Letters Home
On the first weekend back after holiday break, five Hogwarts students were in the Owlery at the same time, sending letters (and accompanying personal items) home to say they'd made it to school just fine and things were going well. One of the students was eagerly explaining to his friend that his older sister had helped him with the proper wand movement for the Confundus charm, which he had long had difficulty with. Since he wasn't at school, he couldn't properly practice - but now that he was back, he was going to show off his new skill to his friend!
But oh no! The spell's gone wrong! Instead of playing a small trick on another student, the caster has confused the owls! The five owls accept the letters from the five students, but instead of taking them where they need to go, they're taking them somewhere completely different.
See if you can figure out which student used which species of owl (one was a Great Grey owl), what personal item they sent, and where the owl ended up instead of the students' homes, so we can get these packages where they belong!
1. The landlady of the Three Broomsticks was confused herself when she received a letter and a photograph of a Hogwarts Quidditch practice.
2. Dennis wasn't the one that sent sketches of the Hogwarts grounds home.
3. A jumper from either Eleanor or Astoria made it to Madam Malkins' Robes for All Occasions. (Madam Malkin initially thought it might be someone's idea of a product proposal, but once she realized it belonged to someone's mother and was mistakenly taken to school, she forwarded it along.)
4. The five students were: Eleanor, Astoria, the student who sent the photograph of Quidditch practice, the student who chose a Tawny owl, and the person who chose a Scops owl.
5. A Barn owl made an unusual delivery to Gringotts.
6. Somehow one of the owls made it to Eleanor's home! Unfortunately, it was the owl carrying Rose's letter, along with the ring that belonged to Rose's sister that she had accidentally taken to school with her.
7. There were some very confused Ravenclaws who woke up to a Tawny owl rapping on their window outside Ravenclaw Tower and trying to deliver a package of Fizzing Whizbees.
8. Of Eleanor and Jimmy, one chose a Screech owl and one chose a Barn owl.
