J.K. Rowling's Official Site v.11

Darn darn darn darn darn. I have to go out and run some errands and can't open the door or do the WOMBAT until a few hours from now. :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :grumble:

Aw, don't fret CBW! The last Wombat was up for at least 4 days. :D At least you can study the questions ahead of time for Grade 2 (FAQ link in my sig has them). ;)

just took the wombat! Some of the questions i had to really think about. This was my first time to take the test, last time I was on vacation w/ my family and couldn't get to a computer. it sucked b/c by the time i got back, the door had closed again. : (

As Nicole said, I highly doubt the door will close so soon. This was my first time but I know Jo isn't so mean :lol:

I have a question. Did anyone actually take the full 30min you get on the wombat?

Did anyone actually take the full 30min you get on the wombat?Yes, I was furiously copying the questions and answer options so I could post them here on CoS. :D

No, I only took 10 minutes. I'm never patient with exams :lol:

Yes, I was furiously copying the questions and answer options so I could post them here on CoS. :D

lol, well i suppose someone has to :p

No, I only took 10 minutes. I'm never patient with exams :lol:

It took me like 12minutes. I know I should go over the answers but I figure if I don't do it in real life exams, why do it in an online one? :D

I thought it was really hard--a lot harder than Grade 1. Hope I passed.

I thought it was really hard--a lot harder than Grade 1. Hope I passed.

I think that's because there wasn't much canon to support any of the answers, it was just deductive reasoning :(

Oh, I only revised the "choose 3" question. I changed my answers for that one a lot.

I think that's because there wasn't much canon to support any of the answers, it was just deductive reasoning :(

Exactly. We've never been given details about hags and how are we supposed to know Muggle Studies percentages? :huh: Those questions went over the top of my head.

In addition to that, some were opinionated.

A question for mods: Should we discuss the W.O.M.B.A.T. in the other thread instead of this one?

A question for mods: Should we discuss the W.O.M.B.A.T. in the other thread instead of this one?It's okay to do both, though all the questions are posted on page 1 in the "other" thread. ;)

It's okay to do both, though all the questions are posted on page 1 in the "other" thread. ;)

Ya, I was under the impression that the other thread was more for discussing the questions in particular, not for discussing the overall test

Thanks for clarifying that :)

So just to make sure the only updates we had besides the W.O.M.B.A.T. test includes:
Diary entry
Rumors section
2 News stories

Right? Hope I'm not missing anything because in the excitement of the door opening, I almost ignored the main page :scared:

Aw I didn't believe in that theory so didn't really bother me but her answer did give me a laugh. A simple No does the trick :lol:

I wonder who came up with the "Stubby Boardman" is "R.A.B." rumor.

:lol: I heard about that last night at the live leakymug and I started cracking up. And then when she shot it down today I'm all thinking, "Jo must have been in disguise at the leakymug!"lol

Yes, I was furiously copying the questions and answer options so I could post them here on CoS. :D
And for your efforts, Nicole, we are more than greatful!

I had about 15 minutes left when I finished mine. I kept going back and forth on some questions. I couldn't decide and every time I thought about a part in the books that pertained to the question, I second-guessed myself.

That was a tricky way for Ms. Rowling to make us open the test. A little frustrating, I must say. :grumble: :D

I could never get the key in the right place!

I wonder who came up with the "Stubby Boardman" is "R.A.B." rumor.That's been floating around for quite some time. There was mention of Stubby = Regulus on CoS as far back as 9 July 2003: archived thread Stubby Boardman (http://www.cosforums.com/cosarchive/showthread.php?p=437039&highlight=regulus#post437039).

Hmmm, we seem to have lost the more recent thread to the last pruning round, though. Oh, well, would have been a dead thread with this information anyway! :elaugh:

Well as shameless as I am, I didn't even try to solve the "puzzle" behind the door. I came to CoS and saw this thread had over 5 pages in 1 day so I immediately deduced there was a new update. While going through the pages, I came across a spoiler tag and obviously copied it. :rotfl:

I'm kidding about the shameless part. I know many people had trouble with it like me and I've always been bad at those trick games.

Still, we got an update didn't we? I was hoping for an update in Halloween but this was early :D

EDIT: Thanks for that link again, Nicole :) That's a pretty old theory!

I can't get past step 5, I click on it and nothing happens other than green sparks. Any suggestions?

