The Secret of Harry Potter Six and Seven Revealed?

A British tabloid claims to have uncovered the titles of the final two Harry Potter novels. The Sun newspaper claim the sixth and seventh installments of J.K. Rowling's wizard adventures will be called Harry Potter And The Mudblood Revolt and Harry Potter And The Quest Of The Centaur - after discovering the titles had been registered as trademarks with the UK Patent Office. They were mysteriously registered in July by a company called Seabottom Productions, who themselves were formed just days before and who share a London address with the British lawyers of Harry Potter film studios Warner Brothers. Sources close to reclusive Rowling have refused to confirm the rumors - but fans of the global literary sensation are already beginning to speculate if the titles are true, or just an elaborate decoy.

Okay yeah, let's join in with the speculations! Personally, I have my troubles with these titles. I don't think the next book would be called that o.o. Why should Mudbloods revolt all of a sudden. There hasn't been any hints towards that yet. And I also find it hard to believe that the final installment should have something to do with a Centaur in the title. It just seems so... unspectacular. But maybe that's just me. *shrugs*

Um, maybe it's just my total Slyth side coming through, but wtf do Mudblods have to revolt against?

I don't think this is the title, but one could imagine a terrorist group made up of disgruntled muggleborns and halfbloods who target purebloods. Would kind of put a spin to the whole thing because then sme muggleborns would be evil. Kind of like CoS revised. Hermione could be suspected, or she could really be a leader in this group though she doesn't agree with the killings. The Weasley's, as well as Draco would be considered targets and be assigned guardians. Even Snape would! Harry might be forced to protect and save Draco, though he'd much prefer not to. Anyway, just a few ideas.

Well yes, this works... for a fanfic. Somehow I don't think HP will ever be this complex. There's good and there's evil. The sides are pretty much defined. Suddenly making Draco "good" or at least "non-evil" as in, not having changed his attitude and yet being in danger and protection-worthy, just won't happen. The best you get is a set of ambiguous characters that might or might not surprise you with a sudden conversion from good to evil, but even then they would clearly migrate over to the Evil Side (tm) as it has always been established. JMHO, of course.

And now I most finish packing! *squeeeeness*

ARGH!!!!!
LJ ate my comment for the second time! This is my third attempt!!!!
GRRRR!

*retypes* (angrily)

You are probably right though of course I want to believe better of JKR. Look at squibs - Filch is evil but Figg is nice and helps the Order.

Of course the titles ate just a decoy. But it would be interesting. I can see Hermione with her passion and ideals getting involved in such a group. She becomes one of the leaders. At first she believes that it can do good but eventually she starts to see from inside the organization how people begin to abandon their morals. Disillusioned, she at first tries to patch things up, because she still believes in the organization. Eventually people start getting hurt and she's torn. What will she do?

Squee! You must be so happy going away! And seeing Fleur! That means you'll be back on *counts* Tuesday? My training for my job starts on Monday so I can tell you about that then. I baked bread last night, and I think I'll have my first taste now. I'm so hungry. I got a very flattering fb on Lost so I'm very pleased. *hugs* I hope you have a great time!
