Eddie:
I like this topic, although the list elves may not.  But let me say
that I think the original titles already do a remarkable job of
capturing the essential element of each of the stories: the
item/person that was sought, feared, wondered about, etc.  And in each
case, once the thing was acquired/found/etc. then some new important
knowledge was received that set the stage for the next book.  Perhaps
only the Order of the Phoenix doesn't accomplish this as well.  For
that, I'd rename it "Harry Potter and the Fateful Hall"... referring
to the hallway leading to the Department of Mysteries as well as the
Hall of Prophecies.

But in the spirit of the game:

SS:  Harry Potter 1: The Boy Who Lived
CS:  Harry Potter 2: The Heir Who Returned
POA: Harry Potter 3: The Prisoner Who Escaped
GOF: Harry Potter 4: The Champion Who Wasn't
OOP: Harry Potter 5: The Inquisitor Who Ruled
HBP: Harry Potter 6: The Prince Who Fled
DH:  Harry Potter 7: The Wizard Who Died

or...

SS:  Harry Potter and Fluffy the 3-Headed Dog
CS:  Harry Potter and Tom the Unexpected Friend
POA: Harry Potter and Sirius the Desperate Man
GOF: Harry Potter and Cedric, Fleur, and Krum
OOP: Harry Potter and Delores the High Inquisitor
HBP: Harry Potter and Prince the Potion Maker
DH:  Harry Potter and Voldemort the Dark Lord

or...

SS:  Harry Potter and The Blood Bath
CS:  Harry Potter and The Bloodier Bath
POA: Harry Potter and The Bloodiest Bath
GOF: Harry Potter and No, Really, this is Bloodier than Before
OOP: Harry Potter and You aren't going to believe how Bloody this is
HBP: Harry Potter and You want Blood? I've got your Blood Right Here
DH:  Harry Potter and Thank Heavens this is the last Bloody Book


Good thing JKRowling didn't ask my opinion.
