Combo and reasoning are correct, so you win 50 points!

Which leaves Hurt/Envious/Leonidas/Operation as the last combo for the surnames?

EDIT: I think it's Hurt/Envious/Leonidas/Hunter...

Nope - that would leave 'Lynch' unused, while 'Envious' and 'Hunter' would each have been used twice.

Yep - the final actor is John Hurt, who plays Mr Ollivander.

Since all main combos have been found, this wall is now closed, and the final scores are:

thecostumedanceparty: 280 (+140 posts)
PL-Stokie: 165 (+83 posts, which he has declined)
Jarkko: 50 (+25 posts)

Congrats, Adam

As a side note, I think 400 was an unrealistically high target for the Green Ribbon. 350 would probably have been better.

Yeah, 350 sounds better.

Congratulations to Adam, I would have never got the last two main combos.

No, I like 400 as high for the ribbon. The ribbon is supposed to be hard to get. Though I'd settle at 375.

I knew the other combos as well, I just wasn't quick enough to pull the trigger on them. Anyway, thanks it was fun. CJ, I reccommend you hide the name of your pictures because knowing the "Colbrook Creek" name from the image helped me out a lot. Just a future suggestion.

EDIT: I was wondering why my post count was over 5000.

Well, they're supposed to be hard, but not so hard that it's unrealistic for people ever to win them. Of course, the only way to find the correct difficulty level is to experiment.

Also, the name of the river wasn't intended to be secret, but I think that clue might have given away a little too much. Maybe I should have posted an Australian flag or something instead.

If you posted the flag I might not have gotten it so quickly.

But, nonetheless, it was a fun run. I really enjoy your walls.

Yeah. I loved this wall too (surely the best moment was us trying everything but the blank space for -try :P ).

I think I need to do another traditional one. I've got a wall in the making, but I'm not happy with it just yet.

I almost said the blank too, and I should've, but I thought it was just because there were 19 words and not 20.
