Harry Potter is the first puzzle in the hunt, consisting of a list of directions numbered 1-18.

Solve Path[edit | edit source]

 

Start by interpreting the flavortext. The keyword "spells" hints that each direction clues a spell from Harry Potter based on the first few words. The second part of the instruction clues the index to the puzzle.

For example: 1. Levitate the cauldron thirteen meters high

A spell from Harry Potter that makes things float would be Wingardium Leviosa. "Thirteen meters high" means to extract the 13th letter in "Wingardium Leviosa", therefore giving V.

Continuing to do this will spell out VOLDEMORT'S LAST NAME as an intermediate clue phrase, thus cluing RIDDLE, the answer to this puzzle.
