All ammened as below with a nine letter word and a hyphen somewhere in the middle
I've wanted to have a competition for some time and decided there is no better time than Halloween.
All you have to do is leave a comment with what you think this potion table will be based around.
It's based around a harry potter potion which includes, bones, eyes, stingers, dragon heart strings and spring water. Plus something extra that can only be added at the end.
Its also 9 letters long with a hyphon/dash somewhere in the middle.
I'm showing the table at this stage because the colour of the liquid for the cauldron may give the game away.
All correct entries will be put in a hat and the draw will take place on 31st October at 10pm. I can't do it earlier because the children are off halloweening and will spend the entire evening answering the door to far too many kids.
The competition is open to everyone that follows my blog and everyone that leaves comments.
Your prize will be the small slate potion board you can see infront of the table and i will make it up to be similar to the table. It will contain a glass jar, a cauldron and all the magic ingredients.
If you are really stuck there are plenty of harry potter sites that list all the potions and their ingredients.
HAVE FUN!!!

The table looks fab so far, love the cauldron! Hmmm...off to have a think and watch a particular Harry Potter film!
ReplyDeleteMichelle :o)
Well, I'll take a really wild guess and say Love-Potion, I can't find a receipe, but it does contain ashwinder eggs.
ReplyDeleteMichelle :o)
Oops michelle. I will go back and ammend the post. I counted the hyphen as one of the letters
ReplyDeleteNikki xxx
LOL Well in that case, I DIDN'T say love-potion! lol Off to have another think. Please feel free to remove my other mutterings! ;o)
ReplyDeleteMichelle :o)
Sorry about that Michelle.
ReplyDeleteSilly old me... lol!!!

ReplyDeleteFun competition, Nikki! I'm DUCKING as I say this, LOL, but I am probably the only person on this planet that has NOT read an HP book or seen the movie. Thank goodness for the internet!!
ReplyDeleteMy answer is Skele-Gro :)
Hugs,
Marsha
I'd venture to say Skele-Gro as well.. :D

Mmmm....I'm going to say Poly-juice potion, even thought the "official" spelling doesn't seem to have a hyphen, it certainly could. The list of ingredients just seems right to me...especially that last minute add.
ReplyDeleteTabitha
Well, Nikki, I'll try Skele-Grow. What a great competition and I'm a huge fan of your creations.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn
If you have to add one ingredien at the end I'll try Poly-juice, it's the only one I can remember with one thing to be additioned. I hope its the proper English name, it's Pozione Polisucco overhere.Hugs Rosanna
ReplyDeleteI'll go with Poly-Juice.
ReplyDelete:) I can't wait to see the finished table!
Great competition Nikki.. My answer is Skele-Gro
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm going to say 'Skele-Grow' too. I own one of Nikki's early Skle-Grow boards and she spells you like above hence 9 letters, but I know some peeps spell it like Skele-Gro. The potion is icky green with blood-shot eye balls.
ReplyDeleteMichelle :o)
For me it's been very very difficult ... I've read all the Harry Potter books in Spanish, except the last one ... and English translations are not exactly the same and I could not remember the ingredients and details... but after a very hard work of research and a lot of fun .LOL.. I can say is: Skele-Gro ....and I have the recipe!:
ReplyDeleteSkele-Grow Potion
The taste of this potion is not pleasant and the actually re-growing of bones is rather painful. It is much easier, and far more painless, to simply mend the bone instead of re-growing one. This potion can take some time to develop; the brew time is roughly 2 weeks and 3 days for 1 bottle.
Ingredients:
2 Gallons of Ice Cold Spring water
1 tablespoon of Chicken bone marrow
1 Billywig stinger
4 Hippogriff eyes, chilled
2 Dragon heartstrings of a Common Welsh green
Procedure:
1. Place the two gallons of Ice-cold spring water in the cauldron and stir it feverishly until it starts to boil strong.
2. Add the Billywig stinger to the boiling water and let it settle in the boiling water for two weeks.
3. After the two weeks, the Billywig stinger should have melted completely into the water. Now it will have a light blue aura to it.
4. Add the dragon Heartstring and Hippogriff eyes and stir twice an hour for three days. Afterward, It will have its green color and be finished
Note: Do not exceed dosage of 4 tablespoons. A side effect is growth to giant proportions.
:)
Well there you go, then! I learn new things every day. This is the first actual "recipe" I've seen for Skele-Grow. Thank you for posting it. :-)

ReplyDeleteHi Nikki,
ReplyDeleteGreat competition! Now I have to be honest and say I also haven't read the HP books and have only half heartedly watched the films whilst sewing!! BUT.. I do have the books (I just borrowed them off Dean, do you think he'll notice they are missing?!!) and I promise I will start reading them! But I do have some of your potion boards and I think the answer is Skele-Gro
Julia :0)xx

ReplyDeleteA few of you have entered a few times and thats fine. I will take all last answers from each person that has answered a few times, and if they are correct your name will go in the hat.
