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.

What a fun little puzzle! It took me forever to get it right, though! It's worth the wait...the chapter titles are all definitely head scratchers. If anyone can't see it - I'm sure the names are somewhere around here on HPANA. Happy Halloween! Thanks for the great treat, Jo!

That was absolutely excellent, granted it took me awhile to get there it was great to get there eventually! This just makes me more excited to actually have this book come out. It would have been even more excellent if she would have noted a date when it is actually coming out! But, have to be grateful, for what she did just give us!

Hey, this is so cool! I looked up the name of chapter 14 at a latin translation site and it appears to mean "the lucky one". Sounds like a half-blood prince to me!

RON's all up in heRmiONe says:
Oh My God! those are such cool chapter names.
Spinners End- I have no idea what this could be
Draco's Detour- I have an odd feeling that Draco is going to leave school.
1. everyone might ignore and try to attack draco because his father was cought red handed in the MoM, as a death eater of course
2. Dumbledore might want him to leave because he is a high risk endangerment to the school
Felix Filicis- Remember the passage that JK gave us, the one about the person that looks like a lion? I think this Felix is the lion man.
1. Felix is a cat/lion's name, or to me whenever i hear that name, i think of a lion or cat.

I think that they are okay chapter names, but I was really hoping that we would get the release date the next time the door opened. Well, this was still pretty good. I hope she updates her news section tomorrow, telling us more about the door opening, like when she opened the door for the first time, telling us the name of book six, and the next day she updated her news section, telling us more about it. Well, hope the door opens again soon! This has just made my thirst to know when HBP comes out even stronger!
I am glad to know that atleast 14 chapters have been written, and problably many more.

the_lost_slytherin All you have to do is click on the drawer handle, drag it open. Then take the magnifying glass drag it to the notepad. Then the riddle will come up and the answer is CHAPTERS.

Lucius Malfoy says:
Draco's Detour, hmmm. I can see where he will most likely be the object of much ridicule because his father was caught, very bad to be caught, then again, weren't Crabbe and Goyle Sr. there too, and Nott's father?
I wonder, does this mean he'll reconsider his options? Perhaps not follow in his father's footsteps?
We have to wait how long to find out?
