WOMBAT and Wiggenweld

[Annemehr]

I was reading the Lexicon commentary on the latest WOMBAT, and the 
responses to the Draught of the Living Death item of question 15 (match 
the dangerous being, plant, or potion with the spell, substance or 
object that will conquer it) caught my attention.

Here's a link to the Lexicon's analysis:

In their answers, Lisa and Belinda both refer to a Famous Hags card 
from the PoA video game: that of one Leticia Somnolens, who, it says, 
poisoned Sleeping Beauty with a spindle tainted with DOLD.

(Scroll down to almost the very bottom, to the list of Famous Hags.)

According to Somnolens's card, our Prince Charming was really a wizard 
who was using Wiggenweld Potion as a lip gloss when he smooched Ms. 
Beauty.

Well, you see the problem.  There IS no "Wiggenweld" offered as a 
choice for a "spell, substance or object" that will conquer anything.  
Lisa and Belinda go ahead and choose other things (Phoenix tears and 
chocolate, respectively), but hang on a minute...

How could Wiggenweld fail to be one of the options?  Aren't these cards 
supposed to be *canon*?  

I recall participating in a debate, right here on this list, on this 
very subject a while back...

*rummages*

Yep. It's in an *old* WOMBAT thread, a little four-poster started by 
Talisman in message number 4055.  Steve attests that JKR wrote the 
cards, but then in message 4063 I air my doubts:

>>>Anne:
This question was actually asked about in the Lexicon/Mugglenet joint
open letter to JKR, which she answered in her FAQs. However, her
answer seems a bit imprecise:

"Yes, I wrote the information on the original Famous Wizard cards. As
you have noticed, a few of them have now popped up on the `Wizard of
the Month' cards on my website desk. "

What does she mean by "original?"<<<

I really think it must mean that JKR wrote some cards to begin with -- 
the "originals" -- but then EA must have added to them, just as they 
added new spells ("Flippendo."  Honestly, what kind of a spell is 
that?).


So... what the heck *does* conquer DOLD???  Nothing really seems to fit.

Anne,
who got Acceptable the first time, then hashed it all out with 
Talisman, took it twice more, and got Outstandings. SUCH a cheater!

P.S. Oh yeah, I put phoenix tears and bezoar for the question in 
question, on my two Outstandings (and phoenix tears on my A, too).
