One of the amazing things about the world of Harry Potter is that no matter how many times you read the books or surf the web for HP related content, there’s always something new to discover. My HP “discovery” of the week is J.K. Rowling’s website, and although it is neither new nor obscure, it is well worth checking out if, like me, you’ve never found your way there before.<\/p>\n
Rowling’s website is unique in that it isn’t just a tool for spitting out a montage of boring facts and dates, but in true “Dumbledorean” fashion, is a multi-layered puzzle that must be worked through and solved to access the whole of its content. Of course, most of the site is very straight-forward, but the puzzles unlock extra features, usually in the form of copies of handwritten early drafts and drawings from the HP series, which are fascinating to look at.<\/p>\n
If the task of solving a series of puzzles sounds daunting, but you would like to see the extra content, this<\/a> forum is extremely helpful. It has instructions for solving each of the puzzles. \u00c2\u00a0Another fun aspect of the site,\u00c2\u00a0which also includes a series of puzzles (via Time Turner),\u00c2\u00a0is the Room of Requirement. Helpful information for solving this series of puzzles can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
