The official site
for JK Rowling has been completely revamped.
Gone is the list of her publishers worldwide. The site is now filled with information that will interest all fans of Harry Potter including news on book 6.
Check out how her venture into MuggleNet's chat room went and if you're especially smart you may be able to navigate her site to find out some clues about book 6.
Her welcome note:
“Until very recently, JKRowling.com was a list of links to my publishers – boring, I think you’ll agree. So I thought I’d liven it up a little.
I received so many thousands and thousands of letters these days that it is impossible to read, let alone answer, them all. A proper website seems like a great way to communicate directly with Harry Potter fans. Everything on here was written by ME, J.K. Rowling. This is where I can tell you the truth about rumours or news stories, where I can share the extra information I Haven’t put in the books, where I can give you hints and clues about what’s going to happen to Harry next, and where I can announce I’ve finished book six…and no, that’s not going to happen very soon.
Occasionally the Dark Mark will flash at you. This is a SPOILER WARNING. It refers only to information hidden in book five, The Order of the Phoenix - if you haven’t yet finished reading the other four, proceed at your peril!
Anyway, I really hope you enjoy wandering around my desk (which was specially tidied for your visit). Don’t know anything over, please. And watch out for Peeves.
With love from JK Rowling
(Jo to you)

I'm glad they did this to her site. It's good that she will try to put an end to some of these rumors so we don't get are hopes up for nothin.

The cell phone thing was the easiest!! Come on is there really no one who found out what to do with the do not disturb door? I've been thinking of it for hours...
Wait,wait! I found something! But what to do after I collected the bottle and the feather? Anyone here tonight? Anyone interested in the mysteries hidden in this page? Ahoyy!!

Hermione5: Here's a hint with regards to the feather and bottle -- go to the bulletin board and use the eraser.
I cannot figure out the phone number for the mobile :( I've gotten the first and last digits of the number, but the center blur I've tried and tried... but no result.

I didn't know JK Rowling had an official site! It sucks that she isn't going to be finished with the sixth book anytime soon, but as soon as I hit post I'm gonna go check out that site!

I'm pathetic, because I didn't know she had a site either :( Oh well, this new site is really cool, but I'm so confused about the "extra clues" that are hidden, I've gotten three certificates, but can't figure out the cell phone thing!

Just put in the digits 62442 (magic) into the cell phone and then you'll get a certificate. By the way, has anyone found more than four clues?

Her site is really awesome, and it's so cool that SHE's actually writing it all. Finally, we're finding out cool stuff about the characters and everything (like Fred and George's birthday is on April Fool's Day, ha!)
But it is sad that Book 6 isn't going to come out soon.

I've only found 3 clues...I wonder which one I'm missing? I have the cell phone one, the one from the trophy room, and the feather/spider/potion/leaf thing.

I though people would have been more interested in the Sirius question than the Mark Evans one, well I voted for the Evans one, but I though I was going to be one of the very few ones.

Wow, she really did a great job with the site - it's pretty cool. And it's great to have a place to go check out rumours to see what's true and what's not. But, I wish there was more promising news about book 6 - looks like it will be awhile.
