Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Excerpt Revealed
When it rains, it definitely storms in JKRowling's world. Fans have yet to recover from the mind-boggling revelations during the Edinburgh International Book Festival, and today, we've find out that the infamous door in
her website opened again to reveal an excerpt from Half-Blood Prince. Of course, fans have to work hard to get to the excerpt. Fortunately,
The Leaky Cauldron has posted instructions on how to get to it, and I've copied them down and enhanced them below:
- Click on the black ponytail on the main page.
- Click on the door handle. The door opens to a black room.
- There is a lightswitch you must click around for. A helpful fan has posted this image to help others find the lightswitch.
- A dartboard appears. Use each of the three darts to hit 7, then 1, then 3 (713 is the number of a significant Gringott's vault. Do you remember what it is? Heheheh.)
- A safe appears. The code there is 302723. This code was revealed in the website's Extra Stuff page. You just have to wait for Peeves to reveal a calling card on the corkboard for Gobb Lynn Security Services. The company's phone number is the safe's security code. Here's a screencap I took of the calling card. If the image appears too small, I suggest right clicking on the link, saving the image, and opening it using MS Paint. =)
- The safe will open. Click on the paper, wait for it to unroll, and read the excerpt!
For those too lazy to do all that, here's a screencap of the excerpt. If the image appears too small, I suggest right clicking on the link, saving the image, and opening it using MS Paint. =)
