Could the secret of Harry Potter be out? Britain's usually reliable Sunday Telegraph may have spilled the beans yesterday when it revealed what it says is the title of the new Harry Potter book. (Spoiler's alert: It's said to be "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.") The name was to have been kept under wraps until 3.8 million copies of the book, the fourth installment of Scottish author J.K. Rowling's mega-successful series about the boy wizard, reach the world's public at one minute past midnight on Saturday, July 8. During the six-week editing process of the book, reported the Telegraph, editor Emma Mathewson says she was attacked and had her car broken into -- twice. Now that the title is out, the Telegraph noted, the publishing world is in an "uproar."
