Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
December 26th 2006 08:10
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.That's the title of the new book. Deathly Hallows? Must say it was unexpected. Both the announcement and the title itself. I did not like it at first but it is growing on me.
As usul, the web is swirling with theories what it could mean. Firstly, this could tie in to the legendary four treasures that Tuaatha Danaan brought to Celtic lands. These could tie in to the relics of founders of Hogwarts that Voldemart is trying into making horcruxes.
Or else, it could refer to Hallowe'en or All Hallow's Eve, when the veil between this world and the spiritual world is supposed to be at tis thinnest and the spirits can pass over.
Or else, it could refer to a place, the illusive graveyard of Hogwarts that's everyone is been waiting for to manifest.
Other theories include, that they are a ritual, an army of dead spirits or the name of a strange magic that Harry has already encountered or will encounter.
What they are only Rowling knows at this point.
However, I do not think she will be able to or will answer all the questions we've had about the series or will tie all the loose ends. If she does try doing that, she will lose a lot of momentum. Already we've had two big tomes which have nothing much happening in them. Ideally, Rowling should return to the first three books and try and write a genuine page turner and leave the unexplained stuff to her website or a non-fiction book on Harry Potter. Just my suggestions.
But, whatever happens this book is an end of an ear. After this, there'll be no more of standing in the queues, no more month's of chatting with strangers about theories. After you've read it the first time and it's over, it'll be the end of anticipation. Period.
