thanks for all the fun! exactly the way I remembered the game...

Left to right we have: my lucky uniform number, my monogram (rotated L under W), a four leaf clover and a green anaconda (my Patronus form).

[OUT OF CHARACTER] I didn't think I was that bad at Scrabble until I went to a summer camp at the age of sixteen and encountered some very high quality amateur players... who seemed like they were in an entirely different league. After the summer ended I got a book on Scrabble strategy and learned that it wasn't as vocabulary based as I would have thought; the first and most important strategy bit was to "memorize the twos" - all the two letter words that were valid for Scrabble. I couldn't quite get all the way through the 'twos' before I had to do other things like apply to undergrad, but I think I still remember the fifteen (at the time) legal two words beginning with the letter A: "AA, AE, AI" (the ones with two vowels) and then other groups of three: "AD, AG, AH", "AL, AM, AN", "AR, AS, AT", and finally "AW, AX, AY". Also worth note was the words with Qs without a U: the first three on that list were "QAT, QAID, QANAT". Finally, in undergrad I entered a very competitive in-dorm Scrabble tournament; I got the dream by spelling the word QUIZ in the upper right hand corner with "Q" on the triple letter space and Z on the triple word space! Even using a blank for one of the vowels that gave me (30 + 1 + 10) * 3 = 123 points, plus whatever I landed on the cross word... needless to say I comfortably advanced to the second round!

The sport of skeleton, which returned to the Winter Olympics in 2002 after nearly a half century hiatus, was invented by a Squib who wanted to invent a sport he could always win at... and who couldn't get enough of Halloween. Thinking of various creatures associated with Halloween he ultimately decided on the skeleton for his sport's namesake; because he loved lying down in bed and pretending he was good at sports, he made this sport involve lying down on a sled and going as fast as you can. He may or may not have used an enchanted sled to win a medal or two... that part is up for debate!

how long do I have to wait for someone to reply before I can post again? Currently at 3 for Would You Rather and 1 for Word Chain... but I've waited nearly 72 hours for someone to follow up with my response to the latter!

Newt Scamander - funny... the wiki refers to him as if he had died, but... I think he's still alive! 1. I am a Sagittarius. 2. I absolutely love dragons. 3. One of my favourite possessions is a pink umbrella.
