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.

fairyqueen: you can see them about a week after the door closes!
The time is not set in stone. The first one took a couple of weeks, if I remember correctly, and the results for the second one came in under a week.
Anyone who hasn't been able to get in yet, delete your cookies (look under your toolbar and go to delete history and click on delete cookies, if you have internet explorer) THEN TRY JOROWLING.COM. This is the thing that worked for me, when nothing else did. Don't use the accesibility enabled version, just click on your language!!! Hope that works for you guys!!!!
CTLR+F5, works just as well... it does the same thing, but you save a few seconds, and 4 whole mouse clicks! *Falls down in amazement*
Yay. I took it. Seemed pretty much like common sense for most of it, and the rest you could figure out from the books. Well, we'll see what happens!
does anyone think that the results and the prize(s) will be posted on the 21st?? Too much of a coincidence for Jo to pass that up with the book only being a month away not to give us a little hint doesn't it??
That was fun. I had to make educated guesses on a lot of the questions, but it made me think. Good thing I'm re-reading the books right now. XD
I did the test without using the books or the net, just for fun! At some questions, I wanted to strangle JK Rowling (even though she is my idol). IT HAS BEEN HALF AN HOUR SINCE I FINISHED MY TEST AND IT STILL IS IN BETWEEN "RESULTS DELIVERED" AND "PAPERBACK MARKING"...HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU?!
HermioneForever: You won't see your results till about a week or two after the door closes...
thats so AWESOME!!!!!!!! i got the fly to open the door and started taking the test, but then i had to leave. yuck.
Very cool, but I'm not taking it today. I just got finished with my real finals and my brain is tired. Good luck, everyone.
how long does it take for this stuff to be graded
alek16: about a week after the door closes!
oh my gosh this is AMAZING! I LOVE JKR! This WOMBAT was SO hard though! I thought the last part wasn't that bad but they first section! wow! *exciting*
Yays, I got it to work! That crappy fly wasn't working for me either, but then I went back to the main page and clicked on the UK version, and it worked fine! Who else thinks they rocked the Dark Arts section? Uh-huh. *smug*
OMG!! it took me forever to get in!!! thank u soooo much 4 all the great hints. i had to get on the uk site 4 it to work. i also thought that u didnt stack the shapes, but but out them next to eachother in that order. i took it and i think i got a T lol but we'll c soon i guess! i'm sooo excited this is my first wombat, 2 bad its the last :(
that was much, much harder than the last two! The first part was impossible, but the last part was fine. I wish we could get the answers to these after they are graded, or after DH comes out, because some of those questions were fascinating.
YAY!!!! im so excited! its my first WOMBAT and i can't wait!!!!! :)
OMG! They had the symbol in there. That symbol!
That was hard in the beginning >.< But the end was easy. I guess it's better to end on an easy note.. it makes me feel smarter.. heh. :T
christianaeg!!!!! i remember you from the last wombat! you and I were part of the "wombat help team" or something like that, with tonksroxmysocks (something like that lol) and other people lol
mariatc: Lol yup!! me and LadyM and Ginny and Hannah and a few others... Just goes to show that i'm way too into this whole thing! :)
lol! yeah me too...im way too into HP...ive kept in touch with tonks and ginny but i never got LadyM or Hannahs mails or usernames in the CoS boards. well, ive just done the test...ive just got home. its not too hard I think...some questions at the start were tricky
If you find that you can't click on the fly, I suggest going to the UK version of the site (on the front page of www.jkrowling.com). That's what I had to do.

mariatc: OOooo what's ginny's email?? I've tried to keep in touch with her but she hasn't replied to me in months! anyhoo i shouldn't be posting this much so i'm gonna stop talking till someone needs help lol!
yeah ok ill shut up too until someone needs help...we cant talk that much in the boards. do you have an account in the CoS boards? so we can talk there :) lol im doing the test again
I took the test, man it was hard, but fun, and all I can say is: FINALLY! after all that waiting, now just give us Deathly Hallows already!
Has anyone noticed the potions on the table? When you put the bottler over the plant, they turn over and a couple of drops start to fall.... has anyone managed to to something with that?
hada24: you can bring the plant back to life with the right combo of red and green potion... the right order's on the extra stuff section of JK's site... and mariatc i'm christianaeg there too, but i email/send owls mostly..
hada24 2: yes, there are lots of things you can do in jk's site to earn access to special goodies like scans of drawings made by jo, scans of past manuscripts...in mugglenet there is a guide of the things you can do, with all the instructions :)
how do you check your score?! and how long does it take to get marked?
Oh man. I am kinda upset... I haven't done a wombat ever before, and yesterday my computer crashed :( so tonight i try to go get on (on my mom's comp) and the fly won't work!!!!?!?! and i am uber upset
to all those that cannot get in, you can try any site but make sure you are using the UK version and not the US one! i sat for almost 15 min trying to figure this out so i hope it helps! also, the test was hard! i definitely got bad marks on history but i think i did good on the dark arts :/
Captain_Sparrow: by the little WOMBAT card on the main page, it'll take about a week after the door closes!
Captain_Sparrow: to check your score, go to Jo's desk, and there is a envelope (red and white) with the word Wombat. Click on it, adn ti will take you to a page wehre they ask your student code. Put it, and it will take you to a page where you can see your results when the test has been marked, and also you can check the state of the marking (in process, etc). it takes around a week after the door closes to get the results back
RavenclawTower: try the .net version of the site! or try cleaning out your cookies...
im on jkrowling.com and i'm in the eraser room but my fly won't change and i already deleted my cookies! and jkrowling.net didn't work for me! what should i do?! i really wanna try the WOMBAT!
I got the key and did the symbol thing, but when i click on the exam to do it, it goes to the loading bit but then it just stops and doesn't do anything.
hmmm, i went to check my grade and the clock says "results delivered", "results in post", and "paper being marked" but the hand seems to be putting at the 12, which is none of these.
lifeacordin2lulu: Are you in the British version of the site? you could try the .org version too..... did that help?
Joshua21890: it might be because so many people are trying to to the WOMBATS... try doing it again in a bit, or cleaning out your cookies and the .net version of the site! jillianty- The clock will change and start to point to various places after the door closes!
Ouch, that was hard. I probably got a T.
sorry for posting again but whats with the potions on the table? if you lift either of them up they tip over the plant and droplets come out. i tried a couple drops of each potion but nothing happened. did anyone find anything?
oh my god! it worked thank you so much christianaeg!!!
oh my god! it worked thank you so much christianaeg!!!
nvm. it worked!! i failed...but it worked. i had to go to the british flag version. but when i did, it worked
jillianty: read one of my and christianaeg's recent posts about the potions in the table. Joshua21890 : after you do the symbol thing...have you clicked the symbol again until it moves upwards to the right? because it is only after doing so that you should click on the test
jillianty- go to the raido on the extras section... the raido will tell you the order/combo of the potions and the plant will look a little more lively when you pour the potions on it! welcome guys :) i like helping other Mugglenetters in a time of need!
god i have no idea what they're talking about on that test. i just pressed random answers xD
