| Harry Potter book titles Book 1: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone He hopes hard not to prosper at Slytherin When Harry is in the Great Hall with all the other first years being sorted into the four houses by the Sorting Hat, Harry is desparately hoping that the Sorting Hat does not place him in Slytherin house. The hat is suggesting that Harry would do well in Slytherin and Harry keeps repeating in a whisper 'Not Slytherin'. Propped hat sorts a hero: “Not Slytherin, eh?” This anagram is even more uncanny than the first. When Harry is saying 'Not Slytherin", the Sorting Hat, which is 'propped' on his head retorts "Not Slytherin, eh?" exactly as above. Book 1: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (alternative title) Ron enters a trap door – Try chess there This one is grammatically weak but good in its content. Ron went through the trap door under Fluffy with Harry and Hermione. They eventually got to a giant chess set and Ron, being the best player of the three, captained the game of wizard's chess which they needed to win in order to get past. S.O.S. – Three enter trap door – crash entry Not bad. When they went through the trap door, they crash landed on a giant plant called Devil's snare. Book 2: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Breached the trap for the scary monster Beneath Hogwarts, in the Chamber of Secrets, there is indeed a monster called a basilisk. The word trap is suspicious here. There was a secret entrance to the Chamber in an unused girl's bathroom. Trap can mean trap door, like the one under Fluffy in book 1. Trap can also mean snare. Neither definition comfortably fits the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets but it is close. Book 3: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban OK, nab hairy pet rat of Ron, present hazard. The word Azkaban made this title a little harder than the first two but this anagram tells a story. Ron's rat Scabbers, which he had kept for twelve years was actually an animagus, that is a witch or wizard that could change into an animal. He was a faithful servant of Voldemort and could definitely be seen as a hazard. The betrayer rat of Ron zaps an orphan kid. Structurally, this anagram is better than the first. As far as content, the rat, named Peter Pettigrew, betrayed Harry's parents. It led to their killing and hence, Harry was left an orphan. Technically, Pettigrew doesn't ever 'zap' Harry in The Prisoner of Azkaban, although he does use his wand against Harry in The Goblet of Fire. Book 4: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Fitter hero got near fabled trophy. Another eerily descriptive anagram. Clearly this anagram describes the third and final task of the school champions. It is a maze filled with challenges and the first to solve it will find the TriWizard Cup, which could be described as a fabled trophy. The book and film differ greatly when it comes to the maze. In the book, it is a challenge based on wits, cleverness, magical skill, etc. In the very inferior film version, it looks like some sort of athletic event, mainly just running. Bolt per the threat of fiery dragon. This anagram suits the movie version perfectly. The first task was to steal a golden egg from a dragon. In the movie version a long chase ensued with the dragon following Harry all over the Hogwarts property (rather silly compared to the book). Bolt can mean to take sudden flight or escape, which Harry certainly did and per can mean ‘in accordance with’. The added bonus of the word bolt is that Harry was using a Firebolt broom to make his hasty retreat. Although the anagram sounds a little stilted, it is flawless as far as grammar and content. Oh, Potter felt fiery dragon breath. On the same theme as the previous anagram, the only weak element is the use of the word Potter. Galen prefers not to use words in an anagram that are in the subject, although it is still a perfectly acceptable anagram. Book 5: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Deride Harry, an honor of the Prophet text In the fifth book, The Daily Prophet loves to deride Harry and mercilessly portrays him as a liar and an attention seeker. This anagram is not grammatically sound. Irony: The Prophet extra hard on deft hero This anagram continues with the same theme as the one above but it has better wording. They prepared next hit on horror of death. This anagram is suggestive of the DA preparing for their eventual encounter with the Death Eaters. Galen intends to mine this thread again in the future, believing an improvement on the above anagram could probably be found. Book 6: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Plan to help thin boy - faced hard terror This anagram is more general than the other ones, in that it could apply to any of the books and does not relate specifically to The Half-Blood Prince. Although Dumbledore's death was a pretty hard terror. Book 7: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Worthy hero’s plan - Halt deadly threat. This book focuses on the bid of Harry (the worthy hero) to find and destroy the remaining horcruxes and ultimately destroy Voldemort (the deadly threat). Hey, they had to thwart real lord’s plan. This is a neat twist on the first anagram, referring to Voldemort's plan rather than Harry's plan. |
