The official site
from J.K. Rowling has been updated to include a "Wizard of the Month Archive," (via the calendar on the main page of the site or here), where you will find a complete list of wizards that have appeared on her site.
Fans will also have a chance to review previous door openings by using the time turner in the Room of Requirement (use the eraser on the main page to locate).
Thanks to Alisha for the update.
UPDATE: The site's news section has also been updated with news on companion books:
Companion Books
It's common knowledge that I love genuine Harry Potter fansites, which is why I created my own award to recognise their creativity and ingenuity.
It's also old news that I hope one day to write the definitive Harry Potter encyclopedia, which will include all the material that never made it into the novels, and that I will give the royalties from this book to charity.
I cannot, therefore, approve of "companion books" or "encyclopedias" that seek to pre-empt my definitive Potter reference book for their authors' own personal gain. The losers in such a situation would be the charities, that I hope, eventually, to benefit.
Jo's news on her site may have something to do with this story, in which Jo and Warner Bros. are suing RDR books, a book publishing company based in Michigan and others.
The lawsuit states:
The infringing book is particularly troubling as it is in direct contravention to Ms. Rowling's repeatedly stated intention to publish her own companion books to the series and donate proceeds of such books to charity.
Additional items for fans are also on the site and if you really don't want to do it yourself, highlight the area below for the complete solution (courtesy of the Lexicon) and Alisha:
1) Draw a ? mark on the square blank paper on the Extra Stuff bulletin board.?Clue: Hold your curser on the Sneakascope in the Rubbish Bin until it moves.
2) Peel back the wallpaper next to the light switch by the Door for a new Potion recipe (egg and Lacewing Fly leg). Wait on the desk top for Peeves to knock over the pens, an egg appears. Click on it. Wait in the Fansites trophy case for a new Lacewing Fly to flit in and land on the FSA cup. Click on it.
