    The next installment of the series is Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. If you see a new Potter book without that title, it's obviously a fake.

    Personally, if I was going to write a fake Potter book, I'd kill off Dumbledore (i.e. the Hogwarts safety net) and make Harry dabble a little in dark magic.

    Yeah I went to an HP message board one time and they had a thread going called "Alternate Titles for HP books". I submitted "HP and the Chambermaid of Secrets", as well as, a few others. They did not appreciate my humor though because mine kept getting erased.

    Well... if, say, Voldemort killed off Ron, thereby enraging Harry and turning him to the Dark Side of... ahem... Magic, then that would be like Star Wars.

    Isn't everything ultimately like Star Wars, though? :)

    I say kill off Dumbledore because as long as he's around, no real damage (i.e. students and teachers in mortal danger, destruction of Hogwarts, Voldemort's terror unleashed, etc.) can be done. Suuuuure, Harry's in danger, but we all know Dumbledore (the only man who can stand toe-to-toe with Voldemort) will eventually save him. But... if he's not around....

    I like the title of the fake one:

    Harry Potter And Leopard Walk Up To Dragon


    Kinda like the book that Jimmy James wrote on News Radio that was translated into Japanese and then back to English:

    Macho Business Donkey Wrestler

    I was more thinking along the lines

    Obiwan=Dumbledore.....teachers

    Harry=Luke...he was angry in Jedi, he'd so be a dark Jedi if his dad didn't save his butt.

    Vader=Voldermort...he did cut off luke's hand vs the scar

    Anakin (from a certain point of view)=Harry's parents.. both killed

    Ron=Solo without the charisma

    Hermione=leia you gotta know these two are gonna hook up like leia and solo plus they both have that I'm a little perfect princess attitude in the first movies.

    Yeah, the books are making it seem Ron and Hermione will eventually hook up. Word is, Harry's girl will eventually be Ron's sister Ginny.
