Front and center at one of the Great Hall’s corners stood a giant, see-through display box, resembling a tank. Except, within it was a mechanical crane, perfect for clawing plushies to one's desire. It's a giant prize grabber! Keeping in the spirit of Gryffindor, lion plushies, among other forms of felines (kneazles, panthers, jaguars, etc.), were available for one to select… provided you had the dexterity to claim at least one. Just simply approach the joystick and adjust it once the crane is activated. Aim it over the plush you wish to claim and press the button to lower the claw and grab it, but don't let go, and hope it reaches back for you to claim.

Every now and then, a soft pop could be heard, followed by the fizzle of red fireworks overhead. They formed the shape of a lion every few minutes amongst the other house mascots in various colours. Quite a sight to behold, if one wasn’t too focused on claiming their prize. No shoving, though, there's plenty to go around as you line up for your turn to claim a prize. Once you're done, you're more than welcome to step aside and admire the display above with your schoolmates in unity.
