Let's Recap

The Game Master and his cohorts want to bring everyone up to speed.  You know, get everyone caught up so when we release more clues you're all energized to get cracking.

Clue #1 - HP:1:11:1-9 = Harry Potter:Book 1:Chapter 11:Words 1-9
     "As they entered November, the weather turned very cold."

Clue #2 - This ten letter item was invented in the late 1800's, what is it?
     "Flashlight"

Clue #3 - Because it’s the 19th of October, and there’s a full moon and all, we decided the timing was just right to send another clue.  Really the reason we are sending this out today, is to better prepare you to play The Game.  Instead of just telling you what you need to know though, we are making you work for it.  No more easy clues for you.  Gather this up, not too much, not too little, but be sure you have enough when it’s time to play The Game.  We think you’re smart so you’ll figure it out.  All are free to try and play.  Riddles like this will definitely pay off too.  Make sure you’re not without this at the start.  Chances are you will fail if you are.  Losers of The Game will probably cry, but so might those who don’t solve this riddle.  Or at least, they’ll want to.  Talk amongst yourselves, it may help, it may not, but solve this one and you’ll be one step closer to playing The Game.  However, do not post your answers here, in this blog, or the Game Master may disqualify you from all the fun.  Everyone will agree, we’re sure, that the best things in life take work.  So get to work.
     This one is an 'Acrostic'.  Take the first letter of each sentence and form the words with it.
     "Bring warm clothes"

Clue #4 - This one simply takes a bit of diligence.
     "The Game Will Be Held On November Fifteenth"

Clue #5 - Keep working on this one.
