Many fans awoke today to news that Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling had taken down the "Do Not Disturb" sign once again on a door at her official site
.
At first it appears to be an empty room, but there's a bit more to it than that, and the prize is certainly worth the trouble. Here are step-by-step instructions for those who can't be bothered to figure it out on their own:
)))))))Highlight the following block of text to read the excerpt here: He looked rather like an old lion. There were streaks of grey in his mane of tawny hair and his bushy eyebrows; he had keen yellowish eyes behind a pair of wire-rimmed spectacles and a certain rangy, loping grace even though he walked with a slight limp.
Thanks to everyone who let us know!

Ooh, I wonder who this person could be. The new DADA teacher, maybe? I can't wait to see! I love all the hidden things on JK's site, they're so much fun. This is great, I've been going out of my mind waiting for HBP. Thanks, JK, you rock!

Thanks for the help with the light switch, beowulf! I would have been clicking all night and may have gone loony before then! I love JK's site, and this little tidbit of character description is very intriguing. Fun! Can't wait to read the whole book!

If you read Jk's interview at the book festivle on her site she conferms that the barman at the Hogs Head is Aberforth, Dumbledor's brother. There were several hints in book 5. For one Dumbeldor said that Aberforth was punished for practising improper charms on a goat=it also says that the hog head smelled like goats, also the barman's discription in book 5 is similar to Dumbeldor's. I think that the discription from book 6 could also be him(perhaps younger). He will most likly play a bigger role in book 6 and 7.

That was really cool :) It just was annoying to hear people in the UK talk about it, and then have to wait a couple hours in the us before the do not disturb sign came down....looks like it was timed to happen at 7 am or something. I think it is a description of the new dada teacher :)

Wow! Our first excerpt! This is certainly a new character, maybe even the one she mentioned in the chat. Can't remember his name - Mac-something. I wonder if this will be the new DADA teacher, or is a guardian for Harry? Can't wait to hear more!

I wonder if that's the description of that new McLagan guy that JKR would be appearing in the next book. By the by, sounds very interesting.
