The Secrets Of JK Rowlings Official website.

JK Rowling’s official website, http://www.jkrowling.com , is a brilliant n very mysterious site, where u can find a LOT of infos on Harry. But travelling around the site can b way too tricky, coz ur gonna feel as if ur in a maze, finding ur way 2 the infos, yet unsuccessful. JKR said that only clever and curious fans of Harry Potter will b able 2 find out everything correctly; but she also said, that wants 2 test the fans’ real passion 4 the book, n “tease the heck out of them while they surf through the site”

 We strongly encourage you to enjoy the experience of discovering these little “easter eggs” on your own and suggest that this guide be used as a last resort rather than a first resort.

Order Outline: Go to the “Extra Stuff” Section. Take the pen off the string and drag it over to the blank sheet with the yellow thumbtack. Draw a lightning bolt in the middle of the sheet. Try and keep the pen as steady and centered as possible. It will reveal one of the revisions Jo made when planning Order of the Phoenix. It includes some Chapter Names that were changed as well a few ideas that didn’t make the final draft.

Magical Creatures: Go to the Links area and click on the thin red book on the second shelf, Ancient Runes Made Easy. It reveals some information on several different magical creatures.

Teachers and Hippogriffs: First, go into the “Extra Stuff” Section. Turn the radio off, then on and wait a few seconds. Listen to the announcement telling you to put six drops of red potion followed by three of the green potion on a plant. Now, leave and click on the Eraser Portkey on the desktop. It brings you to the mysterious door. Now, follow the instructions with the potion on the plant. Now you have another scrapbook piece, revealing (around the time of Prisoner of Azkaban) genders of teachers and some attempts for hippogriff names.

Original Synopsis: Go to the Rubbish Bin and move the mug four times in a clockwise circle. When you do that, stop: it forms a circle inside. Now leave and go to the Extra Stuff section, click on the card that says “Circle” with a circle on it. Now you have an original synopsis of Philosopher’s Stone.

The Cell Phone 4: Go to the main page. On the phone, dial “31071965” (which happens to be Jo’s birthday, 7/31/65). Now you have an early (around 1994) draft of Philosopher’s Stone.

Draco’s surname: Go to the Fan Sites page. To the right, click on the small red box five times. It will open. Click the question mark bubble to get the same clue as the phone-dialing one. An early (around 1994) draft of Philosopher’s Stone and information that Draco’s surname used to be “Spungen.”

The Cell Phone: Besides unlocking other hidden surprises, if you stay on the front page long enough, the cell phone in the top left corner will ring. Pick it up by clicking the blue button to see if someone is on the other end!

The Cell Phone 2: Dial 733837 (P-E-E-V-E-S) and you’ll unlock another item for your scrapbook! (Thanks to Lindsay for this secret)

The Cell Phone 3: Dial 62442 (M-A-G-I-C, as mentioned in OoP) and you’ll unlock something for your scrapbook.

The Eraser: In the Extra Stuff section, grab the eraser on the bottom of the bulletin board and move it around the blank paper. Then, double click the small green leaves above the image, and they’ll disappear. On the main page, wait for the spider to crawl on the screen and double click that. In the links section double click the potion bottle on the shelf. Finally, click the feather on the Fan Sites page. Clicking on all of them will add something to the scrapbook! (Thanks to everyone that sent this in!)

The Key: On the Links page, click the book with the question mark on its spine and move it to the left, then grab the key and put it on the chest on the right side of the screen.

The Leaking Pen: Go to the Rubbish Bin area, then double click on the pen to the left of the trash bin. This will crack it in half and make the pen leak ink that will reveal the secret to getting another item added to your scrapbook. The first item you need to click on are the eggs, located on the right side of the Rubbish Bin page. Next, go to the Extra Stuff section and click on the hair seen right under the blank pad of paper. Then finally, head over to the Fan Sites page. Click and drag the empty medal box to the right or left and it will reveal marbles. Click on those and you’ll have a new item added to your scrapbook! (Thanks to all of those who were quick on figuring it out!)

The Light Switch: Click it, and the light turns off. Click it again, and the light turns back on again. Like magic! We’re not sure why she has a light switch on her desk… or tabloids, for that matter. Tsk tsk, Jo!

The 2nd Light Switch: Another light switch can be found in the “Mysterious Door” area, which will turn on the light outside of that oh-so-mysterious room. While it doesn’t reveal any secrets at the present time, maybe one day it will!

