Whiz:  ) Hi vmonte. 
 
On JKR's website last fall, a dartboart appeared behind the door to
the Room of Requirement.  The number 713 made the dartboard move to
reveal a Gringotts safe.  Gringotts is a hundred miles under London
and 713 was the vault with the Philosopher's Stone in it.

I searched high and low for a dartboard and didn't find it in any of
the books.  However, in the opening scene of the PoA film, when Harry
is doing homework under the blankets, there is a dartboard over his
bed. ??!!  Part of Harry's "protection?"  If that's the case, where
might the cupboard under the stairs lead?  Remember how horrified
Petunia was when the first letter arrived and she realized that "they"
knew where he slept?  

Is it allowed to post a link to "another board?"

Thanks for posting the link.  I'll remember to do that next time.  :)
