Halloween surprise as door opens at JKRowling.com Popular (83359)

OCTOBER 31, 2004 at 9:11 AM

Posted by GERI
Source: JKRowling.com


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!

  • 1. Click on the hairpiece on Rowling's desk
  • 2. The 'Do Not Disturb' sign is gone - Wait a few minutes
  • 3. After a while, Peeves will appear and will knock over a flower vase and several keys will appear
  • 4. Pick up each one of the keys and insert them into the keyhole on the door until one fits
  • 5. The door will open and you will see Rowling's desk
  • 6. Open the drawer in the table, take the magnifying glass, and with it, look at the folder on the left side of the table.

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.

Glad she's already done the 14th chapter, and since she's almost sure its going to be shorter than the last book, she's around the middle of the book. I can't wait until she finishes it!!!! P.S. go to the savegof.com petition and sign it if you want :-)

thanks JKRowling ur the bomb!!!

I was just at JK's site and yes you can still get in the door...just hang in there and keep trying different keys as quickly as you can. When you get the right one it will turn in the lock.

Enjoy

Mistress Riddle: Keep trying! Go to the middle of the door when and click on random to catch random keys. That's what I did, and I finally got it after quite a while.

I can't get it...the halloween surprise. When I click the scrunchy, the DO NOT Disturb sign is up. When Peeves comes, the vase falls, but it falls with the opening to the left and no keys come out. What am I doing wrong? I know the chapter titles, but I want to get through that door anyway! Someone, please help!
