I went onto the JKR site recently and the pot containing the 4 pens was lying down on the desk. After looking at a few articles it was standing back up again in it's usual position. I have no idea what this means and it has never happened again. Has it happened to anyone else Huh. I promise I had not hit the gin after a particularly bad day at work - honestly.

Peeves comes through the site periodically and makes a mess on the desk.  If you stay on the site long enough, it will happen again.  I don't think you see him, though.  You just hear him and then things on the desk get scattered.

Its happened to me and I don't know why either.  It didn't seem to make any difference to anything.
I still don't get that thing with the cauldron and ingredients on the notice-board.  Do you?  I know I must be really stupid but the only puzzle I've managed to solve is the mobile phone and that's only because its so obvious!
I don't mind cheating if somebody wants to tell me!!!!

i havent been on here in ages!

on the main desk if you watch it for about 10 minutes without clicking on anything you see a doxy come along and knock the pens over and at the same time the watch face changes.

the ingredients thing, you have to search the site for the things shown, i cant remember where they are sorry! you just have to click on them.

theres a key behind a book in the links section which opens up the chest next to it. have you got that one?

JK's site has been updated and mugglenet has been named fan site of the month! About time as well - I have been visiting it for years and found it very informative and easy to read. Smiley

I thought it may be useful to modify this thread to discuss the site in general as it seems that JK is rather fond of updating it - go Jo Wink I'll sticky it as it will be an ongoing thread I hope!

So any discussions, rumour mongering Wink questions about easter eggs etc, this is the place to do it! Which brings me to my next point...

There a 3 guaranteed new easter eggs on there as of today - in addition to the old ones. Hints and cheats on request, though I think it would be more fun for everyone to have a go at cracking the secrets themselves first! So no posting answers yet Smiley

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!

The best updates in a while, check out the rubbish bin and especially the FAQ section - she answers alot of questions posed to her by an open letter from the mugglenet/HP lexicon sites - and she has indicated that she may answer alot more in the future:D. She also answers the FAQ poll q (What does Dumbledore mean by his Howler to Aunt Petunia 'remember my last?')

Looking forward to Book 6 even more than PoA update - is that even possible? Wink

Umm.. I know it's been a while but where's the rubbish bin and FAQ section ??  Undecided

*EDIT*

I have wandered around in the trash.. but not spotted anything in particular... rumours about her husband giving up work etc... and as a warning to anyone who ever wants to trade with me - I just set the sneakoscope off!!!

The only thing that was added to the bin was the rumour about her cousin being the person she based the character of Harry on. The FAQ is the best bit though - incase you have not found it, its the paper clips that rearrange themselves into the shape of a question mark when you move you mouse over them!

In the rubbish bin there is a broken egg on the floor, it disappears if you click onto it. Apart from that and the marble that has appreared by the pen pot and the that the butterfly is now a green colour instead on blue I have not noticed anything else. I like the new rubbish bin and hope the new poll shows up soon. Has anyone found anything else?

If you wait on the main desk for a while, a doxy? will come across, and the marble near the pen pot will change colour-click on it!  Grin

Click on the pen to the left of the rubbish bin, and the ink will reveal Easter eggs  to collect for more site content.

The site has been updated today, Halloween.  There is new information behind the locked door!

I can't open it!

The US site (.com) still has the DND sign on it
The UK site (.co.uk) does not have the sign, but the door does not open!

If you wait a while, a whole bunch of keys appear.  Click and drag them one at a time to the key hole until one unlocks the door.  Then click the handle.  Door opens, shows the desk from above, but I dont know what to do now....
