Book 7

Yup, that's right. J.K. Rowling just released the title of Book 7. And it's......

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows".


-Warning: contains SPOILERS!-

This book is probably going to be alot darker than the previous ones, and so the title is very fitting. "The Deatly Hallows" sounds eerie, and very, very important. The word "hallowed" can mean one of 2 things: Either set apart, consecrated, the holy sense of the word; or the honor sense of the word, to be highly venerated, or given great respect. Considering Book Six, and the themes of Voldemort's horcruxes, I assume that the title is talking about sacredness. Reading about the seven pieces of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named's soul gave me a foreboding feeling. The books are getting into deeper, more serious things, like horcruxes. In Book 7, Harry is going to be trying to destroy the four (Is it 3 or 4? I can't remember.) objects that carry pieces of Voldemort's soul, in order to destroy the Dark Lord, once and for all. Horcruxes are awful, and evil, because the soul is sacred. I think this theme will be very important in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"! And I am so excited about this book, because, even though it is getting darker, Harry is being confronted with evil in a more real way than before, and he must fight it, or die in the attempt. Personal convictions aside, (I think Harry should die. It would give the series closure, even though I don't believe Jo would do it) this book is going to be wonderful!
