I could lose hours of my life to playing with this: http://www.masquerademaskarts.com/memes/peculiartitle.php

As to the new HP title. Yes, it blows goats, but remember how much we all hated the Half-Blood Prince title too? Although this is arguably signficantly worse and less funny. Honestly though, I think we've all always thought all the titles were lame with the possible exception of The Prisoner of Azkaban, because that was all mysterious and shit.

My only gripe with HP titles is the American verion of the very first one. England and Canada got "Philosopher's Stone" for the book and the movie, but Americans are apparently too simple-minded for the concept. And the truth is I don't think I'm angry so much at the condescension (though I did learn what a Philosopher's Stone was at a young age) as to the fact that it was probably the right thing to do.

Can I just second everything you said? My only addition is that I wish they'd kept the title, because I don't think it would have been off-putting, and maybe kids would have been interested enough to look it up. *sigh* Who am I kidding.

I think now that people are hooked on it all the first one should be rereleased here as it should have been.
