Harry Potter and The Hallows of Hogwarts

In an interview with Melissa Anelli J.K. Rowling said that Harry Potter and The Hallows of Hogwarts was going to be the title of book 7 for many years. Her reason for changing it to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was because is was "wrong, just wrong." and because there are "about 12 adverbs in the final title. I love an adverb." You can read this interview here!







The potential titles included:

-Harry Potter and the Heart of Ravenclaw
-Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
-Harry Potter and the Deadly Veil
-Harry Potter and the Demon's Sword
-Harry Potter and the Quest of the Serpent
-Harry Potter and the Grey Lady
-Harry Potter and the Heir of Gryffindor
-Harry Potter and the Lost Sceptre
-Harry Potter and the Broken Wand
-Harry Potter and the Gryffindor Quest
-Harry Potter and the Peverell Quest
-Harry Potter and the Wand of Gryffindor
-Harry Potter and the Ring of Destiny
-Harry Potter and the Elder Wand
-Harry Potter and the Revenge of Dumbledore
-Harry Potter and the March of the Death Eaters
-Harry Potter and the Return of the Dark Lord
-Harry Potter and the Curse of Nagini
-Harry Potter and the Last Prophecy
-Harry Potter and the Hallows of Hogwarts
-Harry Potter and the Mudblood Revolt
-Harry Potter and the Seventh Horcrux
-Harry Potter and the Wand of Grindelwald
-Harry Potter and the Final Curse

Just be glad we got the title did. I can't imagine reading a book called Harry Potter and the Revenge of Dumbledore.
