Slytherin Parseltongue Challenge












Parseltongue Challenge


SLYTHERINS - To earn your Parseltongue button you must translate the
following statements from parseltongue Symbols to English letters.





Hint: SLYTHERIN = S l y t h e r i n

Power hungry Slytherin
loved those of great ambition.

In Slytherin you'll make
your real friends,

Those cunning folk use any
means

To achieve their ends.

There is no good and evil, there is only power and
those too weak to seek it.

Bonus points will be awarded for identifying the two sources
of the statements. Suggestion, copy and paste the statements into a word processing program and enlarge the symbols.

Um... I am confused... Are we supposed to translate this -into- Parseltongue, or... what?

I have posted the credits for the quotations on my blog... Am I missing something?

Elizabeth Spinner said...

My translation is now on my blog.

Apparently you have to have the font I used for the Parseltongue on your system. I don't think the International House Members received the statements in symbols at all. I was not aware of this until Emma D. emailed me. Sorry Ingrid, it looks like you did not get to play either.

Ah. I see. Perhaps overhearing the exchange student from Durmstrang muttering in her sleep all the time really did subconsciously force parseltongue into some of our brains. .. I wonder what else she planted in our minds while we slept!

(I see now what happened. That was a really neat idea!) =)
