| Roro Numero Uno Hogwarts Rules! i definately agree the 34th chapter was so sad and so touching. and all the things harry was saying to himself and thinking was making me cry too but i was and amazing book, better than all the rest and i think its my faveorite book of all time! anyways i think Deathly Hallows was a better name

| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows sounds better than Harry Potter and the what the 32 chapter was called. I loved the book! I set a new Harry Potter personal record of reading the book in three days! |

The alternative title would have fit well, too. It playd a major roll. But the current title encompasses it all and therefore I think it's better. |

I like Deathly Hallows better than the alt title. It just sounds better. Didn't she have three titles? I want to know the other one!

I read the whole article. It was beautiful. If I was JKR it would be something I would keep forever. Sounded way too grown up to come from a 13 year old. She must be a truly amazing girl. And so lucky to have such a wonderful experience.

| Lucky, lucky girl. Boo! lol, But I really appreciate her bringing the experience to us. That was sweet about the necklaces she made, too - I'm sure JKR is the kind of person that would remember that sort of thing and be touched by it. Sounds like she had a great night! |

That chapter made me cry too...actually, chapters 32-36 made me cry. I like "Deathly Hallows" better than the other possible title.

I'm glad she named the book The Deathly Hallows instead of the title of the 32nd chapter cuz it would have given too much away and because the 32nd chapter made me almost throw the book across the room and it did make me sob for several minutes...continued on in the next chapter after that as well

I do like Deathly Hallows better than chapter 32, if it had been the title.
And I fully agree with her least favorite character...