You're sure you've done everything else in the right order?

You're sure you've done everything else in the right order?

Yeap, it sparkles but doesn't turn into what it should.

Hmm...I just went back to the site and tried it again and it worked - candle, quill, W.O.M.B.A.T. book, clover

For some reason I can't take the test. The clover doesnt turn into a key...

Are you using Mozilla as your browser? I was and the same thing was happening to me. I switched browsers and now it changes to a key but I can't get it to open the drawer.

I'm currently using AOL through my residential hall's network. University computers use Mozilla, though...

First refresh the page and then repeat these directions exactly!

Click on the candle to light it.
Click on the dark red quill.
Click on the WOMBAT paper.
Click on the clover at the bottom left of the desk. It will turn into a key.
Drag this key to the desk drawer - the top of the key must touch the drawer.
The drawer will open, revealing the WOMBAT part two exam.
Click the hourglass on the desk.
Now the exam will be revealed

:) Hope that helps

...now it changes to a key but I can't get it to open the drawer.

That took me a while too...Mugglenet has a picture of where your key should be in order to open the drawer.

I couldn't do the first test, but got to do this one...probably pretty badly...but does anyone know how to get the results? Are they only available when the door has closed again?

does anyone know how to get the results? Are they only available when the door has closed again?Last time I think it took about 3 weeks to get the results once the door had closed. :) I'm sure there will not be any way to get results while the door remains open. ;)

I couldn't do the first test, but got to do this one...probably pretty badly...but does anyone know how to get the results? Are they only available when the door has closed again?

Yeah, as I understand it, after a few days you need to check back in with your student code and if they're done you'll get the results. Better solution is just wait and watch when this thread increases by 2 pages every 1 hour :rotfl: That will tell you results are being given.

I'm currently using AOL through my residential hall's network. University computers use Mozilla, though...

I don't know for sure that it was the browser but switching computers helped. Can you switch your browser to see if it makes a difference?

I still can't get the key in the right spot! Even with the screen shot.

Yeah, once the W.O.M.B.A.T. card appears again on the desk you'll be able to submit your code. the results should be delivered a few days after

I still can't get the key in the right spot! Even with the screen shot.
Once you have the key in the right spot, let go of it. It won't go in if you're still clicking on it.

I opened up Internet Explorer, and the clover finally switched into a key. Very interesting test.

:lol: Thanks guys! Will do!!!

Can someone help me? I have no idea what to do to take the test. I am at the opening page with the newsparer and rumors and diary ect. Can someone give me step by step instructions from there please.

Ok, well I've tried the key like 30 times and I just cant' get it in the right place. I have a headache so maybe I'm not concentrating well. I hope the door is still opened tomorrow so I can try again.

Thanks to those of you who tried to help me get the key.

First click on the eraser, then:
. Click the door handle to open the door.
2. Click on the candle to light it.
3. Click on the dark red quill.
4. Click on the WOMBAT paper.
5. Click on the clover at the bottom left of the desk. It will turn into a key.
6. Drag this key to the desk drawer - the top of the key must touch the drawer

You will then be able to click on the test and take it

I hope you have more luck tomorrow Ronni_SL!

Woah, sorry for the multiple posts! it kept saying error, so i just tried again, and again! Guess it did post after all!

On the main page click on the pink eraser at the top. Just roll the mouse over it and you'll know which one I'm talking about. Then you'll be transported to another room. If the door doesn't have a "Do NOT disturb" sign on it then click on the handle and follow these once the door opens:

Click on the candle to light it.
Click on the dark red quill.
Click on the WOMBAT paper.
Click on the clover at the bottom left of the desk. It will turn into a key.

The drawer will open, revealing the WOMBAT part two exam.

If there is a 'Do not disturb' sign on the door then let me know :)

All I can say is THANK YOU, JO!!!!!!
Another update. That makes two this month. Aren't we just drooling on our Qwerty boards!
The challenge was tough. I knew there was a pattern, but couldn't figure it out. After 20 mins of clicking everything in many combos, I finally cheated. I never tried the candle first because everytime you click on the candle and something else, the candle would shut off. Now the problem is that I don't have 25 more minutes to take the whole test and I need to dig up my original Wombat number. I hope the test remains for a few days and I can take it over the weekend. I think the last one was up for at least that long.
Good luck everyone.

For anyone who wants to try this themselves don't read further.

