I should have put quotation marks around the first word.  It is a nickname. 

[agnijay]

I cannot believe this!

MOLLYWOBBLES WEASLEY!

Mine is a food.

STEPYINEEPP ARCALIZDL

[Jules934]

LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!!!!

This looks like FUN.

Since it's been so long, Jaya's prob forgotten what that last one was, so.............

Shall we? 

Two words.  Belongs to someone who wanders around Hogwarts humming

[agnijay]

Jules, I just solved the last one in my post, lol...

[Jules934]

????????????????????

But STEPYINEEPP ARCALIZDL is still hanging out there.  Or am I missing something?

[agnijay]

The last one is by Psychee... which I solved in my post. "Mollywobbles Weasley"

Then, I put one out there for the next person.

That's STEPYINEEPP ARCALIZDL.

[Jules934]

My apologies.  I didn't notice the date on yours -- I thought it went back to 2009, as the previous ones did.

[Psychee]

OK, we have two different scrambles open here...

Jaya, I have been through every food, muggles and wizard alike, mentioned in the Lexicon, and none of them have a "z" in them, except for one that has more than one "z" in it, so I'm stuck.  How about a hint?

Jules, you need to divide up the letters in yours so that we can know how many letters are in each word, OK?  I think we established that rule way back in the thread so you probably missed it. 

WE can work on both of these at the same time, but until both are solved, no new ones, OK?

[Jules934]

OK  How's this?  Any rule on where any punctuatuon should go?

A'B B D D D E E E L M  O R R S U

[agnijay]

Psychee, there's a food.

It's mentioned in the 6th book...

Oh, and I screwed up the letters. There should be an extra one in the first word, it's an "L"

[Psychee]

Just put the punctuation in the right place.

But I got it -- Dumbledore's beard!  That was a cute one...

Still working on Jaya's....

[Jules934]

Ah, ermmmmm, what is the "right place" to put the punctuation --

• After the letter it follows?
• Before the letter it precedes?
• If you've divided the scramble into more than one "word", where it would go in that arrangement?
• What if it's the first character in a word?
• What if it's the last character in a word?

Sorry, many years where my job was to think of everything and explain it so nothing could go worgn, and it still shows.

Good luck with Jaya's -- was it something Xenophilius prepared for them? 

Oh, by the way, of course this one is Dumbledore's Beard! 

[Psychee]

Sorry, Jules, I guess my answer left something to be desired in the way of clarity. 

Some examples might help:

If the puzzle answer was "Mad-Eye", you would put the hyphen between the 3rd and 4th letters, e.g.  EEY-DMA

if it was "Mad-Eye's", SEY-DMA'E would be appropriate.

Oh, and in case it isn't obvious, in a puzzle containing two words, the letters can be in either set -- we're scrambling all the letters together and just dividing them up in a way that tells the solver how many letters are in each word. 

Back to the punctuation... I'm just tellling you what we have done in the past.  But if it looks too easy to solve that way, I suppose you could tell us you were doing it differently -- just so we know.

CRYSTALIZED PINEAPPLE

and for the next one, try

ADEEGG MNNOR

a one time decorative creature

Thanks for the explanation Psychee.

Psychee do you have an additional clue?
