Alas: I have nothing to say that requires any thought at all. It's year-end at my office, and I'm lucky I can still remember my way home at the end of the day. Also, my brain is being eaten by Sudoku, which up until two weeks ago I scoffed at. Certain coworkers who shall remain nameless have much to answer for.

I get the same feeling! Sometimes I get the fiendish one done, and feel really accomplished, but mostly I get completely stuck having solved two or so of the five. =(

Reading this makes me feel significantly better about my own lousy Sudoku skills. When it goes well, I am very happy, but I am totally unable to debug a bad puzzle and find my mistakes. In a crossword I can see (and hold in my mind) multiple valid possibilities for an answer until I get more information. For Sudoku, it just flies. I wonder if I really would do better with Harry Potter folk in place of numbers.

I can't dubug either, actually; I am incapable of looking at a series of numbers and sussing out where a pattern went wrong. To fix a mistake I've made, I usually have to erase the entire square and start over. Which I have been known to do, to good effect, but man, the work it takes! I wish I were one of those people who had a more intimate relationship with numbers, which fascinate me. But it is not so.

When I make my HP sudoku, you can beta it and tell me if it works better for you!

I will await the HP Sudoku breathlessly. I won't say I'll be able to solve it any better, but I really want to try a figurative one. Now the question is which characters to use. One professor and one student from each house, plus Dumbledore? Or something more sinister?

I think you'd have to stick to the most easily recognizable characters, really, or at least ones with readily identifiable physical characteristics. Otherwise you'd have solvers struggling to keep the characters straight in their heads, as well as the number sequences.
I think it'd just about work to have the one student/one head-of-house plus Dumbledore, though. *thinks about how to characterize Flitwick and Sprout*