The Marble: On the main page, there is a marble located right in between the FAQ portkey and the Welcome notepad. Browse around the site for a moment, then go back to the main page and wait a few minutes until a Mysterious Wind blows through. Click the marble when it starts to swirl and you’ll unlock another goodie in your notebook! (Thanks to everyone who sent this in!)

The Medals: Go to the Fan Sites page, and find the two different medals lying on the main shelf. Pick them up and place them in the empty holders either side of the Fan Site Trophy.

The Radio: In the Extra Stuff section, the radio can be turned on or off to listen to some music while browing the area.

NOw, wid all these helps, hope u njoy surfing thru JK Rowlings official web site.

  1. this is INTERESTING! 😀
    thaknx for sharing!:D

  2. does any one know what to do with the WOMBAT card I havn’t been able to figure that one out

  3. What about the sentence scramble of cut out words on the rubbish bin link? I can’t seem to figure that out. Also, when you’re on that page for a while the pen on the right cracks and a woman cackles at you. Anyone ? Buler?

  4. I also tried entering the numbers (described in the book from the links page) on the cubes on the rubbish bin screen. 31071965 on the phone but it just gives me a check mark on the phone screen. Hmmm???

  5. dear Tia,
    If you typed in 31071965 and it gives you a check mark that means you already typed in 31071965 and its just telling you.

  6. also, what about the scramble of words in the rubbish bin, do you put them in a secret code or something?????????? please help me

  7. when you click on the earser and theres a door how do you open it. I haved tryed almost everything and I can’t get it to open. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!! I know it tells you the name of the seventh book, but I still want it to open
    PS
    this site is really cool site and when you are on the “LINKS” site if your on long enough peeves will laugh and the left picture will fall and it shows the little peice of paper that you drew a lighting blot on (the bolts on it)

  8. The rubbish bin words are: “Here you get no ring within, tap five times and I am in”… then go to fan sites and click 5 times of the red box for a nice surprise!

  9. 4 u, Tia, if dialing JKR’s b’day gives u a chek mrk on the screen of the phone, then it means that ur akredy done wid that part & that u alredy hav an eraly draft of the Philosopher’s Stone alredy in ur scrapbook. so u dont hav 2 do it all over agn.

    And as 4 the “Mysterious Door”, bob, it was rumored in mugglenet.com tht i was opened once, but not 4 long enough 4 me 2 get there. im not pretty much sure about, sorry cudnt help u out wid it much.

  10. if you stay in the ? room long enough with the light off (least the light was off for me. may work with it on) peevy will leave you a msg 😉

  11. You can only open the door in the eraser room when the do not disturb sign is down. I really haven’t been a potter fan long enough to see that happen, but I also heard that is the only time you can take a WOMBAT test. After you take your test they will give you a number which you can check your score with. That is what the WOMBAT card is for.

  12. I left my computer alone and when i came back the pen jar was tipped over on the main screen. Don’t know what it means.

  13. Hi,
    I found your blog via google by accident and have to admit that youve a really interesting blog 🙂
    Just saved your feed in my reader, have a nice day 🙂

  14. i tapped on the box 5 times after linin the words up but nothin happened!?

  15. Why is there an empty medal case on the top shelf at the fan sites? Any one know?

  16. Lynnie,
    Was the box open?

  17. HaHa, I changed my screen saver to a picture of Harry Potter and Cho Chang Kissing from the 5 th book

  18. yea the box was already open so how do i get it to work

  19. did anyone figure out if the butterfly does anything?

  20. wats the spinning thingy do on the rubish bin page

  21. It does nothing but spin and make noises.

  22. help how do i open the box afeter i put the words in order?????????????????????????????

  23. I think that in the sixth book DD drinks the potion snape talks about in the 2 book . You know the one that lets you get hit by the killing curse but not die? Remmber when Harry sees Cedric die with a shocked look on his face? DD didn’t, he just landed on the floor. To prove my therioy, why would DD have brought his knife with him when heand harry went to the cave? Did he Know he was going to have to draw blood? And remmber the fake locet DD found? R.A.B (the person who put the locket there) must have drank the potion. I think DD (Dumbledoor) put that special potin there and he and Snare planed the whole thing(you know whenSnape kills dd) Tell me what you think of my therioy and write your own therioys.

