Pardon my mistakes, I should have edit my answer before posting it..:)

Another easy one:

Building on the "a" as second of 8 letters, two words (2 and 6 letters):

Aptly named theatre, might be Dumbledore's favourite.

I kpnow it's not right but all I can think of is a London theater that may no longer eveist..

The Al HAMbra

EXSIST!

St James's

Al hambra was torn down.

I was doing HAMbra and HOGwart as the clue!

Think of Pets.
:-)

The Pit.?

Le Fenice...Venice

Jody's right!

La Fenice - the Phoenix. Burnt to the ground several times and always rebuilt to new splendour.

This has been on the original thread for over a week and still no one has guessed it and that thread is dropping fast so let's try it here. I'm even giving the clues that were already guessed! It really is easy!


11 letters..i is the 7th letter
Clues

Don't mispronouce this at the travel agents or you may get a turn on instead of a ticket

clue 2 Love is in the air

Clue 3 was a freebie courtesy of Betty;s word, LaCoste....Marquis de sade

Clue 4..betty guessed it... Turkey

New clue..some people dig this

Please I'm getting tired of this word!

Where does the pet fit in?

Dumbledore's pet , Fawkes, is a Phoenix. :-)

To think that I saw a phoenix under london Theatre list...

ttt...and if you don't know what it means..see the various other messages on this forum!

Do you have the same word waiting to be guessed in BOTH crossword threads, Jody? I'm confused.

I just checked, Jody. Your love is in the air/mispronouncing word to travel agent/Turkey clue is from the OTHER crossword thread (the original long one, where B.R. started this game), not this one. Here's the link to the other thread. http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...p;tid=34435071

I think this "new" crossword thread is ready to have a new word posted, so we can go back to having two different puzle running at the same time.

The other puzzle fell so far back in line that it is hard to find ...If no one gets it in either place today...I"m going to tell the answer cause I'm tired of it!

Since there is no new clue to work on and since I have had SOOO many near misses lately AND already posted one when I thought I had the right answer which noone has had a try at, may I have the honour with a 'u'?

Harzer

Harzer...which word were you working on? You did have 2 different sets of clues mixed up , further back..

So far the only word not solved is the misprouncing, love in the air, turkey, dig this one!

Please guess it ...I'm so tired of it!
