New mystery to figure out at www.mugglenet.com

Here's more from their contest page...

SuperSleuth Contest 


Rules: 


There is a secret code/clue buried in all copies of Wizarding World 
Press' Ultimate Unofficial Guide to the Mysteries of Harry Potter 
(Analysis of Books 1-4). MuggleNet has a 5-stanza riddle that tells 
fans how to locate the page where the code/clue is printed in WWP's 
Guide, or how to otherwise view the code if you don't have a copy of 
the Guide. Approximately every 3 days a new stanza will be posted on 
MuggleNet in the news until all 5stanzas have been released.


The object is to use the hints in the riddle to locate the code/clue 
and identify the exact code phrase. At a specified time, a form will 
be made available on the site. The first 200 persons to enter the 
exact, correct code phrase - one entry per e-mail/IP address - will 
be entered in a raffle.


1 Grand Prize winner will win a trip for two (2) on the HP Fan Trips 
tour. The Grand Prize winner must be able to travel to England on 
the dates of the trip (see website), or a replacement winner will be 
chosen from the runner-ups. 5 runner-ups will win their choice of 
any WWP book (The Plot Thickens... Harry Potter Investigated by Fans 
for Fans, New Clues to Harry Potter: Book 5, or the Ultimate Guide 
to the Mysteries of Harry Potter), or a copy of The Sorcerer's 
Companion.


Participants under the age of 18 will be required to obtain 
permission from a parent or guardian in order to compete in the 
contest (this is especially important since the Grand Prize is an 
overseas trip).


The contest is sponsored by MuggleNet, who is not affiliated with or 
endorsed by Warner Bros., Scholastic Books, Raincoast Books, or 
Bloomsbury Publishing. Contest rules and selection of winners are 
the sole responsibility of MuggleNet, the sponsor of the contest, 
who has the final decision on all issues. Wizarding World Press will 
supply the Grand Prize, and those affiliated with MuggleNet, WWP, 
Beyond Boundaries, or other agents of MuggleNet are not eligible to 
win.