  24. Lynnie? What do you think of my therioy? Do you have a theroiy?

  25. I DO NOT THINK DUMBLEDOOR IS DEAD!!!!!! READ MY THERIOY ABOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!thanks, MirrissA

  26. actually Mirrissa that makes alot of sense…but i guess were just guna have too read the 7th book and wait and c!

  27. As u have asked 4 my own theory regarding Harry Potter, let me tell u firstly, my HP theories aren’t regarding the death of DD. my theories r reagerding the death of Harry himself. and as 4 ur theories, i must say that they r quite remarkable but lemme remind u of one thing, snape n DD plotting a plan seems a bit unsual 2 think when u go thru Snape’s characters thruout all the 6 books. Besides, Snape’s loyalties r itself controversial.

    Next cums about the way u hav linked Cedric’s death with DD’s 1. The potion u r talking abt, lemme tell u 1 thing. Cedric died with a shok on his face, n DD just landed on the floor. there4 , where lies the difference??? the effect of the way a person dies duzn’t resolve the fact tht he isnt actually dead. Cedric was killed directly by the Killing Curse, but did DD???

    hope 2 hear frm u soon 😀

  28. Well if the locket was fake, and someone already found it, then who put the potion there? Even if DD is dead, he will have a picture in his old office,right? So Harry has at least one way to talk to him. DD is the most powerful wizard, and he trusted Snape for, like, 16 years and DD is usally right. O and tell me what you think about Draco Malfoy. Remmember at the end of the 6 book when….well let me find it from the book…. ”Come to the right side Draco….you are not a killer,..” Malfoy stared at Dumbledore. ”But i got this far,didn’t i?” he said slowly.” They thought i’d die in the attempt, but i am here…….and your in my power…..i am the one with the wand…and your at my mercy..” “No, Draco,” said Dumbledore quietly. ” It is my mercy, not yours, that matters now.” Malfoy did not speak. His mouth was open, his wand hand still trembling. Harry thought he saw it drop by a fraction. Then later Fenrir comes with the death eaters…then DD says” Am i to take it that you are attacking even without the full moon now? This is most unusual….You have developed a taste of human flesh that cannot be satisfied once a month?” “Thats right” said Greyback. “Shocks you that,does it, Dumbledore? Frightens you?” “Well, I cannot pretend it doesn’t disgust me a little,” Said Dumbledore.”And yes, I am a little shocked that Draco here invited you, of all people, to the school where his friends live…..” “I didn’t,” breathed Malfoy. He was not looking at Fenrir; he did not seem to to want to even glance at him.”I didn’t Know he was going to come…” AND THAT PROVES I DON’T THINK DRACO IS EVIL!! I think when Snape ran off with him I think he is going to bring him to the order or something…Well tell me what you think……………..Mirrissa

  29. O yeah who do you think ‘R.A.B.’ IS? Remmber the pocket said this……………..
    ‘To the Dark Lord
    I know I will be dead long before you read this
    but i want you to Know i was the one who discovered your secret
    I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as i can
    I face death in the hope that when you meet you match
    you will be mortal once more.
    R.A.B.’

    Well R.A.B. was probably a death eater that turned good, and I think he(or she) was probably a Black. Well i do not know……tell me what you think…………………………Mirrissa

  30. I mean the LOCKET said…..sorry i said pocket…….mirrissa

  31. 4 Mirrissa..—(quoting from ur previous comments)

    “Even if DD is dead, he will have a picture in his old office,right? So Harry has at least one way to talk to him.”

    — how can u b sure that he’ll go back 2 hogwatrs??? 😉 bsyds, there R possibilities 4 him 2 go bak, but u never kno…

    thn agn, im not sure if the letter found wid DD was actually ritn by him on behalf of RAB or was it ritn by RAB, n if it WAS ritn by RAB, wat was it doing wid DD???

    Tahmed

  32. n yes, as ur suspect of RAB being a death eater u turned gud, try providing wid sum variuos reasons behind ur thots, RAB being a death eatr, how cum JKR din gave ne refernce of him/her in the 4th book wen the dark lord rizes agn n all the death etrs r bak 2gthr in the graveyard tht nyt?????? bsyds, the letter itself says tht by the tym voldemort reads the letr, RAB will b dead.

