Finally.

The final Harry Potter title has been announced.

SF Gate story on the title, or you can go to JK Rowling's website and play a game to find it (cheat hints on the game in the SFG article)

Swoooon! Thank you for the linky. The title suggests to me that the story will revisit the night Harry's parents were murdered. Time turners - not just for third years anymore.

Oh man, I never thought of that! It'd be just like her to pull something from book three out like that.

Like Chekov said, never put a loaded time-turner on the wall unless you're going to use it in the last act.

(That's my new fave phrase. I need an icon of that)

"Like Chekov said, never put a loaded time-turner on the wall unless you're going to use it in the last act."

Heh. And while using it to rescue Sirius was worthy enough, I was always more than a little bothered that they would give TTs out to *schoolkids*. I mean, was she just being a little lazy about introducing a key plot element or was she showing how inexcusably casual the Ministry is?

I hope it was how lazy the Ministry was. Also, Dumbledore could have pushed it so that the kids would know how to use it, just in case. But yeah, it's a dangerous thing for anyone, let alone hot-headed 13-year-olds.
