| | |  Book 7: we have a title!
J.K. Rowling has given us our Christmas wish early and has updated her site with the title to the last  Harry Potter book! 
To find the title of Book 7, follow these instructions to get through the mystery door: Quote:
Go to JKRowling.com and click on the eraser on her desk.
# 1. Click the knob on the open door in the mirror to see the Christmas tree.
# 2. Click on the top half of the main door to see a wreath.
# 3. Click on the top of the mirror to reveal garland.
# 4. They will all go away if you click the spider web next to the mirror.
# 5. Click on the 4th chime in the window, it becomes the key for the door.
# 6. Drag the key to the door knob to unlock the door.
# 7. The door opens to reveal a package.
# 8. When you click the bow, the package will open.
# 9. Inside is a game of Hangman you can play to guess the title of Book 7!
Thank you to Mugglenet for the instructions.
The title is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
This title has been confirmed by Ms. Rowling's spokesperson in Edinburgh according to CBBC Newsround this morning. Quote:
The title was revealed on JK Rowling's website, and the press office at her publishers Bloomsbury have confirmed to Newsround to say it is the title.
Happy Holidays to All!   EDIT: Scholastic and Bloomsbury Books have both updated their websites and art to reflect the new title as have Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.ca. View the art in our Gallery! American/Scholastic and Bloomsbury/UK.  | |

Although after days of trying, it's kinda anticlimactic. But go for it. That worked! Thank you! I was able to get the key from there and now saw the potion bottles that were not there before. Maybe when I entered her site I didn't choose a location maybe that is what stopped me ... Thanks!

What an unexpected title. It sounds a little odd, like it does'nt fit in with the others. Oh well, mabey after reading it, it will make sense! I can't wait!!

You can pour the potion on the dead flower by holding it over it, but I can't find what it does yet.

When I first started doing the hangman game over at rowling's site, I thought hallows was gallows, and it sent shivers up my spine. When I found that it wasn't gallows, I felt a little disappointed.
I think Jo chose this type of title because the big question on everyone's mind is whether Harry is going to live or die. It was almost obligatory for her to choose a title that has death in it, and one that is very cryptic.

OMG that is very interesting. Of course it has been ages since I read the first 5 books and I need to re-read book 6, what is all this mentioned in again?

Actually, wrong. "Hallows" is spelled different to "Hollow." HUGE Diff. You can also notice the s in "Hallow s"
It's not Deathly Hollow, it Deathly H allows

i figured out that as soon as i read the title..... That was pretty rude, and you're wrong. It's not Hollows with an O, it's HALLOWS with an A. So your guess was wrong. | |
