Re: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
A summary of title-based "theories" so far... because we don't all want to read thousands of posts of discussion:
Halloween
All Hallow's Eve
Harry's parents died
could involve 2 "Hallow's Eves" - the one that started it all and one where it all ends
The Veil
Hallows = All Hallow's Eve, where the veil between worlds is thin
Sirius behind the veil
Hallow can mean "hallo" - signifying the tempting voices coming from behind the veil
Deathy Hallows could = the place beyond the veil
A Place
Godric's Hollow
A graveyard
A battlefield
An object
Something to get rid of Voldemort
Saints/Spirits
Hallows can = Saints - has been translated as "Saints" in Dutch
"Deathly Saints" could signify guardians of horcruxes/hunters of horcruxes
"Deathly Spirits" could link back to the veil
The Founders
Other registered names include Hallows of Hogwarts - set in the school/about it
The "Saints" could refer to the founders
The Four Hallows of Arthurian legend show symbols very similar to tarot symbols - which in turn are pretty similar to the House Founder horcruxes, or the elements of the Founders themselves
Horcruxes
The Four Hallows idea could allude to the horcruces
Hallowed = holy/venerated, so could mean the places where Voldemort hides his horcruxes
"Deathly Hallows" could show the process how Harry will destroy the horcruxes
Other people/creatures
Ghosts
A new object/character/creature
Inferi
Banshees
A group of people e.g. Death Eaters, guardians of horcruces
Dementors
