Geocache Description:

Third of chloboo and monkeydogfish's Harry Potter series of caches.
"Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban"


chloboo:

This is the third of the Chloboo HP Series. As soon as I got into geocaching, I decided that one favorite book series of mine could be a theme. In each of the caches in this series, there will be a clue. Write down the clue given or remember. Using all the clues, the bonus cache has a puzzle to put the clues together to get secret and special coords to the final, grand, "Giant" cache, "Thank you, J.K. Rowling!"
Please do not post answer of the clues on the log. It ruins the fun for others. Not Good!

The big tree near GZ for this cache (where we originally hid the container) mainly represents the Whomping Willow in the Harry Potter series.

Watch out for those branches - don't get whomped!


monkeydogfish:

This is the third in a series of caches celebrating J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. Soon after we started geocaching, chloboo, being a big Harry Potter reader, came up with the idea to hide a series of Harry Potter caches, one for each book, with a final large bonus geocache called "Thank you, J.K. Rowling!" In each one of chloboo's HP caches, there is a clue for this last cache, which is a mystery cache. Write down that clue or take a photo!

This is the third - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Here are the other published caches in the series:
Chloboo's HP series #1 - Sorcerer's Stone
Chloboo's HP series #2 - Chamber of Secrets
Chloboo's HP series #4 - Goblet of Fire
Chloboo's HP series #5 - Order of the Phoenix
Chloboo's HP series #6 - Half-Blood Prince
Chloboo's HP series #7 - Deathly Hallows

And, of course, the giant bonus cache: Thank you, J.K. Rowling!

This cache is in Hilltop Park, a cool little mini-park in El Segundo. There's a playground here, and a pool that is open in the summer months. Sometimes the park is empty, other times it's crawling with kids.

The Prisoner of Azkaban is hiding in the entrance to the Shrieking Shack. Please make sure the door to the Shrieking Shack is shut tightly when replacing.


Goodies for FTF are a dollar coin, homemade FTF tag, and an unactivated TB dog tag.

Congratulations to benana for FTF!
In through the Whomping Willow to the Shrieking Shack and back without a scratch!
