I know what "Deathly Hallows" means!

I have done several searches to see if this theory has been covered
yet.  Thus far, I haven't found it so I hope this has not been
discussed in other posts.

The secret to what the Deathly Hallows (DH) are rests in the cover
art for the British Adult versions.  Let me clearly paint it out.
Title=Philosopher's Stone; Cover art=the Philosopher's Stone
Title=Chamber of Secrets; Cover art=the door to the Chamber of Secrets
Title=Prisoner of Azkaban; Cover art=Azkaban Prison
Title=Goblet of Fire; Cover art=the Goblet of Fire
Title=Order of the Phoenix; Cover art=a Phoenix
Title=Half Blood Prince; Cover art=the Potions book (which is
basically the Half-Blood Prince throughout the book)

Considering this overwhelming pattern, I think it is logical to
assume that...
Title=Deathly Hallows; Cover art=Slytherin's Locket (or in other
words, the Deathly Hallows)

Put another way, Slytherin's locket is a horcrux, therefore  Deathly
Hallows refers to the Horcuxes...
What is the Deathly Hallows?  They are horcruxes!

This concept is consistent with the definition of Hallows referring to
relics or holy objects (sometimes considered to contain the spirit of
the saintly owner).  However in this case, the Hallows are not holy,
but Deathly.

I would love to hear your responses.
