WAG - Information from beyond the secret door
J.K. Rowling has announced the title of the sixth book in the Harry Potter series.
It has been hidden on her site, but she confirmed Harry Potter and the HBP was the actual title of the next book.
Want to know the actual title?
Wizard News.com offers a walkthrough of how to get to it (or you can keep reading here, since I added some details to their directions).
On J.K. Rowling’s main page, there is a black hair tie between the golden “Fan Sites” key and the decorative computer disk. It is currently designated “?”
Click on it, and you will be taken to another room. There you will see a window, a door, and a mirror (which if you stick around long enough, Peeves will write you a crude message).
The door was formerly locked, but now you can open it to see a brick wall.
There are five bricks that when clicked will slide away. You have to click around for them. You can hunt for them or specifically find their locations moving from top to bottom: 1) three down and two complete (not a half or partially missing) bricks over moving left to right, 2) five down and two complete over, 3) seven down and three complete over, 4) 19 down and two complete over (or six up from the bottom and 2 over), and 5) 23 down and two complete over (or three up and two over).
Found them? Good. Now you have to click them in a certain order. You need to click them in the order of 3-4-2-5-1.
This should make the bricks slide out of the way to reveal a secret room. Click on the fan and it will blow several papers your way. One will fly up and the title of book six will be typed out on it.
Going back to the “News” site, Rowling clarifies, "The HBP is neither Harry nor Voldemort,” but says she will make no more comment about the identity until after the book is published. We also learn Rowling mean to include more information in Chamber of Secrets, but decided it would be better placed in book six.
This is all cool. Though we still don’t know when the next book will be released, this tidbit should tide me over till the weekend. Maybe… Must keep from speculating, for that will only drive me crazier…
