Harry is a great friend, maybe even a great person, but it's a serious stretch to consider him a great wizard. But maybe he'll come into his own in this final book. I certainly hope so.
Or maybe "deathly hallows" are some things Voldy summoned to stop Harry from getting to him or random things guarding the horcruxes. I know! Maybe the "Deathly Hallows" breed the dementors! (JK) :tongue:
I still think Half-Blood Prince was a bad title choice, and so do a lot of my friends.Quote:

I know. I mean that I'm not going to judge the title until I read the book.Quote:

Yeah, I could really care less what the title is, as long as it's good I don't really give a smurf. Plenty of great books have had stupid and/or cheesy names (Heart of Darkness anyone?).Quote:

I just discovered this, and was gonna make a thread about it, but seeing as this is already here~
I don't mind the name, in fact I think it's kinda nifty.
Timerk mentioned the Half-Blood Prince being a bad name, but I also thought that was a good one :jess:
Although the Goblet of Fire is still the best name.

It should just be named 'Harry Potter' and nothing else. See how many fan people would be freaking because of -that- name.
This one prolly just has something to do with ... deathly hallows..
Weird..
The only thing the title is doing for me is inciting an urge to make Bleach jokes.
I guess it's okay. I don't really have a problem with it as long as it wraps up the series well enough. *shrugs*
When you put it that way, I like it now!Quote:

Who gives a damn about the name?
