Mitchell:
It seems to me that the deathly hallows are the places in which
Harry and the scoobies will have to travel in order to find the
final fragments of Voldemort's soul. The most simple answer is
usually the right one!! <snip>

Jeremiah:
Ceridwen, that is exactly where I was going with the Horcrux thing. It is
all about Harry's quest frot he remaining Horcruxes and possibly the
Hallow(s) where his parents died, Voldemort dies and possibly where Harry
dies (I'm in the Haryy Dies a Tragic Death camp so agree/disagree as you
will... [sniff] I can take it... [tears]).

My first reaction was "What the Frigg?" (Frigg is the polite term for what I
really said) But as I've thought about it the name grows on me. I think it's
an all-encompassing title for the many, many, many, many, many, many, many,
many, many.... (deep breath) many, many plotlines (and subplots, and
sub-subplots... etc) established in the series.
