You've Got Owl 6.2
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 6.1, 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. This program allows you to send postcards to other fellow young wizards and witches all over the world, and of course, it also allows you to receive postcards from them in return! You can get up to twenty (or even more at times) postcards every month, isn't it exciting? As usual, today, you got another postcard. Another one from China, eh? You turned the postcard around and saw some red markings again...
OOG: Hover over the picture to read the postcard. There is ONE hidden word in this postcard.
Hello, {%FIRSTNAME%}!
Greetings! My name is Chang and I'm from Beijing, China. I wasn't born here, but I grew up here. Anyway, nice to finally send something to Hogwarts! I always got the chance to send postcards to America and Europe, but never Scotland. I got to say I'm quite excited. Anyway, again, I hope you like this card. This is the Forbidden City of China. If you don't know what this is, well, time to find out, I suppose? This place is one of the most famous tourist destinations, and yet, I've never seen it this close.

So, 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!
Postcard explanation time, I present you the Forbidden City of China! The place is also known as the Imperial Palace -- very cool, eh? This palace was built yearssssss ago, during the Yuan Dynasty. This complex takes up around 720,000 square meters -- THAT huge! Of course, the complex has some private areas for the emperor to live in, but there are places where tourists can visit too! A little fun fact: the roof was designed so that birds can't land there! Interesting, right?
Now, feel free to comment with an idea for the postcard for the next edition! One series will be from one country, so we will have to find another interesting place in China for the next edition! Which place in China would you like to see?
