Aurora Rising Crossword Puzzle

I had grand plans to have this puzzle finished and posted before Aurora Burning was out, I thought it would be a fun refresher before book two. Unfortunately, a confluence of life and puzzle problems made this a pipe dream. But here it is! And an Aurora Burning puzzle is certainly up next.

This is the fifth draft of this puzzle; I had a bunch of weird issues making this one. They were mostly misspellings, and words that were not meant to go in the puzzle, along with words I thought were wrong but ended up being fine. So it was a long journey to this being done.

This is such an incredibly fun series! I am so looking forward to reading book three.

The last puzzle was the Slytherin house mini-puzzle, and you can find the answer sheet here!

I also apologize again for the color quality. I am going to switch back to black only until I have access to a proper scanner again, the color quality is so off.
