Ok many crucial things happened there and most likelly everything will finish there:
1.Approximately a week before the attack, Dumbledore suggests that the Potters use the Fidelius Charm to protect their hiding place.
2. There is some mystery about what happened to the house. We know that other Killing Curses did not damage the structure or the bodies (Riddle House murders, for example); normally it kills but does not leave visible trauma. And yet, Hagrid reports to Dumbledore that the house was "almost" destroyed (PS1); he also tells Harry that an "evil curse" destroyed the house (PS4).
Commentary: On the other hand, we have seen numerous instances where rebounding, ricocheting, or misaimed curses cause considerable damage: Lockhart's rebounding Memory Charm in the Chamber of Secrets which caved the roof in so badly it blocked the tunnel (CS16), richocheting Stunning Spells break marble statues when the Death Eaters attempt to catch Harry (GF34), ricocheting curses break the Gryffindor hourglass and crack stone when the Death Eaters broke into Hogwarts (HBP); misaimed curses set a desk afire and shatter statues in the Department of Mysteries (OP36).
Where is Dumbledore?
Jo has never told us where Dumbledore was or what he was doing between the news of the deaths of the Potters and his arrival at Privet Drive at midnight on November 1st.
3. Hagrid arrives at the Hollow. We don't know how Dumbledore knew what happened, but sometime in the very early morning hours, Dumbledore sends Rubeus Hagrid to Godric’s Hollow. As best we know, Hagrid is first on the scene. We do not know how he travels there, but he gets there so quickly that he is able to rescue Harry from the ruins of the house just before Muggles start "swarming around."
4.Harry will go back to the Dursleys one last time before his 17th birthday. He plans to visit Godric's Hollow and also to attend Bill and Fleur's wedding in July.
I agree that none of the Killing curses that we have yet been introduced to are know to have the consequence of blowing up an entire house and i believe that the destruction was cause by the curse rebounding of Harry. I think that having left if so so long to actually Harry even think about visiting Godric's Hollow im praying that we'll find some tasty info out, after all in the JK interview in July the last question asked if anyone else was present on the night of James and Lily's murder....Jks reply: No comment. So im looking forward to it......I cant wait for the wedding also, I hope that whilst it resemble a "normal" wedding (whatever that may be) I hope that it's full of magical tendencies!!
If JKR said no comment to that question I think there was another person present when the Potter's were killed. Who could it have been? Dumbledore, Hagrid, Sirius Black? Snape? I think that whoever was present will end up teling Harry about his parent's (if they're not dead)... jobs, history etc...
If anyone has any ideas about who it could have been please reply.
There's no connection, it's Godric's Hollow and Deathly Hallows.
People are speculating that the deathly hallows refer to the Horcruxes. I agree, for a couple of reasons.
Someone on leaky lounge posted something like this:
The hallows could refer to the four hallows of Arthurian legend. They're intimately connected to the Grail, and ultimately probably go back to the four treasure of Tuatha de Danaan of Irish Smith. The four hallows are the cup or chalice, the baton or wand, the sword or dagger, and the coin, disc or pentacle. I think we were right all along in connecting the Horcruxes to the four elements. These hallows are associated with the elements and match quite up nicely to the four remaining Horcruxes; the cup of Helga Hufflepuff, the baton or wand of Rowena Ravenclaw, the sword of dagger of Godric Gryffindor, the pentacle of Salazar Slytherin, meaning the locket.
Also, to hallow something is to make holy or consecrate.
I hope it's not a place
What happened to that thing, anyway? (The motorcycle.)
Also, didn't Hagrid say that Godric's Hollow was destroyed and the house collapsed? How was that, I mean, AK doesn't destroy anything other than people. So do you think there was some sort of duel?
It may just be me, but I believe "the Deathly Hallows" may be people.
"Hallow" is also an old word for "Holy Person; Saint," and derives from the O.E. word hálga. The holiday-name "Hallowe'en" is a contraction of "All-Hallow's Eve" or "All-Hallow's Even," which is the opposite of "All-Saint's Day."
"Deathly Hallows" may also be some sort of a reference to "(the) Death Eaters."
Wa, I don't think so, but follwoing your lines it may bea reference to the dead members of the Orders. Cause DE can not be saints, not under any definitions.
