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.

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.

Hmm, this is pretty interesting. But im having a really hard time with the riddle, I thought it might have to deal with the books. Now im just confused.

Felix Felicis may not be a person. I did a google search, and it means happy, lucky or fortunate. Both words or names mean the same thing in Latin.

(continuing the theory about "Felix Felicis")
.....or it could be the name of a spell!! -maybe a Cheering Charm?... -invented by Felix Summerbee?.... :D

Just so everyone knows that hasn't opened the door yet the chapter names and numbers are: Chapter 2- Spinners End, Chapter 6- Draco's Detour, Chapter 14- Felix Felicis. I think Felix Felicis might be the character described earlier in the excerpt of The Half Blood Prince.

That was fun. It took forever for me to get on her site, and another forever to get Peeves to do his thing...so be patient.
Nice of Rowling to give us a Halloween treat! I hope Book 6 will be done soon!

Even though I am graciously waiting to read all of the chapters, the main one I am really wanting to read now, is Chapter six. Just that first name, that is being shown, makes me want to read it even more. :-D

Gosh, you'd think there were government secrets behind that door - that riddle was freakin' hard! And I thought I was going to go mad trying to get that key. But it was totally worth it. I have no idea what any of it means, but that won't stop me from making up theories until my brain shorts out. Oh, I'm gonna go nuts waiting for this book! AHH!

Its about time. She really hides the information, she doesnt just give it to us. She really makes us work for the info. Maybe next time it wil be the release date.

http://www.dl.ket.org/latinlit/mores/names/nameorigins.htm
"Felix Felicis" means: Happy, lucky, fortunate
