Harry Potter and the Last Grab for Glory

Well, Pottermaniacs the world over finally have the answer to a secret that has bewitched them for some time now. The title of the seventh and final book in J.K. Rowling's septology about the life and times of the boy wizard will be Harry Potter and the Naughty Nurse from Brixton.

Erm, sorry, scratch that. The actual, REAL title of the book will be Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Apologies to Dan Radcliffe for getting your hopes up for the final film.

It stands to reason though that Rowling must have had numerous other possible titles in mind for the book. After rummaging through her rubbish bins in Edinburgh, Scotland*, and reviewing seventeen different videotaped interviews looking for coded language and hints, I've managed to compile a list of rejected titles for the seventh book. Just think that we all might have thrilled to one of these instead.
