This is a wonderful time-waster. You have to find out things by trial and error and intelligent guesswork in order to get 'extra content'.

Also, Harry Potter is 'Wizard of the Month' in the calendar on the top right (Oct 2007). In the mini-biography in the calendar, Harry's biography is updated to this year.

I've got through three of the puzzles, but I still haven't worked out the words you have to re-arrange to make a sentence.

NB: The radio's gardening questions programme tells you how to feed the plant with the potion bottles; it used to work, but the plant seems to have now recovered to full health, at least on my computer.

Cool link Eledhwen. Lot's of interesting things to be found in there. I even got the plant to grow...:cool:

Cool link Eledhwen. Lot's of interesting things to be found in there. I even got the plant to grow...:cool:Now I'll give you a clue to the hunt:

Pick up the hairbrush portkey. Once you've arrived, pick up the rubber balanced at the bottom of the noticeboard and rub out the torn piece of blank paper.

The pen and the other piece of paper are also significant; but I don't want to make it too easy.

I notice the reference to Harry as Wizard of the Month on the calendar, has disappeared and been replaced (maybe just for today) by "Happy Birthday Filius Flitwick". October's Wizard of the month reads: October 1, 2007 - Harry Potter (1980 - ). The Boy Who Lived, only known survivor of the Avada Kedavra curse and conqueror of Lord Voldemort, also known as Tom Riddle. Harry Potter joined the reshuffled Auror Department under Kingsley Shacklebolt at age 17, rising to become Head of said department in 2007.

PS: Wherever this website stores changes I've made to it, it isn't in cookies. My extra content has remained accessible, and the plant continues to flourish.

Indeed it is! I've visited there a number of times. I wonder what's going to happen to it after the last movie has become a faded memory. Will kids return to re-read Harry's adventures the way we do with Tolkien? Or will their memories be more of Daniel Radcliff running around naked murdering horses?

By the way, does anyone watch CBS' Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson the mad Scotsman? He does a killingly funny version of Rowling. And just last night Ian McKellen did a guest spot, because he's performing in Shakespeare and Checkov plays at UCLA's Royce Hall. He came out doing an imitation of Riverdance, and wearing bright red shoes, an orange t-shirt with two Halloween skulls on it and a suit jacket. :p
