OMG! I find that just hillarious...i'm a big fan of He-Man...what a small world - it's funny to see how two totally different interests of mine are somehow related. I wonder why JKR released a title before researching it though...that just doesn't seem like an intelligent thing for authors to do. Does it happen often (title changing)? Do you think the former users of the word "Doomspell" contacted her after she released the title and said "no no"?
