J.K.Rowling Nearly Broke The Internet When She Dared Her Followers To Guess The Name Of Her New Book
But "Woohoo, Chips" is SUCH a great name for a novel.
J.K. Rowling sure knows how to send twitter into chaos, doesn’t she?
If she’s not shutting down rumours of a Harry Potter reunion (and for the record, our hearts are still breaking), then she’s got her Twitter followers guessing the name of her new book.

The book will be the fourth entry into her Cormoran Strike series - three of which she has previously written under the pseudonym name of Robert Galbraith.
Not going to lie though, the other guesses really did make our day.

Afghan Ahead?
Mighty Chimp?
Python Shame?
Our favourite one was 'Eighth Child' - an ode to the Weasley's and their seven kids?
