You're right Puck! That's not it! Great guess though. 
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.

That's interesting, I got chocolate instead of bread. 
I suspect the way to the solution is a bit trickier - I just can't find the path!
Intriguing riddle!

OK, the first HP-related word I have been able to put together from the clues is Dean - D-EA-N - possibly Dean Thomas.

Puck, the 2nd verse made me think of bread, too. 
I don't have a guess, but wonder if maybe the answer is a 3-syllable word instead of 3 words? But I can't think of a 3-syllable word that has 'bread' as the 2nd syllable.

Thanks for the guess and semi-guesses PAH and Julia. I can tell you that the answer has nothing to do with bread or chocolate.

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."
Horizont------?

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. I clearly underestimated the universal appeal of chocolate! 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.

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.

- Spoiler:
- It is Walburga Black.
I thought this would be guessed quickly, given our recent Five Words story. Hopefully the riddle makes sense now you know the answer, but here is a (short ) explanation.
First, you will find me all around you
Don't take me away whatever you do
Or your world will come crashing down.
I'm assuming most of you are indoors when you check the forum, hence you are surrounded by walls. If you took the walls away, the ceiling would crash 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.
OK, clearly everyone looks for chocolate when they're feeling peckish, but I was going for 'burger' here. And if you don't like beef burgers (which are brown), you might like chicken or veggie burgers.
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.
The homophone here was morning/mourning which makes black the obvious answer. You'll also find black at night and in shadows, and every woman has a 'little black dress'.
Wall + Burger + Black = Walburga Black
Together, I defy description.
Find me soon or suffer a conniption.
A little extra clue: conniption = a fit of hysterical excitement or anger.
Congratulations again Julia. Take it away!

New Riddle
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! 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!

Hi Julia! It's great to see you back. And with a new riddle.
I'll start things off with the first wrong guess, since I really have no idea yet.
Is it The Great Hall?

The first guess for my first riddle on this Forum!
It is a very good guess, too, though not the answer yet.
Keep guessing, please.

- Spoiler:
- Hogwarts - the castle itself.
You may not need an explanation, but here it is anyway:
Have you seen my forbidding disguise?
Muggles only see some ruins and a "Do not enter" sign in place of the castle.
If you have, it should be no surprise
If you see that, you must be a Muggle and will have no idea about the real Hogwarts.
If you find me inviting and grand
If you receive the letter and you can see the castle in all its splendour
Get your wand - you'll need it in your hand.
You must be a witch or a wizard and you can and must buy a wand at Ollivander's.
Congratulations, Lady Arabella! I look forward to your riddle!

In case you were wondering why I edited your posts...
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
, of course).
4) a link to the 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:
Thanks, and congrats on the riddle, LA!
