WOMBAT part 3 now up!
WOMBAT part 3 now up! JKRowling.com has been updated with the third part of the WOMBATs (Wizards' Ordinary Magic and Basic Aptitude Tests)! Click on the eraser on Jo's desk to get to the door whose "Do Not Disturb" sign has now been removed.

According to the site, "The Grade 3 WOMBAT is the final examination, and the most difficult. Not only is the subject matter much more advanced, but the examination is also more stringently marked. Certain answers will LOSE YOU MARKS, so choose carefully..."

We recommend you try to figure out how to open the door on your own, but for instructions, click here.
1. Click on the fly (on the window). It turns into a key.
2. Drag this to the keyhole.
3. Stack the shapes on top of each other: Triangle on line, circle on triangle.
4. Click this shape, then click the exam paper to begin.

If you're having problems opening the door, try clearing your cache/cookies (see your browser's Internet options), or access the site at jkrowling.net or jorowling.com.

Can anyone tell me how I can get a student ID?


Posted by dean_thomas1027 Jun 14th 2007

ElStudente17: You have to open the door and take the test. then after the test they give you a student ID so you can check your scores later.

Posted by Ayapchii Jun 14th 2007

Darn it! I've wanted to check this out for ages and now, guess what?! I'm clicking and clicking the fly and he doesn't transform into a key! :( HELP ME plz !! 10x~


Posted by Ayapchii Jun 14th 2007

Posted by lafillemagique Jun 14th 2007

i actually figured this one out on my own! ha!


Posted by loony4luna Jun 14th 2007

Try the UK site, for the fly. It worked for me there.


Posted by Ayapchii Jun 14th 2007

oh wow! 10x!


Posted by loony4luna Jun 14th 2007

In that W.O.M.B.A.T. room, is everyone's hand of the clock just pointing up?


Posted by Ayapchii Jun 14th 2007

arrrrgh! I manged to transform the fly into a key in the UK site version. But now I can't stack the shapes properly. the circle keeps stacking under the triangle instead of on top of it. help plzzzz !


Posted by loony4luna Jun 14th 2007

The circle is supposed to do that. I think you have to stack them in that order, though.


Posted by yviem Jun 14th 2007

Ayapchii you place the line inside the triangle and the circle inside it again you don't make a key with the symbols


Posted by Julie666 Jun 14th 2007

Posted by owlfactory Jun 14th 2007

Have just done it! Is really hard but really funny lol. Brilliant that its a history paper lol. Think there might be some clues for Deathly Hallows in there or is it just me?


Posted by acerunner Jun 14th 2007

SOS! On the Text Only Version of he site there isn't a ? link to click, what did ya'll do??


Posted by Six_shot_wand Jun 14th 2007

acerunner - you cant do the test on the text version, you must enter one of the flag links on her opening page christhewitch - did you try going into the UK flag on her opening page, if so what browser are you using?


Posted by Six_shot_wand Jun 14th 2007

Julie666 I think you might be getting screwed because of the amount of hits her website is getting because of this test my recommendations are keep trying, it took me about ten times yesterday just for it to work. That to might be alot of peoples problems. Hope that helps


Posted by bareloto Jun 14th 2007

it's sad her office is empty and clean now.. no more harry to write.. :-( no more messy office... boahha


Posted by luvshedwig Jun 14th 2007

That was a hard exam, bet I get a "troll" on that history part!


Posted by amethystalchemist Jun 14th 2007

Anyone know if there is a set time period for the test to be up on the site? I got into take the test, but am thinking I shouldn't take it yet.


Posted by devilqueen Jun 14th 2007

Posted by muggleprefect Jun 14th 2007

argh...ive tried at least 20 times now to try and turn the fly into a key...but they fly jsut sits there. nothing happens when i click on it. :(


Posted by Malloth Jun 14th 2007

If clicking the bug doesn't work, try going to the UK version of Rowling's pages www.jkrowling.co.uk.. Worked for me :D


Posted by muggleprefect Jun 14th 2007

oh thnx! i did the uk thing and it worked.. thnx ! :D yay i sure hope i did well...


