In the news section, Jo talks about eBay, once again reminding fans of the many autograph forgeries which are being sold there. Quote:
Yes, we've been here before, but having strolled over to eBay (come on, I've got to have a break sometimes) I note that the forgers aren't getting any better at my signature. Frankly, some of them are barely trying. So please bear in mind that these 'certificates of authenticity' are not worth the paper they are written on.
Banned Books Week also gets a mention in the news update. Quote:
Once again, the Harry Potter books feature on this year's list of most-banned books. As this puts me in the company of Harper Lee, Mark Twain, J. D. Salinger, William Golding, John Steinbeck and other writers I revere, I have always taken my annual inclusion on the list as a great honour. "Every burned book enlightens the world." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the diary section she talks about the invention of the word horcrux. Quote:
Sitting at my desk trying to invent a word yesterday brought back memories of the last time I did so. I had tried for days and days to hit upon the right name for 'the receptacle in which a Dark wizard has hidden a fragment of his soul for the purposes of attaining immortality.'
Finally, after much transposition of syllables, I scribbled 'Horcrux' on a piece of paper and knew it was The One. But what if somebody had already used it? With some trepidation I typed 'Horcrux' into Google and, to my delight, saw what I was looking for: 'Your search - "Horcrux" - did not match any documents.'
So anyway, yesterday I Googled 'Horcrux' again. 401,000 results. As you might imagine, this gave me something of a lift as I went back to scribbling nonsense words on the back of a takeaway menu.
Jo has also shot down some rumours; Snape wasn't hiding under the invisibility cloak on the night the Potters died, Book 7 won't be called Harry Potter and the Graveyard of Memories and Stubby Boardman isn't Regulus Black.
Last, but not least, another FSA was awarded, this time to Potterish.com.

The brass circle is on the table. It's just a brown-colored circle. It's after the clover, and after you manage to open the drawer.
WOMBATs are awesome! | |

I took the test also! I had missed the previouse WOMBAT by 1 day, so I am really glad that I was able to complete it this time! Does anyone know when/where we go to get our results?

How long does it take for your paper to be graded? I know it says you have to wait till the near future but like what do you do to see if it's graded. Do you go onto the test and when it says "Enter the student Identification code" it'll say if it's graded?  | |

Yeah I stil don't know when it will be graded, so does anyone know when? Or will you just be graded at the next challenge? It was really hard answering the muggle studies questions.

wombat 2 was interesting and fun to discover. I didn't do wombat 1 so don't have anything to compare difficulty with. However I thought this was hard although I'm sure some of the answers were commonsense. I will see when I get the dreaded results.

ATTENTION!!!vvvvv
i can only enter the text only portion of her site on this computer. the spot where it has the enter site or whatever and you're supposed to click has a big empty box with the red "x" in the corner. Does anybody know why? If so please PM me to help me out. Knowing my family my stepdad probably banned buttons that were too big. HE's way too overprotective.
