WEBHUNT

The Triwizard tournament is going to start, and guess who the finalists are, Harry Potter, Cedric Diggory, Fleur Delacour, and Viktor Krum. That wouldn't have required much guessing, but the challenges in this Triwizard championship would do. To make the first challenge more exciting and intense, the ministry of magic ordered the dementors to leave Azkaban and guard a specific "place." The finalists were required to go inside this place without being noticed by the dementors (or you know what would happen). Harry, having much less knowledge about the places around, decided to ask Hermoine for help. Hermoine being the perfectionist, exactly knows the spell that would teleport Harry inside this specific "place." But the prerequisites require Harry to have the name of this "place." He asks his friend who studies at IIT Kanpur for help. His friend gives him a paper and then vanishes. Harry squinted as he read it aloud: "It's at the place where it all started for me. To rise, one needs to break the stigma. The name lies at an asylum in same neighbourhood". To that, Hermoine replied, "But we didn't find anything there, we really need to read in between the lines now." Harry approaches you for help. Can you name this "place."

Harry completed his first challenge, all thanks to you. Alas, Harry had another vision inside this asylum! He found that a Horcrux was present somewhere here. Only one "person" can help him in this situation because he knows a lot about magical objects and even has a shop! (he was a part of the harry potter universe :p). As Harry began looking for clues, his mysterious friend from IIT Kanpur appeared once again and handed him the manuscript, informing him that the hint related to this "person" is somewhere in this phrase, and then he vanished. Harry read aloud: "People sometimes become attached □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ "Ninja Hatori??" He got a bit confused, as, in his universe, no one knew that person, but they both share the first name. Can you help Harry in finding the name of the "person"?

Cedric also made it into the asylum and agreed to help Harry. They wandered into the asylum. The humidity around was making it harder for Cedric Diggory to figure their way out past the dark, hot, and damp growth on the floor. “I guess we’re lost now,” Harry whispered. “You don’t worry, concentrate, and don’t lose focus. You would be able to figure out the location.” But I am struggling. My mind is not here”. At that instant, a paper appeared out of the blue (given by the guy from IITK). It vanished at the very exact moment, though, burning off like a magnesium ribbon. But Harry was quick enough to read it: “ Lost and found, you need to go through me.” What could possibly be the answer that would help Harry to advance for the following stages?

Harry and Cedric advanced to the third stage of the Triwizard championship, followed by Fleur and finally Victor. As for the next puzzle, they were gathered near The Whomping Willow, but beware, not too close. Whoever enters the tree first would succeed in this challenge. This time even Hermoine ran out of spells to calm the tree. The mysterious guy, who is breaking the reality entering the Harry Potter universe, appeared once again. Although he loves Harry Potter, he cannot constantly keep helping Harry. So he told Harry that he would give him the spell, but then Harry had to solve a riddle for his upcoming Mental Health quiz. Harry agreed, and the fellow started reciting the puzzle -"All the ones, with no predecessor, have one predecessor. All the branches lead to one path. Name the universal root" Can you help Harry answer this riddle and get in the tree.

Harry entered the tree!! Just like we all do every year and the branches grow, Freshers being the buds of the tree. But let's stay in Harry's universe. Things start looking good for Harry as well. He was the first to enter the Whomping Willow. Also, he met Sirius, his father's childhood friend, godfather to him. He told Harry that the one who shall not be named has returned in the overworld. Sirius can only protect him from shadows because he was being hunted by the dementors guarding the place (remember the first puzzle). But what if Harry got lost in the lush green forest? Who will help him? Suddenly the same guy appeared. He won't really give up, would he? He comforted Harry "In the green background, a banner reads that say their name out loud in American, they are available." That doesn't make much sense, does it? Well, Harry has to find a way out to protect himself from the dark forces of the one who shall not be named. He approaches you to help. Can you find whose name Harry has to call out loud?

Looks like you follow counseling service, as that would have helped you to get to the answers, to the previous riddle, and all other things as well. I'm mingling the realities again. Let's help Harry for now. Finally, without the worries, he can focus on the Championship (sounds similar? :p.) More than half of the tournament is over, so the stakes are getting high. For the next task, Harry needs to save something dear and vital to him, from Hogwarts lake. Lucky him, this time, there are no grindylows to hunt him down. But the people he needed to save were Seamus, Dean Thomas, Ronald Weasley, and Neville Longbottom. Do they have anything in common who knows? Anyway, Harry loved them as there was a time when "he wished he had more friends." Suddenly he remembered an article he read in a different universe, stood up, and jumped straight into the water to save them. Can you find the name of the article that motivated Harry? Maybe you'd get some motivation from it as well.

Harry saved his friends. They all believed in him, and he did it. After hours of hunting and thinking, the competition now enters the final round. Harry is in the lead, followed by Cedric, the Fleur, finally Krum. They were handed a scroll in which there was a manuscript (The final one.) Turns out, the manuscript was empty (Kung Fu Panda reference?). Anyways the mysterious guy finally returned (you sure would have missed him the last riddle.) He read between the grains of paper (Engineering drawing helped him see things in complete chaos). But little did he know the manuscript changed its question according to the user. He read aloud, "It's not about the destination, but the journey." After reading, he told Harry that it seemed the questions were different for him and Harry, but the answers were the same, and then poof, he vanished. Harry stops a moment and thinks about how much he learned throughout the day. He began to respect the little things and life and understood more about his peers. He remembered something similar back at Hogwarts. Say the name of series and win the cup.

Harry should have listened to Sirius's warnings, turns out, the name of the previous series was a spell for teleportation. As soon as he said it, he got teleported to a deserted place, as if the world had become black and white for him. Cedric also joined Harry and informed him that Fleur and Victor could not answer the previous riddle and were eliminated. Suddenly Moldevort appeared! What no resurrection needed, he grew more powerful than the last time, able to resurrect himself. Suddenly, he cast the killing curse on Harry, but the "guy" appeared at this very moment. He had some idea about the counter curse for Avada Kedavra. The only problem was that he knew only the first step. The current series name is the first step of the counter curse. What could be the spell (Spells are usually not in English)?

As the two spells collided, there was a massive energy surge in the surroundings, Harry lost consciousness. His life began flashing in front of his eyes. His memories were being played like a video one by one. After crossing the seven seas of memories, he found himself at Ocala. What was he doing there? He had never been to Ocala. Well, The "guy" sent Harry into a mind palace where there was a secret. This secret can help him defeating Moldevort. This secret can help him become something, something that would overcome his only weakness in defeating Moldevort. Harry carefully analyzed the memory (so should you, as it may help in the future), and finally became what?

Harry woke up with this new strength, casted a new spell, defeating moldevort, and saving Cedric too. They both teleported back to the final arena. As they were able to complete the challenge simultaneously, it was a problem. According to you, who was the real winner here? (Harry, Cedric, the mysterious guy from IITK, you and your team, or our team, who made this messed up harry potter universe)?