Posted by angelgoddess_1 Jun 14th 2007

Ok, so I did the WOMBAT test and got my code, but it just takes me to a screen with a clock that says "results delivered." What do I do now???


Posted by hokieggg04 Jun 14th 2007

For those who can't get the fly to turn to the key...I had the same problem I went out and started from JK's first page and instead of what i normally do I went into the site using the flags at the bottom. The whole thing changed for me when I did that and the Key worked!


Posted by Hermoine13 Jun 14th 2007

Mine wont work at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!


Posted by HedwigRocks Jun 14th 2007

What's with the red & Green bottles in the UK site? I can't figure out what they do. It seems like they just drip on the plant. Has anyone gotten a different reaction?


Posted by hokieggg04 Jun 14th 2007

You mean on the english language site? Those bottles didn't do anything for me. It is all about the fly.


Posted by koolgriff Jun 14th 2007

that bug is bugging me!!!!! y isnt it turning into the key


Posted by The_Fat_Lady Jun 14th 2007

Anybody curious about what the triangle,line,circle symbol stands for? I think the triangle's three corners/lines may represent the trio, the circle for unity/working together, and the line as possibly harry, the chosen one. Thoughts? It must have some significance as it is on the UK cover art AND in Jo's website for the test!!


Posted by sirius_black411 Jun 14th 2007

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE CONFUSED ON THE PUZZLE. when they say stacked they dont mean that the symbol is supposed to look like a one legged woman (circle as the head, the triangle body/dress, and then line as a leg) they mean that they lay on each other like you lay in a bed...the line goes through the center of the triangle and the circle touches both sides of the triangle... get it?


Posted by james1994 Jun 14th 2007

Hi all if you r having trouble with the puzzel dont stack them on to of each other make it like a pyrimid straight first then put triangle on straight and then put the circle in the shape hope i helped


Posted by Katealano17 Jun 14th 2007

that was the last one! :( maybe she'll make a different type of quiz? i wonder what will be behind that door the next time it opens... anyway, it's said "submitting your answers" forever!


Posted by koolgriff Jun 14th 2007

got the keyyyy!!!!and even the puzzle!!!!!!!but after clickin on the paper everything just turns dark..........nothing happening!!!!!!!! what am i supposed to do?????????????


Posted by wackyweasley Jun 14th 2007

What is the symbol????? Is it |0^ |^0 ^0| ^|0 0^| 0|^ Those are all the combonations


Posted by Sophie Jun 14th 2007

I got the test and entered my IDC and but it won't stop checking my code... any ideas?


Posted by wackyweasley Jun 14th 2007

I need help!!


Posted by christianaeg Jun 14th 2007

wackyweasley- what help do ya need?


Posted by wackyweasley Jun 14th 2007

I need to know the symbol and what it looks like


Posted by christianaeg Jun 14th 2007

wackyweasley- ok. put the little circle at the bass of the rod so the rod goes though the circle. It will sparkle when you get it right. then pick up the rod/circle and put it in the middle of the triangle so the circle is in the middle of the triangle!


Posted by sondra Jun 14th 2007

WACKYWEASLEY PUT THE SYMBOLS ON TOP OF EACH OTHER 1^O IN THAT ORDER. AFTER CLICKIN ON THE SYMBOL CLICK IT AGAIN THEN IT WILL MOVE THEN CLICK ON THE PAPER AND THE TEST WILL OPEN.


Posted by wackyweasley Jun 14th 2007

Thank You Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!


Posted by christianaeg Jun 14th 2007

Sophie- I'm looking around and it looks like everyone's having a little trouble, everyone's reception's a little slow. I don't know if there's any way to fix it though, because it's a problem with the site itself


Posted by order_hermione_ron Jun 14th 2007

Yessssssssssss.


Posted by christianaeg Jun 14th 2007

Hm... not too good.... *WARNING LOL! JK's site is running very slowly when you submit your answers! it looks like it's happening to everyone... If you haven't taken the WOMBATs yet and you're about to, TRY later!!!** i'm looking around and some people have been waiting as long as an hour.....
