Always the tone of surprise CC #2 - Page 3

Hi Potterheads here, please fill this up for the members' introduction post on the first page.

First Name : Sreepriya

Place : Kolkata

Day / Date Of Birth : 20 July

Favourite Harry Potter book : All are my favourites except Cursed Child (which cannot even even be called a Harry Potter book)

Favourite Harry Potter character : Snape (I like his character complexity)

Favourite scene from the HP books :

There are many like,

When Molly attacked Bellatrix, for hurting Ginny, and kills her.

Prior to Snape's death when he asks Harry to look at him, coz he has Lily's eyes.

The first meeting of Harry Ron and Hermione.

Favourite actor from Harry Potter movies : Alan Rickman

Favourite scene from the HP movies which was not in the books or filmed better in movies: I have not watched the movies properly except first two, so cannot compare. But as much I have watched, I felt that the movies couldn't do proper justice to Snape's grey character (he was kind of unnecessary white-washed).

An all-time-favourite book of yours (other than Harry Potter books) : All detective novels (especially Sherlock, Byomkesh and Feluda)

The book you're currently reading : Bridgerton series( The Viscount who loved me)

So posting the riddle again in this thread for you all along with the first hint.

Riddle 1

"You are always under my surveillance,

Still I was her victim,

Avoiding me is not easy,

I am his favourite and closest one,

But loathed by them".

Guess who am I?

Happy guessing.

Hint 1. Her name is married.

Could it possibly be Professor McGonagall?🤔

@Red: Oh I absolutely loved Alan Rickman as Snape...If HP ever gets a remake in future, no one can ever replace his image of Severus Snape from my mind.

Explaining the riddle in my next post.

# Riddle 1 :

Answer :: Mrs. Norris.

Solver :: LizzieBennet.

You are always under my surveillance,

Hogwarts students (you) are always under the surveillance of Mrs. Norris in Hogwarts.

Still I was her victim,

Mrs. Norris was the first victim of the Serpent of Slytherin (her) when she was pertrified by her on Halloween night (in Book CoS).

Avoiding me is not easy,

Avoiding Mrs. Norris is not easy and she alerts her master instantly when any students misbehave inside the school castle.

I am his favourite and closest one,

Mrs. Norris was the favourite and the closest person to her master (Argus Filch/his).

But loathed by them.

Each and every Hogwarts students (them) loathed her.

Guess who am I?

So I am Mrs. Norris (hint was that her name is married which means "Mrs." behind her name suggests that she is married but we don't know in real whether the cat was actually married or not or who her husband was 😆😆, and hence my hint goes).

Wow congrats Lizzie👏

Makes sense now after reading the explaination.

OOH, I actually just went with the 'married' clue. I thought of Molly Weasley but couldn't think whose victim she was. Then thought of Mrs. Norris but "her' victim threw me. I thought she was petrified by the basilisk who's a male? (I googled that one, I've forgotten!)
