  1. 112 pieces in 11.2 minutes... could have been A LOT worse
  2. The first special effect is the Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder room. Powder is placed in the room every fifteen minutes to keep it pitch black and dark. You need to follow directions that are shouted from outside the room in order to make your way out; as an added bonus, the voices are chosen to be particularly scary! The second special effect is the old-fashioned Boggart. Sure, anyone who has made their way through third year DADA knows how to defeat them, but they become additionally scary since you are asked to leave your wands at the entrance so that the Boggart is not attacked (stocking a haunted house with fresh Boggarts can be expensive!) Walking through the room without laughing or attacking only enhances the fear factor...

  4. Monday: While preparing my classes for the upcoming term, I will realise that I had somehow forgotten how to spell "Creaothceann" and will end up having to refer to it using "that Scottish game with the boulders" as placeholder language instead. Tuesday: I will get caught on one of the moving staircases while heading from the Dungeons to the Great Hall and fall halfway back down the stairs before remembering that I can use magic to halt my fall. Wednesday: As the sun enters Virgo late in the morning, I will discover that I had been saying one particular word wrong for my entire life and will wonder how on earth I got that misconception (was it a Mandela effect?) Thursday: Nothing eventful will happen at all this day, and I will be happy that for a change nothing went wrong... lulling me into a set of false confidence. Friday: After such a calm Thursday, I will be caught off guard when I'm woken up by falling out of my bed, hitting the floor with a hard thump and having to go to the hospital wing - but I'll be released in time for lunch! Saturday: I will try the latest chocolate from Honeydukes and discover that it is so delicious that every other chocolate I had tasted beforehand will now be wasted on me! Sunday: After such an intense week, I will relax by flying around on my Thunderbolt VIII and end up flying at the fastest speed I had ever flown in my life!
  5. I just received something in my Muggle electronic mail that would be perfect for this! One of my favourite ways to enjoy tea involves adding things that make it icy, sweet, and creamy for a delicious liquid snack. This can be done several different ways, but the best known is probably the "Thai iced tea" - which can be recognised by its orange hue. The hardest part of the recipe is acquiring the tea leaves itself: this usually comes in bags known as "Thai tea mix" (making no secret of where the leaves will end up) imported from Thailand. The next hardest part of the recipe is waiting: for a glass of the tea you'll want to steep 1/3 of a cup of the tea leaves into two cups of boiling water for two hours to get that distinctive flavour right! Towards the end of that time, you can prepare a tall glass with ice and two tablespoons each of sweetened condensed milk and light cream (the cream can be 'half and half' or evaporated milk). Once the two hours are up, you simply strain the tea into a measuring cup and then pour the liquid into the prepared glass! As a bonus, the leftover tea (the part that did not make through straining) can be re-steeped with more boiling water for a lighter cup of tea the next day... but if you want to get a Divination reading out of the tea leaves, you probably want to do that before re-steeping!
  6. Muggle cotton candy looks great and tempting, but ends up sticking to everything and everyone when trying to eat it. So why not simply enchant it to preserve its form until it enters the eater's mouth? That way, the carnival-goer would get to enjoy the full cotton candy experience without having to lose some of their treat to Muggle stickiness (or, worse, then have a hard time using their hands if the cotton candy then stuck to their fingertips). This would be the ideal cotton candy for everyone magical and Muggle; after all, I can't imagine anyone would rather have the cotton candy stuck to their fingertips than in their mouth!
  7. The object on the carousel looks like an ordinary seat when it is not in use. But then, when someone sits down, the object will change into the form of an animal! And this animal will change from person to person as the object has been enchanted to take the form of the Patronus of the rider while the rider is seated on the object! This has been accomplishesd through runes painted on the seat, which form a temporary magical connection with any witch or wizard who is sitting on that seat. The object then "knows" what form to change into to provide a personalised experience!
  8. The first thing that comes to mind when I think of "carnival food" is funnel cake. Maybe it's not my absolute favourite carnival food, but it's one of those things that you rarely find other than carnivals (while other treats such as soft serve ice cream, caramel apples, and so forth, can be easily found in more 'regular' stores). Essentially, funnel cake starts with a batter like one would use to make pancakes, but then it gets fried, poured into a funnel and then topped with powdered sugar or other tasty things. The entire sensory experience simply screams 'carnival' to me, and it's not something you get to have very often, which makes it perfect for this question!
  9. took me way too long to realize that it was the peace sign, not the colour, that determined which ducks were not targets! (one interpretation of the in-game instructions could be "shoot yellow; avoid red and green")
