HP4GU Contest #18 -- The Superdelicious Harry Potter Crossword

No: HPFGUIDX 28269

This week's contest is a crossword puzzle - a very large, long one 
that should delight the little hearts of HP fans.

In order to do the puzzle, you will have to go to our files section 
and download the diagram (or you may be able to open the file and 
print it without actually downloading, depending on your Internet 
browser or something).  Here's where to go:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/files/HP4GU%20Contest/

Make sure you download the diagram file for Contest #18.  (crossword 
diagram.jpg or crossword diagram.wpd)  The JPG version is a standard 
graphics file that most types of photography and graphics software 
can read, and the WPD file is a wordperfect file that most word 
processing programs can read. If you can't figure out how to download 
the diagram, let me know and I will email it to you.  (Let me know if 
you want the JPG file or else what type of wordprocessing software 
you use, including version#.)

Since I don't want to get file attachments from people, given all the 
virus problems of late, if you want to enter the contest just write 
the answer to each clue, both across and down, and send it to me at 
HP4GUCon at aol.com or to the above address (as usual, save your email 
until you get a reply).

If you don't want to go to the trouble of typing out all the answers 
(understandable), but you manage to finish the entire puzzle, let me 
know anyway.  But I want you to swear on a stack of HP First Editions 
that you really did complete the puzzle, and keep in mind there is an 
anti-cheating spell on your quill.

Here is the word list.  Enjoy.
