Sooooo...New Title

I’m suspicious.

This probably sounds incredibly stupid and most likely is. But…

It doesn’t feel right, not when compared to the titles of previous books. There's never been an adjective before. It wasn’t Harry Potter and the Terribly Secret Chamber.

Have we got confirmation from the publishers? Or JKR? All the reports I've come across are only going by the website.

ETA: Okay, so it's use has been pretty widespread and there's been usuage by the publishers.

Still it just doesn’t seem to match the pattern. Maybe I just want to find fault because I don't particularly like it.

Not that I can speak. Some of my fics have truly awful titles.

EATA: Adverb? Adjective? All I know it is ain't a noun, that I suck and that my various English teachers should be fired.

I'm sure it'll be enjoyable. As well as emotionally exhausting. I'm going to try so hard not to be spoiled this year. Last time, I wound up not being able to sleep the night before (for other reasons) and found spoilers on LJ so by the time I actually had the book in my hand, I knew it all and it was a real let down.
