TITLE COMING UP NEXT! TURN BACK NOW!
I looked up the definition of hallow in two dictionaries today and
both said "to make holy, sanctify, consecrate" which raised a
horrifying and interesting thought. Now, I certainly don't want
Harry to die, but *if* he did while destroying Voldemort, he would
become one heck of a hero in the wizarding community and be revered
like a holy figure.
This is the classic battle between good and evil. Isn't that
struggle the crux of every holy figure's history? Sometimes holy
figures even gave up their lives in the battle against evil. I don't
think we should under estimate the title because every word Rowling
writes is deliberate: you can be sure the choice of title is
deliberate too. What if "Deathly" refers to what we all must know
must happen to Voldemort and "Hallows" unfortunately refers to Harry?
Just an idea.
