Harry Potter and the Alchemist's Cell - HELLO

[Erika J]

Just saying hello to everyone, I am new here. I was on the HPFGU group for 
a while and decided to see what this group is all about. Been a big Harry 
Potter fan both books and movie from the beginning. Hope to be able to 
contribute and join in on the discussions! To start, got this news today 
from my PEOPLE daily email subscription, hope I am not repeating any 
previous posts:

Even More Harry Potter Than Expected?
Good news for Harry Potter fans: Three new titles in J.K.
Rowling's boy-wizard book series have been registered in the
UK Patent Office, the Scotsman newspaper reports. Last
month, Rowling said she was near completing the long-awaited
fifth installment, "Harry Potter and the Order of the
Phoenix." She has long stated that there would only be two
more after that. But the Scotsman reports that Hollywood
studio Warner Bros. (which, like PEOPLE, is part of AOL Time
Warner), has registered three more Harry Potter titles as
trademarks, raising the possibility of an eighth volume, at
least. A Reuters search of the UK Patent Office
trademark database confirmed the extra titles as "Harry
Potter and the Alchemist's Cell," "Harry Potter and the
Chariots of Light" and "Harry Potter and the Pyramids of
Furmat." The news service does point out, however, that
the extra titles do not necessarily indicate plans for an
eighth volume or if they were registered as possible
alternative names for the remaining Potter books. Warner
Bros. could not immediately be reached for comment. The
studio registered the titles in April 2000, shortly before
the publication of the fourth book, "Harry Potter and the
Goblet of Fire," whose title was also filed at the same
time, according to the records. Warners reportedly filed
"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" for registration
as a trademark in October 2000. Meanwhile, the second
film in the series, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of
Secrets" opens in Britain and the U.S. on Nov. 15.
