Locked Door (Room of Requirement)

Accessed from the front page via the pink Eraser to the right of the Rumours magazine, the Locked Door that has the DO NOT DISTURB sign on it has been speculated about ever since the site first changed into its new format on May 15, 2004. Furthering the rabid speculation about what the Door was hiding was the fact that someone had been able to look into the unprotected directory that houses the Macromedia files, find a file, and expose what was in it. But sadly the only thing that was found was a load of meaningless filler text (Lorem Ipsum) commonly used in the printing industry as a place-holder. See Lipsum for more on Lorem Ipsum.

Hopes were initially dashed, but the door has since opened for real. And Jo has said that returning occasionally to the Do Not Disturb door will reveal hints about the upcoming books.

Wizard of the Month

On October 31, 2007, all the previous Wizards of the Month were made available again.




Happy Birthday

At around midnight (London time), whenever a new birthday is announced it appears in the Wizard of the Month calendar (on the Macromedia site) and on the Birthday page on the text version of the site. This only lasts for 24 hours and then goes to the next birthday or back to the wizard of the month. Be aware that once the day is over, the Birthday page disappears completely. Neville's birthday was the first to appear on her site, which is why the birthdays "start" on July 30.
