The Do Not Disturb Sign is down, but I can't seem to open the door. What am I missing?

Edited to add:

I just completed the test. is there any way to take the first 2?

When/How do you see your results??? I did really well on the last 15 questions, but everything before that were head-scratchers....

I'm sure a lot of you have already seen it, but it's cute if you watch the Soprano's.

Oh well. It told me to console myself with the fact that there were lots of Trolls.

POSSIBLE SPOILER?????????
Guys, this post contains information related to something I saw on TV today that referenced Harry Potter and my speculation on it. Don't read anymore if you don't want to ruin your reading experience by accident.

I caught the Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest on ESPN this afternoon, and there was a Harry Potter reference. One of the contestants, Tim Janus or Eater X when introduced, turned around a posterboard he was holding to display the words "[name of one of the Big 3] Dies" on it directly to the camera. His entry on Wiki says this about it:

Quote:

In the 2007 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Championship, he held up a sign giving away the ending to the as yet, unreleased Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. On the other side, the sign read, "On the seventh day God created Hartford".

Perhaps the impending release of the final installment has my sarcasm and joke meter a little sensitive, but is there a possibility that this is anything more than just a lame joke? I mean, theoretically the books have been already printed, as reported by a news report displayed on MuggleNet. His wiki says that he's a day trader, but is there a chance someone he knows in a bookstore or the printing industry could have tipped him off? The whole Snape kills Dumbledore thing arose only 2 days before the HBP came out back in 2005, so while that was more at the 11th hour, its not like this leaking of major plot points is unprecedented.

I guess I'm just pissed that watching such a benign piece of crap TV might have ruined the book for me.

I decided to take my kids to the 11:59 PM showing of the Order of the Pheonix on July 10th. We are also going to go to Borders for the Grand Hallows Ball on 7/20 at 9:30 pm to pick up our book at midnight!

You return to the main page and click on the Wombat ID Card (it has a butterfly by it) and then you enter your code and it will give you your results. But you may have to wait awhile for the results to be there.

Just to add - If you took 1 and 2, you're results are there. If you only took 3, sometimes it takes a few days after the sign goes back up.

Unfortunately, it won't work because you missed the test.

Me, too -- the silver group (group 2).

I can't do the whole late night thing (although I did reserve a copy at Borders, I'm now thinking I'll just go into Costco tomorrow morning when they open and pick up my copy there instead).

Now to focus on finishing the book I'm currently reading (as well as doing some actual work) so that I can start the new book when I get it

I am also a silver. I am glad I went at lunch to get the wristband. I doubt my fiancee would want to wait around like we did for The Half-Blood Prince. This day is not moving fast enough!!
