You won't be surprised if I ask...what? lol
Lol, how quickly you forget Emma! I am referring to the pre-HBP shipping wars. Ginny and Cho were somewhat symbolically competing in OotP. From minor comparisons, such as the naming of the DA, to larger scale signs such as Ginny catching the snitch from her and Cho stealing her boyfriend. They where competing and set up as opposites, such as Cho was negitive natured and Ginny positive. It is all subtly between the lines kind of stuff.
Jo shows that she was aware of this and did it on purpose in the plan for OotP where she puts Ginny and Cho's emotional journey in the came plot line.

You need to double-click the pen. Then you will be able to write with it. It takes a few times to get it exactly right.
I wasn't able to swirl the coffee at work. Now I'm going to try it here at home...

It doesn't normally open. Only at timed intervals. Quote:

There isn't one really. The animals are just decorations.

Here you are: Quote:
1) Click on the hairbrush on the main page to get to the “Extra Stuff” section. Turn on the radio. Wait a few seconds until you get an announcement that tells you to use 6 drops of red potion followed by three drops of green potion to revive a particular type of plant. Go back to the main page and click on the eraser, which will take you to the mysterious door page, where the plant in question is located. Use the potion bottles next to the plant to revive it as the radio instruction had told you to do.
REWARD: Paper depicting a brainstorming session by JKR around the time of Prisoner of Azkaban, with information regarding teachers' names, occupations, gender, etc. along with experimental hippogriff names.
2) On the main page, click on the pencil sharpener to get to the "Rubbish Bin" area. Grab a hold of the coffee cup on the upper right part of the page, and move it, in a circular fashion, clockwise around 3-4 times. The coffee ground that had initially been scattered randomly on the surface should now be arranged in a circular fashion. Leaving the cup as it is, go back to the main page, and click on the hairbrush to get to the "Extra Stuff" section. Click on the small card at the bottom-middle part of the page that says "Circle" in red ink.
REWARD: The original synopsis of Philosopher’s Stone.
3) On the main page, click on the eyeglasses to get to the "Links" page. On the middle of the bottom shelf, find the maroon book titled "Ancient Runes Made Easy". Click on the book to open it. You should see number correspondances to symbolic images. Note these down. Next, go to back the main page and click on the pencil sharpener to get to the "Rubbish Bin" area, where you will see a number of runes scattered on the ground in a linear fashion. Match the runes with the numbers based on the information you had gathered from the library book. The runes, when translated, should correspond to “31071965” (which is, in fact Jo’s birthday, July 31 1965, and Harry's as well). Finally, go back to the main page, and type in these numbers to the telephone and press the green "Talk" button.
REWARD: Early draft of Philosopher’s Stone (around 1994).
4) On the main page, click on the eyeglasses to get to the "Links" section. Wait for 5 MINUTES WITHOUT CLICKING on anything. Peeves will show up, blow out the candle, and knock the painting on the left side of the bookshelf down to reveal a piece of paper taped to the wall that has the shape of Harry's scar drawn on it. Next, get back to the main page, and click on the hairbrush to get to the “Extra Stuff” section. You should notice a piece of paper on the bottom-left part of the page that looks exactly like the one you had just discovered back on the living room, but without the scar drawn on it. Grab the blue pen attached to the bulletin board, and draw the scar exactly as it is.
REWARD: An early draft of one of Jo's book organization guides to the Order of the Phoenix.
5) Click on the pencil sharpener on the main page to get to the "Rubbish Bin" page. At the bottom of the page, you should see a bunch of words that need to be rearranged to make sense. Rearrange those by clicking and dragging them The right combination is "Here you get no ring within, Tap five times and I am in". Next, go back to the main page, and click on the large, black, paper organizing clip which will take you to the "Fan Sites" page. On that page, you should notice a small, red, ring box. As the instruction had told you, click on the box five times. It will open, revealing a sparkling blue bubble containing a blue question mark. Click on the question mark.
REWARD: Another early draft of Philosopher’s Stone and the information that Draco’s last name used to be “Spungen”

I love the zooming feature. The main problem I had with the easter eggs was they were way too small. Now my problem is just reading Jo's handwriting :-)
