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!

Well, i guess it would be interesting if it were a new character, but i have a couple ideas as to who jo is describing.....it could possibly be mad eye moody, as he does have a limp or it could be a boy's animagus...im not too sure, but im thinkin if it were an animagus, then it might be a sphinx...because they have a lions head and yellow eyes i think....but a sphinx is a girl, so therefore itd have to be a boy's animagus.....well the second possibility is way far-fetched, but any idea at this point could be considered.

I wonder who it is...I have an idea but I don't want to say it here just in case someone gets mad at me and thinks it's really that person, but it's an interesting character.

WOW! That is super cool. I agree that spunds like the description of Godric Gryffindor. If not then it HAS to be the Half Blood Prince. This just makes me more anxious than ever.

Oh my gosh! yay! I haven't been on the site for about a week [sad, i know] and i just saw it! yay [again]!
i am almost positive that he's the new DADA professor. because if it was a student...i don't know, he sounds sort of old. He has "grey hair". That does not sound like a student.
i almost died of shock and hyperventilation when i saw this [my brother can attest to this]. i cant wait for more!

Niiicceee! New character, always interested to read about those! I agree with "Albus Dumbledore." Its probably Godric Gryffindor, because of the description given. If it is, that's another good reason why I am getting more and more anxious to read HBP!

Prof. Weasle says:
does this mean that theres going to be another incident like that with "scabbers"/pettigrew? Im asking because when i read this for some reason I keep thinking of crookshanks... i mean i know he is part kneazle... but could he be a animagus or shape-shifter who happens to turn into a cat that is part kneazle? I wanna know who this is!!!! (cant wait for book 6!)

That is most likely talking about McLagan. That's what I'm guessing. I'm also guessing that he is either the Half-blood prince or the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.
