On what date was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows published in the UK?

The story behind the answer

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was published in the United Kingdom on 21 July 2007.

The novel was the seventh and final main Harry Potter book. Bloomsbury released it simultaneously in several markets, creating an unusually large global publishing event. Readers had spent years waiting to learn how the conflict between Harry and Lord Voldemort would conclude.

The book’s release followed Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which had appeared in 2005. Rowling had announced that the seventh volume would complete the central story, although later works expanded the wider wizarding world through other formats.

Publication dates can be confused because different countries used different release schedules and time zones, while translated editions appeared later. The date given here is the UK English-language publication date, not the date of a film release or a later illustrated edition.
