[QUOTE=alphawulf] Are we even sure this is the title? Back in the eighties when the rage was Star Wars , word got out that the title of the much anticipated third movie of the original 3 would be REVENGE OF THE JEDI. Some promos came out with this on it–But, of course the movie hit the screens as RETURN OF THE JEDI. The explanation was that REVENGE had been the WORKING TITLE !! [/QUOTE] It was much more than the working title. I own a very rare item- they ran One-Sheets for “The Revenge Of The Jedi” before the film was released. So, at the time of the teasers that were sent out to 20th Century Fox offices throughout the country, it was entitled “The Revenge Of The Jedi”. The One-Sheet is in perfect, rolled condition. It was never folded. I always wondered what it would be worth on eBay. 😃 Cartooniverse ---

Harry Potter and the Revenge of the Jedi. Got to admit, it would be interesting. ---

I like the title, I guess, but when is the bloody thing going to be published? ---

I was under the impression that I had heard Summer of 2007. I’ll keep an eye out for corroboration. ---

I heard a rumour it’d be published on 7-7-07, but no idea if that’s true or not. And am I the only one who finds the title a little bit lame? Seems a wee bit overdone to me. ---

Peaceblossom: > [@](#): > > I heard a rumour it’d be published on 7-7-07, but no idea if that’s true or not. Pure fan speculation. Certainly possible, but never put forth or suggested by anyone official. > [@](#): > > And am I the only one who finds the title a little bit lame? Seems a wee bit overdone to me. And imagine, this beat out two other possibilities JKR had in mind! ---

…and the last words of the last book will be, “and so it came to be that Harry Potter’s daughter was named Mary.” And two years later, the first of the Mary Potter books will be printed… ---

… and that book will be greatly revered until, twelve years hence, the Book of Larry Potter is discovered under an arch in an abandoned castle in the north of England. This new Apocrypha of Potter will throw the entire thing into chaos. 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > I heard a rumour it’d be published on 7-7-07, but no idea if that’s true or not. Untrue. Not only is it pure fannish speculation, as **cmkeller** said, but it would be the second anniversary of the London bombings, and I doubt that she’d choose a date with that kind of association. Also, I think it’s too soon – the sixth book came out over a year after the title was announced, and for the seventh book to be edited and published in time for a summer release, it would pretty much have to be finished _now_.
