HBP excerpt *spoiler*

[jarvan49]

JK Rowling posted a excerpt on her website from HBP.

Here's how to get to it:
http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/MTarc ... 04980.html

-Go to the door
-The door opens to a black room.
-There is a lightswitch you must click around for, about 1/3 of the way across from the left side of the door, starting from just under the door handle.
-A dartboard appears. Use each of the three darts to hit 7, then 1, then 3 (713, the # of Harry's Gringotts vault).
-A security save appears. The code there is 302723.
-The excerpt appears. Enjoy!


and here's what it says:

"He looked rather like a old lion. There were streaks of grey in his mane of tawny hair and his bushy eyebrows; he had keen yellowish eyes behind a pair of wire-rimmed spectacles and a certain rangy, loping grace even though he walked with a slight limp. "

[I edited the title - for those who want to get to the description themselves - Broccoli]

Is that supposed to be a desciription of the HBP or what. It sounds like a JKR description (meaning its her style) but its total jibberish to me without more info that kinda makes me mad it makes me even more anxious for the whole book.

If you're having trouble with the dark room, keep clicking. I had trouble earlier also.

I know what you mean! But could it be Godric Gryffindor?

Cool!!

"He looked rather like a old lion. There were streaks of grey in his mane of tawny hair and his bushy eyebrows; he had keen yellowish eyes behind a pair of wire-rimmed spectacles and a certain rangy, loping grace even though he walked with a slight limp. "

I think he´s the new dada teacher!!!

[Broccoli]

Does anybody have ideas what the code means?

[Lone_Buck]

Could also be the new minister.
DADA
I don't know, snapes brother.

[jarvan49]

Harrylover, you could be right. I didnt think of that.

Thanks Broccoli.

As for the code. I'm not sure. The Leaky Caludron weren't sure of what it meant either.

[harrylover]

Ok I thought a bit about the code and came to this:

The code is 302723.

3+0=3
2+7=9
2+3=5

The release date of book six. September 3rd 2005

What do you think?? Could be possible.

[Lone_Buck]

I hope that's not true, i can't wait that long.

[harrylover]

Yeah, that´s more than a year. I don´t know if that´s true of course.

[jarvan49]

I doubt that it will take that long to release the book. I mean she has released an exceprt and a title within the last month or so. She must know that if the book doesnt come out soon, her fans will eventually start to get mad at her. She does keep saying that the story is all in her head, well if that is the case, then why not put it ou to the fans.

I think the book'll be out (or we'll get a release date) towards the end of this year or early next year.

[Deedra Malfoy]

lol about Snape's brother, Untouchable.

No, I can't find when to go in to get to the dark room. help?

[jarvan49]

No, I can't find when to go in to get to the dark room. help?

ok, so when you go on JK's website, click the black hair band to get to the closed door. click on the handle and you'll see a dark room. from the left side (about where the door handle is) go about 1/3 way across and about an inch down and start clicking around. the lights should turn on. its always harder the first time. good luck!
