I bet its Trevor the toad, because he is always escaping and looks like umbrigde...or she looks like him?
Anyway, tell us!
Is srivathsan right?
ooooo

[srivathsan]

Yeah, that's how he deduced it...and he was once reversed...Snape fed him the shrinking potion or whatever and he was turned to a tadpole. So, I do think I am correct...if I am, I'll be so proud of having cracked the clue finally....but I think the credit should go to truegriff...my mind went to a toad only after he mentioned Umbridge looking like a toad in his list.

[truegriff]

I wasn't thinking about Trevor 02:lol:
Well spotted 39:clap:

[Archina]

Yes !!!!!!!!

I don't know for how long I've been kicking myself whilst waiting for someone to get that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WELL DONE BOTH OF YOU! 39:clap: 55b:hat: 39:clap: 41:party: 41:party: 41:party:

I really never thought it would take that long to be solved though! (oh dear.., I don't know what that says about the one's I think are harder and I haven't posted yet..)

Anyway..

"Don't let my face tell my fate;
I resemble one you do hate." -> whose face looks like one we hate? Well, Umbridge is described as having a toad-like face..

"Though I once was reversed," -> you are correct in assuming this relates to the shrinking potion.. when the potion was forced onto poor Trev, his aging process was reversed and he went back to his infancy as a tadpole.

"It's for freedom I thirst,
So do not presume me sedate!" -> this is indeed a reference to his ability as an escape artist.. incidentally, why does Trev escape so much?? Does he know something we don't???


Trevor also fits in with the other riddle I gave (which
I honestly think is more obscure than than the one I just explained..):

"Let us drink before the engine makes it's sound,
at the valuable mineral deposit underground!"

The reaoning here is:
"let us drink".. something to drink.. maybe tea? -> "T". "engine makes it's sound", what sounds can I think of an engine making?? Vroom maybe?..no.., the sound of reving the engine in acceleration??? Yes! -> "rev". A "valuable mineral deposit underground" - this is called an ore, ->or .. and we know the "let us drink" clue comes before the "engine sound" clue.. so..

Tea-rev-ore -> -> TREVOR! ..but if it was me, I don't think I'd have ever got that one!

So good work getting it with the other riddle! 39:clap: 39:clap:

[srivathsan]

Hahaha! Thanks! It's all a team effort! 02:lol:
Bring more on!!!

[chapovalverde]

That is great, tell me you think everyone of those Archina and I promise I'll put a photo of you in my room and treat you as my new god/goddess

[Archina]

Go team "Effort"! 02:toofunny: 02:toofunny:
Team efforts seem to always be the most productive efforts!

Thanks for the compliment Chap but being a deity is a responsibility I am far, far unworthy of... I don't see myself of "god" of my own life, therefore I would never seek to be a god of someone else's.. anyway, I noticed earlier there are pages and pages of other people's riddles on these boards - I'm probably no-where near having written 1%of what they did! 02:lol:

Did others have riddles they wanted to post? I don't want to be a hog! They're fun to write - I think I prefer writing riddles than solving them! 01:)

To tie us over after that hard one, here's a pretty easy play on words for you all:

"colourful apparel"

[truegriff]

Bright Clothes orrrr Red Cloak.
I hate not knowing! hehe

[Archina]

"colourful apparel"

It's a play on words, not a simple description... so anything like Dobby's yellow socks or Mrs Weasley's jumpers isn't going to be the answer! 02:D

The answer isn't actually a colourful peice of clothing, it's something/someone whose name could mean a colourful piece of clothing.. like the Diggory and unicorn riddles.. does this make sense?

[srivathsan]

Errm....no?

[Archina]

"colourful apparel"

a word-play..i.e the same kind of riddle as:
"to have a callous on one's foot" -> unicorn
"bloody use of a spade" -> Diggory
"Let us drink before the engine makes it's sound,
at the valuable mineral deposit underground!" -> Trevor


Therefore, I suggest looking back at how these one's were solved to get an idea about how to tackle this.

[truegriff]

I think this one's gonna last for a long, long time hehe

[GuinnessG1rl]

02:lol: OOOO I absolutely love these riddles!
Its so much fun, lol, esp. when i finally get one...i feel so clever, hehe 04:P

Colourful Apparel

Bright Clothes?
Vibrant Attire?

The simpler they are, the harder they are to crack!

Are we getting anywhere?

[srivathsan]

Archina...I'm lost!

[Archina]

LOL! I'm lost too!!!

"Bright Clothes?
Vibrant Attire?"
It doesn't have any thing to do with these things..

I'll do my best to explain again. I'm sorry I'm unclear but I don't know how to be any clearer than this. For example, an earlier riddle was, "Bloody use of a spade". GuinessG1rl solved it by thinking another word for boody is gore and "use of a spade" is 'to dig"..
so you have gore and dig.. dig and gore -> -> Diggory!

"colourful apparel" is a similar clue to "bloody use of a spade". Think of other words for/words relating to colourful and then think of other words for/ words relating to apparel, put these together and you will have who or what the riddle is for!

Now good luck. 01:)

I have every confidence you will solve it team, after all, you got Trevor..!

[truegriff]

There are not many words for colourful that i can think of.....
or apparel for that matter
Any more clues?
We need help!!!

[Archina]

Maybe start by thinking of words relating to colourful or better yet, types of apparel.. and see if anything fits with someone or something from the series..

[truegriff]

I give up!
Can anyone else help?

[Archina]

Well.. I don't think I'll be able to use the net for about a week now.. so I'm giving you guys a week to get this!

I'm really sure you will. When you hear it, you'll hit yourselves - it's that easy! So, happy guessing!!!

[Archina]

Anyone got any thoughts on the riddle?

"colourful apparel"

Okay.. I'll give another clue. This should make it heaps easier! ..Think PRIMARY..
