I've noticed this as well! Could it be a clue towards the door?

It looks like there are only 24 days on the calendar. It says the door will open on December 20 and 21st.

Maybe it's a clue to future books. Peter might do something that is worth getting a trophy for. Perhaps saving Harry's live from Voldemort?

Anyone know what the drawing in the snow is? If you look out the window you can see that there is a picture of something.

yeah......I wonder that too,or it just a decoration or something?oh........I dunno........

Yeah, that's generally the traditional amount, at least on British Advent Calendars as it's only a countdown to Christmas Day.

I'm still not seeing the calendar thing and how did you work out the 20/21 day thing.

There are 2 awards for Riddle, one for Frank Longbottom and Percy Weasley...there's none on there for Pettigrew...

Instinct tells me those things in the window (outside, I think you mean) are trees covered by snow but the shape does sort of look like a wolf/dog.

I think I must've been on the website while she was or whoever was doing it, was updating because I see stuff now on there that I didn`t see yesterday.

um it kinda looks like dobby it u look upside down to the left

The picture in the snow seems to be blocked by the vase of hollyberries. I think they need to be removed before we know what the drawing is.

I think I got Peter mixed up with Frank. My bad. It makes me wonder what Bellatrix got an award for. I think one of Riddle's was for the "capture" of the Heir. The other.....I have no idea. I'm sure Frank's is for his work as an Auror.

James also has quite a few.

I don't know what it could be. At first I thought it was a bird.

Hmm... I don't see anything different, but I did notice that on the links page, there are moving pictures of what looks like the beach. I never saw that before.




Look to the far right and you can see the calendar. It looks like a big house. I started with the first single door and counted that as 1. Then I went down the list and counted the rest till I got to 24. If you look on doors 20 and 21 you can see that there open.

So, I'm thinking that that's when she's planning on opening the door. Just a guess, but I'm pretty sure that's what it means. Or maybe that's when she's going to update.

Has anyone found if you can do anything with all the new xmas things?

or do we just have to...wait?

No, the very top door is the 24th, two doors are open at the bottom, because it has been two days into December(well now 4). As the month progresses more doors will open, by the 24th all doors will be open.

Hopefully we'll get a Christmas surprise on the 25th and/or maybe a New Year's, I love her site so much.

I think the figure in the window looks like a really fat Blast-Ended Skrewt from the cover of GoF, lol. Maybe the vase will move soon and we can see it fully.

That wasn't on the UK version of the site yet!

BTW your theory about the numbers is a bit off. Advent calendars don't have the doors running in numerical order -- the numbers are scattered all over the place so that ones open could be numbers 1 and 2 etc..

To me it looks like 1 and 2 are open.

I just noticed the little sweeties in the doors. Why hasn't she eaten them like a normal person?!

Yeah four are open now to cooresppond with 4 days having passed in December.

Well that makes since. Gosh, there goes my theory. And I was getting excited too. Well, I still think she might give us a update on Christmas or near it.

Why can't I ever be right about anything?

Did you know that if you stay on the first page for a while things get knocked over? What's that all about? Did I miss something along the way?

Also, What marble are you talking about? Because I can see one.

That's because Peeves flies by and knocks stuff over.

There is no marble anymore.

I was thinking, do you think JK will give us a hint to the book as a Christmas present? She seems into these sort of things...