  33. RAB is Regulus Black…or at least i think. He is dead because he attempted to stop being a Death Eater and was killed by either Voldemort or one of the other Death Eaters. The thing is that he must have been good and was apposing Voldemort as his brother had.

  34. burning question, so when the do not disturb sign is up, there’s no point trying to get pass it. is that right?

    hmm, there’s a pen under the rubbish bin tab. clicking on it reveals a drawing. havent figured it out. has anyone figures it yet?

  35. Does anyone else have a theroy? I find them highly interesting.

  36. im having trouble drawing the lightning bolt it wont accept it!

  37. RAB is almost certainly regulus black because when black was translated in the foreign books say in one country it was regulus svart it became RAS and the same is true for many countries

  38. to shell,
    the lightning bolt has to look like the one on harrys head. not any regular lightning bolt

  39. Your blog is on the very high level and includes a lot of very interesting information and was very useful for me.

  40. can any 1 outthere tell me how i can take the wombat test plzzzz

  41. to potter H? you cant the wombat test until the door opens again

  42. Thanks for all the help youve given meeee

  43. Hi I’m Anthony nd although you all prob no this bi now, but R.A.B STANDS FOR REGAULUS ARCURUOS BLACK – SIRIUS’ BROTHER

  44. woops sorry REGULUS ARCTURUS BLACK

  45. there is also another pen drawing which is a question mark without the dot… just incase noone knew…

  46. For the pen breaking and the cackle afterward…it’s not a woman cackling, it’s peeves. If you use the time-turner in the room with the door, you will occasionally come across a time when peeves writes on the mirror that he was there. He says “Peeves Woz Here”.
    I would like to know how to take the W.O.M.B.A.T quiz though. I can’t seem to be able to get that rock to appear anymore. I remember when that first appeared, but I couldn’t figure out what to do with the rock at that time. Now it won’t appear…

  47. What do you mean by a pen drawing that’s a question mark without the dot? Do you mean you can draw that on the paper you drew the lightning bolt?

  48. And every once in a while, the doorbell rings. Does anyone know what that’s about? Are you supposed to go to the ? door room?

  49. If in the door 13/06/07 you click the fly in the window, it turns to be a key, put it in the door knob, and open the door, you will find the exam level 3, the most difficult

  50. I would like to get to do the wombat test number 2, is the only one im missing, i passed the other 2…

  51. Go to the rubbish bin go to the object in the up-left corner of her desk. when you mouse over it, It spins. Leave the mouse pointer on the object so it wont stop spinning. Leave it on there long enough, soon it will move to reveal something drawn on a memo. Copy what is drawn onto the notepad on the extra stuff page. this will give you a reward

  52. i’m having a bit of trouble keeping the pen steady when drawing the lightening bolt- any advice?

  53. Hold the pen as steady as you can and draw the lightening bolt in the centre. If you go to ‘Links’ and wait for a while – 5mins or so but don’t click on anything, Peeves blows through and will knock over a picture to reveal an example of how should draw it.

    P.S. The original post is taken directly from mugglenet.com Is this mentioned anywhere? Just wondering as they haven’t even bothered to change the wording. It’s exactly the same.

  54. hey man this is hard at the morement i am waiting for preeves

  55. i was just on the website and if you go into the rubish bin and lave your mouse on the spinning top in the top left hand corner it moves away to reveal a peice of paper with a ? on it , does any one know wat this is for and also i cannot seem to find the ingredinents for the potions , do they apear at random?

  56. when you click on the earser it brings you to a door well down next to the door there is kind of the date and a picture of a time holder thingy if you click on the lowest handel on it will bring you back in time! like a time turner and you can find more doors and lots more things! also if you click the top one it brings you to a do not disturb sign.

  57. also the womabt thing was, like a test like owls for muggles or whateva the first test you can still do if you have a student idenfication code which is what you enter when you click on the wombat card, but if you didnt get there in time or only found out about the site recently and didnt get the identification code you will have to wait until J.K makes another student code thiny which is when J.K decides so i dont no when you will be able to get another student idenfacation code!

  58. the letter riddle is just a clue for the rining phone and the little box you tap five times!

  59. maybe someone knows answers to the questions in present boxes near christmas tree? in 20 12 04?

  60. after putting mouse over Sneakoscope(probably spelled that wrong :p) it has a question mark without the dot. i go to draw it but whenever i click the pen goes back.
