What is the Deathly Hallows? They are horcruxes!

Witherwing now:
Bravo! You've put into words the one reason to love
that UKadult cover art, imo. I want to add, however,
that I am sure JK Rowling has MORE than this in store
for us. For example, think of all the things the Half
Blood Prince almost was - a *girl* (Hermione's hunch),
James Potter (Harry's desire)... I enjoyed the
constantly changing view Harry has through the book,
of the Prince as mentor, as mysterious but certainly
not Dark, as giver of life-saving information, as
murderous scribe of the sectumsempra... 

In short, the Deathly Hallows, whatever they literally
turn out to be,  promise to be more than that, as they
will signify many things to us, the devoted readers.
That they are described as Deathly...that adjective
alone makes a reader quake and tremble in a way that a
photo of a locket, no matter how artfully done,
cannot.
