Big Grin Could it be? HP 6's Title??

Could it be?? Well a clever person.. well... read the story at Mugglenet! PLEASE BE TRUE!!

Book 6 title ... maybe!
The following was posted on a message board today:

Earlier today, someone got behind the door at JKRowling.com without hacking, and was greeted by a surprise. As we can see from the date, this information isn't supposed to be released until the first of July. It took the person to a book, on the left page was the dark mark, and on the right page was written the following:

1st July 2004

Erm… it is perhaps time for me to reveal
the title of Book 6! I am nearing completion of the
first draft and have definitely decided upon a
title. I had numerous possibilities in mind, but
as I wrote, I realized that only one did the book
justice.

The more clever Potter fans may recognize that
the title relates directly to both 'Order of the
Phoenix' and 'Chamber of Secrets.' I will be
highly amused if one of you can guess exactly
what's going on!

On a side note, the length of the book is
growing so fast, I could swear Filius has put an
Engorgement Charm on it; an editor's nightmare!
I promised myself not to exceed the length of
'Order of the Phoenix,' but every day that passes
makes that undertaking more difficult.
Incidentally, I have much more work ahead.

Alas, the time has come! Here is the reward for
you lot that so diligently figured out all the puzzles
on the site. If you scroll down to the bottom of
this page, I will reveal to you the title of Book 6!

...

The title of Book 6 is:

Harry Potter and the Pillar of Storgé

A video of the person that found it returning to the door can be found here, and a picture of it cleaned-up a bit can be found here. (It's blurry, but you can make out what it says.)

The writing closely mirrors JKR's style and the video is pretty convincing but, of course, we can't offer any sort of confirmation yet. Stay tuned.

For reference:

- Storgé is pronounced Stor-gee.
- We had the book 5 title more than a year before its release.
- Storgé is Greek for 'parental love'.

We'll have to wait til July 1st to see if it's a hoax or not. Most people are saying it is a hoax. But who knows?

sigh..... It's fake.

From TLC:

JKRowling.com Update: Why the Book Title Is Almost Positively Fake

I was fooling around with the links from the old "hack" of JKR's site and the links people have been sending us to the door without the "Do Not Disturb Sign" - and came up with this. Go here (if nothing happens, right-click and press "Play").

The book with the placeholder text shows up. Note the overwhelming differences between this book and the one in the "Book 6 Title" video. For one thing, it's not on a desk but simply on the site; for another, there is nothing pink anywhere on it. It's a totally different book.

The book that claims to have the title was fabricated, unless JKR asked for a redesign of this portion from the link she already acknowledged contained placeholding text, and then made that redesign completely mismatched with the rest of her site...the Book Six Title rumor is most definitely fake.

It was fun while it lasted, though! Can JKR possibly match the buildup that now surrounds what will actually be on this book? (Uh. Yeah. She can.)

Damn, oh well. How the hell did a guy come up with that kind of title with the word Strorge in it though?
