I'm fine with the title. But somehow, upon hearing it, my DH has convinced himself that either Dumbledore is not dead, or that Snape is actually evil. I don't know how he's getting that from "Deathly Hallows," but whatever.
I'm with your DH right now aifg. He's getting that from
Deathly Hallows,
because taken literally, it can mean death-like saints. Dumbledore is a saint in the Potterverse.
Hmm. Cindy has spicy brains.
Also? I love the word ghastly. I think I first heard it in the Really Rosie song, "The Awful Truth" -- "He had bloodshot eyes and a ghaaaastly smile."
Doesn't any one else think that 'Hallows' could be a place-name or place-name element? That's the other meaning I'm familiar with for it.
Am-Chau, that was my thinking as well.
Ghastly is a great word! And also, I notice, an adjective that ends in -ly.

My childhood anthem! I was listening to it on my iPod earlier today.
I wonder how filming it will change the impact of the scene, since the last book will be out and we'll know wheter Snape's a goody or a baddy.
I'm curious how they are going to catch movie Snape up to the point of book Snape, since they already downplayed a lot of the character's history in the movie of PRISONER OF AZKABAN. I'm memfaulting, but was the scene where Dumbledore basically forced Sirius and Severus (heh - never quite noticed how close those two's names are before) to reconcile at wand point in the movie of GOBLET OF FIRE? I don't remember it being in the movie, but I only saw it once (and at that point in the story I was surprised how much the big death affected me in the movie vs. the book where it barely registered for me).
Anyone know any good first-hand accounts of physical rehab? I could use them for something I'm writing.

Thanks for the link, Ginger. That makes me kind of sad and boggled.
Religious fanatics vs. art again. Oy vey.
