The names of books VI and VII hve been leaked, do a search for them, they are easy to find out now.

How long before 5 came out did we know the title?

A couple of months at the most I think...can't really remember. Was it book 4 that we didn't know the title of until it was actually published? or have i just imagined that?

I'm not convinced by the story of the titles either...anyone could have done it + there's no link to JKR.

lou xxx

those titles are a bit odd but thanks for the site..i got some other links to pretty cool sites ...i got stung by a bee in my finger today and got swollen and huge so i have to type very clowly to make sure no mistakes

These title suggestions do seem alot more reliable then a lot of others that have been mentioned, although its highly likely that they are just red herrings to keep us guessing. I think we know the title for OotP ages ago, I seem to remember searching for book 5 not long after book 4 came out and findingsites with the title on. I think she needs to tell us the title so we can start making some more educated guesses.

I found the telegraph article from yesterday.

Harry Potter and the mysterious book titles
By Becky Barrow
(Filed: 04/09/2003)


For Harry Potter fans, revelations about the possible titles of the next two books are nearly as exciting as sightings of the evil Lord Voldemort.

No sooner had fans consumed every word of J K Rowling's latest tale - the 766-page door-stopper Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - than they were busying themselves with speculation about the next instalment of wizardry.

For the truly committed, this obsession has taken them to searching the new applications files at the Patent Office.

An application has been made by Seabottom Productions, a company with two employees and no known line of business, to obtain the trademark of two possible book titles, Harry Potter and the Mudblood Revolt and Harry Potter and the Quest of the Centaur.

The company, which does not appear to have a telephone number, was incorporated just three days before the application was made in July.

To encourage intense speculation among Potter fans, the address of Seabottom Productions is the same central London address as the law firm whose name appears on the trademark registration for all the existing Harry Potter titles.

One of Field Fisher Waterhouse's clients is Warner Bros, the American film company which made the Potter films. A spokesman for the law firm refused to comment yesterday.

But a spokesman for Bloomsbury Publishing, the company behind Potter-mania, insisted yesterday that the trademark applications are not significant, pointing out that similar speculation accompanied the previous books.

The name of the next book, she said, remains a secret. Its publication date has not been set although Miss Rowling has revealed that she has started work on the sixth instalment.

One website, Mugglenet, devotes a whole page to possible titles for the sixth and seventh books. They include Harry Potter and the Green Flame Torch and Harry Potter and the Pyramids of Furmat.

Sorry that we me.... Let's see..... Xenon should be back soon.... i hope....

ummm I hope we will see more of charlie and bill but not percy!

speaking of xenon..when did she leave..wasn't it only a week she was going to be gone

I think we'll just have to wait and see with the titles...

Back to the actual books...

In book five Moody shows Harry a picture of the previous Order of the pheonix- lots of them had died- and he says one of them was never found- might be worth noting the name -could be nothing but also could be a future character...?

Damn...just forgotten whatever it was I was about to say (distracted by bizarre tribal-dancers in a game my brother is playing !)...

Blah

On another point, how often was the quidditch wolrd cup held? I seem to think in the back of my mind that its every three years, but I've just had a quick look and can't find anywhere that says. My thought was that if its every three years we'll be due another one in book 7. Maybe Harry could play?

If it was every 3 would we not have heard about it during book 1? I thought it was every 4 though not 100% sure.

But wouldn't it have happened at the very start of book 1, before Harry knew anything about quidditch, and it wasn't in England coz England hadn't hosted it for 30 years, so the hogwarts students probably wouldn't have had tickets.