Quill, wombat, clover. Now I am just having trouble getting the wombat out of the drawer. By the way, I love what Jo said about googling horcrux and finding no results and then trying it again and finding over 400,00. That must feel so rewarding.

To get it out of the drawer, just click the hourglass. Not the WOMBAT itself

Just to let everyone know, you can find everything they're saying on Mugglenet.com :p

And I agree with that last statement. It made me so happy to know how surprised she was.

I wish she would have googled "harry potter" before she wrote it and checked how many results there were:p Something tells me they'red be a lot more now:lol::lol::lol:

And FYI: The directions can be found in JK Rowling's Official Website FAQs (http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=90143) along with all the questions and answer options.

OOOOOOH yeah!! :p

Results 1 - 10 of about 79,800,000 for harry potter.

Whoa:wow:

I wish she would have googled "harry potter" before she wrote it and checked how many results there were:p Something tells me they'red be a lot more now:lol::lol::lol:

Definitely. If she had tried it, should would have gotten results that included the names separately like one would be about some guy called "Harry Adams" while another would be something like "Dr. Potter" :lol:

Oh yeah, MuggleNet doesn't have a place where you analyze the questions. That's because we're so cool :cool: or atleast the staff members are :rotfl:

I can't believe HP is one of the banned books. It makes me sad.

I thought it was funny because she's right in saying that a lot of the books that are now regarded as classics or must-reads or "critique's of modern day society", were at one time banned books. I say, good for her! :lol:

D'you think it's possible that Jo might have drawn attention to a smaller rumor, to mislead us from a real title we're getting close to....i.e. Secret of Godric?

D'you think it's possible that Jo might have drawn attention to a smaller rumor, to mislead us from a real title we're getting close to....i.e. Secret of Godric?

Hmm... quite possible. Jo is very tactful that way. I dunno about the Secret of Godric though. that could be the right idea, but it doesn't sound like a title she would write to me.

woman's intuition, you know

Not nessasarily that, it was just an example. That does seem like something she would do. But that would mean that she goes on forums....*gasp* she could be here right now! Hi Jo!!!:D :D :D

I keep one in my room

But back to the title. (I don't think this topic is supposed to be in this forum...shhh)
I do like the Godric idea...(I'm rambling about possibilities in my head, but none of them make enough sense to right down at the moment)

Did anyone else think that the way to get into the WOMBAT was a bit er...easy? It just seeemed that last time you had to listen to the radio and stuff and this time you just had to click some fairly easy to figure out things on her desk.

i wouldn't know. I didnt take the first WOMBAT. (My infinite knowledge and wisdom of HP sites was not quite so infinate at the time)

ahhh!!!

im just really hoping something gets released when we get the results
not sure how that would work

No but it could mean something very important:

1. It's just wishing us luck
2. It has some clue behind it.
3. She wants to confuse us and boggle our gullible minds :lol:

Or

4. It's a red herring designed to throw us off the scent.

We'll be so busy trying to figure out what "luck" has to do with book 7, we won't figure out what's really going to happen. :lol:

ahhh!!!

im just really hoping something gets released when we get the results

Last time she just randomly posted the results, I have a feeling it'll be the same this time...

Hmm...I dunno. All I do know is that i'm goin to bed

goodnight all

The door isn't opening for me!! So frustrating!!!!

I can get up to the key, but when I click on it, it turns into a pencil. What's up with that?

I can get up to the key, but when I click on it, it turns into a pencil. What's up with that?

No, it's still a key. Place the end so that its just touching the drawer, right above the keyhole, and let go. (Go to Mugglenet for a diagram)

I really am going to bed now. I promise.

Yay I got in, but I had to use accessibility enabled version as the normal version I used wouldn't let me open the door!!

Harry Potter and the Secret of Godric? I don't think so...lol then it would be HSOG! I just start seeing images of a soggy book, :lol:

That's wierd, I got in with no problem, what browser are you using?

Internet Explorer, I even cleaned out my temporary internet files and it wouldn't work, so I'm glad it worked the other way.
The normal way had those green and red bottles you could water the plant with but the accessibility one had no bottles and a daffodil in a pot.

This was the third update this month. I hope this will go further.

If you're having problems getting the key in the right place use accessability enabled - it does it for you

The reason for this is that you need to have the scrapbook entry by doing the watering with the bottles first.

