What a crap title!! no offense to jk but come on surely she could have come up with something better than Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow

You should spoiler the title, some people don't want to know
I'm excited I like it, but it could have been better. Still, I'm excited!

How Come I cant drag the key?

I don't usually trust "title revealed" kinda news until the book is out, after some of the past ones. lol.

Okay, I clicked the Bristish version of the site, and it worked... weird much?

Good name with good forshadowing.

actually she has. she's released hoax names before, I honestly can't tell you what it was off the top of my head, but tons of ppl were claiming that it was a new title, and she ripped on them on her own website in the news area. It was hilarious.

Until I have a copy of the new book in my hands, I don't trust news on the new book. Besides, it just leaves me hanging on what's going on, that's why I quit going on harry potter news sites. Why read speculation when you can wait and read the real thing?

but then again, that's just my opinion, and i've been rather cynical as of late.

Jack'o Lanternsrug? Well, who else has died on Halloween? Deathly Hallow. Dealthy is describing Hallow. But what is a hallow? In interpretations I would say Halloween but also a ghost. Mixing the two together, Nearly Headless Nick. I mean, come on, they have to have him in there for a reason.

I have two explanations for a hallow, but I'd rather put them in spoilers. So... how do I do them again?

Ah okay. Ideas away then.

Hallow
–verb (used with object) 1. to make holy; sanctify; consecrate.
2. to honor as holy; consider sacred; venerate: to hallow a battlefield.

But she's using it as a noun here, so it must mean a place that's sacred? So the deathly places that are sacred? Herm... What wizard places are sacred? That last "battlefield" part intrigues me a lot, maybe something to do with Dumbledore and Grindlewald? Or maybe it's just the final battle grounds that are "hallowed?" Oh so juicy!

And this one came up with a bit more research...

Hallows = Treasures or Vessels sought by Grail seekers, (Hallowed Objects)

The four hallows of the Tuatha de Danaan were developed in later traditions to be the four symbols of magical elements, to also be seen on Tarot packs as the four suits:

1. The Sword;
2. The Spear;
3. The Cup;
4. The Pentacle.

So I think Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is reaffirming Harry searching for the last 4 Horcruxes, each task being a deathly one that he must overcome. Perhaps they're four things of the founders? But Dumbledore said it was very unlikely Gryffindor's sword (1. The Sword) would be a Horcrux. But then, Dumbledore said himself he made mistakes like everyone else, the mistakes he made were just larger... The locket's already gone, that was Slytherin's, could that have been the Pentacle? And then the Spear... well now I'm just speculating. But I do like this second theory WAY MUCH.

No I know the definition I mean for the book whats it spose 2 mean

We are trying to figure it out.

yea I figured lol it was a retorical question I'm tryin 2 figure it out 2

I like the Hallow meaning the last 4 horcruxes theory

im gonna stick w/ that one

cool yea i think i will 2

I have to be honest and say that I was a wee bit disapointed in the title. I think I've heard some better rumored titles that I liked more, like "Forest of Shadows" and things like that. But yeah, it's growing on me.

But someone googled this title and they said that that Hallows was the beginning of the witches year where the veil between the worlds grows thin and the dead may return to earth. What do you think of this? Could the veil play a major role in this book? Is it possible that a lot of dead characters are going to be able to come back to earth? That would give more efficense of the "Deathly" Hallows.

Thats what I was thinking but it could just mean that a dead person (Nick?) is going to be greatly involved...

i think this name means Hermione is gonna die, he's going to see his parents or sirius or someone like that again and he's going to die in the final battle which will be held in some graveyard theres my prediction wahoo that took me like 2 minutes

Jo Rowling said on Halloween that she was debating between three possible titles for the seventh and final Harry Potter book, and although she announced on her website on Thursday that she's decided upon Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, we may now know the other two potential titles. Field Fisher Waterhouse, the same company that registered the title "Deathly Hallows" on December 5, also registered two others - "Heart of Ravenclaw" and "Deadly Veil" - on the same day. Of course, do bear in mind the plausibility of Jo actually registering the two other, possibly more revealing titles, which is rather low.

It's also worth noting that Field Fisher Waterhouse registered the titles Harry Potter and the Hogwarts Hallows and Harry Potter and the Hallows of Hogwarts on July 24, 2003.

Update: TLC has received word from a spokesman of Jo's, who said that neither "Heart of Ravenclaw" nor "Deadly Veil" were ever contenders for the book 7 title.

- Veritaserum

So, does this mean the Deadly Hallows are in Hogwarts?

