8. There Were Several Alternative Titles For Goblet Of Fire
The fourth in the series, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, was very nearly named something very different. Before the official title announcement, the book was listed at online retailers as Harry Potter and the Doomspell Tournament. In an interview, Rowling claimed that she also considered calling the book Harry Potter and the Triwizard Tournament, after the competition at the center of the book’s plot.
In J K Rowling; A Bibliography, it is revealed that the author had another three alternate titles for the book, before settling on ‘Goblet of Fire’. The other options were: Harry Potter and the Death Eaters, Harry Potter and the Fire Goblet, and Harry Potter and the Three Champions.
