Yes, it's that inevitable moment you've all been waiting for! There was a point when somebody suggested not have a Challenge based around A Very Potter Musical, but...

And so here we are.
For today's Challenge you're going to need the script of AVPM, which can be found by following this link - we recommend that you download the PDF, but it can also be read on the site if for some reason you don't want to download it. You don't need to have read through it or even watched the musical in order to play the Challenge (but your life in general will always be better for having re/watched it) because we know you're all far too busy with The ORG of the Phoenix and definitely can't afford to accidentally spend an entire Saturday on Youtube watching the entire thing in one sitting along with both sequels.... which definitely isn't coming from personal experience...

But anyhow, when you join the Member Group 'What the HELL is a Hufflepuff?' and begin playing the Challenge, you'll be able to see a puzzle that looks something like this:
![](https://i.imgur.com/KXrpxXW.jpg)
To complete the puzzle you'll need to solve the crossword-style clues in the bottom half, then use the cryptogram-style numbering system to copy each letter into the corresponding spot above. So if the answer to the first clue ('Spell to undo a prior curse') started with a 'c' (it does), then you would write the letter 'c' above the line with '18' written under it. And you would also be able to write in the letter 'c' where you see an '18' in the top half of the puzzle. This works the other way as well, so making progress in the top half can help to work out the clues, and then fill in even more on top, etc.
Occasionally you'll see a number written upside down (like the '12' in the clues); these letters should be flipped upside down when you transcribe them to the top half of the puzzle.
If all of your clue answers are correct, the completed top section will spell out a phrase and give you a Trigger to post in your Challenge thread. If your Trigger is correct, it will turn into a Finish Image. (Here is a friendly reminder that all Triggers use capital letters only, with no punctuation or spaces.)
The answers to the example puzzle's clues are:
Counter, Carrow and Yes Sir.
Try plugging them into the grid and see what happens!
Note that the '2' in parentheses tells you that the answer to the third clue is made up of two words.
Note that the upside down letter 12 is an 's' and so is the same letter even when flipped.
However, were the clue for '3' flipped upside down, the letter 'u' in the clue would become 'n' above; be sure to use lowercase when flipping letters!

The actual Challenge will involve a far larger grid with many more clues, and those clues will not be about general Harry Potter trivia. Instead, they will all refer to A Very Potter Musical, references that you can search for within the AVPM script. To reiterate, you don't strictly need to be familiar with the show or the script; just make sure you are comfortable searching through it using the basic Find function (Control + F on PC / Command + F on Mac) and you should be fine.
The player who completes this Challenge the fastest, from joining the Member Group to Triggering the Finish Image, will win Individual Immunity for Sunday night's Magical Council. If the winner is in an Immunity Pair, their partner will also gain Individual Immunity. If they are not in a pair, the winner will be able to assign Individual Immunity to a second player of their choosing.
You must complete this Challenge by 8:30pm AEST Sunday.
