Presumably it was in a file-folder which beached rules for the size of 
items allowed to be taken into the cabin. Finally allowed when the
manuscript had a couple of rubber bands stretched round it, according
to the BBC.  

The same report also stated that she was struck by an alternative idea
for the title while in the shower. 
HP and the Loofah of Doom? 
HP and the Shower-cap of Destiny?

And I've seen onn the web that the title for the *eighth* volume will be: 
HP and the Sequel of Profitability.
Tut, tut.
