I personally think that it's not a great title. But what are your thoughts on title? If you can, come up with a title you'd prefer.

I would have liked Harry Potter and the Tri-Wizard Tournament, as was one of JKR's alternative choices. But I don't not like the title.

I was thinking Harry Potter and the Triwizard Tournament

Just like I thought the fifth book should be Harry Potter and the Department of Mysteries

Though it is an alright title I guess.

I think that it's an alright title, mostly because Harry Potter and the Triwizard Tournament would've given it all away. But i don't think it should've been goblet of fire. it should've been Harry Potter and the Gigantic Maze or something like that.

Sorry, I can't think of any alternatives, but I'll edit my message when I do.

I wasn't a huge fan of the titles, but they've grown on me. Perhaps its due to the lack of creativity on my part.

i dont dislike the title, i just dont think it's appropiate
i mean, the goblet was such a small part of the book that it doesn't seem right that it should be given the book's title

yeah, im guessing hp and the triwizard tournament would have been the best way to go for jo

I think GoF is great! If it would be Triwizard tournament then it would be clear that there`s going to be some kind of tournament. But GoF makes us wonder what is that Goblet and what does it do, you know?
I don`t know which other title would be good enough.

It's ok to me. Harry Potter and the Triwizard Tournament would make a good name for a re-make years from now.

No, I don't like the title. If you haven't read the book yet, the title sounds great. But after you read it... the 'Goblet of Fire' wasn't really the centre of things in the story.

I would've preferred Harry Potter and the Triwizard Tournament/Cup.

I don't really care much about the title since I knew it was going to be good cause it was Harry Potter. But I think Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a perfectly fine title.
