Two other titles registered with Deathly Hallows
HarryLatino has uncovered some interesting details concerning recent trademarks filed by a company named Field Fisher Waterhouse. Along with registering Deathly Hallows on December 5th, they also registered two more titles: Heart of Ravenclaw and Deadly Veil.

i have also read something about 'harry potter and the hogwarts' hallows', and 'harry potter and the hallows of hogwarts' but i can't remember where, but i'll don't have time to search for them now.

i think 'deathy hallows' is a great title. seems a little bit blatant at first but learning the real definition of 'hallows' makes it seem more meaningful and leds to more possibilities. a bunch of people have been saying they like some of the other titles better (apparently there are several titles registerd for book 7 but they where never considered, they where registered to keep us guessing) but i think we should keep in mind that they may have absolutely no relevance to the book whatsoever...only jo knows what fits. i mean, we never understood what the titles meant before until after reading the books

jo loves things with overlapping meanings so certainly the connection to godric's hollow could be relevant but i don't think the title refers to a place as much as to a thing or symbol. Since hallow makes reference to spiritual and revered things, possibly the title indicates the horcruxes?

At this stage I lay my bets on the Deathly Hallows being the place beyond the veil.
But: when you look at the meaning of hallows it seems more likely to be the spirits (I was about to say 'people') beyond the veil.

Either way, I'm convinced it has to do with that in some way.

I think it sounds a lot like a place. I mean, in addition to the ambiguous meaning of 'hallows', the word itself it pretty archaic. From what I know, it hasn't been actively used since, what, 1500? You only find it in the word Halloween and as a name for places. So, I guess there's one thing we can say about the Deathly Hallows: Whatever it is, it's old.

And i suppose it diden´t say anything when it would be released.. or so..

[Chimera]

Could mean a return to the cemetary, graveyards are on hallowed ground.

I've googled hallows and this is what it came up with:

Definitions of hallows on the Web:

name used by some traditions for Samhain, or Halloween
[url]crypt.eldritchs.com/wicca/glossary.html[/url]

("holy" or "holy night") the Oct. 31 Greater Sabbat, also called November Eve, the Celtic Samhain ("sow-en"); the beginning of the Celtic winter, and of the Celtic year; the beginning of the Witches' Year, when the Veil Between the Worlds grows thin and the spirits of the dead may return to Earth; the Descent of the Goddess to the Underworld; the final Harvest festival

I like the bit about the Veil between worlds grows thin and spirits of the dead may return to earth. It could indicate more interaction with the veil in the ministry. We definitely need more information on it as it was very vague about what it was and why Lupin knew that Sirius could not come back through it. i don't know how it could be involved - i doubt the ministry would just let harry come in and have a look around whenever he fancied it. not when he refused to be the poster boy for scrimgeour. maybe he'll take a low level job there that would allow him better access, rather than going back to hogwarts.

it could mean the less interesting breakdown of the barrier between magical and muggle worlds - there was certainly more magic in the muggle world in HBP. But i hope it the veil in the MOM - that has far more potential for your imagination i think.
