Harry Potter Seven Title Announced!

[Niamh Sedai]

I think the Deathly Hallows are the Horcruxes. I have a feeling *looks wise*

[Maria]

But a horcrux can't be a place. A horcrux is a thing. It can, however, be a place where said horcrux either is at the moment, or where Voldemort killed the people he needed to make the horcruxes. A hallow is a holy place, like I said in my last post. Therefore it can't be a thing.

[Narina Menderlin]

oh. okay. :D

[Niamh Sedai]

Yeah, but just thinking of the Lord's Prayer "Our Father who art in Heaven, HALLOWED be thy name"

 

So judging by this a thing could be hallowed.

 

I stick by my judgement ;)

[Arya Ellesméra]

"Hallowed be thy name" doesn't constitute it being a thing. Hallowing is a form of worship or reverence, and in that case, meaning we worship the name of the Lord, not... Well, look. Here's a dictionary definition, which can put an entirely new spin on your theories.

 

Hallow:

 

1. to make holy; sanctify; consecrate.

2. to honor as holy; consider sacred; venerate: to hallow a battlefield.

Verb

To render holy by means of religious rites

 

interjection

1. (used to call or answer someone, or to incite dogs in hunting.)

–noun

2. the cry “hallo!”

3. a shout of exultation.

–verb (used without object)

4. to call with a loud voice; shout; cry, as after hunting dogs.

–verb (used with object)

5. to incite or chase (something) with shouts and cries of “hallo!”

6. to cry “hallo” to (someone).

7. to shout (something).

 

I don't think she's going to create an entirely new meaning for a word... so it's probably safe to assume it's related to a definition above! :D

[BenTGaidin]

The end of the second definition looks promising, in conjunction with "deathly" anyway...

 

Anyone know if Rowling's been reading GRR Martin lately? *grins*

[Arya Ellesméra]

In conjunction with my definitions... They're currently working out the Dutch title. They aren't doing an exact literal translation of "deathly hallows." They've come up with a working title, which translates to "Deadly Shrine," "Deadly Sanctuary" or "Deadly Saints."

 

So I guess that gives a bit more of an idea of what's going on!

[Demandred Valerius]

..... HERMIONE KILLS RON!!

 

 

*hides in a fallout shelter*

[Niamh Sedai]

*snortgiggles*

 

I personally think they'll be very busy for most of the book. I think Hermionie will have to fix Ron's broken wand...

[Maria]

That literally made me spit all over my screen. My dad gave me a big "wtf?!" look, and my brother jumped. When did you get so naughty? I have trained you well, I see.

 

Oh Harry Potter and your unintended innuendos.

[KellySedai]

ROFL!!! You gotta love it. ;)

 

I wouldn't mind helping Harry fix a broken wand anytime. :twisted:

[Maria]

Well as long as it's not *his* broken wand you're fixing I'm happy. I'm Harry's girl through and through. I always have been, always will be. =)

[Charis alAslan]

*covers her ears* :shock: :shock: :shock:

[Demandred Valerius]

:roll:

 

women....

[Mystica]

you lot can fix any wand you like so long as you keep off from Snape's. That one's mine....

 

*jumps in ninja outfit and looks about fiercelylike*

[Niamh Sedai]

Personally, I always wanted a ride on Viktor Krum's broomstick

This thread is rapidly going downhill.

[Niamh Sedai]

Honestly! Can't a girl want to fly on a broomstick? I just want to play Quidditch! ;)

[JenniferL]

Musn't laugh...must maintain...Amyrlin-like dignity...

[Niamh Sedai]

But I'm not being funny! I want to play Qudditch! I want to play it with Draco, Harry, Ron, Snape and Dumbledore...

 

 

*cough*

[JenniferL]

THAT'S IT!!!

 

This thread is over!

[Niamh Sedai]

But... but... I don't know what you are talking about... *innocent look*

[JenniferL]

Maria has been a HORRIBLE influence on you! Horrible!

[Niamh Sedai]

Trust me... I was like this before Maria ever got her hands on me ;)

[JenniferL]

Oh, I'm sure you were. Its just fun to blame her.

 

Bad Maria! Bad! Look what you made Nia do!
