A large golden moderately warded chest. Stick it somewhere where no one is supposed to go, but people will invariably find it. Inside is the stone, transfigured into a copy of itself. but since it's a transfigured copy and not the real deal, it won't actually work. Knowing Tom, he'll get his hands on it, try it, and then when it doesn't work throw it away as the fake that it is.

 

A lot of you seem to be forgetting that Dumbledore needs to go check on it every now and again. Most of your ideas are impossible to pass through.

And again I'd like to point out these traps are supposed to be totally canon and stop Voldemort.

And animal is taken down by AK. Any simple physical trap would not work. Hidding it wouldnt since Voldemort can probably feel magic like Dumbledore could in HBP.

 

Make fluffy a nice new collar and then transfigure it into something normal looking.

Proceed with various magical traps ending with a muggle trap. Said trap would entail a trap door, which when opened, would cause the iron block mascarading as the ceiling to fall down on the unsuspecting victim, a la bug bunny.

 

Make the password "I love muggles." Voldemort might be able to guess it, but he'll never be able to say it.

 

1) Dobby would be guarding the first room 24/7. The room is filled with junk (magical trinkets and such) and croakroaches. The second room is as small matchbox (like a trunk): you have to resize yourself to the size of an insect if you want to enter in the matchbox.

2) Once you're in, you can't use any spell that would damage the matchbox, or you'd probably die. So NO AK (as it cuts through any enchantments). You'd have to fight a Cerberus there (Fluffy FTW!). The next room, is accessible only through a portal in the second matchbox. Much like the Vanishing cabinet.

3) The third room is located in Azkaban. There's lot of stones around you. But no Philosophere's stone. Kinda obvious, you're in prison.

The stone is kept in one of Dumbledore's old socks which is kept on a storage trunk located on the Moon (Muggles weren't the first humans who went to the Moon!!!).

Better yet, make it "I am gay". Dumbledore wouldn't have any problems saying it. Voldemort would never.

 

I have a better password

'Avada Kedevra'

There, I'm in.

'AK', 'Accio Sorcerer's stone',

"Nothing? moving on then."

{Room Expansion charm}, {Cutting curse(s)}', 'Accio Sorcerer's stone'
"Nothing? Moving on."

'Looks around'

"Fuck the stone, Hello Backdoor to my new personal fortress!"

"Why Hello Mr. Flamel, 'IMPERIO'!"

I win ^.^

PS. Feel free to tear mine apart if you like, I'd be interested to see what other people would have done when face by the traps I set.

 

Is it wrong that I hear the theme song of "Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?" whenever I see the title of this thread?

 

I subconsciously add a letter 'A' to the thread title, and hear the host of VH1's "Fabulous Life Of..." instead of Jeff Foxworthy's voice. Strangeness.

"Are You Smarter Than A Dumbledore?"

 

Room 1 - The Mirror of Esired with the key to the next room.

Room 2 - 40 hired, fully armed Goblins with a very specific list of people who are allowed inside and a verstarium potion to confirm identities.

Room 3 - An empty room with the Sorting Hat sitting on a chair in the middle to confirm your identity. If you're supposed to be there it says the password that opens the door to the next room, and if you're not on the guest list it summons the gryffindor sword... right in the middle of your fucking skull.

Room 4 - A huge room with a very, VERY deep hole right in the middle, that hole is covered with a Fidelius and D-man is the secret keeper...
Oh, and a dancing pink elephant serving as a distraction.

Room 5 - A portkey that takes you to Dumbledore. he has the portkey your next destination.

Room 6 - A very small room with a little, pink and fluffy book in the middle. The book is a novel sized Ron/Harry and Ginny/Neville fluff story, it contains the password to the door that leads into the room, but it's revealed only to those who finished the book with tears of joy flowing freely from their eyes.

Room 7 - Ashton Kutcher.

 

I lol'd.

I took my lol back.

 

I think that perhaps JKR hadn't invented it at that stage.

As for Dobby guarding the first door? He belongs to the Malfoy family at the time of the required protection.
