The titles of the final two Harry Potter books may no longer be a secret after two new trade marks were registered with the UK Patent Office. Harry Potter And The Mudblood Revolt and Harry Potter And The Quest Of The Centaur are reported to have been registered by a company called Seabottom Productions six weeks ago.
The key word here is, of course, may: Potter fans pointed out that other titles had been registered over the years - such as Harry Potter And The Pyramids Of Furmat - which have never seen the light of day.
UPDATE: The official title has been released, and it’s Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. You can preorder it from Amazon now.

Superstar tenor Luciano Pavarotti is such a huge fan of Harry Potter, he wants to turn the wizard adventures into a kid’s opera.
