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.

Sorry I've never done spoilers before, how do you do them?
Originally posted by Demonic PhoenixWell, 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.
He's already bitten the dustpetpetJack'o Lanternsrug😛?
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.
