New Name for Harry Potter Book Released
Fans will have to play game to figure out new name.
J.K. Rowling came up with a title for the final installment of the Harry Potter series, but fans will have to go to her website and play a game to figure it out.
Rowling's U.S. publisher, Scholastic Inc., released a brief statement announcing the name, but offered no other details about the book, according to the Associated Press. Rowling is still working on the book.
"I'm now writing scenes that have been planned, in some cases, for a dozen years or even more. I don't think anyone who has not been in a similar situation can possibly know how this feels: I am alternately elated and overwrought. I both want, and don't want, to finish this book (don't worry, I will)," she wrote on her website, according to the AP.
In order to figure out the name of the book, fans need to go to jkrowling.com and click on the eraser. Visitors will then be taken to a room with a window, door, and mirror, the AP reported.
In the mirror, you'll see a hallway. Click on the farthest doorknob and look for the Christmas tree, according to the wire service. Then click on the center of the door next to the mirror and a wreath appears. Then click on the top of the mirror and you'll see a garland.
Look for a cobweb next to the door. Click on it, and it will disappear. Now, look at the chimes in the window.
Click on the second chime to the right, and hold it down. The chime will turn into the key, which opens the door. Click on the wrapped gift behind the door, then click on it again and figure out the title yourself by playing a game of hangman.
