You've Got Owl 1.1
by Isla Brisbane
Welcome to You’ve Got Owl! My name is Isla Brisbane and this will be a weekly blog post filled with a little mystery and a game that you can participate in! So, of course, according to the title, it means you got something sent for you. However, before you run to your owl, let me set the mood first, alright? Here comes the RPG part!
Recently, you, {%FULLNAME%}, joined a program called "Postcard Exchange Program for Young Wizards". By joining this program, this means you allow other young wizards from all over the world to send postcards to you, and you have to send them postcards back. However, it is also totally random so you may get a postcard from one person, but you may have to send a postcard to a completely different person. By doing this, not only do you earn a chance to have new friends, you will also expand your knowledge related to other countries.
For your first postcard, you got an address in Japan. Mahoutokoro! How exciting! So, you sent that postcard to the address you got. A few days after that, you are just enjoying your breakfast in the Great Hall. But wait, some owls are coming to deliver letters - including YOUR owl! Why don’t you go check your owl and see what did it get for you…?
OOG: Hover over the picture to read the message. There is only ONE WORD in this writing.
Hey there, {%FIRSTNAME%}!!
My name is Sandra and I come from Indonesia. So, uh, seeing that I have your name here, it means you also joined the Postcard Exchange Program for Young Wizards, right? Well, I did too! I think this is a very exciting idea and I love to get to know more about you! Oh, but some fun facts about me first: I’m 13 years old, and my favorite subject is Charms. I have a ferret called Kacang as a pet. I heard that it’s not allowed in Hogwarts? It’s allowed here!
Can’t wait to read from you!

But wait, what are those strange markings throughout the text...?
Alright! After reading this postcard, you must have realized that there are some different letters written there, no? So those letters will form some words! Gather these words until the next two editions, and after you find all the words, find one thing from the Harry Potter Universe that is related to these words! For example, if the hidden words are steal, shiny, beast, cute, gold, then the final answer would be Niffler!
Send ONLY the final answer through owl to Isla Brisbane at the end of every series (so, according to the example, you only need to send "Niffler" to me). If you get it correctly before the next series gets posted, then you will receive a little gift for your participation! Every series will have 3 editions, so make sure to always pay attention to the details and get the final answers according to your clues correctly!
Also, feel free to comment with an idea for the postcard for the next edition or series! Today, I present you a paddy field in Indonesia! One series will be from one country, so, for the next edition (still in one series), what kind of view that you would like to see from Indonesia?
