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!

Have just done that all (congratulate stupid me please). There are so little words, only a couple of lines! I've got to say I had waited for something more. But it was exciting anyway.

I know before that I said that it's probably McClagan. I doubt that now. I don't think it is. I think it's going to be some order member, but not McClagan.

I think it is Crookshanks... I think Crookshanks was an animagus... Think about it, the description fits... Maybe McClagan...

I am borrowing the Internet at a friend's house - so I just cheated and read the highlighted bit. I've said it before and I'll say it again: what did we do before we had Jo's fantastic website? We're so lucky and she's so good to us! Thanks Jo!

How cool! I tried to turn on the light on her site but my computer wasnt responding. But this definantly sounds like a key character. Perhaps a Gryffindor heir? Or maybe an animagus. The possibilities!!

I wonder who the character is? It's a very interesting description. I can't wait for the book to come out but that won't be for a while.

Thanks for the information. Since I got here late in the day, I think the links had gone away. So, I am really glad you had the screenshots, or I wouldn't have been able to see it.

I wish the excerpt could have been longer...but don't we all? Seems like it's safe to assume it's a new character. The discription is very interesting. Almost sounds to me like a mix of moody and dumbledore. We'll see!

It definitely seems like the description of a new character...maybe the HBP?? Notice the yellow eyes, it kind of gave me the impression of Mrs. Norris's yellow eyes...or am i way off base??
