Final 'Harry Potter' Title Announced

By HILLEL ITALIE (AP National Writer)
From Associated Press
December 21, 2006 11:38 AM EST

NEW YORK - We now have a title for Harry Potter VII. But if you want to find out for yourself, visit J.K. Rowling's Web site 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 explained 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 test for her Potter fans.

If you go to jkrowling.com, 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 wreath 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: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."

Ahh, you beat me to it. LOL So what do you think? Place of the final big battle and location of final horcrux?

I can get all the way to turning the chime into a key, but nothing I do will make that darn key move to the door. :-(

first you click and hold for a few seconds and the chime turns into a key. then let the mouse go. now, click on the key and hold and drag it to the lock. you have to line it up properly or it won't work.

It's the second step that won't work for me (click and hold and drag). Should my cursor be at the top, middle or bottom of the key?? It's not a huge deal, but I like the creativity used on things like this and would love to see the entire "ride."

I can't get past the chime either. It turns gold and that's all I can get it to do. Does it matter I wonder if it's Explorer that's the problem? Is that what you're using?

Just checking but did you follow all the previous steps? I didn't play around with it TOO much but it didn't seem to work unless you did the whole shebang in proper order. For example, if you click on the chime out of order, nothing happens. Good luck.

I did it in order, I did it in Mozilla, I did it in Explorer, I did it in the house, I did it with a mouse ... but I could not move that chime one time. :-(

RFLOL ! If it makes you feel any better, it really is sorta anticlimatic anyway. No bells, whistles or fireworks... just the title in all its one-dimensional glory.

I still can't get the chimes to turn into a key, but I got the bottles besides a potted plant and by dripping content from each bottle onto the plant, I got an award for achievement that allowed me to see extra content, and it had a list of professors for the upcoming year! Very surprising! Did you guys see that?

Never mind. I'm such a dork. I didn't read thoroughly, and the list was from Azkaban. Boo!

That did the trick. :-) Needed a BRITISH mouse. :-) On the US site, it doesn't have a plant near the door, it has a vase w/cut daffodils and there are no "potions" beside the plant that you can pour on it. Thanks for the tip!

I clicked on the British flag and it works that way. I poured up to 5 drops each in the plant and it didn't do anything.

Ahem. Ahem. The chimes and key finally worked for me after I followed the instructions from the beginning. Huh. What a novel concept. I would be a disgrace in Potions.

I spent some time with my niece and nephew tonight and right after leaving there heard the news about Hussein and I don't think I can take more of the bleak real world so I decided to think about HP for a while. It's been a long time.

It'll be so very strange if Harry really doesn't return to Hogwarts for his seventh year! I think (hope) he will, at least for a time. If the school reopens, of course.

I haven't given much thought to the title yet but it does seem that it may relate to Harry's quest for the remaining horcruxes. Or does it have anything to do with Godric's Hollow or another significant place? And it is "deathly" not "deadly" which may mean something. I remember being so frustrated in OotP that Harry didn't use the mirror Sirius had given him. Maybe he will find some way to finally use it to contact him.

My musing could go on all night so I'll stop here!
