Talk:Deathly Hallows
From Harry Potter Wiki
Shouldn't this article be changed to talk about the hallows themselves rather than just a redirect to the book? Mr.gn 22:37, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, why don't you do that. John Reaves (talk) 00:05, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Harry and the Hallows
I believe that from Harry's final duel with Malfoy at Malfoy Manor until he dropped the Resurrection Stone in the Forbidden Forest, he had possession of all 3 Hallows and was thus the Master of Death. He had possession of the cloak and the stone (though he did not know it) for the entire book and then he disarmed Draco who was the master of the Elder Wand, thus passing its power to Harry. So this could explain him not dying at Gringottes and in the Room of Requirement and, to a point, his final confrontation with Voldemort. If someone would like to argue then comment on this... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.189.212.99 (talk • contribs).
- In an interview, JKR herself said the same thing Dumbledore said: Being the "Master of Death" means accepting death, not being immune to it.[1] - Nick O'Demus 07:20, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
- Q: "What does it mean to be the master of Death?"
- A: "As Dumbledore explains, the real master of Death accepts that he must die, and that there are much worse things in the world of the living. It is not about striving for immortality, but about accepting mortality."

What I'm saying is that not fearing death is a factor but not entirely the whole story. Sure Harry did not fear Death but throughout the more dangerous and unlikely to survive parts of the book, he also had all 3 Hallows with him. So one of the two must be right and the other wrong. And Dumbledore and Rowling are saying an important fact, but they are avoiding the question as to whether you can be a "fake" (rather than real) master of Death. They avoid saying if the Hallows, when joined under one person, can make you immune to Death. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.189.212.99 (talk • contribs).
