This morning I read an article about what JK Rowling is going to name the last book in the series at ABC News Online

How reliable is this source? It isn't verified at jkrowling.com so far as I know. The only google result that verifies it is this which makes me think that ABC has it right - and why would the ABC deceive me? (is it just me or is that question strangely reminiscent of Descartes' ontological argument for the existence of God?)

But what a weird title! Perhaps it's an anagram??

aha! verified again - an update 59 minutes ago on Bloomberg

Clearly I'm not website pop-up savvy enough because despite my assertion that it wasn't verified on jkrowling.com here's a quote from the Bloomberg article:
The title of the seventh book in the series was revealed through a puzzle on the British writer's Web site, where visitors have to click on items to reveal a chamber and then guess the name of the book from the clues given.

And apparently Jon's dad just heard it on the radio... Well, I am clearly not the next Huffington Post am I...

But what do you think of the title for Book 7 "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"?

p.s. I'm on holidays in case you didn't pick that up...
p.p.s the word count of my own novel has not altered since my last post but I have watched thirteen episodes of The West Wing which I am finding enjoyable but not without a distinct and unmistakable essence of cheese... It's the stirring music that keeps playing to make sure that you realise that a scene is poignant... it is beginning to get on my nerves just a little... If only, if only they hadn't cancelled Firefly
