HARRY Potter author JK Rowling has revealed the secret title of the eagerly-awaited sixth book.
It will be Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. The title was uncovered on the author’s website yesterday by thousands of fans who followed clues.
A message from Rowling, 39, read: “Well, the door opened at last and I showed you the title of Book Six — the title I have been using in my head for ages.”
In Potterspeak a half-blood is the offspring of a wizard or witch and a Muggle or Muggle-born — like both Harry and his arch enemy Lord Voldemort.
But the author added: “The HBP is neither Harry nor Lord Voldemort. And that’s all I am saying on THAT subject until the book is published.”
Rowling is still writing the book and no release date has been set, said a spokesman for her literary agent — who confirmed the title.
Rowling also dismissed as a hoax rumours that the book was to be titled The Piller Of Storge.
She said: “I nearly fell off my chair giggling when I read that one — and I didn’t change the title because I was ‘found out’.”
