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.

I just took the test and it worked fine for me. For those who might not understand when you move your curser over the fly it will not change into a hand. It will appear as if it is not a clickable item. Just click on it anyway and hold down the left click and the fly will turn into a key. I hope that helps.

THE STUPID ACSESABILITY ENABLED LINK 4 jkrowling.com WOULD NOT WORK!!! >:( then i tried the UK section, like some of u sugested, it worked. this was the hardest test i have ever taken. thanks to all of u. by the way, how come the clock after you sign in doesnt move?????? dan_harley_5, out


Posted by fadnin2beautlite Jun 13th 2007

I took it and didn't remember I wanted to change an answer until I completely closed it just great....oh well. I'll get what I deserve.


Posted by elsarocks12 Jun 13th 2007

okay...i barely even cared about the test. (well that's a lie, i totally enjoyed it). but she is just taunting me with that symbol now...


Posted by Katealano17 Jun 13th 2007

its the triangle circle line symbol that's on the spine of the UK children's edition!!!


Posted by ktlzbth Jun 13th 2007

Did everyone notice that the symbol you have to make to take the test is the same one that is on the children's edition of DH? I guess its not just a random symbol after all...


Posted by chelslovesHP Jun 13th 2007

How do you do the first two WOMBAT tests..i did the third one, but i want to do the first two to see how I would do.


Posted by yellowhippo Jun 13th 2007

it won't let me! :(


Posted by BellatrixPotterandMyself Jun 13th 2007

How long to WOMBAT's stay up for?


Posted by hpintwense06 Jun 13th 2007

wow! it's that triangle thing again! cool! this symbol is definately a big part of book 7, now that Jo has even used it on her own site! Anyways, I think that that the test wasn't so bad. I just hope that I did well! I think that the questions where you had to pick if something was true or false were put there so we could find some more information that we might not hear about ever in Deathly Hallows, so she deliberitly put it on the test. very interesting....


Posted by AvadaCurse Jun 13th 2007

Holy Sh-nike-s that was a tough test.!!


Posted by Myspaceobsesser Jun 13th 2007

I just finished taking the test! =D The first part was hard but the last part was easy when you had to find the cure for curses and potions.


Posted by xylophonefairy Jun 13th 2007

I can't find my flipping sudent ID code. I did the first two on it, so I'd like to keep the same code. I wrote it down AND I typed it into Word and saved it somewhere... But I can't find it! I'm stressed already and I haven't even got to the door yet...


Posted by mkbrocato Jun 13th 2007

Is everyone who's having trouble using a laptop? I am, and I've notice that a lot of people with laptops are having trouble. It happened with the title too, and I was on my old laptop, so I don't think it's Vista being stupid again. I'm going to try pulling out my wireless mouse and seeing if that works.


Posted by magicgirl_rulz_4eva Jun 13th 2007

HEY! IF THE FLY DOESNT TURN INTO A KEY THEN THATS BECAUSE YOUR ON THE ACCESSIBLE VERSION OF THE SITE. FOR ME, IT ONLY WORKS WHEN I CLICK ON THE BRITISH VERSION BELOW. CHOOSE YOUR COUNTRY. {DID THAT MAKE SENSE?} HOPE I WAS OF SOME HELP xx ~magicgirl~ P:S: I just took the test. It was very hard. I think I only got a P this time.


Posted by Chai Jun 13th 2007

at last! i thought i missed out on the last exam! this made my day. =)


Posted by xylophonefairy Jun 13th 2007

Should anybody be nervous for me, I found my code. XD


Posted by mweasley721 Jun 13th 2007

Yaaay! Months of waiting finally paid off! =D That first part was crazy - I ended up having to use more general historical knowledge of time periods and events and stuff... *shrugs* Better than just blindly guessing, haha! :) Yeesh, I'm going to be on edge until I get the results!!


Posted by mkbrocato Jun 13th 2007

If you're using a laptop and you have a wireless mouse for it, that's what worked for me. I couldn't click on the fly using the pad on my laptop.


Posted by kayla311 Jun 13th 2007

I finally got to take a wombat!!! Wooo, that was so awesome! Even though I probably got a T. =D


Posted by sarahbike Jun 13th 2007

I couldn't get the fly to change to a key in the US version so I tried some other languages and it changed. I obviously could not read the writing so I went to the UK site and took the test. When you click on the eraser to enter the page, if the red and green bottles are still there the fly will change, but if they are not there it will not change. The test was hard, the Dark Arts was easy though.


Posted by mweasley721 Jun 13th 2007

By the way, LOVING this little Vista gadget from JKRowling.com. xD


Posted by 1oftheTrio Jun 13th 2007

What's the vista gadget???


Posted by christianaeg Jun 13th 2007

hello! christianaeg is here to help if you can't get to the WOMBATs! Lol after my post on the 1st page Mugglenet put up my tips on getting to the door! LOL....


Posted by Ginnycb92 Jun 13th 2007

Apparently a lot of people have had trouble getting the fly to "activate" or for the clicky hand symbol to come up. I had that too, so what i did was i held down ctrl, as i do when i have a popup blocked and want to bypass the popup blocker. I'd try holdind down ctrl...tell me if it works!


Posted by ChocolateEyedWitch Jun 13th 2007

FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING TROUBLE GO TO THE U.K. SITE IT WORKS THERE!!!!


Posted by honeydukes0209 Jun 13th 2007

before taking the test, it asks you if you have an ID, just say NO, after you take the test, it'll give you a new one! hope this helps! :)


Posted by 0928334 Jun 13th 2007

ok i put my student ID in the Wombat card thing on her desk, and then it went to a screen that has a clock on it with the 3 sections of "paper being marked" , "results in post", and "results delivered" but it hasn't moved at all since i clicked enter. is there something specific i have to do? or do i just have to wait? thanks a million!!!


Posted by heartnut Jun 13th 2007

Oh, this was GREAT fun. I think I did pretty well, but I had to look one of them up because I got confused between the books and the movies. I was correct, but I wasn't sure at the time. I feel like a cheater, but I did have the correct answer at first guess.


Posted by KandV Jun 13th 2007

If you still can't get it to work, enable pop-ups. No idea why, but that worked for me (in firefox).


Posted by christianaeg Jun 13th 2007

0928334: you can't get to the resluts yet.... you'll get them a few days after the door closes! the clock will change when the door closes too!


Posted by 0928334 Jun 13th 2007

heh this was my first time actually doing it, sooo i was a tad bit confused. thanks so much!! =)


Posted by snapelover Jun 13th 2007

Dudes and dudetts, when you go in, click a langauge button instead of the acessabilty thingie. That's what i had to do.


Posted by docronnie Jun 13th 2007

HEY MATES HOW HAV U FARED??


Posted by Wotcher_Evs Jun 13th 2007

Just finished! Hope I did alright... I gotta say all the questions about the Ministers were really confusing... Minus Fudge's of course. We all know what He's famous for being : a great prude.


Posted by harrypotterwiz101 Jun 13th 2007

the sign on the spine of the book is important!!!!!!!!!! This is SO mugglecast worthy! The test was pretty hard! 'bout the same as last time and on the the last one I got EE, hope I get the same or better for this one
