The door at JKRowling.com has opened to reveal a surprise from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Highlight the area below to read the instructions, but do not read if you don't want to be spoiled. Enjoy!
A riddle appears:
One by one we come to life
The side-by-side we wait
While our company swells in numbers
(Some come early, some come late)
And some of us may bore you
And some of us enthral
But you cannot choose between us
You must take us one and all
We'll be bound together tightly
For we're naught if we break free
If you'd like some clues about is
Simply answer: WHO ARE WE?"
The answer is CHAPTERS. You then will go to Jo's desk, open the drawer, lift the magnifying glass, scroll over the folder and lift the pages that are sticking out of the top. Your reward: Three chapters titles from book 6!
Thanks to everyone who sent these in.

I opened the door this morning :) It took me forever to find the right key!! And then I couldn't figure out how to view the chapters (click them and drag them upwards). I tried to solve the riddle myself but I just couldn't so I gave up.. hehe

THAT'S AWESOME! I love it when they pull these things. It's soo much fun! Although it took me forever to figure out which key it was. That was the hardest part for me.

Ok, I saw it... That's pretty cool. I wonder what's going to be happening. I see the posts now, that's cool. I couldn't earlier. I guess they figured it out. This probably doesn't make any sense, sorry.

iluvTOM13,
the correct spelling for chapter 14 is "Felix Felicis". i looked up Felicis in the dictionary and it isnt listed, but both "fel" and "icis" are acronyms. i dont know if that matters though.
BUT
YAY FOR CHAPTERS!!! im guessing these chapters have been through the editors because arent they allowed to change the names of titles they dont like? so would she tell us names that are subject to change? i hope not, because this could mean the book is close to being finished!!!

YEESSSSS!!!!!!!!
I DID IT!!! -BY MYSELF!!!!! --I'm a genius!!!:P
But hey, both "felix" and "felicis" mean the same thing, because they are two forms of the same adjective ("felix"-singular &"felicis"-plural)!! - It means "HAPPY" or"fortunate","precious","favourable".
If it was "felesis" or "felisis", it would have meant "cats", but it's "FELICIS", with "I", not "e"!
Anyway, I think it's a name (like Luna Lovegood). -but this is just my opinion.

Okay....it worked very well and I got confused too at the same time. I was like....'What on earth is this?' and I finally realised! This is really odd and fun and interesting but it's not much. Oh well....fun enough..

Hahahahah, how funny. The drawer is that bend metal thing sticking out on the left side of the desk. you have to press it and pull it out, I was so confused and annoyed. Especially the keys one, the keys just kept on flying everywhere and I have to try again and again.......until the door opened. But it's kind of funny and fascinating.
I waited for so long....like 5 or 6 minutes. All the chapters' names are very interesting, I wonder what all of them are about.
