Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

 

(Godric's Hollow??!!)

 

It's the first article on Mugglnet at the moment.

 

So.... what do people think of the name?

 

(Don't you totally love how I spazzed then rushed here to inform you all? *lol* I haven't even text Mia yet!!)

[MsDanya]

oooooh, sounds great!! :D:D:D

 

and Death Hallow... sounds scary!! I wish it was called the Death of Professor Snape, but I can settle with this one :P

[Jhaenara]

I dunno... not the most spifferific name to me... I dunno why... that's just me though... lol.

 

You guys need to stop posting together b/c the snow is mesmerizing me... (probably b/c I cheated and used the same animation I made instead of remaking it.)

[MsDanya]

then stop looking at our awesome bodies and read our posts instead!

[Niamh Sedai]

I'm sort of "Hmmming" at the name at the moment. Plus on the Harry Potter boards they're going to be talking about PS/SS, CoS, PoA, GoF, OotP, HBP and... DH (which really made me giggle)

 

;)

[Arya Ellesméra]

I saw the announcement too! *dances*

 

However, I don't think the title is a reference to Godric's Hollow. It's spelled differently. Actually, I can't make sense of this title at all, since hallow means like, to revere or make holy... Or a shout. Though interestingly, it generally is regarded as something you shout out to the dogs when you're hunting with hounds...

[Niamh Sedai]

I'm just hoping this means the release date will be announced soon and I can go to Edinburgh next summer regardless of where I go to University! *lol*

[JenniferL]

When I saw this on LJ earlier, I ran into the next room to tell my students. They want me to snag a pre-release copy for them, somehow. "Aren't you famous on the internet, Mrs. Liang? GET US THAT BOOK!!!"

[Niamh Sedai]

*dies* Awesome!

 

My Mum yelled upstairs to tell me. Then I ran downstairs, sqquuueeed and then asked if I could go on the Computer to tell you guys *lol*

[Narina Menderlin]

lol. I just shouted the title to my family here. hehe. It seems like a different tone than the other titles of the hp books. And I like it!

 

Thanks for giving us the info Niamh!

Cool christmas present.

[U4ea]

*laughs* If I reacted, at all, my husband would roll his eyes at me and ask how old I was. Did I mention he's a little...grown up? LOL So, since I'm not reacting, he'll come in in about...2 hours and tell me that they've released the name of the last book. Then he'll get all huffy when I tell him an English girl beat him to the punch. *smirks*

 

Thanks, Nia! *grins and blows smooches*

[Maria]

You would expect I'd be jumping through the roof, wouldn't you? Yes, so would I.

 

Instead I'm.. calm. Too calm. I think I just need time to let it sink it.

 

Also, DH is like Draco/Harry.. which makes me giggle.

[Emillith]

The question is - who dies in these Hollows to get that name, and was that its name before or after these deaths? :P

[Dwynwen]

Ooh, thanks for the information, Nia!

 

I don't know what it could mean. Hallow is not Hollow. All I can think of right now is "All Hallow's Eve", so maybe it has something to do with the ghosts? (I am really stretching with that one!)

[BenTGaidin]

Maybe it was supposed to be "gallows" but some wizard couldn't spell? *grins* Although it'd make a cool name for a monster, too... ("Quick, Harry's being attacked by dementors and hallows!")

 

As for me, I'm just glad there's finally a name - we've been taking reservations for it at Borders for a month now, and it's just silly to have reservations in the system for a book that we didn't even know the name of. *laughs*

[Emillith]

So what was it listed in the system as? *is curious*

[BenTGaidin]

It said "Harry Potter Book 7." *grins*

[Ludmian]

Just posted the news on the General discussion board and then saw a thread about the new title here. :( Well, I should have known that some people here would know the title the minute it’s announced. :) Not sure if I like the title (or even understand it). Is it really the best of the three Rowling had? :?

[Charis alAslan]

Saw the article in the New York Daily News this morning and announced it to my 1st period 7th grade Science class! :P IMed Cairos about it, but he said he already knew cuz apparently Dah'mir saw this thread, lol! :P We're all too hilarious for words! I'm uber-excited about the book, but the title doesnt appeal to me yet. "DH" on many message boards is also an abbreviation for "Dear Husband"! :lol:

[Niamh Sedai]

I am so awesome that occasionally I amaze myself 8)

 

;)

 

But yeah, I wasn't sure that I liked the name at first but thinking about it, it's growing on me! I just want to read it really! *lol*

[Narina Menderlin]

So do I! What were the three titles JK had?

 

lol. dear husband.

[Maria]

We don't know what the other titles were, but JK said that she was debating three different titles for this book.

 

And I'm not sure if I like this one. I didn't like Half-Blood Prince (the title, not the book :P) at first, either, but at least that one was somewhat more specific. For now DH is just far too obscure for my liking.

 

And according to dictionary.com "hallow" means to make something holy or to sanctify.

 

If it's a deathly hallow, then it could be Godric's Hollow. We do know someone died there (James and Lily), and we know it'll be important in book 7. It could also be the graveyard Harry was taken to in GoF, which is where Tom Riddle's father is buried, or it could be the unnamed graveyard Jo has talked about in interviews which apparently will be important in this book. And since the title is actually "deathly hallowS", then it could be all these. Or none of them.

 

Hmm.. I'm definitely intrigued.

[Charis alAslan]

And this - ladies and gentlemen - is why I love being a Blue! *bows to Mia and applauds* :D

[KellySedai]

*passes out*

 

:shock: OMG!! I am soooo excited about this new book! I visit Mugglenet everyday and I can't believe you beat me to this Nia! :D *lol*

[Mystica]

all I can say is if Snape is being killed off, I'll be crossing the pond to England and go give a certain writer a little tiny piece of my mind.

 

Ok, so I still need to start reading the books, but that's so totally beside the point.

 

*nods gravely*
