Harry Potter Saga continues with the seventh intrigue...

J.K. Rowling revealed the title Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on its official site on December 21, 2006. The exact direction is difficult to return in French for several reasons :

  • The two terms have multiple directions and belong to particular registers of language, it would thus be necessary to partly know the history to know which direction to choose:
    • Hallow means " holy " or " apostle ". This word is seldom employed – usual English prefers to him holy for substantive or holy for adjective – but is found mainly in the ecclesiastical register, like All Hallows' Day " the day of All Saints' day ", All-Hallows summer, or Halloween (abbreviation of All-Hallows' Eve, " day before of All Saints' day "). By extension, and in the register even more antiquated, the form plural hallows can indicate a relic of a saint, or the mounting which contains it ;
    • Deathly is an adjective which can either be synonymous with deadly " mortal ", or to mean " cadaveric paleness " or " blafard ". It is a term relatively little used in current English.

With the question " That Deathly Hallows means ", J.K. Rowling has answered] : " would Any explanation as for the significance of Hallows reveal too much the history, be-it-not ? Considering it is the title and all. Thus I am afraid well to be able to answer. "

The French title, Harry Potter and the Relics of Dead were officially revealed by Gallimard on June 6, 2007
