New W.O.M.B.A.T & updates at JK's website (UPDATED)

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.

Thanks to One_Less_Then_Molly for the tip!

yay, checks it out :woot: first to post!!!

Yay! Glad I could help out. :yes: Jo rox sooo much!! I took my test, :worried: I think I'm going to get a "T" :cry: It was so much harder then the first one!

wow - too exciting! Can't find the chest of drawers except the ones the key is on - aaaaaaaah - help!!!!!!!

That test was well hard! I just hope that she gives us a prize afterwards. Bet it will be the title of the new book. Good luck everyone

I tried to open the drawers, but it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong??? I get to the key????

yay! The door is open! Where's the test paper and the four leaf clover though? And the key?

The four leaf clover is in the bottom letf corner, when pressed after doing lighting the candle, dipping the quill and clicking the wombat book, it will turn into a key. if you line up the edge of the key in the middle of the handle, the drawer should open.

Thanks for the info! The updates sound so cool - I'm off to check them out.

thanks! that helped. i amanged to do the wobat. is it just me or is it hard?

im going to go check out the W.O.M.B.A.T. right now

The "which one's true/ false" questions are really hard. Who am I kidding, they're all really hard.

I'm terrible at multi choice questions as I'm not that decisive!

it was sooooo hard! (yes i got in in the end)

I still couldn't use that key...

well her 'horcrux' idea was really cool. anyway i like whatever she writes.

Cool, just taken the test!

w00000000000000000t! I just took it! *waits impatiently bahaha. Awesome awesome awesome news btw, I would have totally missed this, thanks!

For those of you who can't get the key to work (highlight to read): Try letting go of the key on every inch of desk drawer (located on the left), eventually it will work. That's what I did and it worked fine for me. =] *Hugs ya'll* Good luck every one!<o:p></o:p>

The test was kind of hard. I think some may have multiple answers and the last was definitely a trick question. I got Exceeds Expectations on the last one so I hope I do as well this time.

That W.O.M.B.A.T was hard wasn't it? I loved it, and want to get my first score!

I did the test, it was really tough! :O I didn't get to do the original W.O.M.B.A.T.S so this is a really new thing for me. It was really cool! Now I wish I'd taken the other test but that's okay. This will be fun. I bet I flunked. XD I'm no good at taking tests. :O

strangeseraph, you'll be fine. I didn;t take the first test either, so it was new for me, and really tough.

OMG! I didn't take the first W.O.M.B.A.T so this is like really cool for me! I am so going to go and take it now!

:woot: I'm so glad that was up..but it was so hard =/ I don't think I did as well on this one..

miss weasley, do you mean the draw? On the desk, abit further down, there is a small, silver thing right? Drag the key over that.

YEA!! that test was hard and I didn't do the first one but OH-WELL!!

That's great! I've got to check it out ^^

How do you find out what you scored? I never took the first one.

That test was hard, don't you think?

Yay! Ok, I'm going to check it out now...

I didn't take the first test, but I took this one! It was very difficult...watch me get a T. :D

Which isn't to say he wasn't there ... like on the wall ... NEW RUMOR: Snape Animagus Fly? Or Snape ... the Potter's Nanny ... which would explain why he hates Harry ... I mean wouldn't you having to change all those dirty diapers? ZOMG! Crucio or something ... this proves nothing Jo ... except how sly you are :mwaha: That's why we wuv you :blush:

Quote:

Book 7 won't be called Harry Potter and the Graveyard of Memories

That just automatically sounds Lame anyone who took that seriously should just ... ZOMG ... lame ...

Quote:

and Stubby Boardman isn't Regulus Black

... then he's really Sirius Black and the guy who Harry knew wasn't really Sirius but someone else imposinating him all along ... Good Job fooled even Lupin ...

I took the test but I don't think I did to well.

I am pretty sure I failed that :lol: Oh well, thats probably why I am in the real world and not at Hogwarts

Cool! I just took the test and I did really bad! :lol: Those were some hard questions in my opinion! But it was fun.

I've been waiting for this for like my whole life!!!!!:faint:
ill go check it out right now:woot:

edit: i just finished taking the test and i wont lie...im pretty sure i failed it...by far:yes: :lol:

I just took the test. It was hard! I don't think I did so good...

I just finished taking the test. But I'm not sure whether I did very well or not. It felt like an SOL test to me. I hope I did well on it.

I can't even open the door. Can someone help me?

So awesome! Thanks so much for the steps.:D

Oh cool! Definatly gonna go check it out!

woot i am so taking the test!!!!! i did last time too, but i lost the password so this time i won't!!!!!!!!! i won't with all my might!

EDIT: i've finished the test and emailed myself the code!!! woot

but JKR is inventive, as always :) that's why we love her

i've took the test. it was really hard! :)

Thoose Student ID codes are really weird! Thanks for the update! I don't think I did very well on the W.O.M.B.A.T.S.

This one was so difficult. I really wonder what she's planning with the W.O.M.B.A.T.S. in general.

OO I have never even heard of W.O.M.B.A.T. next time I can, I am going to have to go check this out.

I took the test. We'll see what I'll get. And I used the same code as last time.

kool gana check it out

hmmm great! gonna chek it out

Yay, I got in!

Good luck to everyone!

Uhoh, can't find the key...some help please?

You have to do the instructions in order.

I've done them in the right order, yet I still can't find the key...

Are you sure? Did yo click on the HBP book?

I agree it as been while since anyonee was FSA!

did you get in then?

Just completed the test.

It was miles easier than the 1st one which is a bit odd!!!!! I shouldn't have said that, it's a prelude to failure!!!!!!

I got an Outstanding for the 1st one so fingers crossed I'll get another one............

the thing with them shell is they arent things we know from the book

Wow! I didn't think it would be that hard, but it was.:head:

i can't get it up! *goes and cries*

Oo I'm really studying a lot of Harry Potter for this. What happens if you get a high grade? It says there is like Grade 1 and 2. Can anyone tell me how to do Grade 1? Or is it the same way and I was too late to do the Grade 1 test.

the test was a little hard. i didnt think it would be as hard as it was.

How do I find out if I've passed or not?

im going to doooo it x'D lolz

cool beans...it was hard, but fun!

I just did it and I hope I pass! I printed my student identification already ^^

This test is tough. =[

EDIT: I just realized - You can take it over and over again.
How come? 0_o

Thank you One_Less_Then_Molly!!

Nope, I didn't click on the HBP book...

This test was so much harder then the first...

I can't even open the door......PLZZZZZZZZZZz help me!!!..............PLZZZZZZZzzz

Did the clover sparkle?

Yup, It always sparkles but then just goes back to normal again! It doesn't change.

Was the candle on? Was the feather in the pot? Was the W.O.M.B.A.T revision book closed? (When you did it).

great i'll look at it

You must do everything in the EXACT order as is said in the first post, methinks.

Oh my word that was diffiicult!

awww man that is great.

You guys... will some one please tell me how I find out if I passed or not?

OMG! We had a celebration of Banned Books here at the library and I have to say that I was the only one to read Harry Potter. I had some fans come up afterwards and we talked! :woot: Nice to meet other HP fans.

On the W.O.M.B.A.T. Test, there was one question that I was just so happy about and that was Muggle-born witches/wizards usually have a witch or wizard from generations past. I have always wondered about that one. :shifty:

JKR will announce later on when we will be able to retrieve our scores, that is why you need to keep up with the code that is given at the end of your test

wow that was a lot harder than I expected.

great, thanks for all the info!