I clicked on the eggshell in the rubbish binwhat is it supposed to do?
And The message at the bottom won't do anything either.

Or

4. It's a red herring designed to throw us off the scent.

Or it's linked with the horcruxes in that basically anything could be a container. In Voldemort's case of course they mean something to him, but a horseshoe could mean something to someone.

And I too loved the way she simply said "no" to: "Was Snape under the invisibility cloak" - absolutely no way for us to dig deeper and wonder what she actually meant!

The eggshell is part of a potion, whether the one from the Extra`s Section or this in the Rubbish I can`t remember.
For the message: Try to move the scraps, you get a hint.

Easy except I can't get the key in the right place still!! I wonder if it's something with my mouse?! :grumble: I can't even get it to open with the screenshot from Mugglenet.

I struggled to get the key in this morning when I decided to have another go at the WOMBAT. You have to get it in exactly the right position or it won't work.

What's the possibility that we'll be on version 12 by or just after results are given out? ;)

I struggled to get the key in this morning when I decided to have another go at the WOMBAT. You have to get it in exactly the right position or it won't work.

Yeah, I'm going to try again this afternoon and see if I can get it. I hope it's still opened. I don't have time now to try again.

I think she'll leave it open for at least another day or so.

I must be doing something wrong, I have tried that key about 40 times now and that's going back to the screen shot each time while refreshing the page.

I finally got in, everyone!

Yay! Thanks to everyone who helped.

I used www.jkrowling.org. That one worked for me. I cleared my cache out like, 3 times, and did this and that, and FINALLY got in and took the wonderfully horribly uneasily harder WOMBAT 2.

Eek! :D

I must be doing something wrong, I have tried that key about 40 times now and that's going back to the screen shot each time while refreshing the page.

Are you taking the portkey next to the plant?

I have tried that key about 40 times nowSounds like the number of attempts I had to make at drawing the lightning bolt on the Extras page some months back...frustrating! Look carefully at the handle on the drawer. You can see the spot for the keyhole if you look very closely (just below the handle portion). Try to put the very end of the key on that keyhole spot.

Does anyone remember how long it took last time to get the results? Not that I have much hope, but yet...

And I think it's sad that we didn't get the correct answers last time. Maybe she puts all the correct answer to all the WOMBATS after the last one?

I thought it took about 3 weeks to get the results, guad. Will double check, though. :)

Nope, that's how long it took us to whine about when we might get the Grade 2 exam.

For WOMBAT Grade 1:
Door opened on Friday 31 March (it was afternoon EST, so early evening GMT?)
Door closed Tuesday 4 April (not sure what time of day this occurred, maybe midnight GMT?)
WOMBAT id card showed up on Jo's keyboard Wednesday 5 April (may have coincided with door closure)
Test results available Friday 7 April (approximately a few minutes before midnight GMT)

So it didn't take all that long to get the results! :clap:

I thought it took about 3 weeks to get the results, guad. Will double check, though. :)

No, it didn't take that long! Not more than a week, I think. But this time, it'll take more time as she's used the words 'near future'.

How many of you used your old IDs??? I did! And after the test, I got the same one back. The results are going to be interesting as the 'Ministry will evaluate the proformance'.

I wanted to make sure that I "graduate" Hogwarts, just in case she puts up 7 tests for seven years of Hogwarts.

well even if she doenst release anything at the end of all this, i think somethings coming soon
3 updates in one month
its like a gift from god

just in case she puts up 7 tests for seven years of Hogwarts. Seems to be tests related to Muggle Studies which doesn't start until 3rd year, so max of 5 maybe. :evil: But really, 6 months between tests won't give us enough time to do even 3 more Wombats before Book 7 gets released next summer. ;)

Anybody manage to understand the newspaper ?
I thought that this is a hint to tell us the book is finished.....

wow that for me, was a great deal easier, or I possibly did really bad.

I must be doing something wrong, I have tried that key about 40 times now and that's going back to the screen shot each time while refreshing the page.

Try the Accessibility Enabled Version. There you have to click at the key only, and the page does the other for you!

I have a question. Did anyone actually take the full 30min you get on the wombat?
Only about 10 minutes, but now I regret not taking the time to screencap it.

Took the Seamus approach and randomly clicked at them. I'm 99.9% sure I got a T on it.

