JK Rowling's new bibliography will reveal many 'Harry Potter' secrets including alternative title ideas, it has been reported.
Philip Errington's comprehensive 'JK Rowling: A Bibliography 1998-2013' details all the workings of the author's bestselling novels, including correspondence with her editor and revisions, the Independent reported.
The fourth instalment, released in 2000, was almost called 'Harry Potter and the Death Eaters,' 'Harry Potter and the Three Champions' or 'Harry Potter and the Fire Goblet.'
It also mentioned that Rowling was less keen on the edits to 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,' however, which she claimed made her "sick of it".
Rowling has voiced her respect for Errington's 544-page work, writing that she was in awe of the level of detail and amount of time he has dedicated to this slavishly thorough and somewhat mind-boggling bibliography.
