First impression I had, was that "Hallows" was a place.
Graveyards are often consecrated places, aren't they (not too sure
about very many traditions)? "Deathly Hallows" would be an apt, if
unusual, epithet for a graveyard.
But, sure, it certainly does seem that it could refer to Godric's
Hollow, where the deathly and hallowed deed took place.
And, yes, hallows = saints as in All Hallows Eve. So, these would
be "good" people, then, if indeed that's what the word in the title
means. Then, I get the feeling Deathly Hallows could be sort of anti-
Death Eaters.
I like this title. It's nice and *dark.*
I wonder when Jo will tell us what the other possibilities were?
