Mystery Puzzle SPOILER #7

Warning!  This post contains spoilers to a mystery puzzle.

This week's puzzle is "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone 260 piece Family Puzzle."

The Family Puzzle design means that there are two main sizes of pieces.  Eighty pieces are three to four times larger than the rest of the 180 pieces to make it easier for smaller hands to work on their side of the board.  The entire left side of the puzzle is made up of the 80 larger pieces, where the right side is all small pieces.  The border between the large and smaller pieces was fun to find and figure out.

The added bonus mystery is a polarized decoder lens that you wave over the board to find several hidden objects.  My puzzle was missing the sheet of objects to find, but I believe there are 8-12 objects hidden in the puzzle.  The images are what you would expect from the Harry Potter world - an owl, a badger, a snake, etc. 

Looking closely at the puzzle board there are areas that have very small parallel lines that are hidden polarized images.  

Overall, the polarized images were hard to actually make out and any small adjustment with the lens/decoder and the image would be a blob.
