Book titles

Hey all. Hoping here that this is OT enough not to attract the wrath 
of the List Elves. I was thinking about the book titles and how they 
related to the stories that they belonged to. Here's a quick 
summation (not that you guys need it, but just to show my point): 

Sorcerer's/Philospher's Stone: This is what was being hidden at 
Hogwarts, a massive plot point, obviously, and what HRH and DD were 
so keen to keep away from LV and Quirell (well, Snape, actually, but 
y'all know that). It gets destroyed at the end of the book. 

Chamber of Secrets: Where the Basilisk was hidden, and very nearly 
where Harry and Ginny could have died. Also a massive plot point, 
and as far as we know it still exists. 

Prisoner of Azkaban: The only novel named after a character (with 
the exception of Harry), one who, like the Chamber and the Stone, 
isn't even physically seen until the very last chapters. He is, 
sadly, like the Stone, no longer with us. 

Goblet of Fire: A relatively minor player in the novel, the Goblet's 
one reason for involvement in the plot is to be hoodwinked by Crouch!
Moody and get Harry into the tournament. I always thought that HP 
and the Triwizard Tournament would have been a better title, just 
because the TT is far more integral to the plot than the Goblet 
itslef. The Goblet is seen relatively early in the action and not 
seen again. 

Order of the Phoenix: The group dedicated to the eradication of LV 
and only the second title to be mentioned in a previous book (called 
the "old crowd" in GoF, Sirius' mention in SS being the other). The 
Order plays, like the Goblet, a relatively small part in the novel, 
being seen only at the begining and the end. The Order is, as far as 
we know, still in exsistence, and will probably play a huge role in 
the upcoming books. 

So what can we deduce from HP and the Half Blood Prince? Well, who 
ever it is doesn't stand a good chance for survival: the Prisoner of 
Azkaban has allready died, as have a few members of the Order. Any 
other thoughts related to the title? Could the Chamber (or even the 
Stone or the Goblet) be back for more action? Who knows?
