The title of Book 7!
Presenting your Christmas present from Jo Rowling:

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows


Thank you, Jo, and Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Analyze the title: Debate and discussion about the title is currently taking place over at our forums - go check it out!

The release date: Find out when we think Book 7 will be released, now that we have a title.

EDIT: Some news outlets are reporting the title as "Deathly Hollows," but this is incorrect. Also, for those of you who hadn't noticed, the title was released yesterday on the winter solstice. Recall in OOTP: "...at the solstice will come a new... and none will come after..." At the winter solstice, a new title will be revealed, but as this is the last book, no more will be released.

The only non-religious reference to hollow according to the Oxford English Dictionary is... "A loud shout or cry, to incite dogs in the chase, to help combined effort, or to attract attention."

this seriously makes my day.


Posted by HarrietJPotter Dec 21st 2006

Hmmm. I'm kind of disappointed. It sounds like cheesy fan fiction or something. I don't know...


Posted by hpgirl953 Dec 21st 2006

this is like one little hopeful thing to look forward into xmas break ♥


Posted by Hayley Dec 21st 2006

OMG!! This is soooooooooo exciting!!


Posted by Trelawneys_Fan Dec 21st 2006

Hey, here's another thought.... As no one knows what HALLOWS is, I came up with a supposition. Remember that JK said on her diary a few months ago that she had been trying to invent a word, and which brought her back memories from when she invented the word "Horcrux"? Well.... Hallow might be that word she had been inventing! And I bet that it's another invention like the Horcruxes.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG TO INFINITY!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOO THAT JUST MADE MY CHRISTMAS!!!!! OMG GUYS!!!


Posted by alicat Dec 21st 2006

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHH!!!! I'm soo excited!! When my friend told me she released the title of the 7th book on the phone, I literally fell to the floor (and broke my phone along with it). Of course the one day I wasn't home she releases it so I don't hear until hours after everyone. But I don't care, I'm just so excited!!!!! *does happy dance then dies of happiness* :D


Posted by Kid_A Dec 21st 2006

Lots of people by tonight are likeminded that these "deathly hallows" are the Horcruxes, as Jo hinted that Harry will try to find and destroy the Horcrux that had left from book 6. By the way, when is the Mugglenet's book 7 cover competition is starting? I really wonder what kind of covers are gonna be designed for book 7. :)


Posted by HarryAndThePotters Dec 21st 2006

OMG! THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER! THANK YOU JO! I LOVE YOU! WOW! I AM SO EXCITED, THAT IM CRYING!!!


Posted by mave Dec 21st 2006

why deathly and not deadly?


Posted by sweetdreamer0285 Dec 21st 2006

****Best Christmas Gift EVER**** It's a good time to be alive!! *cheering like a banshee*


Posted by christianaeg Dec 21st 2006

i think it's deathly because deathly refers to death, and deadly means something that's going to kill ya if that makes any sense to you...


Posted by harry_luver_29 Dec 21st 2006

Posted by danielsgrl4ever Dec 21st 2006

TO: iheartMalfoy, who cares if you like or dislike the title? IT"S THE 7TH BOOK!


Posted by hpgirl953 Dec 21st 2006

to: iheartmalfoy AND danielsgirl4ever no one really likes that title because it scares people a little i know that but were all excited duh:]


Posted by wavebeamer Dec 21st 2006

I believe that this definition of "hallow" refers to a shout of exultation; a shout of joy. "Deathly Hallows," therefore, probably refers to the Death Eaters and Voldemort himself. This probably means that Voldemort is happy with his plans throughout this book, and things will move very quickly. Voldemort's quick successes will eventually force Harry to confront him quickly and stop him in some way.


Posted by Alternatives Dec 21st 2006

frankly im not a big fan of the title at first i was like wow thats cool but now, although its a silly reason, i dont like its abbreviation..DH. comparing that to..PS..COS..POA..GOF..OO TP..HBP......DH??? i dunno i just dont think it goes...but i do love the fact that the realease of the title signals the impending realease of the book. i dont want to read it but i do if ppl no what i mean...*sigh* the end of an era


Posted by hpgirl953 Dec 21st 2006

Harry looked up, diverted. The circumstance of Ron having read a book that Hermione had not was unprecedented.
