You've Got Owl 3.2
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 3.1, 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. How long has it been? You're not exactly sure, but it has certainly been a while. Has that been a year now? 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. Well, no favorite new postcard so far, so the postcards in your room remain the same.
That day, your owl came again bringing another postcard. You already suspected that there would be more markings, and you were not wrong. This time, the postcard came from Egypt ... again.
OOG: Hover over the picture to read the postcard. There are THREE words in this postcard.
Hello, {%FIRSTNAME%}!
Greetings from Egypt! My name is Pilis, and I'm a real Egyptian. Oh yeah, there are lots of real Egyptians, so I'm not trying to say that I'm special. I live very near to the Nile, actually. That's why I sent this postcard. Whenever I come out of my house, I'd always be able to see the river. It's nice to have a place close to a river - so many things water-related that I can do! Aside from that, it's just nice to sit next to the river on a good day. Even though it doesn't look humongous in the picture, the river is actually REALLY big!

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!
Postcard explanation time, I present you The Nile! It's the longest river in the world - reaching 6,650 km long! Recent research said that the Amazon is longer though, so it will probably be more accurate if I say: the Nile is the longest river in Africa. This river has been a part of the Egyptians' life for such a long time, dating back to the Ancient Egypt era. Do you know that this river is considered the passageway between life and death for the Egyptians?
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 still be in Egypt next week. What place would you like to see from there?
