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!

Okay, does anyone know what numeric code should be placed in the Gringotts vault? It's behind the dart board.

Sorry for posting, but for some weird reason, it won't let me edit my previous comment. It doesn't say notebook, it says noteboard. Is that refering to the one in "Extra Stuff". Well, even if it doesn't, here's a little fun fact. On that noteboard, on the right side, there is a piece of paper that has another piece of paper of top of it, but, you can see an "f Blood Prince", the "f" being from half. This is circled in red. How long has that been up?

Getting to the excerpt is half the fun. JK could be describing Dumbledore's brother. Who knows, maybe he's the HPB.

I got the vault!!! I was right the note board in "Extra Stuff" is the noteboard and you have to wait until Peeves comes, because when he does, it knocks off a small piece of paper that says "Streetcars". It then shows (and its very small and not very noticable) a buissness card for Gobb Lynn in the upper right hand corner. The Telephone number shown is: 30 27 23. That is the combination!!!1

iluvTOM13,
THANKS SO MUCH! I opened the door, clicked on the switch, and got the darts to stay on the dart board after only two tries! When I got to the vault was where I ran into the problem of figuring out the combination. Thanks again! I already read the excerpt, but I wanted to experience the fun of getting to it "the hard way." ;)

I still can't figure out how to see it, but I'll keep trying. I thought the entry would be a little longer, oh well. I don't think that she would be giving us parts from the book unless it's somewhat close to being released.
