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.

Does anyone know if you had to have done the 1st and 2nd WOMBAT to do this one? Please tell me!


Posted by jillianty Jun 13th 2007

christianaeg2 and mariatc - you are both brillant, thanks a bunch


Posted by xidracoix Jun 13th 2007

How do you become a student on that site?


Posted by christianaeg Jun 13th 2007

7_21_07- Nope! you don't have had to do the other ones to do this one! anyone can do it, you don't even need an email address!


Posted by CFplayer19 Jun 13th 2007

how come whenever there is something like this it never works 4 me!!!! i couldnt take the 1st 2 tests! i couldnt do the title of the book thing! it just never works! the farthest i ever got was the fly turning in2 a key and then the door woudnt open! it gets me sooo mad!


Posted by mariatc Jun 13th 2007

cellopower: lol, but you should try doing it again..after all, its the last wombat :) do it again, and this time use the HP lexicon to help you with the questions you are having trouble with.


Posted by christianaeg Jun 13th 2007

CFplayer19- don't worry! i'll get you into the WOMBATs if it's the last thing i do! first, try the .net or .org versions of the site, it's just the same thing only .net/org. If that doesn't work, try cleaning out your cookies! tell me if this helped! xidracoix- you just have to take the WOMBAT!


Posted by xidracoix Jun 13th 2007

How do you become a student and how do you take WOMBATs?


Posted by amy4dan1327 Jun 13th 2007

yay!!!! i'm so happy i took!!! it's been a while since the last one was out!!!! but yeah, at first i had a really really hard time getting it to work!!! but then i tried the uk text version and it worked, thanks to whoever posted that, it really helped!!!! i can't wait to see the results; i hope i did alright, or at lest passed!!! :)


Posted by mariatc Jun 13th 2007

jillianty: thanks! but we are only trying to help :) xidracoix: ok, first thing, you dont have to become a student to take the wombat. by taking it you become automatically a 'student'. Ok, to take the wombat, first go to Jk rowlings site JKRowling.com. There, enter the site in the language you prefer. Then, click on the eraser. It will take you to a room with a door. Follow the instructions form above from there, and let us now how you get on and if you need more help :)


Posted by christianaeg Jun 13th 2007

xidracoix- there's instructions at the top of the post... if you have trouble try the .net version of the site!


Posted by xidracoix Jun 13th 2007

Gah my fly isn't working either. D:


Posted by dan_harley_5 Jun 13th 2007

when are the results supposed 2 come in??????????????????????? ????????????????????????? ????????????????????????? ????????????????????????? ???


Posted by cedarbluff Jun 13th 2007

i have benn trying all day long, and i still have not figuered it out yet it is makeing me mad


Posted by christianaeg Jun 13th 2007

ok xidracoix! here goes: try the .net version, then the .org if you have to. If those don't work, try cleaning out your cookies! dan_harley_5- about a week after the door closes! mariatc- your on your own for about 13 minutes while i grab a quick shower! sorry! have fun! be back bitwise!


Posted by mariatc Jun 13th 2007

xidracoix: try the .net or .org versions of the site. dan_harley_5: the results come in around a week after the door closes. but that may vary...we dont know exactly, we can only guess from how long it took after the second wombat.


Posted by sondra Jun 13th 2007

REMEMBER TO PRINT OUT YOUR CODE THE RESULTS ARE CASE SENSITIVE THAT IS YOUR STUDENT CODE if it is not right you will not get your results ALSO YOU ONLY HAVE 3 OR 4 DAYS TO TAKE THE TEST . I think I got Troll I got Exceeds Expectations on 1&2 I need a Hogwarts a History for the first part. dark arts was easy.


Posted by NicoleM Jun 13th 2007

Somehow I managed to open it at the first try. And the site worked on AOL for me.... what luck! =)


Posted by mariatc Jun 13th 2007

cedarbluff: ok ill help you :) whats the problem? the door doesn't open?


Posted by xidracoix Jun 13th 2007

This is like, the hardest test everr.


Posted by christianaeg Jun 13th 2007

christianaeg is back after the shortest shower in her life!!


Posted by mariatc Jun 13th 2007

xidracoix: i know, there are some very tough questions. if you want to do it again, i recommend you to use the HP lexicon...it helps you to remember a lot of stuff


Posted by luna_phan Jun 13th 2007

oh my goodness everyone, i just realized, the symbol you have to make to get to the test paper is the same one that is on the spine of DH book. it must be important, i mean, why else would JKR have us make that symbol. i hope u mugglecast guys see this, u have to talk about this more, we must find out what the symbol means! oh my goodness, the suspense, this is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO exciting. we love you JKR!!!!!!!


Posted by FadeIntoColor Jun 13th 2007

I did it :D Go through the UK site entrance on Firefox, it works.


Posted by GrownUpChick Jun 13th 2007

I was having troubling accessing the test, too, but the hints some of you folks gave really helped. I cleaned out my cookies and still couldn't get the fly to turn into a key, so I took the suggestion of clicking on the U. K. version and that worked. Then, I couldn't get the symbol right. I used someone's suggestion of putting the circle about halfway down the line and that worked. I got the first blue sparks but couldn't get the second. I was putting the triangle at the top of the symbol but that wasn't doing it. Finally, I put the triangle so it actually enclosed the symbol made with the circle and the line. That did the trick. I had missed the first two WOMBATs so I really wanted to take this one. I think it was pretty hard and I don't expect to do very well!


