at the end of the third triwizard task, harry is faced with a riddle. wat did u think the answer was?
here it is:
| QUOTE |
First think of a person who lives in disguise, Who deals in secrets and teells naught but lies. Next, tell me what's always the last thing to mend, Middle of middle and end of end? And finaly give me the sound often heard During the search for a hard to find word. Now string them together, and answer me this, Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss? |
I thought dementor... they're hooded, so live in disguise, u neverr kno wat they'll do. ur soul would be the last thingto mend, if they suck it out. they suck happiness out by kissing, and uhhhhhh or ummmmm is the sound i make when trying to think of a word. sometimes i SCREAM like u would if u saw a dementor... make sense?
well, wat'd u think

When was that said?
Why didn't they answer it?
May be it was the demontors.... i want to find it in the book now, what page anyone?

Oh, no no no. Sorry, i meant when the sphinx asks him at the ebd of the maze, u kno... to get to the cup thing he needed to answer it. And the answer was spider.
i was asking wat u thought it was, before u knew the real answer.

i dont remember what i thought it was, but i would never hav figureed it out!

I think I thought it was some sort of creepy creature that only Hagrid could love.... Like those things that blew fire and looked kinda like scorpions/crabs or whatever.... But then I realized that couldn't be it, cuz it didn't fit the riddle properly.

U were talking about Skrewts. lol, good times
but yeah, i hought that the very first time i read it... then when i reread i thought: DEMENTOR!

When i first read the "Which creature would you be most unwilling to kiss" part i thought, well duh dementor!! But then i thought...tells naught but lies...do dementors talk? No..or at least they havn't yet so i knew it was wrong, but also couldn't figure out the answer.
FISH - July 24, 2005 08:35 PM (GMT)
i sorta guessed it was a spider cause i heard the riddle before but ne way....
mwiley - July 28, 2005 11:04 PM (GMT)
Where did you hear it before you read the book fishy?
You know i thought spider might be it too..but again they can't talk (sept that huge one that i can't remember his name right now :P ) but anyway that led me to think it was wrong.

aragog or w/e was the spiders name
my friend told me
RWeasly2008 - July 29, 2005 01:47 AM (GMT)
Yeah, the last line kind of gives it away. It's more than likely a dementor.
mwiley - August 16, 2005 05:55 AM (GMT)
It would have given it away, sept the answer wasn't dementor, that line was just thrown in there to make everyone think it was something else. I mean the dementors can perform the kiss of death, wouldn't that be enough for you to be most unwilling to kiss it?
Coldfire - August 21, 2005 09:33 PM (GMT)
True, but the first part makes it clear that it can't be a dementor, cuz I was thinking thief or something I believe... You know, I don't think I ever thought it was a Dementor..... weird lol....
mwiley - September 13, 2005 02:04 AM (GMT)
meh i still thought it was a dementor at first.
Maybe thats not weird coldfire, but you are!! lol!
afigirlafi - December 21, 2005 03:03 PM (GMT)
i thought it was a dementor too.
mwiley - January 1, 2006 09:39 PM (GMT)
With the "creature you'd be most unwilling to kiss" (or whatever it was,) That just seemed to be a logical answer, though it didn't really fit with the other clues.

I actually got it right. I thought it was pretty easy. The hardest part to me was "the last thing to mend" but when I read the next line about middle of middle and end of end, it made perfect sense...

My guess woulda been James Bond. Because he has slept with so many people who knows what hes caught. Plus I mean I thought spy since he hardly ever told the truth unless it was his name.

I actualy got it right!! I love riddles and this one was simple.I didn't get the first part about the spy thing but the middle of middle and end of end was simple. For the er I just thought of what the first part was and the third part came to me. lol . then once I got der the kissing part helped me to get spi. Hence spider.

SPIDER????
I thought it was Middle of Middle (D) and End of End (D). This made DD which was also read as, Death Dealer which always lives in disguise, tells naught but lies. I referred kissing as a marital connection and because of that, I really thought that anyone who marries a death dealer would be drained of their life because they would have lived all their lives with a fake. But seriously, spider???

I was thinking like an undercover agent from like the CIA or something. Though of course that's not quite right...
