool them well.

Mona, thanks for the kind birthday greetings. I'll pass them on to my mom.

I came up with a riddle while in Hokey mode so I doubt it will be the 'completely unsolvable, obscure, twisted Dobby riddle' you're expecting.

Without further ado:

Born In Darkness,
Died In Darkness
Truly, Big And Small
Trust And Friendship
Betrayal, Death
I Can Show You All

Enjoy!

And here's the new riddle. It's not that great, but it rhymes!

Maybe there is more in me
than what you can see.
I was meant for them to destroy
in a moment of joy.

Why does he have horns?

SSS, that was a great riddle.

Okay, I hope everyone is in agreement with Orion, because here's the next riddle. I've put in the effort to make it more solvable than my others. It's the first limerick I've ever written, so be nice!

They Say That It's Nice To Be Nice:
'The Wicked Will Soon Pay The Price.'
Heck, Though It Be Scary,
It's Just Temporary.
So Go On And Revel In Vice!

Okay, so I am torn about this riddle. It will either be solved in an hour, or will be a pesky one (pun intended).

This may be the sound you make when you are very confused;
A delicious noise is next;
Followed by the sound of a golf ball being struck.
Then, the final connection between Sirius and Albus;
And what you will say when you get this.

Who or what am I?

Verity Weasley – Feb 15, 2008 10:33 pm (#1205 of 2981)

I can't believe I finally got a riddle right!!! Please be gentle as this is my first time posting a riddle and I very much fear it won't live up to expectations. I just have to say that all of you riddle posters have my deepest respect. Anyway, here it is. I'm sure it won't take long to guess. Oh, BTW I am in Australia so I'll most likely be updating when everyone else is in bed!

When indolence strikes
or tedium is in the air
When the doldrums threaten
I'll be there
If evasion is your aim
Use a kaleidoscope of care
But of alarming alliteration
You better beware
Once bitten, twice shy

Who or what am I?

Reminds me of

These windows hidden by windows
Glimpsed at last!

Since Pesky's riddle, I can't seem to get limericks out of my head. So, the new riddle is indeed, a limerick. I think that it will be easy, but, well, anyway, here goes...

It's complicated, you see,
To be as useful as me;
But time after time,
I'll save your behind,
No matter what the dilemma might be!
I start in an inauspicious way,
In an effort to keep evil at bay;
I might not be good,
But you know if I could,
I will always help to save the day!

Who or what am I?

Hello, hello, sorry again, *gasp* *pant* I just came home from work and this is the best I can come up with for the moment, please have fun!

I lie in eternal dark, but there is eternal dark in me.

It was a great riddle, Orion.

And here's the new one. It's not that good, but it's the best I could come up with.

Once a beauty and full of pride,
now empty and marked by murder.
Nobody cares for me any more.

I can't believe I solved another riddle! And Mona Amon, I guess great minds think alike.

OK, here's a new riddle. I don't think it will last long, but I like the way it sounds.

My story is quite gory
but I can't take all the credit
If you ask, I shall not bask,
so you might as well forget it
I'm partial to a drink and my appetite is hearty
but you will never find me in the kitchen at a party

Who or what am I?

Okay, here's a new riddle. I couldn't even make it rhyme properly, but anyway.

Though I may seem cold as ice,
I am actually very nice.
I didn't let him pay the price.
If the answer's hard to find,
a different angle might be worth a try.

Now tell me, who or what am I?

GOOD LUCK!

Out of the fire
Into the dark
Like scratchings on a chalkboard,
I'll help, if you're lost.

Who or what am I?

(I'm hoping I get at least one wrong guess before it's solved.)

Mona, even though quickly solved, nevertheless a clever riddle.

OK, here is the next riddle and good luck to all.

I was the first of a long line you know,
But no monastery for me.
I am not a colorful Persian,
But in Arabia I am happiness itself.

Can you find the answer and tell me who or what I am?

I am blushing furiously here, but Pesky I must admit that I do feel a certain affinity with Ravenclaw. I'm getting better at working out and solving some of the riddles but I need more practice at writing them! Anyway, here it is:

Well known to a vegetable
Acquainted with a flower
You won't believe your ears
When you hear about my power.
I am at the root of great danger
With the power to do good
I'll rectify your remedy
If you treat me like you should.

Potteraholic - Mar 3, 2008 12:47 pm (#1671 of 2981)

Okay, since two of the past riddles were in limerick form (thanks PeskyPixie and megfox*) I thought I'd try writing mine in a form of verse, too. Instead of limerick, I chose haiku, probably because my class is writing some for our current poetry study (I read some of their drafts earlier and now can only think in 3 line verses with a 5, 7, 5 syllable pattern).

So... without further ado, here's the new riddle:

I am capable
of extraordinary moves,
which surprises one.

Smooth? Certainly not!
When time is of the essence,
That does not matter.

I will help you land
safely on your own two feet.
Just pay all your dues.

Who or what am I?

Okay, waiting to see what people make of this riddle.

New riddle!

To find me
you need to see the truth among the tricks
In a dark, concealed place you saw me
I was the light on the other side of the veil
If you look for me, you'll find me
where you can find a dream
I was asked
I asked

And now, I ask you: Who or what am I?

Thanks SSS. That was a very clever riddle, but I'm not sure I can keep this pattern going (of riddles that also match the names of forumers!). For my last riddle, I suffered the ignominy of having it solved on the very first guess, so I have tried to be a little more obscure this time. The problem is I am more of a literal than a lateral thinker. Maybe someone could make a pity guess first:) Anyway, here it is:

Two worlds collide of air and earth
Fire in the eye of the storm
Twin dangers and noble birth
Heritage ended, one re-born

Who or what am I?

Verity Weasley - Mar 17, 2008 2:10 am (#1938 of 2981)

I don't know about everybody else but I am suffering from a severe case of Riddle Withdrawal Syndrome. It has been about a week since PatPat solved the last riddle and it seems as if her computer problems are a bit more serious than she first thought. Since it was my riddle that PatPat solved, I thought it might be OK if I posted another one, just to keep everyone occupied until PatPat gets back. I hope nobody has any objections, and if you have, feel free to ignore it.

This is not an official riddle - it is just a bit of fun. And I don't think it is very hard either, but it might keep a few of us occupied until PatPat can post the next official riddle.

Many hands make light work but my work is never-ending.
Time and again I tell you what you need to know
But I don't tell you what I should.

Who or what am I?

Oh dear. That was actually correct? It was in fact a "Harry's left foot"-guess. (The mental image of people sniffing Harry's left foot to see if it smells of roses will never leave me again.)

So here is the new "step-in-if-PatPat-doesn't-mind"-riddle:

Xyxxxxxy
You might ask yourselves: But why?
'Cause I was real long time ago.
Sometimes yes and sometimes no.

Wow Orion, how on earth did you think of that xyxx line? Pure genius! And Elanor, for guessing what it meant!

The only reason I guessed it is I remember your 'antler envy' (LOL!) post on the Snape thread, and you using the words ginormous antlers!

Here's my riddle, which is sure to be guessed in the next post, lol!

I'm here to treat
But nothing sweet
I'm always, always fuming!
Remember, to quiet lie
Forget and you may cause to die.

Who or what am I?
