Harry Potter: A History of Magic

Thanks, Connie. I always seem to ha..."
I am always happy to answer questions!
The title with the colon would certainly be okay because when you look it up on Goodreads it is all part of the title.
From my research, hyphenated words are considered as one word.
Therefore, "one-in-a-million" would only be one word and the title isn't long enough.
I hope this helps.
