So now, what I m gonna do is re-post my riddle as it was originally intended to be i.e. replacing all the horribly weird words 🤓 by normal cool words 😎...

And then I m going to shower hints one after the other..😃


Hey Akash, one guess before you change the riddle... is it the boat ride... first and final yr students go through it...

ANSWER: " Hogwarts Boat "

It heralds a crucial juncture which is bound to leave its traces,
'Crucial juncture' here is the end of the student life & beginning of a career oriented life for Hogwarts graduates; the education they received from their training in the school combined with their natural talents largely determines their future career & life thereafter..
It marks the culmination & commencement of two distinct phases.
" Culmination" or end of student life post graduation & "commencement" or the beginning of student life at Hogwarts are the only two occasions where Hogwarts boats are used...

It highlights trained youths & trembling kids, both in pursuit of their respective goal,
It signals the initiation & finale of an important event triggering a new episode for those who did not fail.
Both, the first year students who eagerly look forward to Hogwarts education & the 7 th year graduated students who look forward to their future career have the privilege of Hogwarts boat ride for the first & last time respectively..
It signals initiation & culmination of Hogwarts education leading to a new episode of respective future careers.

A juncture or an end or a beginning is where it exclusively marks its presence,
'Juncture' here is end of education & beginning of a career, 'end' here is end of Hogwarts education & 'beginning' here is beginning of Hogwarts education.. these are the exclusive scenarios where the Hogwarts boat "marks" its presence..
But a journey is much more than just its head & tail , thus its absence is substituted by its queer cousin which serves its essence.
The boat is only present & assists at "turning points".. in the meantime , its role ( essence) is of taking the students from station to castle & vice versa is carried out by the mysterious horseless carriages( its cousin)...

Its mysterious cousin is most intriguing,
Its mysteries are better left concealed for it requires some serious crying.
Its mystery of the cousin lies in the presence of thestrals instead of horses, in order to uncover its mystery ( thestrals) one needs to witness a death ( serious crying )..

Hint No.1
Though magical, its kind is widespread in the muggle world too,
Boats are present all over the muggle world..
It is graced by some who are qualified & sure of their destinies while others barely have a clue.
Muggle born first years barely have a clue of what to expect at Hogwarts, rest is self explanatory..

abt HG..so in what sense did u use it...like ambition or spiritual union sort of thing? or just a goal..?


I think the above quoted post of Anirudh deserves a special mention as he came very close to answering the riddle with the mention of thestrals...
However, 'thestrals' was not 'the answer', it was 'Hogwarts boats'..
Moreover 'the mysterious cousin' was also not 'thestral' but 'the horseless carriages' but of course 'the mystery ' of the 'mysterious cousin' was indeed 'thestrals' as in my opinion & as per my riddle ( perception) a thestral cannot b a cousin of boat but a carriage can be in a metaphorical way since both boats & carriages are non living modes of transport..

But, right after Ani's above quoted post I did say that he has also come close to the answer in a "weird" way.. while girls kept looming in Hogwarts express & Sorting ( the boat ride falls in between) , Ani mentioned a distinct feature of the answer or related to the answer..that's y I kept insinuating that the witches & the wizard have brushed past the answer in their own way..😊

Also, one more thing, I was about to add an important hint in the riddle but priya answered it b4 I could, I felt it was important that I add this clue as it completed the riddle otherwise I feel it was an incomplete riddle...
We all know that boat rides are exclusively used for first years..but only few must b knowing that boat rides are also used by Hogwarts graduates for their final journey out of the castle..it isn't surprising that only few know abt it since it wasn't properly mentioned in the books..JKR said that she missed the proper graduation ceremony of our beloved leading trio, but finally decided against it, as it would have ended up being some sort of anti climax diminishing the importance of the real finale scene..

Anyways, I thought I should have mentioned it in the riddle but somehow left it out..so that's my bad....oopsie..
