Now for the real question.....How the heck do you guys find all that
stuff on JR's website?  My mouse moves over portkeys that open to
other pages but .... scrapbook pages?  Watch faces that change?
Phone ringing?  Never happened!  Please do tell!

Try:

Carol adds:
But it's much more fun to do it by yourself. All you have to do to get
the phone to ring is leave the main page up for awhile. When you click
on the little arrow key (I don't own a cell phone so I don't know what
it's called), she'll answer. Peeves will also come to any page if you
leave it up long enough (maybe fifteen minutes?). I like to open her
site in one window and leave it running while I post or surf or check
my e-mail in another window. When I hear a whoosh like a gust of wind,
I hurry and open up her site again so I can see the watch face change,
etc. If you hear Peeves cackle, you're probably too late to catch him
in action (or see that nasty bug that isn't the spider--is it a doxie?
crawl across the page), but you'll at least see the cup of pens he
knocked over (or the writing on the mirror or whatever). You don't
actually see Peeves, but you'll know when he's been there.

So for Peeves and the phone, just wait. It will happen. For the
scrapbook clues, if you haven't found them by clicking everything in
sight on her site or browsing the messages here, try Phil's
suggestion. Or round up the nearest ten-year-old and let him or her
play with JKR's site. (Hint: If you haven't caught the spider yet,
wait for him to pause and just wiggle his legs. Then click. Gotcha!)
