We want to put together a list of "new canon information" for LumosDissendium.org, so people have it all in one easily accessable & researchable place.

Can those of you who've found out nifty things on JKR's new site (and I don't mean things that she discarded like the original bit about the Sorcerer's Stone) post them here, or direct me to your LJs if you've posted them there?

There will be a credit list on the bottom of everyone who's contributed, but without specifically stating which person submitted which bit.

Thanks in advance!

ETA: Obviously, there are spoilers in the comments. RAYOR.

ETA #2: The LExicon will be mirroring Lumos's collection - we're saving Steve a little elbow grease ;)

Well, you have info about the Weasley's and Molly's background here. And she gives Dean Thomas' background info here. Both of those (especially Dean's, imo) are very interesting. She also mentions somewhere in the site that Sirius has grey eyes (*loves*) but I don't have that direct link. :)

Molly's maiden name is Prewett. Ginny's full name is Ginevra Molly Weasley. Sirius Black has grey eyes. Nott Sr is a widower. Arthur has two brothers. Fred and George are born on April 1st.

Here's the link to the quote concerning Theodore Nott's background.
-raised by his widower father, who's a Death Eater (the same Not that appears in OotP)
-pureblood
-a clever loner

Here's the link where it's said that Sirius's eyes are grey:

If you go to the extras board and rub over the blank piece of paper with the rubber, then a plan comes up.
You get the leaves from the extras board, the potion from the links bookshelf, the spider from JKR's desk and the feather from the Fan Site's cabinet.
God knows what you do with them after that. Still working on it.

On the links page, if you click on the book with the ? on it on the links page, you will find a key behind it, if you then drag the key to the lockable box next to the bookshelf, the box will open and give you a present.

If you go to the Fan Site's page and move the medallions with the ? on them into their boxes, they will give you a present.

Um. Not sure about anything else. There's still an empty medallion box at the top of the Fansite's page, but no extra medallion on that page to fill it. Don't know what to do with the phone either. Hmmm. *is curious* I hope some other people find some other stuff.

My God. You're brilliant! I clicked all over Salazar's green earth and found none of this...am clearly limited when it comes to finding out the special things. Thanks ever so for sharing!

On the phone, dial the # you use to get into the Ministry of Magic (62442).

There was this thing that I did that made the hands of the watch spin madly and tip the cup with the pen over...I'll get back to you as to how it's done. But the watch is definitely something ^_^

Copy of a page from one of the early drafts of the book (http://www.jkrowling.com/scrapbook/8_typed_halloween.cfm for a direct link).

it automatically popped up for me once i got the last item -- it's a manually typed snippet of the original chapter ten of PS.

Thanks, but I got the typing, the duel picture and the sorting hat all on my own. I didn't get the written page yet. :(

[webbapettigrew.livejournal.com]

I found the "different plot line" idea page. It's in long hand and very hard to read, but as I type this, I'm "translating" it as it were, should anyone be interested.

[soccerblondie61.livejournal.com]

I got the one with the feather, spider, potion and leaves but it just kind of appeared after I got the potion so I don't know what to say.

[freya]

Tis ok. Evidently I got the wrong end of the stick. I thought that you had to find a cauldron. I was finding this difficult.
However, I did get the present which just appeared when you click on the last one. :D

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about it. I'll have a transcription up in the next few hours...
It's in my inbox; I just have to upload it.

[webbapettigrew.livejournal.com]

Well, crap. I just finished it. Oh well!

[gail-b.livejournal.com]

Can anybody give me a satisfactory answer to why I can only get into the "Text Only" version of this site? Wah! I want to play around with all the fun extras!

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Email it to me. I said I'd give credit for effort, and I will - I'll use yours to make sure the other one is 'correct'.

The only thing I saw tipping the cup with the pens over, was if you left the desk alone for an extended amount of time - a breeze (or Peeves) would knock it over.

[tv-elf.livejournal.com]

But, but how do you open the door in the pony tail band room?

[cliz.livejournal.com]

and what's the point of the little light switch next to the cell phone?

[angelofthenorth.livejournal.com]

read the website again in the evening. It comes in useful...

[wishwords.livejournal.com]

Thank you for all this. I can only see the text only version of the site and was dying to find out what all was there.

[airemay.livejournal.com]

Do you have a pop up blocker? I had to turn mine off before I could get into the site.

If the main page is left alone for a while the phone will ring. Answer it by clicking on the phone button and a voice says "hello? is anyone there?" etc. for a few seconds. Sounds like J.K.'s voice (?).

wow, you're lucky - all I can view is the site in text-only format. *sigh*. My computer obviously doesn't have the right level of software.

[wahlee-98.livejournal.com]

I've made screencaps (http://www.livejournal.com/users/wahlee_98/) off all the 4 Easter Egg extras, if you're interested.

[siyahsaclikiz.livejournal.com]

Maybe you don't have Macromedia Flash player - I think you need that in order to see the fun stuff.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

It won't let me see it. What is it?

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Should I link right to them? It might be a bandwith overload - we could mirror them and give you credit on the index page, if that's ok.

[gail-b.livejournal.com]

I tried both the Pop-Up idea and intstalling Macromedia Flash Player. No luck.

Dang.

Thanks for the advice, though.

[wahlee-98.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't think my bro would like having his server inundated with HP fans. ;) Go ahead and mirror them. :D

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

:D and thanks!
