um, excuse me?
Okay, so the newly announced title of the seventh and final Harry Potter tome makes no sense.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Um, excuse me? "Hallow" is a verb. Is this a British thing? I looked it up on dictionary.com and they provided no definition for the word as a noun. I know about hollows. But hallows? Verb, right?
Plus the "deathly" thing is SO overdramatic. But mostly, I'd just like all the parts of speech to parse.
Can someone make this better?
