Hi Everyone.

I wandered over to Mugglenet to read the new clues, and something 
came to mind about sinking.

Here is the quote

>>>>>
The toilet-related running-bits as explained above and listed twice, 
are presumably once again to point us towards bathrooms. A bathroom, 
particularly Moaning Myrtle's, seems to be the focus of these
clues. 
Though sinking is also related to the Basilisk Point of this 
subplot, as pointed out above they could also mean sinking as in 
bathroom sinks with faucets. All variations of sink including 
sinking, sank, and sunk are interrelated.


Notice that when a character does sink into something, it is usually 
a chair, throne, a seat, or any kind of variation which basically 
means toilet. We think J.K.R's intentions are not to gross us out 
with all this toilet humor, but to point us once again towards 
Moaning Myrtle's bathroom and the sink entrance to the Chamber!
>>>>>

In the Arthurian mythological cycle there is a chair, if you sit in 
it, you sink into it, never to be found again. It is a stone 
carved chair at the Round Table. 


This chair is called the Siege Perilous.
