Clue 7
"Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be."
Final Destination
Congratulations!
Instructions
Before the hunt
Print out the clues for the Horcrux hunt. Set Clue 1 aside, for this one will be given to the participants.
Cut the clues apart, tape Clue 2 into the diary and hide the diary in the bathroom.
Tape clue 4 to the necklace, put the necklace into the container, seal the container, and set it in the basin. Place the boat on the water.
Tape clue 5 to the cup or goblet, and put it in the safe.
Tape clue 6 to the tiara, and stick it in the closet, or "Room of Requirement."
Set up a chair in the basement or back room, or "Chamber of Secrets." Put the picture of Voldemort on the chair. Tape clue 7 to the snake (Nagini,) and put her next to Voldemort.
Tape the slip that says "Congratulations!" to the Sorting Hat, and put it on the stool.
For the hunt
When guests arrive, make sure they see that you put their coats or jackets in the closet.
When it comes to be time for the hunt, explain to the guests what a Horcrux is. Give them Clue 1, and send them on their way.
If they need help, be as subtle as possible. For Clue 1, for example, simply tell them what an anagram is, and that Tom Marvolo Riddle is an anagram of "I Am Lord Voldemort."
When they find the last Horcrux, congratulate them, and give them all their prizes.
