Solve HP Books: Sirius Crossword

Crossword created by Evreka. It was first created in March 2007.

This crossword was originally constructed some time between OOTP and HBP. For some odd reason it ended up in a drawer, from which I have now rescued it and tweaked it a little. Most words have an origin before HBP, but not all. Not every word fit the theme. On the webb this is genuinely new as of March 2007. Built on info pre-DH.

Average rate as 3.7: Between 3) Medium. and 4) Challenging, but fun. (by 3 person(s)).

This crossword includes a bonus word. You can get up to 3 extra bonus points by getting the letters in the colored cells right, and figure out the secret word.