Posted by theorderofharry Jun 13th 2007

HARD...but this was my first wombat so yayayayay


Posted by christianaeg Jun 13th 2007

GrownUpChick- Thanks i'll keep that stuff in mind :)


Posted by luna_rox Jun 13th 2007

Hey yeah, about the not being able to click on the fly thing, that happened to me too. I was using firefox, but what you need to do is use internet explorer and don't click the "Accessibility Enabled Version" to enter, just click the british flag on the bottom. Also, when you click the fly, you need to hold down the button. And for the thing about putting shapes on top of each other: you need to kind of try a few times and just re-position the shapes until it sparkles, then you'll know its right, and you'll be able to click the papers. And lastly, does anyone know how i can get the first 2 WOMBATS? I don't want to try the third unless I've done the others first.... thanks!!! :)


Posted by christianaeg Jun 13th 2007

luna_rox- there's no way to do the first 2 anymore....... unfortunate but true! good luck though!!


Posted by luna_phan Jun 13th 2007

the SYMBOL you must make is on the SPINE of the DEATHLY HALLOWS book. IMPORTANT???? OOOOOHHHH YAAAA, but whaT could it mean???


Posted by TheGreenPhoenix Jun 13th 2007

Does anybody know what to do with the green and red bottles on the table by the window? you can pick them up and they drip, but does anybody know what the combination of drops or anything is? maybe 7/21/7? note: it only drips over the plant-like thing. HELP!


Posted by anglophile_bibliophile Jun 13th 2007

I took it! Whew! That was HARD!!!! I have a bad feeling about my score...


Posted by christianaeg Jun 13th 2007

TheGreenPhoenix- the drops help the plant. on the extras section raido, it will tell you the combo/number of drops to put on the plant. after you do it, the plant will look a little more lively!


Posted by luna_rox Jun 13th 2007

ok thanks christianeag!!! thats too bad...i wish i could have. but thanks!


Posted by TheGreenPhoenix Jun 13th 2007

christianaeg- thanks. im doing that now.


Posted by mariatc Jun 13th 2007

sorry everyone i gotta go! maybe ill come back later, and definetly tomorrow. talk to you soon christianaeg have fun!


Posted by christianaeg Jun 13th 2007

ok mariatc i have to go soon too! it's getting late here... i'll make a long general post about what to do before turning in though!


Posted by TheGreenPhoenix Jun 13th 2007

christianaeg- it just occurred to me that I have no speakers. Do you know that combination offhand? No need for you to go and listen, just wondering.


Posted by Ginny_Guerra Jun 13th 2007

Yay! I managed to enter without any help! 'twas quite easy, but anyway I'm soooo proud of myself! Let's hope I get a decent grade.


Posted by Joshua21890 Jun 13th 2007

christianaeg: Thanks, i got it working now, i tried the .net version and that did the trick.


Posted by christianaeg Jun 13th 2007

I have to hit the hay now so here's a general guide to getting into the WOMBATs: 1) Make sure you did everything right 2) try the .net version of the site, or the .org! 3) clean out your cookies 4) Don't use the accessibility enabled version of the site, it doesn't work. Use the British version. hope this helped! i'll be back tomorrow to help people! but if you want, send me an email( my username at mugglenet.com) or contact me in some way, like the forums!


Posted by dan_harley_5 Jun 13th 2007

thanx to christianaeg and mariatc


Posted by HPluver46 Jun 13th 2007

How do u know when u get the results?? Someone PLEASE tell me when we will get our results... I want to know if I passed because i'm a little worried, and I'm just excited and I wanted to know...


Posted by Illusions Jun 13th 2007

DON'T GO TO THE ACCESSIBILITY ENABLED VERSION, I went there and that's why I had problems with the fly at first. Go to the English one instead.


Posted by Holly_Potter Jun 13th 2007

def avoid accessibility enabled version...you can't interact with it very well :( I have a bad feeling about my score...I'm probably getting a troll. A bad thing for a Hermione-like person like me. An 'acceptable' would be fine, though I got EE on the last two :)


Posted by dean_thomas1027 Jun 13th 2007

how do you take the last 2 of you can? I also think that test was hard and ill probably get a Poor or maybe an Acceptable.


Posted by elphieweasley1 Jun 13th 2007

I just took it! This one was hard. . . I think I barely scraped a pass (if that!) On the first two I got Outstanding though. . .


Posted by anvilsized Jun 13th 2007

I think that this test had more HP trivia-esque questions. Like with Fudge. And the last question. Most of those were things you'd have to know from the book. The first two WOMBATs didnt really have any questions where you'd need to know book facts.


Posted by andrewshomette Jun 13th 2007

ahhh. so i missed the first two tests completely. so i just now took this one. hope i did good. lol.


Posted by dan_harley_5 Jun 13th 2007

I missed the 1st 2, but, with what ive heard from my friend, i agree with anvilsized

Rita looked as though she would have liked nothing better than to seize the paper umbrella sticking out of Hermione's drink and thrust it up her nose.
