| | 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. |

Hallow is something sacred isn't it? You think it's got something to do with the department of mysteries?

Here's another article from Yahoo News that was just posted:
Final 'Harry Potter' title announced
By HILLEL ITALIE, AP National Writer2 hours, 43 minutes ago
We now have a title for Book VII: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows."
But if you want to find out for yourself, visit J.K. Rowling's Web site, jkrowling.com, and play a little game of hangman.
Rowling's U.S. publisher, Scholastic, Inc., released a brief statement Thursday announcing the name of the world's most anticipated children's book, the finale to her phenomenally popular fantasy series.
No publication date or other details were offered. Rowling is still working on the book, she wrote on her Web site in an entry posted early Thursday.
"I'm now writing scenes that have been planned, in some cases, for a dozen years or even more," she wrote. "I don't think anyone who has not been in a similar situation can possibly know how this feels: I am alternately elated and overwrought. I both want, and don't want, to finish this book (don't worry, I will.)"
Meanwhile, she set up a little game for her Potter fans.
If you go to her home page, click on the eraser and you will be taken to a room — you'll see a window, a door and a mirror.
In the mirror, you'll see a hallway. Click on the farthest doorknob and look for the Christmas tree. They click on the center of the door next to the mirror and a reef appears. Then click on the top of the mirror and you'll see a garland.
Look for a cobweb next to the door. Click on it, and it will disappear. Now, look at the chimes in the window. Click on the second chime to the right, and hold it down. The chime will turn into the key, which opens the door. Click on the wrapped gift behind the door, then click on it again and figure out the title yourself by playing a game of hangman.
Or you can just take Scholastic's word for it.
