1. Though rubbish may be what I profess to possess, what I truly have is this humble address.

“The Burrow,” Ottery St. Catchpole, Devon, near Stoatshead Hill.

Yes, Yes, Yes! Congratulations Shadowcat! That is EXACTLY what Fawkes was looking for as the answer to this riddle.

Well Done indeed!

Now for a tiny give away as to how that particular riddle worked. Where it states about Though rubbish may be what I profess to possess is a direct referance to Ron Weasley's statement of " Why is it that everything I have is rubbish?"

2. Once upon a time long ago in the 60’s, there was a short lived television show. Its title was named for this family name which must grow. To be the maternal one is to have this same name, and the star of that television show was Phyllis Diller, the star of Match Game.. Now South Hampton in the US is way cross the pond, but I bet you a Galleon of Phyllis this other would be very fond.[/size]



3. The daughter of the Huguenots did swim into his life, though their time together was full of love as well as great strife. He was to be the most prized of them all, for he was slim and tall and cherished adventure and glamor was truly brave above all. [/size] Answered by Miss Charlotte. Bill Weasley




4. Being the one in the middle of many can truly be hard. Why then did this one go and become a second hand bard. To serve the cauldron, both thick and thin, it was almost too late when repentance kicked in. To be by the side of one of the two, what should have happened earlier is a foot in his butt with a pointy old shoe. [/size] Answered by rin68nyr. Percy Weasley.



5. First one among many already did I come home to stay, until a fanciful eye was turned toward the scarred ones way. A hex was to be a prized possession that she would use one day, in order the loved one and their friends might get away. [/size] Answered by Fangsfan1. Ginny Weasley










Now go ahead and answer if you please and show Fawkes here that more goes through your mind than the mornings breeze.

Well, it looks to Old Fawkes that we have hit a snag.
You see this Riddle may be about a female in Rags
Though no Winky is not, to be the one who be sought
But for the Ginger atop, and without her the family would be upsot (ok it rhymed).
Now who she once was is the key to this today,
Go on and venture a name, go on and just say....

Is this the Sonorus spell that Ludo used to magnify his voice for his commentary at the Quidditch World Cup?

Wow.... I can't seem to place either of these right now. I'll try in the morning if someone else does not beat me to it.

[fangsfan1]

1. Immense in size, with walls of gold, a good 20 minute walk to me with a lantern aloft I am told.

It sounds like the huge stadium with gold walls where the held the Quidditch World Cup. I had forgotten all about this, had to look it up.

[grandpalovegood]

gold walls? I didn't remember that either. I guess I need to reread that book again.

good luck
