Book 6 title ... maybe!
The following was posted on a message board today:
Earlier today, someone got behind the door at JKRowling.com without hacking, and was greeted by a surprise. As we can see from the date, this information isn't supposed to be released until the first of July. It took the person to a book, on the left page was the dark mark, and on the right page was written the following:
1st July 2004
Erm… it is perhaps time for me to reveal
the title of Book 6! I am nearing completion of the
first draft and have definitely decided upon a
title. I had numerous possibilities in mind, but
as I wrote, I realized that only one did the book
justice.
The more clever Potter fans may recognize that
the title relates directly to both 'Order of the
Phoenix' and 'Chamber of Secrets.' I will be
highly amused if one of you can guess exactly
what's going on!
On a side note, the length of the book is
growing so fast, I could swear Filius has put an
Engorgement Charm on it; an editor's nightmare!
I promised myself not to exceed the length of
'Order of the Phoenix,' but every day that passes
makes that undertaking more difficult.
Incidentally, I have much more work ahead.
Alas, the time has come! Here is the reward for
you lot that so diligently figured out all the puzzles
on the site. If you scroll down to the bottom of
this page, I will reveal to you the title of Book 6!
...
The title of Book 6 is:
Harry Potter and the Pillar of Storgé A video of the person that found it returning to the door can be found here, and a picture of it cleaned-up a bit can be found here. (It's blurry, but you can make out what it says.)
The writing closely mirrors JKR's style and the video is pretty convincing but, of course, we can't offer any sort of confirmation yet. Stay tuned.
For reference:
- Storgé is pronounced Stor-gee.
- We had the book 5 title more than a year before its release.
- Storgé is Greek for 'parental love'.
