While many of the other titles have had a nice ring to them, this one hurts. It doesn't get any love trying to roll off the tongue and "deathly" is a strange word. It's much more often used as an adverb (deathly afraid), whereas here she seems to want to use it as an adjective. Also, "hallow" is usually a verb, which means that "the [anything] hallow" is total gibberish. Color me confused. Maybe it's supposed to be "Deathly Hollow"? Does "hallow" have a meaning as a noun that dictionary.com is hiding from me? "Half Blood Prince", "Goblet of Fire", "Chamber of Secrets" are all much better.

She needs to get this last book out so I can read the series already. I've watched the movies on the advice and pleading of my girlfriend and found them sufficiently entertaining. I refuse to not be able to read the books straight, though, so I'm waiting for her to finish up before I delve in.

Perhaps her success has given her some license, but she's got quite the attitude and ego when it comes to what she's doing. I await, skeptical.
