ereshkigal_doom:
Sorry to be a smart-arse, but the book is entitled "The Deathly
Hallows".  Does this invalidate your theory or am I just not
following your argument somehow?

A 'hallow' is a holy thing as in the line from the Lord's Prayer:

"Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name ...."

or "Halloween" (according to Wikipedia, this is the short form of
All-hallow-even which means the eve before All Hallow's Day, more
modernly known as All Saints Day which means the same thing.)

So a hallowed thing is a thing that is holy.