Or

4. It's a red herring designed to throw us off the scent.

We'll be so busy trying to figure out what "luck" has to do with book 7, we won't figure out what's really going to happen. :lol:
:lol: Yes that one too. Or:

Jo is suggesting Harry will use Felix [all those luck charms] in his N.E.W.T.S [we took the W.O.M.B.A.T.] to pass because he wasn't prepared. [like we weren't]

Hehe you know, I'm joking. Makes me wonder, why N.E.W.T.S. isn't a compulsary thing for 7th years. Fred and George didn't take it and we could assume the trio won't either.

As for using my old I.D., as most of the active posters on this thread must know, I never took the old test since I'm a late bloomer. By 'late' I mean very late, to be precise about 8 months methinks. :(

I wouldn't bet on that, since none of the questions actually had a "correct" canon answer. There were a few options that were obviously wrong, but there was still an awful lot of guesswork!

Ahem. I just tried out and realized that you can make the WOMBAT as often as you want on the same compi - and I'm sure I have my cookies on (the site realizes my trophies). How comes?

Jo's site doesn't use cookies (or at least not only cookies). Your scrapbook stuff is stored in your Flash files, which are separate, and don't get deleted when you clear cookies and temp internet files.

The easter eggs are in your computer on the flash files bit - they're not in temporary internet files etc. so you can delete cookies without affecting them. I cheated by not entering my id the first time around

eta beaten to it

I used my old ID card. I wanted to make sure that I "graduate" Hogwarts, just in case she puts up 7 tests for seven years of Hogwarts.

Oh, I so wish I'd managed to save my ID. People are talking about having to complete all the tests to graduate - what if I can't? Oh well, I'm sure there are other people like me... maybe Jo won't do it that way :scared:


Ahem. I just tried out and realized that you can make the WOMBAT as often as you want on the same compi - and I'm sure I have my cookies on (the site realizes my trophies). How comes?

Is anyone going to take it again and keep all the different IDs? You could see which one did best and use that. I don't think I will, though. Stand by my first attempt :)

I don't think she'll do this as there are people who won't be able to do all the tests.

Yeah I totally agree with you because there are many people who have taken the test for the first time so what about them. :huh:

Is anyone going to take it again and keep all the different IDs? You could see which one did best and use that. I don't think I will, though. Stand by my first attempt

:agree: Yup that would be cheating.

You know if you cheat and get another ID you might not see both certificates on the page as the first one is under the old ID number.:lol:

Not to brag or anything, but I have never cheated in these past years and I don't want to break that chain. :p I take these tests not to show off my high scores but just for my own satisfaction and progress.

Cheers!

So are you okay with taking the test again?

Thank you anabel and Mundungus Fletc. I learn every day a new thing about my compi. I will take my first result (actually didn't make the second WOMBAT, just saw that it is possible and wondered about it). I actually wonder, if it would help me yet to make another quiz. :lol: I'm still not sure about some of the questions.

Not to mention that if everyone would cheat; it would only take a lot longer for Jo to go over all the exams and therefor it will be longer until she can actually finish the book!

Good point! Although, does Jo hand-grade the test or are they marked by a computer program or something?

Better be a computer program for I can't wait for the result. :D

I don't think JK would have the time to mark every result!

It's obviously a computer program because it would take too long to be graded by hand. There are probably thousands of people taking the test.

Thanks for all the help everyone. I did finally get in.

Just FYI for anyone else having trouble, I was actually using the accessibility enabled version and it still wasn't working for me.

I switched from the .com site to the .org site and it worked right away, first try. So strange how the different extentions make a difference.

Or it's linked with the horcruxes in that basically anything could be a container. In Voldemort's case of course they mean something to him, but a horseshoe could mean something to someone.

And I too loved the way she simply said "no" to: "Was Snape under the invisibility cloak" - absolutely no way for us to dig deeper and wonder what she actually meant!

That was great. Just "no". Short and sweet. :D

:lol: Yes that one too. Or:

Jo is suggesting Harry will use Felix [all those luck charms] in his N.E.W.T.S [we took the W.O.M.B.A.T.] to pass because he wasn't prepared. [like we weren't]

Hehe you know, I'm joking. Makes me wonder, why N.E.W.T.S. isn't a compulsary thing for 7th years. Fred and George didn't take it and we could assume the trio won't either.

I think it depends on what career you choose. Some careers require NEWTs - like being an auror or any job working for the Ministry.

