New Harry Potter title announced

J.K. Rowling has announced the title of the new book, but I'd be a spoilsport if I posted it up here.

There's a game on her website that will help you discover it for yourself. Click the eraser on the desk to begin.

Clues:



1. Click doorway in mirror to see Christmas tree.
2. Click on the top half of the door to get the wreath.
3. Click on the top of the mirror to get the garland.
4. Click on the spider web right next to the door to make them go away.
5. Click the 4th chime in the window and get the key for the door.
6. Drag key to unlock the door.
7. Door opens to show a desk with a package.
8. Click the bow on the package and it will open.
9. Click the inside of the package and a game of Hangman is shown where you can play a game to guess the name of the seventh book.
10. You can keep playing till you get it right and when you do a check mark will appear.

    What a bollocks title.


    She may aswell have called it Harry Potter and The Last Book and been done with it. No-one would have cared.

    tbh, what does the title matter? It's what's inside that's important.

    Not when you're choosing a book -- sure, the inside is what matters, and you shouldn't judge the book by the cover and all that, but it's marketing. A ludicrous name won't help the sales. ;)

    Like it needs help with the sales! HBP was a crap title, too.

    Harry potter is that famous people will buy the next book regardless of the name, especially as it's the last one and everyone wants to find out the ending.

    Looking forward... I just hope that neither Harry himself nor Ginny are among the two that get killed, although they chances of that are probably slim. :( Ron and Hermione might as well get chopped to tiny pieces by a temporarily brainwashed Harry if that's what it takes.

    I dont want ANY of the main characters to die...except Hagrid, not that bothered about him!

    Well I'd prefer it if no one did too (not Hagrid either) but if I got to choose among these four (Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny) those are the two I'd choose.

    I'm convinced Harry will die. I'll be so disappointed if he doesn't, actually.

    I hope not. I understand it as a way to make sure there's no sequel, but besides me liking Harry, the main character dying is a huge cliché. And so is killing his love interest.

    But so is the goodie triumphing over the baddie. Especially when the goodie is a 16 year old battling against a wizard with far more experience. Yet that surely has to be what happens - evil can't win over good.

    Yeah, well, at least that's a cliché I like. :p
