You've Got Owl 1.4
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!
Anyway, if you missed the article from last week, which is Edition 1.3, feel free to take a look at it HERE!
Since you are reading this, you, {%FULLNAME%}, are still in the "Postcard Exchange Program for Young Wizards" program. Three months into the program, it seems like you need a wall of fame for these amazing postcards. Well, you can't pick a favorite, but surely there could be enough walls to display all of the postcards you have ever received. The Room of Requirement, perhaps? Nevertheless, it's always a joy to receive postcards, and also to send postcards. The last postcard you sent was, finally, to Indonesia! The name of the person was Bambang, and according to the address you got, he lives in the capital.
That day, your owl came again bringing another postcard. Just in time before you got into a classroom! Surely you didn't waste your time waiting until the class was over to read this postcard. Sorry, Professor, but this postcard is also important! You turn the postcard around and ... huh, no weird markings this time?
OOG: There is no word in this postcard. It's a bonus!
How are you, {%FIRSTNAME%}?
My name is Retno, nice to "meet" you! I live in Yogyakarta, the capital city of the only province in Indonesia where we still have a sultan leading it. Yes, it's a special province (even has the word special in the name). Anyway, this picture is Borobudur Temple. It's not located in Yogyakarta, to be precise, but it's not that far from my city. I visited this temple a few times already, and it NEVER got boring! All the stupas are so cool, and there are a lot of interesting stuff to learn. You should come here if you ever visit the country!

So, today we have no red marks on the postcard because instead of giving more clues, I will announce the winners from the entire first editions who got the answer correctly! Before I announce the winner, the answer is Adrian Tutley. The keywords are gerbil, wizard, and animagus. Adrian Tutley was a wizard who had gerbil as his Animagus form! So, without any further ado, the winners are....
Venus DeRose
Ayana Akari
Wednesday Raven
Jason Flame
Rachel Lenan
Ace Anderson
Mimi Remington
Congratulations to all winners! You will receive your gifts soon!! Anyway, just a refresher for the rules: you will find some different letters written on each postcard. Those letters will form some words, and it's your job to find what words these postcards have! Gather these words from all the editions in one series, 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 (there will be a deadline for the answer), 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!
Now, postcard explanation time, I present you Borobudur Temple! This is the oldest Buddhist temple in Indonesia, and it was once buried under the ground a looong time ago. This temple is really huge. It has some floors, and the entire wall is full of carved reliefs telling various stories. You can use the stairs to get to the top of the temple, but it's quite high ... around 100-150 steps of stairs. Not bad, but tiring! Now, feel free to comment with an idea for the postcard for the next edition or series! One series will be from one country, so, we will completely change the country next week! What country would you like to see first, and what place would you like to see from that country? XD
