You've Got Owl 2.2
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 2.1, 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. It has been so long, and the number of your postcards ... well, let's just say that there are SO many you don't even bother counting anymore. However, you still enjoy every writing that you received. It's quite surprising and interesting how you keep receiving different postcards, no matter from which country they are. At this point, of course, it would be normal if you receive two same postcards (the picture not the content), but no, none so far. You always got different ones. Hey, even one same object can be taken from different angles to make it look different for postcards! Incredible, eh?
As usual, it was a fine morning. Your owl came bringing another postcard for you! You take it from your owl, and as usual, you see ... strange markings. Of course. You take a deep breath and start reading.
OOG: There is one word in this postcard.
Hello, {%FIRSTNAME%}!
Pleased to meet you. My name is Luca and I came from New Zealand! I always wonder, since you go to school at Hogwarts, which country are you exactly from? I just found out today that United Kingdom is a union of several countries - I swear I thought it's a country. Anyway, this picture is the Hunua Falls. It's a waterfall in the Hunua Ranges, a park in Auckland. My family and I like to go here during holidays to do mountain biking, jogging, or bird watching. Fun activities I'm telling you!

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 Hunua Falls from Hunua Ranges! Again, I've never been here before. Google really helped. I chose this place because it's different. Most tourist destinations in New Zealand are national parks, and the pictures are all ... islands? A waterfall looks very different, hence why I decided to choose this one for this edition! And yes, just like what Luca said, it's possible to do mountain biking, jogging or walking, bird watching, and even drone flying here!