I used my old ID as well. I wanted to have both certificates on the wall. :)

I wonder if the WOMBAT will be mentioned in book 7?

I thought it took about 3 weeks to get the results, guad. Will double check, though.

Nope, that's how long it took us to whine about when we might get the Grade 2 exam.

For WOMBAT Grade 1:
Door opened on Friday 31 March (it was afternoon EST, so early evening GMT?)
Door closed Tuesday 4 April (not sure what time of day this occurred, maybe midnight GMT?)
WOMBAT id card showed up on Jo's keyboard Wednesday 5 April (may have coincided with door closure)
Test results available Friday 7 April (approximately a few minutes before midnight GMT)

So it didn't take all that long to get the results Thanks :D

I have such a bad feeling though...thankfully the thing that we will get will also be here or in mugglenet, so I won't miss anything if I got Poor or Troll.

That was great. Just "no". Short and sweet. :D

I think NEWTS are compulsory. Fred and George ditched school, so they oubviously wouldn't, and the trio has much more important things to worry aboiut. Also, in HBP, everyone is in NEWT classes.

Oh, I so wish I'd managed to save my ID. People are talking about having to complete all the tests to graduate - what if I can't? Oh well, I'm sure there are other people like me... maybe Jo won't do it that way :scared:

I don't think she will. If she does, it isn't fair on the people who couldn't do the first one. If they're all seperate, it's equally rewarding for everyone
(or maybe this is just wishful thinking, considering I didn't know about the first one until afterwards...)
Multiple times is cheating. Definitely. Cheating is baaaaaaaad.
(looking at the questions on CoS before taking the test is bad as well...I swear that was accidental!)

I don't really think this has anything to do with graudating. I think they're just fun things for Jo to make us do so we don't storm her house/castle while waiting for the 7th book


:grumble:

Thank you anabel and Mundungus Fletc. I learn every day a new thing about my compi.
You're welcome. It was Dung who told me in the first place, so really he should get all the credit!I don't really think this has anything to do with graudating. I think they're just fun things for Jo to make us do so we don't storm her house/castle while waiting for the 7th bookNah, I'm still planning an assault on Jo's castle if we don't get a title or a release date soon!

I think NEWTS are compulsory. Fred and George ditched school, so they oubviously wouldn't, and the trio has much more important things to worry aboiut. Also, in HBP, everyone is in NEWT classes.

Fred and George didn't need NEWTs because they were opening their own business. And that was pointed out in the book. They didn't just quit school. They were prepared - had built up a customer base and even acquired premises for their shop.

From what has been shown in the books, the majority of the careers require NEWTs - particularly those careers that involve working for the Ministry. In fact, it was mentioned in POA that you need top level NEWTs to get any job within the Ministry.

Not all careers would require NEWTs, but it would seem that the majority of them do.

I don't really think this has anything to do with graudating. I think they're just fun things for Jo to make us do so we don't storm her house/castle while waiting for the 7th book

I agree. Jo said that anything she reveals at this point would be a spoiler so I don't think she's going to be giving us little tidbits like she did with HBP. Although, I wonder if there might be some clues within the WOMBAT tests themselves - both tests seemed to have a lot of questions about the Ministry. Maybe a shakeup is in the works?

Yes well there are others that do that, like Fortescue from the ice cream parlour

Yes well there are others that do that, like Fortescue from the ice cream parlour

Is there canon that Fortescue didnt take NEWTS?

No I don't think so but I thought that some of the shopkeepers of Diagon Alley may not have done(Sorry for confusion).

Is there canon that Fortescue didnt take NEWTS?
No, none at all.

No I don't think so but I thought that some of the shopkeepers of Diagon Alley may not have done(Sorry for confusion).

s'ok. I just think that if you finish your Hogwarts career, you take the NEWTS, whether or not you'll need them. Like OWLS. oubviously an ice cream vender wouldnt need OWLS, but you sit them anyway. Sorry if I'm making no sense:shrug:

How do you take the test, I can't figure out how to take the test, I got thourgh the door, but don't know what to do next.

I agree that it would seem the WOMBAT questions themselves are potential clues. They are so narrow towards the Ministry and "instances of trouble" and overall knowledge of how to handle yourself in the wizarding world. It's like a preparation for what Harry can face "in the real world" because as Umbridge pointed out, school is school and not the real world.

I agree that it would seem the WOMBAT questions themselves are potential clues.

