Stuck on 3. I am pretty sure of where to look.... the spine of the book said a lot but all my combinations of usernames and passwords won't work. Anyone got a new hint?

Hmmm... maybe there's something else on the page... or the source code perhaps? maybe a song... idk

how are you stuck on the second clue? like do you know the answer? or can you not figure out where to "put" said answer? Did you check the help desk

Not stuck on 3 anymore... figured it out. But, the last one is a pain in the butt... any hints?

Yeah, that is a hard one. Well... a spell might help you out... and I'm not being sarcastic

Wow, now I am even more confused. I keep wondering if I am looking too far into it.

Hahaha yeah you might be looking a taaad bit too far into it but it is very hard. Try maybe looking at some spells from the books... maybe one could give you a clue about the word.

Oh sweet! Try a couple different things out. Don't worry if you don't get it right away... it might take a you a little time

I've tried for the past 2 hours. I have looked at all the lists of HP spells... and looked for anything remotely close to the riddle... and I can't figure it out. I feel like it's right there in front of me and I can't quite grasp it. Grr... I feel really lame.

try wiki maybe?

Hey guys, just so we know, clue #7 isn't a spell, it's a word.. the word miggght be in one of the spells

lol

Thank You.. It will probably take me until Monday to get the rest.. Too much work and not enough fun.. This is rather creative..

Ohhh just you wait till next week

. It'll be easier when you get in the grove of finding links. Here are some useful tips for people that are first starting out in this type of hunt.

1. Search everything on the page. Click everything on an image, select everything in the text. There might be something hidden...

(Try the source code sometimes too)

2. If you can't find anything on the page, try searching google with the info you have.

3. If you're having trouble finding the link itself, even if you know the answer, make sure there is nothing to click on the webpage or try switching up the url.

That's the best I can give you guys... lol.

Happy Hunting!

sorry what do you mean by switching up url's

Let's say an answer was 2 o'clock...so let's say the url is: www.clocksoplenty.com/game.html. You're supposed to replace the word "game"....with the new answer. If the url isn't working try different versions of the time:
twooclock, twopm, 2pm, etc., etc.

Hey, just so you know, it's a word in a spell, not a spell itself
