 JKR opens the Rubbish Bin section on her site - for false rumors/articles Summary: Article:
If you click the gum wrapper between the notepad and dreggy teacup (right below a recently-placed marble that sits next to the pen cup) on J.K. Rowling's desk on JKRowling.com, you'll find a new section called called Rubbish Bin. As JKR explains it:
"It is inevitable that amongst all the who-knows-how-many Harry Potter/J K Rowling stories that appear in the press there will be some that are less than accurate. This is a great place to tell you the truth about some of the more-fiction-than-fact articles."
This sounds like a great section. She has a handy garbage-o-meter for rating stories (from "STARTING TO SMELL" to "TOXIC") and some of the stories overlap. For instance, the flagrantly untrue "Gilderoy Lockhart is based on J.K. Rowling's ex-husband" appears in both "GARBAGE" and "TOXIC." She also dispels rumors about her husband stopping his work and the origins of Quidditch. UPDATE: Quote: Our readers also inform us that there's a new piece of Potterania to be found if you sneak around. The instructions to various bits are below if you don't want to be spoiled.
If you break the pen on the left in the Rubbish Bin, a new hint about which three items you need for Potterania appears. The items are eggs (which are in the Rubbish Bin section), grass (which is in the Extra Stuff section by the eraser and pen after Peeves breezes through) and marbles (which are on the fan site page; you have to move the top medal box to the side).
Wait on the main page until the Doxy arrives, then click the marble when it's glowing. Pages from Dragon Breeding for Pleasure and Profit will be the reward.
Also take note that, "when Peeves comes in the Rubbish section he moves aside a gum wrapper revealing a 12 digit number." (Thanks Dani!) The number is upside down and hard to read but readers have been interpreting it as 058040 754422 or 058249 754422, and various others.

There's also something that looks like some eggshells on the right side of the bin, they disappear when you click on them - has anyone figured out what happens then? I couldn't see anything happening when I did it...

Sounds awsome. I'll go and check it out. Its amazing what crap that the newspapers can write about famous people. J.k's a saint. I'll get really angry if they put anything bad in the newspapers about her. But i probably wont complain, im not that type of person. I'll just leave that to all the OAPs out there!

Yeah, I just noticed the egg shells..
The only thing I can think of is maybe if we grab other stuff (which I'm not sure what so far), we'll get another addition to our scrapbook!!
**clicks away**
If I find anything, I'll post it 
I encourage whoever wants to do the same

Oh, if you click on the pencil on the left side of the bin, it will break and ink will flow over the paper. Then you'll see ingredients for a new "potion": the eggshells, something that looks like straw (maybe pencils??) and something that looks like stones or pebbles, I don't know. Couldn't find any of the others so far so, has anyone else had more luck??

The straw looking thing is in the extras page to the left behind the ripped piece of paper.

Cool, thanks, didn't see that. Another pen just got broken on my "rubbish bin" page, maybe Peeves does it when you wait long enough. But nothing interesting happens to it...

Has anyone else noticed the marble next to the pen cup on the main page? I'm almost positive that it wasn't there before. Maybe it will become another link. Hmmmm  | |

That's a neat update... I love the drawing of Nearly Headless Nick. She's actually really talented. I hope she eventually draws a picture of every character... it would be cool to see how she visions them.
On the 'rubbish' section, towards the right side there appears to be a family tree, and the only name I could make out was "Rebeus Hagrid". I wonder if that's going to have importance in the future books?
