Do Not Disturb Sign Gone on J.K. Rowling.com

JKRowling.com's mysterious "Do Not Disturb" Sign is gone - revealing a third WOMBAT test underneath. This is the FINAL WOMBAT, and more difficult than the rest; also, certain answers are sure to "LOSE YOU MARKS," the test warns (in all those caps, too). It is on Magical History, the bodies and laws of the International Wizarding Community, Magical Theory and Dark Magic. It will take 35 minutes to take.
If you would like directions on how to get into the room, read below.

Wait until the fly lands on the window; click him. He turns into a key. Drag him to the door and open, and see the desk. On the desk, put the circle on top of the line; it should sparkle. Then put the triangle on top (essentially creating the symbol on the spine of the British edition cover of DH). It should also sparkle. Then take your test!

LittleMe This is the first time I figured my way into the door without peeking in the comments at Leaky (and last opportunity to do so)! I loved all the clues. JK is so clever. Anyone think the often-referred-to goblin rebellion will finally be signifigant in the story?

mollywobbles23 I can't take it now! I'm about to go have lunch with my best friend! I can't wait to take it! OMG!!! I've been waiting for this for a while. I knew we'd be getting one of these soon: either that or chapter titles. Yaaaaay!!!

Fumblelaw That was an unprecedentedly revealing test from JK there.. In particular I liked the question on Goblin Rebellions and the Ministers for Magic. So Egypt is home to the centre for Alchemical studies is it.... intriguing....

Accio_HP7 I am so excited. This is the first time I´ve taken the WOMBAT. The questions were really hard, IMO. Most of my answers (at least in the History of Magic section) were guesswork. I just hope I don´t come out dreadful. If I fail, I will do it royally, I wanna come out 'Troll'. :) I was a bit disappointed about the door-opening thing. It was much too easy, IMO. It was much more sophisticated in December when we were given the title.

jersey POP POP Guess it's official. In the muggle world i have a IQ of 154. In the wizarding world I guess I have a lot to learn. Bring on the books JK. I need them bad. No really the only part I did do good in was like Harry. Dark ARTS in which I excel in and History in which I am am less than a troll. BE YOURSELF and BE HAPPY about it

Mrs. Lovegood This is the first one where I've really wanted to know some of the answers, I mean, are some Patronuses weaker than others, and all that history stuff and the Goblins, and the legends that turned out to be true. I can't even remember them all. I took notes as I went along. The world's largest centre for Alchemical Studies, that's bound to be important. But is it in Egypt? Or France? Where did Flamel live? Is there an inter-country ban on Apparition and portkeys and do you have to get permission to send owls overseas? I want to know! I hope she tells us. I decided there were witches and wizards in every country but not schools everywhere. I think some smaller countries who have the same language might share a school. What Faris "Spout-Hole" Spavin the minister they all protested when he was named? That's going to bother me all day! Leaky, your article should say you're allowed 35 min. for the test. It took me probably around 25, and that was with taking notes. I could have finished quicker if I had just answered the questions and not decided I wanted to refer to them later for reference (I can just see me, sitting and reading the Deathly Hallows and I see the name of one of the goblins (their names are all a muddle in my mind, I forget them as soon as I see them unless I have them written someplace to refer to) and I would wonder whether it was one of those mentioned on the Wombat. So, now I'll be able to know for sure, maybe it will help me gain some insight. I thought this was the best of the 3 test. Very interesting, I can't wait to get my score, but more, I really want to know the right answers. Do I sound like Hermione at all?

jersey POP POP NikC Click and hold the fly and carry it to the door

Accio_HP7 Just a question. Is it possible to take the test multiple times? Because when I re-entered the site for fun and went to the WOMBAT it started with the questions all over again. I just clicked I had no student identification. So, could I take the test again, if I wanted to?

Squibby Accio_HP7, yes, but don't forget to take the code after you are done. You will find out, how good were all your attempts. Just copy and paste.

The Prince I took the examination. It was as hard as the others; with some questions you think how are you supposed to answer these having not attended Hogwarts. But I suppose if you thought hard you would guess correctly. I wonder if within the exam context there were hintings for the plot of 'Deathly Hallows'(37 days).

BabyMandrake *****SPOILER*** Lawrd, that seemed much shorter than the other ones. I had no idea what the antidote to Draught... was. Anyone else? -B

Fionnuala Eek! I was just excalimign aloud that I was expecting the last one on the Solstice when I logged onto Leaky and saw this. Maybe we'll get the results, or the rewards for our results then?

Brooke I hope she gives us all the answers after this is over! I really want to know whether animals can be transfigured into humans. I'm guessing not!

Melle I can never get the fun features on the site to work. The "portkeys" work and get me to the other sections of the site, but when I click on the fly nothing happens, and I can't seem to drag it either. HELP! Is this a computer issue, or something with the site? Any suggestions?

Meghan I can't click the fly either... how very SAD!! Suggestions?
