I have to say although I agree it is odd that it should be called 
that when the goblit is mentioned in one chapter, it is hugely 
important. But the main point I wanted to say is in relation to PS 
and GF. I founb when I was reading PS for the frist time that it was 
a little dissapointing for two reasons:
1: There is the big mystery about what is so strange about "the 
potters" but we already know what it is as it says on the back of the 
book "Harry Potter is a wizard" so that ruins that surprise.

2: What is it that is hiding in gringotts and is moved to Hogwarts? 
Hmm, well know the title is "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's 
Stons" I wonder what that package could be. I know that some people 
didn't work it out, but the moment it mentioned the "Grubby little 
package" I knew what was in it.

I think if she had called it "Harry Potter and the Tri-Wizard 
tournament" or "Harry Potter and the Doomspell Tournement" (the 
working title) it would have had the same affect as all that stuff 
with the Weasley's not telling Harry, Ron and Hermione what was going 
on at Hogwarts would have been pointless because we would know what 
was going on. In that part of the book, she has us hanging on to find 
out what is going on just as much as those three (plus Fred, George 
and Ginny). So I am actually glad that she called it that, even 
though it does not make much sense in terms of only being in one 
chapter!
