I can't unremember who it is before I read, so some elements of the book are read differently, but there's no way for me to know how the revelation would have been (for me) since I already knew.It seemed very sudden to me, the revelation. He just kind of yells it out, without much reason to.That said, the titles aren't all central to the book. The Philosophers Stone is an item in the story, as is the Goblet of Fire, but neither is really central IMO. Prisoner of Azkaban and Order of the Phoenix are more central, but again they're nothing revealing. Chamber of Secrets as well. HBP is important because of Snapes role in the book, but it's not central, no. I'd say it's more central than Goblet of Fire was to HP4 though.Besides, it's not hard to imagine why she chose it over "Harry Potter and Dumbledore DIES!", the cover could have been a big tombstone for Dumbledore! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
