Luna Lovegood, Crossword, 1997
Name: Luna Lovegood
Format: Homemade crossword puzzle and clue legend
Date: September, 1997
Relevance: Evidence of L. Lovegood's attempts to communicate secret messages to Harry Potter.
Archivist's Notes: Analysis has matched the writing within the crossword puzzle as L. Lovegood's, and the type on the clue legend matches the typewriter in W. Lovegood's home. Thought to be the first draft of a puzzle found in the back pages of the October issue of The Quibbler. If so, L. Lovegood was using her father's magazine as a way to communicate with Potter while he was away.
Transcript:
A crossword puzzle completely filled in with the clues, mostly in black ink with the exception of the words Harry, Ginny, Dumbledore's, Ron, Love, and Luna.
A legend explaining the clues and answers for the puzzle, which reads as follows:
Hello. 1. English greeting

87 21. 29 multiplied by 3
Wow. 22. astonishment
Love, 23. unconditional
Luna. 24. girl in the moon
Should ask Ginny if she wants to send any messages.
Much too easy to figure out. Have to find another puzzle code to use.
