> A "hallow" can also be a physical object.  New Age movement versions

> associated with Arthur (the Grail, Excalibur, etc) as "hallows."
> 
> A "deathly hallow" would be a holy or powerful object associated 
> with death -- in other words, a horcrux.  Thus the title, I strongly 
> suspect, simply reads "Harry Potter and the Horcruxes."


SSSusan:
Eww.  I see where you're coming from, but I don't like it.  I mean, 
since "holy" is likely a part of this, could that fit into a 
horcrux??  Yes, a powerful object associated with death sounds like a 
horcrux.  But a *holy* object associated with death does not, to me.

If this is one's line of thinking, though, how about some as-yet-
unseen-in-the-series object that helps to DEFEAT death?  That that's 
the "association with death" you mention?

Siriusly Snapey Susan, who's used up her posts for the day (darn it!), 
and so who needs to say in her sig line that she really liked the idea 
just posted that the "deathly hallows" could refer to two Halloweens --
 the fateful first one of GH and perhaps the next Halloween to come!
