Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

I haven't seen any confirmation or shooting down of the idea that the performance will take the form of a "flash mob," for lack of a better term. I personally hope that is not the case. It would really break the immersion for me. Better to keep it a show within the fictional world, like the Frog Choir and Triwizard Spirit Rally.

Ready, aim: *bang* *bang* *bang* RATTATATTAT!

It will be fun to see someone assemble all four clues into the one coherent explanation. That's what I was going for.

:thumbs: Got it. Thank you.

BTW, :welcome: acupofpinktea and great work on the riddle! Hope to see you post again, and frequently :thumbs:

Who wants to give it a go?

 

[disjr77]

These riddles are awesome. Just my 2 cents. They get me thinking haha

:iagree:

So a traveling Acting Troupe (possibly lead my Lord Strange) does a show in Carkit Market where they perform one of the 5 tales from Beedle the Bard? As to which one is performed is random.

 

[PWT]

Nope. Just means someone booked the park for a private event that night. So they close the park early.

There was numerous days (7+) that were cut, it's not just one or two days for a private event.

ding ding ding! I believe I may have already shown you a bit of how the show will be selected, and by what. This may have changed*, but I hope not. :look:

*changed is not the correct word, but I dare not speak the two words it replaces.

 

[Mad Dog]

You guys are really good. I'm impressed.

Some sort of gear-driven device that randomly selects the show. Perhaps something like the clock in the Weasley house?

 

[Felipe]

Nice job, Gambit! :thumbs: ...only for Teebin to go and throw another wrench in the gears

That'd be wicked cool!

I think it is quite a bit more abstract than that... but I really don't know how it will play out.

 

[GGGhost]

not near the boiling water when it splashed,​

Perhaps the Fountain of Fair Fortune plays a role in choosing which show will be performed.

There were no clues in that part.

Here are the intended clues:

Although Lord Strange and the quintuplets were
not near the boiling water when it splashed,
Lord Strange maintained a serious skald.
A seemingly random event indeed.​

 

[Doug A.]

The term "skald" translates into poet, does that have anything to do with it?

 

[Teebin]

^ From wiki:

"The technical demands of the skaldic form were equal to, if not greater than, the complicated verse forms mastered by the Welsh bards"

 

[Doug A.]

Yes that's where I got the translation from, so your saying no relation to your riddle? Well it was a shot in the dark so to speak

I think Teebin's thought process was Skald=Skaldic=Welsh Bards=Beedle the Bard

 

[Doug A.]

Ahhh that makes a bit of sense and I started thinking of that as well

Thank you Gambit. If some of you could see my face reading some of the posts on here at times. Like Bugs Bunny, I do a telling look to the camera off to my right.
