Join the Slug Club at Slughorn’s Christmas party!

Professor Slughorn decorates his office in a riot of colour for his Christmas party. Dust off your dress robes, answer our rhyming riddle and join in the festive Hogwarts spirit in today’s surprise.

Rich rewards in the Great Hall

We’d love to join in Wilkie Twycross’s lesson in Half-Blood Prince, if only we weren’t Muggles, but at least we don’t have to worry about Splinching ourselves like Susan Bones… Transport yourself into a brand new Moment for today’s surprise - watch out for any Galleons lying around when you arrive.

*Note: I think this is a seriously cool scene .. there is just something about a room full of apparition newbies that tickles the funny bones.

What will you discover in this mysterious room?

Discover one of Hogwarts’ secrets in today’s festive surprise. Solve our riddle to unearth a treasure trove of forgotten magical objects, from Fanged Frisbees and winged catapults to mislaid books and school trophies.

*Note: Once you get in, watch the fanged Frisbee fly around. They did a good job on the room, lots of objects go bang, fizz etc while you mouse over them.

I should make a small note here ... thanks for the reminder Figgy.
I have amended my posts above with quotes from the Pottermore Insider.

The riddles are a part of the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince chapters. Each riddle must get answered before you are allowed into the moment(s). These (I don't believe) will be going away any time soon. Every day we are getting a new chapter; which is great. I believe it is Pottermore's way of bringing in a 'book' with some daily magic (vs opening a new book all at once). I am positive the chapters - with all the 'read abouts' and 'news from JKR' - will be there for a while.
