ohmy.gif good god! very good! then again, I'm rubbish at this. your turn again!
Kymar
Very sorry about the abbreviation before, I had just finished talking to someone on messenger, and I was kind of in the habit. Won't happen again
Jojo
I just have to put in a few anagrams that amaze me:

"ASTRONOMERS" becomes "MOON STARERS."
"MALES NEVER ASK FOR DIRECTIONS" becomes "KEEN CRISIS OF MEN'S ROAD TRAVEL"
"A DECIMAL POINT" becomes "I'M A DOT IN A PLACE."
"TIRED NERVES" becomes "DRIVE TENSER."

And (as far as I'm concerned) the best anagram of all time:
"TO BE OR NOT TO BE: THAT IS THE QUESTION, WHETHER 'TIS NOBLER IN THE MIND TO SUFFER THE SLINGS AND ARROWS OF OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE" becomes "IN ONE OF THE BARD'S BEST-THOUGHT-OF TRAGEDIES, OUR INSISTENT HERO, HAMLET, QUERIES ON TWO FRONTS ABOUT HOW LIFE TURNS ROTTEN."

These have nothing to do with the topic, really, but as long as we're talking about anagrams, I thought I had to put this in.
HPgoldsnitch
omg, that is so cool jojo.

See what you make of these, I tried to make them tougher than my last bunch, but you guys are all pretty smart, so I’m sure they’ll be no problem. (Hope you like the Harry reference in number 2, I was so excited when I realised I could make these words do this!!)

1. As shiny evil grains fib
2. “Be ice,” champion begs Chang
3. King F. had nil food

EDIT (26/3/07): It's been a while - anyone need a hint?

ANSWERS

4. Venomous Tentacula
5. Mimbulus Mimbletonia

1. Hallway Holds Teeth = Deathly Hallows

2. Ethical Serpent = The Prince's Tale

3.Drat. Galling Dweller! = Gellert Grindelwald

OK...Kaitlyn was right with her four right answers, the last one..

Since it's been quite a while since a new anagram has been given, I'm going to give you a smallish, easy one to get things rolling again.

Feeblest, boldhearted hate.

Have fun! If you need a hint, I can be bribed.
felix_felicis_444
It's so sad that this thread has disappeared into oblivion! sad.gif Remember when this was such a happening thread? Come on, guys...anagrams rule!!! tongue.gif

If my calculations are correct, I think I've solved your anagram, Janet:

Feeblest, boldhearted hate.

=

The Tales of Beedle the Bard


Yes, no? huh.gif
passerby
Correct! Great job, David!
taterchris
I want to keep this thread alive. No posts in a month... I'll change that! wink.gif

Here's mine. Keep in mind that punctuation has nothing to do with the final result.

1) The bees trick Tom Rosh

2) Got grins T?

3) Mom! Roan Alf!

4) Ok son. Poke Josh Z.

5) Dino barks burne

2 is incredbly easy. 3 is easy. 1 is the hardest. 4 & 5 are moderately difficult. These are HP place names. You have until tomorrow before the next hint comes. Go.
Ima_LoOnYLoVeGoOd
I know 2 is Gringotts... i think? lol

I'll try to figure out more in a little bit...
smile.gif
Witherwings
2) Gringotts
5) I thought it's be Borgin and Burkes, but isn't there a letter missing?

That's all I've got for now. huh.gif

EDIT: Woops, Kristina I didn't see your post. Sorry! happy.gif
taterchris
I think you're right Witherwings. I missed a "G". The Actual saying is:

5) e.g: Dino barks burn

Sorry about that! wink.gif You are both right about #2 anyway, and Witherwings has #5 right. Try to get them all!

Oh, and since so much progress has been made, here's the next clue (to #s 1, 3 & 4), a full 23 1/2 hours early:

None are in Diagon Alley or Knockturn Alley. No alleys.
DeSs
I got one!!

4) Zonko's Joke Shop

Trying to do the others!


Oooh ... they're tricky!
More clues, pleeeease!
taterchris
Correct DeSs! thumbsup.gif It is Zonko's!

Now only 1 and 3 left. Remember, 1 is the hardest, while 3 is about so-so. Good luck! Here's your last hint if the next person gets both 1 and 3, or your second last if there's one left.
HINT: One is good, one is evil. The word "one" doesn't mean #1. Oooh, cryptic. But easy to understand if you think about it for a minute.
Ima_LoOnYLoVeGoOd
I was thinking that #3 could be Malfoy Manor but theres no y... o well, ill keep trying!!! smile.gif

And #1 is The Three Broomsticks!!!!! smile.gif so all of them are:

1) The Three Broomsticks
2) Gringotts
3) Malfoy Manor (if there is a y, but if not... i dunno smile.gif )
4) Zonkos Joke Shop
And
5) Borgin and Burkes


I only got 2 (maybe 3) out of the 5, but i thought i should just list them all anyways!!!!
taterchris
You're right Ima_LoOnYLoVeGoOd! thumbsup.gif And I'm sorry I kept leaving out letters. I guess I just don't press the keys hard enough. Anyway, it's your turn. Next time, I'll make sure that I get ALL the letters!
Ima_LoOnYLoVeGoOd
Ok, i got 4 for you guys!!! smile.gif