I agree too. I was thinking that as I was taking the test, wondering how each thing may related to book 7.

How do you take the test, I can't figure out how to take the test, I got thourgh the door, but don't know what to do next.

if you have a look on mugglenet they can tell you how. :drool:

I am soooo happy she updated! I probably did bad. I do hope I did better than my sister because if she gets a better grade than me, I'll be jealous.:D

:D I am so glad I got to take the test this time around!!! So glad I didn't miss it! The questions were tough, though... But fun and challenging!

All the updates are so cool.

She put a few rumors to rest didn't she.:eyebrows:

I love the new Wizard of the month! Finally a lovely one! :lol: She kind of reminds me of Dame Edna, her look I mean. :lol:

Wow that was tough. Even with all the help from this site to finally figure out how to get in the door what with all the little intricacies of the computer and the key and whatnot the test was not easy. I almost gave up before I realized you had to turn over the hourglass to start the test, lol. It's little things like that can make all the difference. I never took the first one so this was fun and new.

I know, it took me forever to get the key in the drawer, even with the drawing on MN

I can't get into the website :sad:

I can't get into the website :sad:
Oh why? Have you tried following the instructions on Mugglenet?

I actually liked this test better than the last one. I dunno, but the questions didn't seem to be as "black n white" as the last test... can't wait for the results hehee. :) Though this time, I really don't know what to expect.

Oh why? Have you tried following the instructions on Mugglenet?
i can't even get on to jkr's website. after that works, I'm sure I'll be able to take the test

Have you tried all the variants - .com, .co.uk, .org etc.

I hadn't tried the .co.uk version, and it looks like it works. Thanks!
edit: extraordinarily slow though
edit2: I took it! Very difficult in my opinion

What do people think of the new fan site. It's nice of JK to think of other loyal countries?

You mean the translations? It's nice, but it always takes a few days before the site is translated in other languages. :grumble: Hehe... I'm kidding. It#s ok, that it takes it's time, it's just annoying that I usually miss an update before I read it here, because I'm most the time lurk on the german site.

The WOMBAT was on all sites tough. :D

What do people think of the new fan site. It's nice of JK to think of other loyal countries?
Do you mean the one Jo gave the fansite award too or the translations of her own site?
Anyway, I think it's great that she's recognizing and awarding people from non-English speaking countries, who put a lot of work in a fansites.

As for the translations of Jo's site, I've only once checked them out just for the sake of curiosity and I think it's nice that she and Lightmaker put in the effort of making the site and the material available to children/people who don't speak English and come from these countries. As for myself, I'm Icelandic and obviously there isn't an Icelandic translation of her site so I always go to the English one...And enjoy it very, very, very much! :D

Does anyone think that the date of the death of the new wizard of the month has any significance? I can't remember what year Harry was born, but this new wizard's date of death(1985) seems to suggest to me that perhaps it was Voldemort related?? Would make sense, don't the Pure Blood fanatics look down on Squibs?

For the WOMBAT test, it said that my results have been delivered, but I can't find any way to actually find my results! Anyone have a clue?

For the last WOMBAT you weren't able to get your results until after the door closed again. Make sure you write down your student code and you'll be able to look up your results when that happens.

The door is closed, I typed my student code into the WOMBAT page, and I'm looking at a clock that points to "RESULTS DELIVERED." But that's it. I can't find the results that have apparently been delivered. Is there supposed to be something else that I missed?

Thanks you very much for helping my confusion!

Glad you enjoy the english one. You must speak very good english.

The door is still open in my computer...?

Yes mine too.

I need help! I followed the instructions and opened the door, lit the candle, put the quill in the ink, but when I clicked on the clover that is supposed to turn into a key all that happens is the candle goes out and the quill comes out of the ink... what am I doing wrong!! please dont tell me its too late!!

Harry was born in 1980, therefore Voldemorts downfall was 1981. The new wizard of the month died during Harrys presence at the Dursleys, while Voldemort was hidden in Albania. He was less than a ghost, therefore I doubt that he was involved. The new wizard of the month was very old at that time and I think she died a natural death.

Ahh, oh well, all I could remember is that he was born in the 80s. Thanks for the date Annett. She probably did die a natural death then. Pretty amazing though that someone that started a society for squibs wasn't attacked though...

The door is still open, it may be closed on your computer but it's still open in that other people can still get in and take the test. You have to wait a few days until the door is closed and nobody can take the test anymore.

