Another Unbelievable Book TitleTM: I know I'll probably get skewered for saying it, but I just want to go on record as being of the opinion that any title with "Deathly Hallows" in it is plain old ridiculous, even if you begin with the ever-famous "Harry Potter and the..." You know, it'll sell more copies than the Bible, but it's still a fantastically stupid title. A title likes this one makes me wonder if anybody anywhere had the guts to say to Ms. Rowling... "you know, this might not actually be the best title I've ever seen for a book..."
They did, as you may know, change the title of book 1 for the U.S. edition from Philosopher's Stone to Sorcerer's Stone because, well, you know, people in the U.S. have no idea what a philosopher is, and we're all related to some Sorcerer or another (at least by marriage). Etc.
Bless Ms. Rowling, though, for doing whatever she damn well pleases. I doubt the title will dimple her book sales in the least.
