The name sounds like the name of a Graveyard to me.
I could elaborate, but I don't want to ruin it for anyone. I can't wait for the publication date.
Thank you so much, Jo, for this great Christmas present!

Im am so excited by the reveal of the title of book 7. HP and the Deathly Hallows really opens up alot of possibilities. I am so excited for the release of the book but on the other hand I can wait because once this book comes out it's officially over (until the movie).

I actuall agree with what several other people have said: When I first saw the title after the hangman game, my first reaction was that it wasn't real. I don't know why, probably just because it's new and I'm not used to it yet. However, I don't think JKR would ever give us a fake title, like some other fans seem to. How cruel of her would that be!

What a wonderful Christmas present! Thank you JKR. Now let the theorising... begin!
The only thing I can think of is Halloween, or as it used to be known "All Hallows Eve". Older traditions believed it was one night in the year when the dead could return to the Earth.

I didn't bother with the door, haha. MSN is my homepage and when I got on the net at about 10am, it said that JRK has released the title and basically spoiled it for me, HAHA.

The "UPDATE" seems to ruin it for the others.
I, thankfully didn't read that and went on to find it
myself, but.. please edit the update
so that people won't see the exact name on the update!
And as always, thanks for the news!

It took me forever too, to figure out that I needed to go into the site another way, but FINALLY, it worked. And it was so fun. And now the name... I'm so scared. :( I don't like the sound of that first word, y'know? (The "D" word...)
