You've Got Owl 3.1
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!
Anyway, if you missed the article from last week, which is Edition 2.4, 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. How long has it been? You're not exactly sure, but it has certainly been a while. Almost a year, wow! Your collected postcards ... you practically put them anywhere, you could not even keep track of them anymore. Some of them are back home, some of them are in the Room of Requirements, and some of them are in your dorm room. Well, at least you keep some postcards that are your favorites in your room. That way, you can look at them whenever you feel like it! When you find a new favorite, one of these shall go. Yesterday, you got a card from China which naturally became your favorite, so you had to yeet one away. Nothing personal, postcard from Brazil.
That day, your owl came again bringing another postcard. Ah, you actually just finished writing a postcard to be sent to someone in Kosovo. What a nice timing! You left your postcard for a while to read the one that you just received. Ah, this time, it's no longer from New Zealand, but the weird markings ... are there again.
OOG: Hover over the picture to read the postcard. There is ONE word in this postcard.
Hello, {%FIRSTNAME%}!
Pleasure to meet you through this program! My name is Layla and I live in Egypt. I wasn't born in Egypt, actually. I was born in Saudi Arabia, but my family is Egyptian! I was born there because my parents were working there. When I turned 4, we moved back to Egypt. Ever since then, I've always LOVED this country! You might be confused because it's very hot in here (I hear it's very cold in Scotland?), but I guess I'm used to the heat. It's not like Saudi Arabia is cold anyway! :D

As usual, 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 Pyramids of Giza - and the Sphinx! I've never been here before, of course, but I always knew of this place by reading encyclopedia. This place always amazes me because apparently it's HUGE? I also read that they had a cement-like technology to put the bricks together to form the pyramids. It's very interesting! Thank you, Blue Styll, for suggesting Egypt!
