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 this totally sucks... I'm only three hours late for reading this article and the Do Not Disturb sign is back up again... Why is that???? I never am around to get in there!!!!AHHHHHHHH!!!! It makes me so frustrated. I'll keep working on it though... maybe it has something to do with the time difference and I've just missed my chance at it.