1) Amiga sun
2) Aeon ram it
3) Air club kiss
And!!!!!!!
4) All envys I

They are probably not very hard... lol im not very good at this stuff!!! smile.gif Anyways, if nobody can get them, ill post some hints! Have fun!!! smile.gif
harry_potter_luvr_4life
1=Animagus. That's all I can get. Well for now. I'll ponder some more and see if I can get some more.
uzzzkata
Hello.
3. is Sirius Black...
I'll think about the rest...
they don't seem too easy(at least not for me tongue.gif )
Witherwings
Oooh, my goodness. Either they're hard or I'm a doofus. laugh.gif Is it possible we could get a hint?
Ima_LoOnYLoVeGoOd
harry_potter_luvr_4life you got #1 and uzzzkata you got #3!!! Good job guys!!!

Ok, one of my hints is that one of the two left is a person and the other is a something that aids a wizard with magic (i.e. it could be a charm, hex, jinx, spell, potion, etc.) maybe i didnt word it right, but hopefully you guys get what im saying!!! Hope that helps!
uzzzkata
I got #4! biggrin.gif Lily Evans!

And I think no.2 is Amortentia, only there's a t missing huh.gif ?? That's the best I could think of... shy.gif
Ima_LoOnYLoVeGoOd
Yes uzzzkata your right!!! And #2 is Amortentia, sorry about that missing letter!!!!! So, since you got 3 out of the 4, your up uzzzkata!! smile.gif
uzzzkata
Cool! I've never thought I'd be good at this sort of thing.... happy.gif
I've got 3 for you, but I'm not sure if abbreviations are allowed... If not, I'll try to make new ones instead.
Also, I'm not sure if I haven't invented some new words here...blink.gif wacko.gif .
However, the answers are real HP words, don't worry! biggrin.gif

1. Foul fat im
2. Nobler Snape vs L.L.
3. Stamp rec muse

So good luck! smile.gif
HP'sPrincessFiona
1. Muffliato
2. Nonverbal Spells
3. Sectumsempra

am I right?
uzzzkata
Yes!!! happy.gif You've guessed them, HP'sPrincessFiona, well done! thumbsup.gif

Now it's your turn! smile.gif
HP'sPrincessFiona
Okay, I'll post three. I have a lot more but these are pretty difficult. If no one gets them I'll leave hints. Yes, they are all Harry Potter words, but they aren't the most common ones. They are in order of easiest to hardest.. at least in my opinion.

1. Manicured Gage
2. Lasagna Herb Menu
3. Captain Corny Frogs

good luck! biggrin.gif
hot-for-harry
AAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
these are hard!
please leave some hints, because i like the anagrams but their very hard(but brilliant)!
HP'sPrincessFiona
Yeah, I figured they'd be pretty difficult.

alright, i'll leave a hint for each of them, but I don't want to give too much away

1. Harry has had multiple problems with this
2. Mentioned in book 6, its muggle counterpart is a famous time-killer that I know all of you have heard of.
3. Also mentioned in book 6 by a character who could probably solve this one upside-down.

wow, I probably just gave them all away. I'm no good at subtle hints.

Edit: since this appears to be a pretty difficult one, I'll elaborate further on my hints.

The first one, in my opinion is a pretty hefty hint to begin with, but I will also tell you that his problems with this always happen over the holidays.

The second one, you might have noticed that I italicized 'ear', which is, of course, a reference to George, and since the most you see of the twins in book 6 is in their store, it might be useful to look into things related to it.

The third one, the character I described was Luna Lovegood, because she was reading the Quibbler upside-down, and we all know what sort of things are normally mentioned by Luna Lovegood, right? Nargles, anyone?
Ima_LoOnYLoVeGoOd
OOOOOOOO, # 1 is Underage Magic! haha lol... biggrin.gif

ill try and get more later... biggrin.gif

Edit: # 2 is Reusable Hangman... And im still not sure about the last one...
harry_potter_luvr_4life
I still can't figure out the last one. It's very hard. Hint?? Maybe. Please... Thanks.

~LejaBug~
Ima_LoOnYLoVeGoOd
Rotfang Conspiracy is the third one smile.gif
HP'sPrincessFiona
Ima_LoOnYLoVeGoOd you got them! Great job, you're up.
Ima_LoOnYLoVeGoOd
Ok heres some for you:

1) An Evil Lord
2) Try Hero Part
3) Man So Hated
4) Love in a Dram
5) Portrayed Orphaned Hero for the Next Hit

I think they are pretty easy, but the last one may be hard. Good luck, and have fun!!! biggrin.gif
harry_potter_luvr_4life
My first guess for 1 was Voldemort but that doesn't fit... I'm going to ask for a hint already. Please. I'm pathetic I know.

LejaBlackNails
HP'sPrincessFiona
1. Ollivander
2. Harry Potter
3. Dean Thomas
4. Romilda Vane
5. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
harry_potter_luvr_4life
I'm going to say that HP'SPrincessFiona got all of the right. You're way to good. Well anyways... The past two times I've tried to do one of these I've been sick. And still am. Oh well.