Did you write down your student code so you can check them in a couple days?

I'm curious as to whether the word magnet riddle below the rubbish bin leads to anything? I've been playing around with it and keep getting hung up on one or two words. Has anyone else tried it?

if you have a look on mugglenet they can tell you how. :drool:

I did, and I still can't find the link.

I've looked around but haven't found a direct answer to my question, which makes me think it isn't possible, but I am wondering if there is anyway to recover my WOMBAT ID number?

During my move out of the dorms, I lost my ID code I printed (the card) as well as my certificate. Does anyone know if it is possible (I'm hoping it is, since we had to register our email addresses with it).

Thanks in advance.

Could you be a little more clear?

I just did the Wombat - that was fun!! I thought this one was a lot easier than the 1st Wombat test. What did you all think?? Of course, a lot of the questions were based on deduction, so who knows if I got those right! Anyways, I bet she has a scoring system where you get so many points for chosing certain answers, and then at the end your points are added up... but I dunno.

Ok, and who else is completely surprised that Snape wasn't under the cloak the night Harry's parents were killed??!!?! I TOTALLY throught that was it! Oh well... guess that's been debunked. =)

Did you print your certificate and still have it? Then you can find your Code in the right corner at the bottom of your certificate.

When do we get the results of the WOMBAT test? This was my first time taking it, so I'm new at this. Thanks in advance!

Was just at the site, and the WOMBAT card on the keyboard is gone...

Which means the door should be closing soon. If you haven't taken the test, better do it quick.

When do we get the results of the WOMBAT test? This was my first time taking it, so I'm new at this. Thanks in advance!

The door closed for the first WOMBAT on Thuesday, and the results came at the end of the same week (Friday or Saturday). So you haven`t to wait long!

When do we get the results of the WOMBAT test? This was my first time taking it, so I'm new at this. Thanks in advance!Last time, the door was open from March 31 til April 4. On April 6, the WOMBAT card appeared on the keyboard...and it was April 10 {I believe} when we got our Owls, telling us our grade.

If this test follows that guideline, we should have our results by Oct. 10.

Came to think of it: if Jo is still inventing a word for a new concept, that'd mean she is far from the end of Book 7! She still has plenty to write. Oh, I love it! :love:

Not necessarily. About changing the names of persons she talked sometimes, that during the writing she used a name, but not feeling good with it. As she find a better, she changed it. With writing computer programs it is easy to change all at once.

If you've lost it, then I'm afraid it's gone. We were warned to take good care of it. Bad luck! But you can get a new code for this WOMBAT. You just can't get the old one back. I copied and pasted mine and saved it to my livejournal and my computer, since I haven't got a printer. I screencapped the certificate and saved that too.

Was just at the site, and the WOMBAT card on the keyboard is gone... For me (at .org, .net, .com and .co.uk) the card disappeared the day the Do Not Disturb sign went missing (ie, Friday 29 September).

I checked back through the JKR thread for that time and results were delivered/accessed only a week after the exam appeared--April 7.

Results will not be available until after the Do Not Disturb sign reappears on the door, so it has nothing to do with the door being "closed" when attempting to check for a Grade 2 score. (For those who were inquiring about that.)

For me, the WOMBAT card is still there, even with the "Do not disturb sign" missing and the WOMBAT 2 open. And when I click on the card, it shows "Results Delivered", and I can still see a certificate saying WOMBAT 1.

I thought it was a cookie problem at first, but I've deleted all my cookies and it's still there. I tried on all versions - .org, .com, .net, .co.uk as well.:shrug:

Well it won't work because all those stuff are stored in Flash Files therefore clearing the cookies won't do.

The new wizard of the month was very old at that time and I think she died a natural death.

Yes she was 113.

Odd, to start a Society when so few members of the wizarding community are Squibs. :p

I can't manage to even get in to take the WOMBAT. Every other part of her site is accessable, but the room of requirement never completely loads and I cannot get in! Is it just because there are so many people taking it?

the room of requirement never completely loads and I cannot get in! Is it just because there are so many people taking it? Good possibility that it's at least part of the problem. I took the exam and the last page never finished loading (so I didn't get a code for that one). Have you tried accessing the site from another url? There is a list in the bottom link of my sig. :)

Try hitting the refresh button a couple times and then try to get in.
