Feel free to discuss the four hidden "easter eggs" on Jo's site here.

Edit: Well, I guess there are five now that we should include the HBP secret.

Well in Fan Sites, I think it is, in the trophy room, there are two boxes with missing medallions. Well they aren't really missing; they're next to the boxes. If you put the medallions in the boxes, PRESTO! (haha) you get a prize.

wait, so there ARE only four clues! they give you "PAge 2" and PAge 4" but not 1 and 3? whats up with that?!

Hmm? There are four. How did you get the other two? I can help you find the rest if you tell me how you got 2 & 4.

i cant remember which is which but here are the ones ive found:

the cell phone one (62442)

the one in "FAn Sites" where you put the medals in their holders

The one in "links" where you move the book to get the key, then open the chest thing

the one in "extra stuff" where you use the eraser (or rubber, whatever you say) on the blank page, then you double click on all the items (and thats it, you get it automatically, you dont have to put it in a cauldron)


are there any more?

Well I don't think there are more scrapbook pages, but you can get into the room behind the door with the scrunchie portkey. But I'm sure everyone knows what's behind that door.

How do you move the books in links?

You just have to drag it. There is one book that drags to the left I think. Behind that is a key.

well, that means shes obviously planning to put more then, so thats good

I really hope JKR includes an easter egg about when the sixth book will release in stores. :roll:

I was discovering stuff on JKR site too. Did you use the eraser on the blank page and make erasing motions? It gives a formula of magic over the cauldren.
And guess I missed it or thought it was'nt inportant at the time, but when you click on EDITS there is alot of info. on Dean Thomas that was not put inthe books. Was all that in there before? I like Dean.. It mentions how it was a surprize when Dean recieved his Hogwart's letter. His mother wondered whether his father might have been a wizard, but how he never told her because he wanted to protect her, got himself killed by death-eaters when he refused to join them. JKR said the projected story of Dean discovering all this during his school career, was edited to sacrafice Neville's story, which is important to the central plot..
Verrrrrry interesting!

Doubt it, although it would be very desirable. Release dates are mostly up to the editors, and I'mn pretty sure she doesn't have her second draft done yet. I'm guessing... a year and a half until it's done.

By the way, can anyone even read her handwriting? Because I sure can't and I'd very much like to read the page from PS... :roll:

Has anyone else noticed that the butterfly tends to point out where the Easter Eggs are? On the Links page, it lands on the book you move. And it hints at the others too.
On the front page it lands on the keyboard. I wonder if there is something to do with the keyboard.

Hey. On the fan sites, one of the "medalion" boxes now has a blue background. Is that new?

No, it's always been blue--at least it has ever since I started visiting it (which was shortly after she opened it).

I am SO confused. I have no Idea where the easter eggs are. help?

They're not actually Easter Eggs, it's just what she called them when her site first opened because it was around Easter when she opened it. Easter Eggs are hidden things around the site that let you see things that were almost put into the books and stuff like that. To get a head start, go to her site and on the front page, dial 62442 ("MAGIC") on the cell phone. That's where I started!

OHHHHHHHHHH... I htought you guys were talking about actual easter eggs... shows how gullible I am.. =P

Did anyone notice that in the fan sites hall of fame room there is an extra box for a medal. I didn't notice it when I put the ? medals it the other boxes so I don't know if it means something else. I tried to move one of the medals but I can't. Any ideas on what it could mean?

I tried putting a medal in that box--it doesn't do anything. I don't think it can't be a clue, but if it is a clue, I haven't figured it out yet. (But maybe it's just there to throw us off--I mean, so far there are only four clues (I believe) and I've found all of them).

HELP!!! i did find all the easter eggs but the one where i have to put the rubber/eraser on the blank page...i can't find all the stuff...i think i found the leaf and i found the feather but i can't find the spider(is that what it is?) or the potion thingy. HELP!!! :cry:

I do not know what this means but has anyone been on the site when a gust of wind blowns down the pen holder and then I hear a cackling laugh and then that it is followed by a large black flying insect - I suspect it to be an animagious - but when it happened last time I also noticed the face of the wrist watch on the desk change. I thought it looked a little like the face of the watch that she described Dumbledore having in Ch.1 of Book 1. I keep trying to catch it but I haven't - any body have a clue?

