The official site
from J.K. Rowling has been updated to include a "Wizard of the Month Archive," (via the calendar on the main page of the site or here), where you will find a complete list of wizards that have appeared on her site.
Fans will also have a chance to review previous door openings by using the time turner in the Room of Requirement (use the eraser on the main page to locate).
Thanks to Alisha for the update.
UPDATE: The site's news section has also been updated with news on companion books:
Companion Books
It's common knowledge that I love genuine Harry Potter fansites, which is why I created my own award to recognise their creativity and ingenuity.
It's also old news that I hope one day to write the definitive Harry Potter encyclopedia, which will include all the material that never made it into the novels, and that I will give the royalties from this book to charity.
I cannot, therefore, approve of "companion books" or "encyclopedias" that seek to pre-empt my definitive Potter reference book for their authors' own personal gain. The losers in such a situation would be the charities, that I hope, eventually, to benefit.
Jo's news on her site may have something to do with this story, in which Jo and Warner Bros. are suing RDR books, a book publishing company based in Michigan and others.
The lawsuit states:
The infringing book is particularly troubling as it is in direct contravention to Ms. Rowling's repeatedly stated intention to publish her own companion books to the series and donate proceeds of such books to charity.
Additional items for fans are also on the site and if you really don't want to do it yourself, highlight the area below for the complete solution (courtesy of the Lexicon) and Alisha:
1) Draw a ? mark on the square blank paper on the Extra Stuff bulletin board.?Clue: Hold your curser on the Sneakascope in the Rubbish Bin until it moves.
2) Peel back the wallpaper next to the light switch by the Door for a new Potion recipe (egg and Lacewing Fly leg). Wait on the desk top for Peeves to knock over the pens, an egg appears. Click on it. Wait in the Fansites trophy case for a new Lacewing Fly to flit in and land on the FSA cup. Click on it.

I'm usually hopeless at solving the room of requirement puzzles. I'm glad to discover the first ones though, I must have missed a number of them.
Some companion books to the series are indeed relevant, but too many of them just seem to take advantage of its success, the subject being conceived as a guarantee of sale. I would enjoy reading more of JK in an encyclopedia.

Just wondering, but are we continuing the Wizard of the Month thingy? Because I think she would've had November's up by now, since it's about 1 AM in the UK, and usually she's got it up by now..

I rarely visit her site, maybe once a year. The last time I went on her site was to find out the title of the last HP book(that hangman puzzle). I really should check this out!!

I always love following the rules and getting into the hidden rooms. It's really fun. And I'm glad to see she's changed it around a bit.

Prof. Dish says:
WickeDraco, at the light switch in the RoR, you should be able to click at the right hand corner of the light switch. When you're holding down your mouse, pull it up and to the right, and part of the wall is exposed. You may have to try a few times to get the right spot, but once you've seen the clue, you can go back to the main screen and wait for Peeves (he won't come until then) Then just follow the directions as usual.
Geri, there is another update!! A news story has been posted about a charity auction item.

I see it! For the wallpaper clue, switching off the light actually provides a guideline for the place to peel the wallpaper off. It's at the tip point of the upper right side of the switch! :)
Currently waiting for peeves!

I am sure she will accuire her desire with the lawsuit. I agree with her. I think if she created the series, and the entire world, she has the full right to write all else about it.

You can move the coffeecup in the rubbish bin but its for no use... ??? or is it? I can't find out anything, I don't even understand what you all have written here... Peeves came when I was waiting in the rubbish bin, but all he did was that he broke the other pen (right side pen) and it drew something, that I can't figure out what is it?? a bat? Also, the words in the rubbish bin section, below the bin can be moved with the cursor individually... the words are: Here, I am, within, tap, five, time, no, get, and, in, ring.. Are we supposed to create a sentence form it? I've tried but I can't come up with anything... Please somebody help :(

Still it seems that JK should at least give them some kind of little penalty for the guys involved instead of going for a complete lawsuit. But I understand Jo's intentions.
