Some of you may have noticed that a new competition had begun on HarryPotterfanfiction.com. This contest is sort of similar to the scavenger hunts we’ve hosted on the site in the past, but with a new twist.

Instead of the clues being hidden within individual stories, they are hidden inside the Oracle. The Oracle is a special program that requires the precise riddle answer and story URL. Once you have the correct answer you will be able to decode the next Henchmen using the FIRST LETTER in the answer to each riddle.

The answers are scrambled, but should be easy enough to figure out. Once you have uncovered all the Henchmen you will find the location where Sybill Trelawney is being held against her will.

Your challenge does not end at this point. You must figure out the key of freeing the desperate professor. There are separate rules posted for precise answer submission instructions that will be revealed when you reach the end of the competition.

OFFICIAL RULES:

1: DO NOT REVEAL ANY OF THE HENCHMEN OR ANSWER RIDDLES IN ANY PUBLIC AREA! Doing so is instant grounds for disqualification.

2: DO NOT REVIEW ANY OF THE RIDDLES! The review section is not the area to discuss clues.

3: DO NOT try to bride the staff or the house elf with any doughnuts, butterbeer or cookies.
