This title could also mean that Harry needs to find the Horcruxes, because I think Voldemort looks at them like there somthing holy. But it could also mean they would return to the place were Voldemort was reborn, as it says in the article. I don't think it be the Hallowed Halls of Hogwarts, cause Rowling said Hogwarts wouldn't play a big role in the 7th book. My conclusion is that the final battle be at the place of Voldemorts rebirth: The graveyard in the 4th book.

Oh how interesting - that is a great title for the last book. Dark, mysterious, full of action and hopefully reaching some startling conclusions about the whole of Harry's life so far.
I personally think the plot centre on Godric's Hollow and Volemort's place of rebirth. Godric's Hollow play a very important role somehow; perhaps we find out exactly what happened that night.
Whatever happens, I cannot wait!

It is an interesting title. I think it pretty much gives it away that Harry in this book (Sorry, if I am being a partypooper...), but I have envisioned it ever since the Chamber of Secrets. I could still be wrong, but I think JK has more than hinted it. By the way, JK has something about the letter H. Nearly all the important factors in the plot start with H - Hogwarts, Harry, Hermione, Hagrid, Half-Blood Prince, Hallows, Halloween, Hollow (of Godric), etc. - Does anyone think it is siginificant?

My venture into Google found this defintion for Hallows:

Oct. 31, Greater Sabbat, also called November Eve, the Celtic Samhain ("sow-en"); the beginning of the Celtic winter, and of the Celtic year; the beginning of the Witches' Year, when the Veil Between the Worlds grows thin and the spirits of the may return to Earth; the Descent of the Goddess to the Underworld; the final Harvest festival.

Of course, the word is related to Halloween, and many important events have happened at Halloween in PotterVerse, but I think that Halloween is too obvious for a final event. (Though it could be for the beginning of some sort of prolonged battle.)

In the above definition, I found the part about the "veil between the worlds" to be particularly significant since Sirius passed through the veil and from subsequent events, we know that the Department of Secrets is supposed to have an important role in the final book.

ly? That seems rather obvious. But I think many of us are thinking of ly Hallows as a physical location. Perhaps it refers to time rather than place. The Hallows may well refer to a period of time when the difference between the living and the is confused. It may offer Harry a chance to communicate with Sirius, Dumbledore, or even his parents. The inferi may be all around. Perhaps even the souls of the people who were ed by Voldysnort be there to take revenge upon LV.

As for Godric's Hollow--I'm sure that Harry go there, but I don't think that it has a direct connection to the term ly Hallows.

Hallowed may refer to hallowed halls of Hogwarts. This may be where it all ends.

well this is darkly significant i think its a shame hogwarts is out of it now... that place is like so cool lol i think malfoy's life may play a big part in this somewhere as he mastered occlumency very quick as snape couldnt see into his mind how ever i think that harry and h is a common letter lol ^ i just hope it isnt a big let down cos its the first book she's released a title so early on

i think it is an interesting name and i have already perordered my book at boarders.

as soon as i saw what the new title was, i thought of one thing... Godrics Hollow. I think alot of the last book be centered on that place somehow. it was in the end of book 6, Harry said that for him it all started there and i think the story has to end there.

Hadar, add horcrux to the letter H list.
"ly Hallows" sure gives us something to think about. Brings to mind the house were Harry's parents d or the graveyard were Cedric d. Or maybe it's were Dumbledore and Sirius are, some place between life and , the place behind the curtain at the Ministry of Majic.

I would firstly like to wish everyone a very Happy Christmas and how excited are we all about the title of the last book, but i am saddened as well as ecstatic for surely the coming of the final book signifies the end of this site and i for one have thoroughly enjoyed this site and the worldy ponderings of what may or may not happen in the books, thanks to Dave Haber for giving us this forum for discussing such important matters and lastly i think the title refers to all the people that have been ed and their remaining souls including DD!
