Breaking "news"

Wall Street Concerns for Potter Seven in 2007. Speaking of which, we now have a title. Warning: if you want to figure it out yourself, scroll down one line at a time until you get to #10, the last instruction. The answer is about a line after that, so be careful.

Kind of like Lemony Snicket with "The End"?

Exactly. Or "Pötterdämmerung" or "HP7" or something completely breaking with convention. That'd be scary. And have the whole style of the book minimalist, like Hemingway or Beckett. God, that'd be no end of baffling, wouldn't it? Tears, across the world, a never-ending river of tears.

And I added the key words from the new title to the Harry Potter Title Generator (http://tech.jmc.ksu.edu/phpnonsense/phpnonsense.php?template=harrypotter). It's now possible to get the new title, albeit mathematically unlikely (let's see... a .0149% chance, all told).

I got Harry Potter and the Flute of Darkness.

So much better.

And we'd drown in fanfic with Ginny exclaiming "This one time, at band camp...."
