Harry Potter VII title released!

[semi-subtle.livejournal.com]

JK Rowling has announced the title to Book Seven at last, and she has a little scavenger hunt going on her site to find it. Very exciting stuff! It can be found at her official site.


1. Click the eraser in the center of the desk.
2. Click the center of the open door in the reflection of the hallway in the mirror. A Christmas tree should appear.
3. Click the center of the large door next to the mirror. A wreath will appear.
4. Click the reflection of the ceiling in the mirror. A garland appears.
5. Click the cobweb at the top right corner of the door. It will disappear.
6. Check out the windchime in the window. Click and hold down the second chime from the right. It turns into a key, which opens the door.
7. Click the wrapped present behind the door twice, and play a game of hangman to figure out the title.









































The title of the seventh Harry Potter book is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I don't know about you, but I'm having a hard time containing myself over this one. Dark tones appear to be at a premium this time around, and really, what else could you expect?

OMG YAY!!! I'm so excited hahaha

That's awesome.. Unfortunately.. I was unable to get a get. I clicked the chime and it became some golden chime. Unless, I did it wrong.

oh well.

[xloveee.livejournal.com]

The same thing happened to me! I don't know what I did wrong.

I think you have to click on it and then drag it to the doorknob. =D

Or perhaps I'm just misunderstanding. XD

[semi-subtle.livejournal.com]

To be honest, it didn't work for me either. I copied those directions from some update I got on Yahoo, but I tried many times and couldn't drag the key either. ;.;

Mugglenet has a video that shows it though, if you want to check that out.

I actually managed to get it to work just fine, and I followed the directions, too! (:

Oh. My. God. OH MY GOD OHMYGODOHMYGOD!!!!!!

I am at a loss for words. I am so excited. Italian boy next to me is looking at me like I have three heads.

I.....




am....




not impressed!

What? I looked at it and went, "*laugh* Whaaa-at?? That's so dumb!" (I'm sure I could have come up with something more creative had I just not been so.... (I'm going to coin my own term here) "dumb-shocked".

I'm just not really that impressed, and I don't know why. I mean, the titles of all the books had me immediately guessing. "The Deathly Hallows" didn't really do that for me. All I can invision is Harry making a raid on Death Eater HQ. I mean, think about it. The Philosopher's Stone, The Chamber of Secrets, The Prisoner of Azkaban, The Goblet of Fire, The Order of the Phoenix, and The Half-Blood Prince. They all had a direct tie in with the plot (and often) climax of the book. Will this title have the same? Perhaps, but, I find myself highly doubtful.

*shrug*

You know, I was a little let down myself. It doesn't have the same luster as the other titles before it, you're right. There was that whole thing with WHO IS THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE OMG, but Deathly Hallows? Not quite so mysterious.

[rhapsodyinpink.livejournal.com]

Check out deathly_hallow, there's a nice discussion post there on what the significance of the title may be. =D

[ladykuroda.livejournal.com]

I'll have to do that sometime, then. Thanks! (:

[ladykuroda.livejournal.com]

I agree, whole-heartedley. My brother is of the same agreement.

[canarycream.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I so agree. Everyone so far that I've asked in RL thinks it's pretty lame too. But maybe it'll surprise me, who knows.

[cetacea.livejournal.com]

Kind of a lame title, in my opinion. This is the way I felt when people started claiming the sixth book (or was it the fifth) was called "The Pillar of Storge". Unfortunately, this isn't just a fluke, and it is the real title. I am excited about the book, though.

[excentrix.livejournal.com]

OMGWTF?!

It sounds ... weird but also dark so I'm excited about that.

YAY! YAY!

Bloody hell, why can't they just release the damn book already. :/

[blackisslimming.livejournal.com]

after thinking it over and reading some theories, I am HELLA excited about the title.

how can I judge the title when I don't even know what Rowling means?

love it.
