Okay, so we know that there are hidden clues around the site and I was just poking around looking at things and happened upon something in the section where all the trophies are.

Did anyone happen to notice the trophy that said "Bellatrix Black"?

It's been many months since I read # 5 so I can't remember for sure if it said or not....

Is Bellatrix really Sirius Black's sister?

Bellatrix and Sirius are cousins.

wow that clears up some stuf lol

If you read the book, you would know it said that.

I know i haven't OotP in a year so I don't remember everything in it

Oh, i know how that is. I wanted to red the book fast so i could start dscussing the book on the internet and find out who dies. Bad Idea. I totally forgot half the things in the book. I didn't remember anything about how Harry tried to put the Crucio curse on Bellatrix. I reread it at the beginning of the year and finished it in June. Well, it only took that long cuz i had TCAP (its the standerised test in TN,), and Algebra exams.

Crucio curse once again would you mind refreshing my memory lol ya I also totally forgot about the snake and harry and Mr.Weasley untill I read the fifth chapter again lol okay I got the book the first night it came out at 12:01 and a got the 4th book at 3:00pm instead of 12:01 so ya first one in north america or one of the first to get both of them. This is also forgeting about the time zones. Okay I read the fifth book 100 pages first night 50 the next day and about twenty pages a dya for the next week but I didn't want the book to end so fast so I stopped reading it and finished the book finally in september lol

*winces* It is the cruciatus curse my friends, cruciatus.

Not "crucio."

Crucio is the incantantion for the Cruciatus Curse. Crucio literally means "I torment" or "I torture" in Latin.

It's kind of nice having a Latin expert on the Forums to help us with all of our theories . How fluent in Latin are you?

~Fuoco

Heh, not fluent, per se (means though itself ), but I'm alright at it. I'm going to enter my 3rd year of study iduring my next school year, and I'm getting extra lessons from my magistra (a made-up feminine form of magister, which means teacher) this summer. I know enough to understand what the spells and such mean.

My main goal this summer is to be able to completely read and understand "Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis", or "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", translated into Latin *points to her signature, which is the twins making fun of Percy the Prefect*.

I'm more than glad to be able to clear things up ! I'm glad to make my main intrest a useful one!

thats what I thought it was I was just a little clouddy mind there

Yeah, i knew that was what it was called but i didn't know how to spell it so i just put the incantation. sorry.

I think thats how we all are, the new book comes out and we are so eager to finish it we might pass over minute details. Your not alone =)

lol. Yeah. I had to re read the book to remember all the minor details.

But that makes it even better, we get to read Harry Potter Longer!!! woooo!!!

yeah, you have a point, peaceoflorien, but even u have to admit it gets a lil old reading the same thing 10 times.

Yeah... it does get a little old but it makes you anticipate the next book more =P

If you keep re-reading, you are only bound to miss so many things, By round 6 of reading the series, I think you have it down and could sit in front of a judge and tell him the book front to back with music bumping in your ears, so it does get old.

oh ceres if you know latin, could you tell me whats written on the book behind the door on JK's site? i cant find any good translators. here's a link:

http://www.jkrowling.com/f7b3qash/my_room_book.swf

How do you open this door?

Somebody get Ceres to read it. She says that she can 'sorta' read latin.

Ceres is the best in latin on the site. I'm sure she will asisst you in due time.

How do u open this door? I'm stumped.

i dont know, someone else hacked the site, and i found this link. BUT IF YOU GO THERE NOW IT'S OPEN!!!!!!!!1 ANYONE CAN OPEN IT!!!!!!! THE REAL TITLE IS THERE!!!!!!!!!! GO!!!!!!!!! GO NOW!!!!!!!!

Yeah...this seems kinda suspicious. I don't know about this title. Not only does it seem iffy but I think JK's just messing with our heads

I agree. I got through after a bunch of tries so I won't reveal it (I feel to proud of myself). The title does seem... odd though. hmmm. She's probably laughing at us after putting up a fake title and seeing us scramble.

Okay, so honestly though what's the pattern of brick tapping? Because if it is a hoax, I don't want to waste time since I only have this last day of summer freedom. If it's not a hoax...I still want to know the pattern so I can finish this day off with a good prank...or book...whichever

The title behind the door is one that was meant for the 2nd book. That was what the 2nd book was originally called. i donno if she is using that title for her next book though

i think she is, because she says shes using a storyline that was supposed to be in chamber of secrets, but she thought it was too early.

It is the real title. she confirmed on NEWS on her site.

Yeah, i know i read that a little later after i posted that thread. I can't wait till it comes out! Hopefully, she will tell us the release date soon.

I hope she tells us soon that is in like a few months. not soon and it comes out next summer. I would rather wait til like March, and here it come out June.

so wut exactly was she supposed to reveal to us on July 1st??? i hope its the release date....

Yeah, that was when everyone thought the title was Pillar of Storge

yeah, way back on the weekend.

I wonder when she will tell us the release date.

Probably when she is done with 2nd draft. Because that is what she's working on.

She is? I didn't know that. How do u know? i read for the Pillar thing that she finished her first draft but i never actually heard her say that.

I forgot where, I think Mugglenet posted where it was.

I thouhght i heard she was just finishing up her first draft. not starting a new second draft...

Yeah, me too. I DUNNO, just wanna know when it comes out.

I really need to look up on this. I am totally behind.

Have you ever gone on a site called Godrics's Hollow? Well, I read something about Book 6 coming out in about 4-5 months, but it was an unconfirmed report, of course.

Before Book 5's official release date was announced... There were SO MANY false alarms and hoax's.... So my belief is, untill JKR says a release date... and when the book companies say a release date... im not believeing any of it. :?

Your right! Sooooo Right! Darn-it! I got so excited..and thought thats great..4-5months, we will have book 6??????
But with all the rumors before..'bout Mark Evans and that wrong title.....should have taught me all what the word UNCONFIRMED, means by now...Boo-Hoo (sobbing sounds) Oh Well!
So, I decited listening today, on the Audio Tapes(by Jim Dale) Book One again, took a long walk this morning and I'm feeling pretty good now...Pollyjuicegranny

Rumours are kind of annoying... But I completely agree, trust nothing unless you KNOW its official

I agree.. I don't trust MOST things on the internet anymore..at least those things that deal with certain release dates of HP books! Haha.

I guess we're just going to have to wait, wait, wait!

Patience is the key my friends and it is also a virtue.

Wow same here. I first read it right when it came out then read it again a year later and I forgot that everything happened! Like i was reading a totally new and different book!

How are you guys able to find so much on that site? I could only look at 'Extra Stuff', and that's it. Are there any other places to look at, besides news and rumors too?
