Harry Potter and the Pillar of Storgé
Note: This title remains a rumor and is unconfirmed by JK Rowling and her publishers.
- Storgé is one of the four Greek types of love. It is "Family Love," between parents and children, but also among close relatives. The other types of love are Agápe (unselfish, unconditional love), Philía Love (platonic love), and Éros (love that accompanies physical attraction).
- This title, if accurate, relates directly to Chamber of Secrets and Order of the Phoenix. These are the only two books of the five that include the word "pillar" at least once.
- Total number of times the word "pillar" is mentioned in the first five Harry Potter books: 11.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Chapter 17 - The Heir of Slytherin: "He was standing at the end of a very long, dimly lit chamber. Towering stone pillars entwined with more carved serpents rose to support a ceiling lost in darkness, casting long, black shadows through the odd, greenish gloom that filled the place."
The word "pillar" is used seven more times in the second book, all merely mentions of a pillar, with no significance. "Flames erupted at the top" of a pillar while Harry was in the Chamber of Secrets.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Chapter 11 - The Sorting Hat's New Song: "Rattling and swaying, the carriages moved in convoy up the road. When they passed between the tall stone pillars topped with winged boars on either side of the gates to the school grounds, Harry leaned forwards to try and see whether there were any lights on in Hagrid's cabin by the Forbidden Forest, but the grounds were in complete darkness. Hogwarts Castle, however, loomed ever closer: a towering mass of turrets, jet black against the dark sky, here and there a window blazing fiery bright above them."
Chapter 11 - The Sorting Hat's New Song:
"...So Hogwarts worked in harmony
For several happy years,
But then discord crept among us
Feeding on our faults and fears.
The houses that, like pillars four,
Had once held up our school,
Now turned upon each other and,
Divided, sought to rule..."
Chapter 16 - In The Hog's Head: "They walked between the tall stone pillars topped with winged boars and turned left on to the road into the village, the wind whipping their hair into their eyes."