Okay...finally got 4 entries in my scrapbook, but only 2 pages were numbered, is that what everybody else has? clicked on the spider and feather, nothing happened with either one. but COMPLETELY stumped on the door. I cannot open it...HELP!

okay i cant find the spider !!!!!!!! somebody help!!!!

okay people, typers, fellow hp fans, yah u get the idea! if you want to find the thing on the paper in the extra stuff section go to the extra stuff section and you'll find the leafs. i think remember THINK the quill is in the sites section. potion is in the links part on a boofshelf. the spider is either the headboard with the gum or in the sites part. :roll:

On the main page of the site, if you click and hold on the coffey mug and drag it on top of the coffey mug stain on the note pad that says welcome something really cool happens. The watch does something weird, theres this really weird bug that moves accross the page, and the gum wrappers move. try it

Thank you, Guest! You should register if you haven't already..we could use more of your helpful hints. I'm trying to figure out why the butterfly keeps landing on the keyboard! Someone mentioned something earlier about how the butterfly points out clues or something, I think you're quite right by the way! Oh yea, has anyone ever had something where the cell phone turns on and it shows like the number of seconds on the phone but you have to answer it first? I don't know if that was just something it does occassionaly, input please! Gee this post was long..

Note: That thing doesn't seem to work for me, the one about the coffee mug..IDK.

Lol, I wanna get behind the door =(

sadly, so does everyone else, lol. But like we said earlier, it'll open again... I hate being patient

I hate being patient too.. that door frustrates me sometimes! Can't wait though.. bwhahaha..

Actually, I just noticed something else that she migh've changed.

Everytime I click the switch for the keyboard, the light goes off. Maybe my computer's messed up because it didn't do this before.

Also, everytime I click on F.A.Qs, the ? appears. Hmmmm....

You ppl are smart, you'll figure it out.

Actually rupertlvr81 I think that's a light switch, not a switch for the keyboard and the mouseover for the FAQs brings the paperclips together to form a question mark..I dunno, it's always been like that for me.. I don't know about other pps..your input please!

Oh. HA HA HA HA! But I think the keyboard has something to do with the site one day... hmmm

Maybe I'm just slow. Oh well, that happens a lot. Thanks tashluvsdan

No its ok, rupertlvr81!! Haha, I'm sloowwww toooo! Sometimes at least. I agree, the keyboard has something to do with it..someone mentioned earlier on this topic that the butterfly points out the clues, and well, the butterfly is always landing on the keyboard on the front page..well, we'll see if someone *brighter* figures it out before we slow ones do..haha..

Of course the paperclips for a "?" It is for the F.A.Q.!
When you click on the mug and drag it or whatever, it starts to glow. The same goes for the pen, the hair band thing, and the key for the links.

I think the butterfly on the keyboard might be to point out the cell phone. That is the only thing I can figure out. I hope she does add more clues, it is so much fun to find them.

The spider is crawling around on the main page, you have to click it. I remember the feather was laying on a bookself. I think in the links section. And the leaves where tacked up on the bulletin board.

how do u get the prize in the exra stuff room cos even when u use the rubber and double click on the cauldron and stuff that comes up nothing happens

omg i luv u people. i have managed to fina all the easter eggs- thanx!!! i no longer feel pathetic and useless!!!

Some of them helped me out too, but I found most of them on my own..but you're welcome? lol, even though I didn't contribute MUCH..

A few people had mentioned this before...

If you remain still for so long on the opening site and on the doorway, you get a surprise. I am testing the other rooms now.

Does this mean you must leave your comp idle? Like not move the mouse or whatever? lol... I'm so clueless.

I think you can just not click anything on her site. I had her site open, and something came on tv. I went in and was watching it and heard a phone ring. I seen it was the phone on her site. A little latter, the wind blew and knocked over the cup. Try it in all the different rooms. It works in all of them. I was thinking maybe it does something by the way she told us to be patient, but I've yet to find anything.

If you have ALOT of patience... just sit on her main page or other pages... and just WAIT untill something happens... I have heard the phone ring, doesnt do anything if you try to dial while its ringing or try to answer it... but I have never seen the cup tip over.. so now I will have to go check it out.

Check out the locked door room if you wait for like 10 min. Its kinda neat. The others are bland.
