BLOCK 4-Clue #4

Some of you seem oh so near
I think that soon our Snitch will appear!
Go to the place that you most suspect
and look for-ANOTHER!-golden object

BLOCK 8-Clue #3

Hey Block 8, guess you’re still stuck
If you need another clue, well now you’re in luck
Just head to the place where Madame Pomfrey would reign
And make sure you’re polite, please don’t be a pain

The Snitch is not found in a jar or a box
and before you enter, you’re expected to knock

BLOCK 4-Clue #3

The Snitch has read his fill of books
So don’t expect him in those nooks
Now you’ll have to broaden your scope
In order for you to have a hope

Of finding this little golden sphere
But don’t go too far! It’s still here
Look instead to a champion’s path
And then perhaps you’ll know where it’s at

BLOCK 8-Clue #2

The Snitch is still hiding-where can it be?
Look inside and you will see
But don’t just look-please ask first!
Though don’t worry, you can’t truly get hurt!

It hasn’t been placed in a central location
Look instead to someone’s station
If you find that you are still guessin’
Think for a bit about a noble profession

BLOCK 4-CLUE #2

The snitch is hiding-can you find the gold?
If you do, your story shall be told
Through all the school, MK will praise
Your brilliance for the rest of days

The Snitch is not in plainest sight
You must focus your efforts to be right
Locate the source, look inside
And the prize is yours-along with pride!

BLOCK 8-CLUE #1

If it is the Snitch you seek
you cannot have a mind that's weak
though Harry sought the Snitch with speed
that's not the skill that you'll most need

You seek a place inside MK
that bustles always, everyday
at journey’s end, you’ll find success
think it through, though-don’t just guess!

BLOCK 4-CLUE #1

If it is the Snitch you seek
you cannot have a mind that's weak
though Harry sought the Snitch with speed
that's not the skill that you'll most need

You seek a place I can not name
though perhaps it'd put you-with a flourish-to shame
Remember this, don't blot it from your mind
Or the Snitch, my friend, you shall never find
