I did a bit of poking around and discovered that, in the legend of the Holy Grail, “hallows” are holy relics. It has been suggested that the four founders of Hogwarts have some connection with the four hallows of the Grail legend, and that those relics are actually the same as those of the Grail. Rowling herself won't come off the meaning of the title because she doesn't want to give too much away. I wish someone would ask her, instead, how long the final book of the series is. If she's true to form, it will the the longest one, which is all right by me.
I wonder what sort of mourning process readers and writer alike will experience once the whole thing is over and done with?
