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

OCTOBER 31, 2004 at 9:11 AM

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.

Yes, I need help too! Someone, please. The exact same thing happens for me, as well, and I honestly have no idea what to do next.

The door is shut now. That means you can't open it now. I'm hoping the next time it opens we will see the date of release.

Thankyou so much purebloodman! I haven't been on there since...forever...and here too for that matter, and it was pure chance that I even stumbled on this bit of information...and then alas the door is already closed *sigh*

But I'm really curious as to chapter 6's title...as loathsome as Malfoy junior can be, his character is a bit of an enigma...dun dun dun!

Getting the names of new chapters is just making me more anxious for the book to come out. But it was VERY exciting news.

Unfortunately peaches08, the sign won't just come off. (Too bad though). Jo won't open it up for a while again... I'm hoping she'll have it open for Christmas... but she already updated, and decorated so I'm not going to get my hopes up too much.

Oh, and purebloodman just posted the chapters. Scroll up half an inch.

This was such a fun door opening!
I really wish she would open the door again, even if she doesn't want to reveal anything about the book, it is just fun solving all the puzzles and riddles to gett through!

Whoa! Back then, with all the mounting excitement, the knowledge of three chapter titles must've been awesome!

I could never have solved the riddle on my own!
