It is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I find this title very interesting and has me thinking about the 4 Hallows of Arthurian legend and how those 4 hallows correspond to the 4 suits of the Tarot. I kept wondering if the phrase "deathly hallows" is just another way of referring to Harry's quest to find the 4 remaining horcruxes. There is a lot of speculation that these 4 horcruxes (pieces of soul hidden in 4 different objects) that Harry is going to have to find and destroy in Book 7 correspond to the 4 suits to the Tarot (and the 4 houses of Hogwarts.)
This makes a lot of sense to me since there was one significant reference to Tarot in Book 6 where Professor Trewlawney read Tarot cards and the Tower card came up. Plus, there is also the Hanged Man Pub in the series. I also see a lot of the characters fitting a lot of the major arcana as well.
Any other tarot connections that you can make to the Harry Potter series? And does anyone know if there are any threads here about the 4 Arthurian Hallows and their connections to Tarot?
