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've found four extra things for my scrapbook, as well. I need to figure out some more, though. Like what that weird creature is that flies across the main screen while the wind blows and the watch hands go nuts...hmm...:-/

Yay! An official JKR site; I've already added it to my favorites! Seems like this will be an awesome place to go. I love the Dark Mark idea. I'm sure this site will become very popular very soon.

So far most people have only found four. That's how many I have in my scrapbook but there's probably more...

Oh as far as the next book -- my instinct says not until spring or summer 2005 at the VERY earliest and that would be the first draft. I believe it takes about 3 months to edit the final so maybe for Christmas/Fall holidays. Caring for her family - she has a toddler, so that's a pretty busy time for her.

Well....i went to the site and it was awesome! I have all 4 certificates, but they didnt seem to be book 6 clues to me. And, i have a theorie about the do not disturb door... next to the door is a mirror, and it reminds me of the mirror of erised....you see what you desire (an open door) and you waste away trying to get what you want. Basically i think that area is a waste of time, and the only thing that happens is a small visit from peeves.

OH MY GOODNESS.
I always knew Ginny's name couldn't be Virginia. Ginevra. That's about right. And all the hints! And the rumors section! hee hee. "How dare you?!" Oh, JKR, you are the bomb.

I'd be shocked if anyone actually reads this, but this site is so great. I now feel like rowling is a friend and the fact that her desk looks like mine (i may have more coffee circles)makes me laugh. happy to have minerva as my teaching mentor, but happier to have rowling as my writing mentor.

Well to me, it seems like all the many things on here i found are just extra thins. None of them seem like book 6 clues. Has anyone found any?

Awesome I am so glad she set up a new look to her sight. It was pretty generic and seeing how many years the HP craz has gone on it sure took her a long time to figure out what she had to do! Way to go JK! This is long awaited!
