J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter

Posted by Cheryl Lykowski on December 24, 2006




 How many of you are Harry Potter fans? Well, if you are then you are one of many who is waiting for the title of the seventh book in the series to be released.  On the 21st of December, Scholastic, which is J.K. Rowling’s publisher, released the title of the book.

Now I could easily just tell you the title. But, I like the way Rowling thinks. She came up with a creative way for kids and adults to discover the title all on their own.

This came from CNN.com on December 21st. J.K.Rowling has released the title of the final copy of the Harry Potter series. This is an interesting way to discover the title. Just follow the directions below and have a little fun! Enjoy!

If you go to her home pageexternal link, click on the eraser and you will be taken to a room — you’ll see a window, a door and a mirror.

In the mirror, you’ll see a hallway. Click on the farthest doorknob and look for the Christmas tree. Then click on the center of the door next to the mirror and a wreath appears. Then click on the top of the mirror and you’ll see a garland.

Look for a cobweb next to the door. Click on it, and it will disappear. Now, look at the chimes in the window. Click on the second chime to the right, and hold it down. The chime will turn into the key, which opens the door. Click on the wrapped gift behind the door, then click on it again and figure out the title yourself by playing a game of hangman.
