Harry Potter and the Hogwash List
by David Haber, Wizard News Wizard
The Sun reported today, and was quickly repeated by other news outlets, that the "mystery title" of the seventh and last Harry Potter installment may finally have been revealed, and they say the title is "Harry Potter and the Great Revelation".
Furthermore, the Sun disclosed today that the title, along with another title, "Harry Potter and the Parseltongue Trophy", has been secretly registered as a trademark with the British Patent Office.
The next Harry Potter book... NOT!
The only problem is, these titles are not "new". They were registered several years ago in 2003, along with a handful of other titles which at one time or another were also touted as being titles of Harry Potter books, later proven as untrue, especially "Harry Potter and the Green Flame Torch".
The titles registered in July, 2003 were:
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Harry Potter and the Hallows of Hogwarts
Harry Potter and the Hogsmeade Tomb
Harry Potter and the Hogwarts Hallows
Harry Potter and the Parseltongue Trophy
Harry Potter and the Realm of the Lion
Harry Potter and the Serpent's Revenge
Harry Potter and the Shadow of the Serpent
Harry Potter and the Great Revelation
Harry Potter and the Green Flame Torch
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was probably registered in 2003 as a precaution, in that it was originally the title of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince wasn't announced as the title of book 6 until a year later at the end of June, 2004.
A spokesman for J.K. Rowling is quoted as saying, "So far she has not announced any names for the seventh book."
All fans should remember that it's not a title until J.K. says it is, and when there's really a title for book 7, we'll hear it from J.K. herself first
HP and the Death of Trees! That's a great one!
She has sold a butt load of books... she is now officially a billionaire, and ranked like, 742, for the worlds richest person.
Shadow of the Serpant would be a good title.
But, I also like, Realm of the Lion, because I have a feeling that Harry is going home, and going to discover a lot about his back story!

Realm of the Lion isn't bad... there's something about it that's good, and something about it that just doesn't fit. I think its the word 'Lion'... not sure why...
