Geoff:
Just to repeat part of what I wrote in message 163332.....

Again, just my own gut feeling, I have said that I see the Deathly Hallows as 
being a place, although "Hallowe'en = All Hallows Eve = All Saints Eve" is the
interpretation which has been bounced around, which leads me to the 
intriguing point that in the DVD of the "Prisoner of Azkaban", there is an 
interview involving Jo Rowling and Alfonso Cuarón. In it, the latter remarks 
that he wanted the execution scene with Buckbeak to be in a graveyard but 
JKR vetoed this because, although there was a graveyard at Hogwarts, it was 
not in that location and she explained to Alfonso that it had a part to play 
later.

Suspicious....
