REAL title for HP #6
The real title of the sixth Harry Potter has been released, and it's not HP & the Pillar of Storge. And I'm glad.
From Publisher's Lunch again...
The CNN article is here.
Rowling's response to the "leaked" title:
Heh. Toenail of Icklibogg.
Thanks to Kristy, who texted me to ask if I'd heard about the title...and prompted me to read today's Publisher's Lunch.

The rumor/hoax about the title of Harry Potter 6 took on a lot of momentum before being denied, and then the real title was indeed found on JK Rowling's web site. The book is called HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE. (The prince is neither Harry nor Voldemort.)
The CNN article is here.
Rowling's response to the "leaked" title:
A "rumors" section of the site had included a post from fans Monday that the new title would be "Harry Potter and the Pillar of Storge" but Rowling dismissed that idea on the site, saying, "I am trying very hard not to be offended that anyone thought this was possible."
Another posting in the rumor section said that the title would be "Harry Potter and the Toenail of Icklibogg" to which Rowling responded, "Well, if you believed the Storge one..."
Heh. Toenail of Icklibogg.
Thanks to Kristy, who texted me to ask if I'd heard about the title...and prompted me to read today's Publisher's Lunch.
