Started late but literally solved the puzzle in under ten minutes after finishing the grid. Sometimes the first thought is the right thought (lol, not often enough though).

Wow, well done, @oldjudge! For the rest of us, @ajk just opened a Discord thread devoted to this puzzle.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Took me a bit, but finally allowed my brain to relax and see the path.

Solved! Took me a little while to see it.
Edit: I was able to get the mega from what we have so far, but it was difficult for me.

I was in a bit of a rabbit hole, but I'm pretty sure I've got it now!
Edit: On the board, yay! Now to see if I can get any farther on the mega.

I must be overthinking this somehow. I came in with some pretty strong assumptions about what to look for and I think they were wrong.

Always great when that happens!
Really didn't have a first thought but noticed something a few stares in. It wasn't quite what was going on, but then I saw the light. Should be on the board soon!

Part of that fun solve this morning. Another good one by Pete. Now, if I only knew where I need to go on the Mega Meta, I would be a happier man.

Thanks to some collaboration with @HoldThatThought, I'm on the board. After exchanging a couple of ideas, we both hit upon the answer at about the same time.

I have what could be a legit answer but it is one unyielding letter off. Must be a rabbit hole.
Edited: found my letter!

Hi folks! Any chance someone can give me a nudge? I am kind of losing focus on everything else as my mind keeps wandering back to this puzzle. Also, I just started using Discord. How does one join the Muggles server? Thanks!
Edit: Got it last night thanks to a couple great, non-spoiler nudges here and on Discord!
