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.

OH MY GOD!!!! I DON'T HAVE MY I.D. ON ME!!! NOOOOOO!! I found it the other day when I was cleaning my room. I need to take the test!! I hope I can scrape an O this time. Last test I scored an EE!!


Posted by RedButt Jun 13th 2007

well, I guess it's safe to assume that that symbol is important now.

For everyone having problems getting the fly to turn into a key...I went to the UK site because all of the Accessibilty sites were not working ( .com; .org; .net) anyway when the fly comes up click and hold it will turn into a key then go to the door and let go of the mouse button. the shapes have to be directly on top of each other (place the line down, then the triangle over it so theres a line thru the triangle, then the circle in the middle of the triangle, the directions above were somewhat confusing.) I hop I helped!


Posted by dumbledoreswoolnsox_22 Jun 13th 2007

Oh I had to make a different I.D. :( Oh well....at least it's opened again!!! It was really hard though, I hope I passed. But, IT'S OPEN, IT'S OPEN, HURRAY, YAY, WOO-HOO, GO JO, GO JO, AWESOME, THIS IS SO COOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! Okay, I'm done.


Posted by ravenclawsheart Jun 13th 2007

i cant get the shapes to work heeeelp


Posted by asleep_at_the_moment Jun 13th 2007

this is so typical. i saw this earlier but i had to go to an exam and ive only just got back so i couldnt be first on the comments. humph


Posted by bees_knees Jun 13th 2007

i am a new fan am i'm so excited but i have a question....how do you get a student ID??? help! i want to take the WOMBAT!


Posted by totalvirgo Jun 13th 2007

Okay, I definantly didn't do good on that. It was hard!


Posted by deatheater777 Jun 13th 2007

that test was so hard!


Posted by Quantummilkshake Jun 13th 2007

I found some of those answers interesting. Like the part that said the sorting hat had been stolen by a group of "delinquent students" in the 14th century or something like that. And the on ethat said occlumency can't guard against possessions. haha i wonder if she purposely put any of those in there for book 7. maybe not those 2, but they were interesting all the same...


Posted by ravenclawsheart Jun 13th 2007

how long does it take to get the results???????????


Posted by Dominogameboy Jun 13th 2007

I had to go to the UK site, but it worked for me. If it doesn't work for anyone else, go to a different version of the site. It's all the same, but it may be in a different language. lol. Oh, and this was really hard. I think I guessed pretty well, but I don't know. I think I got an A, but I'll be soooo happy if I got an E!!!!


Posted by asleep_at_the_moment Jun 13th 2007

for goodness sake. clicking on the fly doesnt do anything. youre right. but holding the click down and dragging the fly key over to the door does work. no you cant take the first and second ones again as they have passed. you missed your chance.


Posted by megahpgeek Jun 13th 2007

i couldn't get the fly to work, but i figured it out. you have to go to the UK version of the site. it worked for me.


Posted by ravenclawsheart Jun 13th 2007

Posted by Slytherin15 Jun 13th 2007

Posted by ravenclawsheart Jun 13th 2007

I misssed the first two and i cant wait until i hear my results i did miserabley on the history but i knew all the dark arts questio0ns......HELP I NEED HELPI WANT THE RESUTS!!! HOPE EVERYONE has fun on the test and i wish everyone a good grade..


Posted by Prefiera_de_Gryfalco Jun 13th 2007

I'm really intrigued by this symbol...we've got a triangle pointing up (male symbol, right?), a circle (female symbol), and a straight line. Quantummilkshake, I likewise was like "the Sorting Hat was stolen?" Horcrux anyone? But then I remembered that JKR said in an interview that the Sorting Hat was not one as it is too loud and in the open or something to that end.


Posted by asavari Jun 13th 2007

wrote the exam!!! :D fingers crossed!! p.s: click on the UK link to be able to access the room. :) Good luck!


Posted by Kid_A Jun 13th 2007

It got only 5 seconds to open the door and enter the test without any help. :D This time it was easy - maybe because Jo did NOT reveal anything about book 7? :P The test was hard, BTW; in some questions, I asked for myself whether these informations even exist in the books, but then I thought that if it hadn't been, Jo wouldn't ask them in a test, isn't it? Hey, take it easy guys! And answer after reading the questions CAREFULLY; I made two questions wrong by not choosing two where the question was asking "Choose TWO of them", and I'll be loosing some points from there. I don't expect a great result, I just want to pass (I've passed from the previous two :D). :)


Posted by aliceinstitches Jun 13th 2007

SORRY I MESSED UP!! for people who need to know how to make a student id..... click on the eraser on the desk.. when the new room appears click on the fly and drag the key to the door... put the circle on top of the line AND THEN THE TRIANGLE ON TOP OF THE CIRCLE/LINE.. then click on the piece of paper.. click open.. click yes.. click no.. then you take the test and they give you your id at the end


Posted by Quantummilkshake Jun 13th 2007

yeah. oh, by the way. the fly didn't work for me either at first. seriously try clicking the "text only" version first. then going back and trying the actual site. no idea why, but it seriously did work for me.


