Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the most guessed Harry Potter book- HOW?

I'm guessing it's because people tend to guess the earlier books. However the Sorcerer's Stone/Philosopher's stone title discrepancy probably stopped that book from being the most guessed (or maybe from just the spelling) so the next book in line is Chamber of Secrets.

Not surprisingly, every single one of these has been made into a film.

I was disappointed that "orient express" wasn't accepted for "murder on the orient express".

@WyattsTorch The Cat in the Hat was never made into a movie. Any attempt to convince me otherwise and I will put my hands on my hears and yell.

I thought the most guessed Charles Dickens novel would be A Tale of Two Cities. I guess Oliver Twist is a good one too though.

Harry Potter is not an author. It should say JK Rowling Book.

@Cooker: Are you seriously trying to tell us that "J. K. Rowling" isn't just a pen name for The Boy Who Lived? Tsk tsk tsk.

The first rule of chuck palahniuk is you don't talk about chuck palahniuk. Which is probably why I only missed that one.

Almost there except my hunt for the Hunt for Red October took a fraction too long.

The column should be headed by "category", not "catagory".

Could you accept Huck Finn? That's what I've always called it--and it IS the right answer.

Although I will probably get many negative points. Can someone explain to me why the preposition from agatha christies book is "on" instead of "in". I missed this one, because for me "on" is outside of, although in contact with it, and "in" is inside of (at least that's how I learned it).

Exobius: It's just basic English idiom. You ride "on a train". Yes, you also ride "in" the train, and it's not wrong to say so, but it's common to say you ride "on" the train like you'd ride "on" a horse or a motorcycle. (I might add that not all train cars are enclosed.)

@Exobius: Because "Snakes In A Plane" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

@all; I've replaced 'Harry Potter' with 'JK Rowling' and corrected the spelling of category in the title.

Interesting way to think about books. I don't know how many times I stared at "A Christmas Carol" not understanding why it wasn't going. haha, oh he wrote other books too?
