Maybe "WHO" is the Deathly Hallow, since we can see that Sirius
is/was the "Prisoner of Azkaban" and there is a "Goblet of Fire" and
there are lots of people that make up the "Order of the Phoenix."

Ceridwen:
Maybe it's another organization, the members of which are called
Deathly Hallows. Or, maybe it's a place where eerie or ominious
things have been rumored to happen. Could that be what locals call
Godrick's Hollow nowadays? Or, maybe a special day - All Hallow's
Evening is shortened to Hallowe'en, this may be another hallowed day.

Jeremiah:

I seriously doubt it.
PS/SS is an object.
CoS is a place.
PoA is a person (Sirius)
GoF is an object.
OotP is a group (so, I can see where you were going with that thinking)
HBP is a person (Snape)

What we know is Deathly means: os or pertaining to death. Hallow has an
interresting meaning: a sacred object created through ritual. What do we
know that is "Of Death" and is also an "Object (folloing the whole "proper
name" thing) created through ritual?" It's a Horcrux.

The title can read: Harry Potter and the Horcruxes. (yes, that is the
plural... and I still want it to be Horcruxides... just like ephemerus is
ephemerides... because it makes me laugh... [forgive my spelling]).
