Well we know someone will die, but I doubt highly that it will be Harry! Well it better not be! I can not fathom her killing Harry Potter! Let's not think about this anymore

A Tolkien Compass: Including J. R. R. Tolkien's Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings - Page 130
by Jared Lobdell - 2003 - 208 pages
"down to the Hallows, the houses of the dead"
"deathly towers"
Interesting? Here come the Hobbits?
But Pleiades (the star cluster) is associated with "All Hallows"
Day and the Celts.
Then we have "The Grail"??

There are many things that the title could be refering to, personally I think that 'Hallows' is refering to some kind of holy object(s) or maybe even people and by 'Deathly' it just means that the objects or people are dangerous. 'Hallows' could also be refering to All Hallows Eve (Halloween) and meaning that someting deadly is going to happen on that night. I guess we'll just have to wait until the book comes and we can find out for sure! But in the meantime I bet everyone is going to have lots of fun speculating!

Deathly Hallows sounds like a place or places
most people think of the word "hollows"
but hallows actually means almost the same thing
Hollows are places in the deep or dug out
Hallows are the same thing only they are unsanctified or unholy grounds. Sounds really spooky doesn't it

The term HALLOWS could be referencing the remaining Horcruxes. In a certain light, they could be seen as hallowed or sacred, because with their destruction comes the downfall of evil. And we already know that the horcruxes can be DEADLY. Just look at what Dumbledore had to do to access one of them. I just wonder why she used the term DEATHLY instead of DEADLY. There has to be a reason. The only difference that I can find is that DEADLY refers to something that is able to cause death, while DEATHLY simply refers to something that is associated with death, not just something that can kill you.

Hah i think that she chose that title because she's a writer and realized that it would spark interest. Seems like she's just fed up with writing this series.
Deathly hallows... hah! look up both words and try to fathom this title. She's just having fun. Godspeed, Mrs. Rowling.

'hallow' is an old name for 'saint'
Just like Halloween used to be All Hallows Eve, which is the night before All Hallows Day, which is also called All Saints Day.

It could be one of several things. The deathly hallows could be deadly/dangerous sacred objects, or deadly/dangerous powerful spirits/saints/angels--though saints and angels have not appeared in JRK's universe yet, and I'm inclined to think they won't. Or could the "hallows" be a ceremony or ritual--perhaps performed by Voldemort?
We'll have to wait and see.

Hmmm... Harry mentioned in the last book that he was going to go to Godric's Hollow, where his parents once lived, so I would guess that someone dies there. Merry Christmas!

Don't know, maybe a killing spree on Halloween?