Posted by hepuntedbaxter Jun 13th 2007

If you have Windows Vista, go to jkrowling.NET, as it's the one that will work. Took me forever to figure that out.


Posted by MJLovegood Jun 13th 2007

I missed the Wombats before..how long does it take to get results? What do you think we'll get? Chapter titles.. a passage from the book?


Posted by Doxybiter_DH_ Jun 13th 2007

Just finished it! I found some of the Minister of Magic-questions hard... except for the Fudge one:p


Posted by ravenclawsheart Jun 13th 2007

someone tell me how u get the results


Posted by horcruxjunkie Jun 13th 2007

ZOMG i almost died when i took it! i was like all sweaty and what not!


Posted by 1oftheTrio Jun 13th 2007

ravenclawsheart- Wait a few days, then go to the website and click on the Wombat card at the top of the page, and type in the ID code that you copied from the end of the test


Posted by SpaceyStacey Jun 13th 2007

Just did it. I think I did craptacular lol


Posted by Doxybiter_DH_ Jun 13th 2007

Well, I never considered the possibility of the Sorting Hat possible having been stolen in 1325 having to do anything with a Horcrux... since it was in 1325:) I did find the symbol, the Salazar Slytherin question and the Rowena Ravenclaw question very intriguing!


Posted by ravenclawsheart Jun 13th 2007

please someone please listen to me HOW LONG OR HOW DO U FIND OUT YOUR RESULTS, I AM SHAKING I WANT TO KNOW HOW I DID. Sorry for the Caps though


Posted by ravenclawsheart Jun 13th 2007

thank you 1ofthetrio, but still a few days i am gonna die by then....lol thanks for the info


Posted by caliguy7100 Jun 13th 2007

FOR ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE FLY TO TURN INTO THE KEY, INCLUDING THOSE PEOPLE WITH LAPTOPS, CLEAR OUT YOUR COOKIES AND THEN GO INTO THE UK SITE, THIS IS WHAT WORKED FOR ME, I AM WORKING ON THE TEST RIGHT NOW


Posted by 1oftheTrio Jun 13th 2007

This is awesome! I've been waiting FOREVER to take this test. The first part was pretty tough though. Hopefully I don't get, like, Troll or something. lol. I think I did ok. It was my first Wombat.


Posted by Fawkes_Forever Jun 13th 2007

I can't click the fly!! It's flies off everytime my cursor goes near it. Also the pointer doesn't show up. Can anybody steer me in the right direction? It would be very much appreciated :)


Posted by ravenclawsheart Jun 13th 2007

okay on the uk website there is a vista gadget that u can download but i click download and it wont do it. Can someone tell me what is the problem?? i loved my first WOMBAT


Posted by h_boo Jun 13th 2007

that was difficult....the easiest part was the matching the curse/substance that'll conquer a dark thing...but it was still fun! now i can tell my ACT prep course teacher that i studied twice as hard! :D


Posted by Flitwick Jun 13th 2007

Interesting to note that Fudge started as minister in 1990 - just one year before Harry started Hogwarts. Also interesting to note that JK endorses the fact that the books take place between 1991-1997. Since the days of the week sometimes don't match up with the dates of the year, I thought that maybe she made a mistake when declaring Nearly Headless Nick's death date. But I guess not :-) And this stupid symbol is driving me craaaaaaazy.


Posted by sammidork Jun 13th 2007

D: tried ff, opera, ie..nothing worked for clicking the fly


Posted by auror134008 Jun 13th 2007

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!!! I'M, LEAVING TODAY!!! FOR TWO WEEKS AND I WAS SO NERVOUS THAT THE WOMBAT WOULD COME WHILE I WAS GONE! WOW, CLOSE SHAVE, BUT WHAT LUCK!!!!


Posted by augusteyes Jun 13th 2007

Posted by ravenclawsheart Jun 13th 2007

Posted by Fawkes_Forever Jun 13th 2007

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAA AAASE SOMEBODY HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FLY WON"T WORK ON ANY SITE!


Posted by who_said_so Jun 13th 2007

crap!!! i bluffed my way through the whole test!!! this was shhh tough!!!! :(


Posted by 1oftheTrio Jun 13th 2007

ATTENTION PLEASE: My fellow Harry Potter Fans, if you know anybody who loves Harry Potter as much as we do, be sure to tell them that the wombats are open. I'm sure they'd be crushed if they missed it. I know I was the last 2 times. So help out a friend, and let them know before they miss it too. THANKS :-))))


Posted by ohsomagical_em Jun 13th 2007

yey, i just took it, it was good, some parts were a little tricky though. yey, can't wait for results!!!!!


Posted by sammidork Jun 13th 2007