That's like saying: "I think Clifford the Big red Dog is about a Bid Red Dog. 13"

Exactly. If I don't guess at anything that's not obvious, I can't be wrong.

And watch it be about fairies and happy things and Voldemort turns out to be a good guy and gay. Yea.... irony. Gotta love it.

That would be very disappointing.

Yeah, but you won't be impressive either.

I did a little more research on my theory. The "Spears" suit of Tarot is sometimes called the "Wands" suit. Perhaps Ravenclaw's Horcrux could be Ravenclaw's wand?

And then I got to feeling really creative... what if Lily was in Ravenclaw? I mean, it never actually says what House she's in in the books, her wand was really good for charms work, remember? And Prof Sprout, the Head of Ravenclaw, is the Charms teacher.

So that would involve Lily in a big way, and would solve Ravenclaw's Horcrux.

And I'm getting really proud of my thinking skills...

That is a good guess.

Yeah, Sprout is in Hufflepuff, but I still like your theory. That would very much involve Lily......plus, you're right, James was in Gryffindor but JK hasn't actually said what house Lily was from. At least, I don't recall it very saying that.

Whoops. a Mistype. I meant Flitwick. Oh pooh anyway. Well still, could Lily have inherited Ravenclaw's wand while being in Gryffindor? After all, it was "very swishy and good for Charms work."

and for people who think they kno everything

people like me

oh

i have another theory

ok, so, no animagus that we kno of has children, save for James right?

and Harry has some "inheritance" of his fathers traits (his patronus)

i think that Lily was/is an animagus and that she passed it down to Harry, and what is so important about Harry having his mothers eyes is that her eyes are her markings when she turns into whatever animal

so....see anything wrong?

Not necessary Nickey. Please be respectful.

I found something on Mugglenet that might help with this.

"Harry Potter und die todbringenden Heiligen" (German)
"Harry Potter et les saints mortuaires/mortels" (French, "Deathly/Mortal Saints"
"Harry Potter y los santos de la muerte" (Spanish, "Saints of Death"
"Harry Potter e l rito moratle" (Italian, "Deadly Ritual"
"Harry Potter e os Santos Mortuários" (Portuguese, "Deathly Saints"
"Harry Potter ve Olumcul Takdis" (Turkish, "Deadly Blessing"
"Hari Poter i Smrtonosni Blagoslovi" (Serbian)
"Harry Potter si Ingerii Mortii" (Romanian, "Angels of Death"
"Harry Potter i sveci smrtnici" (Croatian, "Mortal Saints"
"Harry Potter ve Ruchot Hamavet" (Hebrew, "Spirits of Death"

Please be reminded that these are only tentative titles..."

Ok,death (obviously) and maybe something with saints and/or spirits.
Could this help us at all?

nooo clue...i havent read the whole thread..because im lazy and tired...but anyway im having the stating the obvious idea that the "Deathly Hallows"....is the place of the final fight scene !TADAA..between harry and snolderholt...

Because he's a member here. You know that saying: 'Treat others as you would like to be treated.'?

It's just what you do.

Do you say hi to people on the street you don't know? Do you hold the door open for them, or stop to help them if you think they need it? It all goes together, like Pumpkin Juice and Pumpkin Pasties.

Actually, It might be a little different, I just felt like saying that. herbnone

It says at Mugglenet:
"Although no release date has been announced, the UK's Royal Mail is already undergoing preparation for the task of delivering Deathly Hallows.

Planning will commence with online retailers next month, and pre-orders are expected to be just as high as the 500,000 for Book 6. "This kind of operation takes a lot of planning," said a Royal Mail spokesman.

UK fans can pre-order the book now at Amazon.co.uk."

"The Heart of Ravenclaw" as an alternate title she put down...?

*is about to go into theory mode again*

So Lily was supposed to be in Ravenclaw, and she's always said to be extremely kind and caring... (heart).

okay. I don't know if even I can twist this one.

I always thought that Harry's eyes being exactly like his mother was a bit of a deeper thing, like he had some qualities of her in him. But the patronus/animagus idea is interesting, it makes sense that Harry would want to pursue that path, but it took even the Marauders till their fifth year (?) well, at least a long time, for them to learn how to be Animagi. I dunno if, even with Hermione's wonderful help, if they could manage to do it in less, as in a year.

mhm

well, mabye she did start learning early, and she didnt tell anyone

also, i think that may be what the slytherin thing was w/ lily, maybe she can turn into a snake, or maybe im just off my rocker and outta my mind, idk
