Answer
21 July 2007
The final Harry Potter novel was published in the UK on 21 July 2007.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was the seventh and concluding novel in J.K. Rowling’s main series. Bloomsbury released it in the United Kingdom on that date, while the US edition was published by Scholastic on the same day.
The book follows Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they search for the remaining Horcruxes and confront Lord Voldemort. Its publication ended the central sequence of novels that had begun with Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in 1997.
The date is sometimes confused with 31 July, Harry Potter’s fictional birthday and Rowling’s real birthday. The last book’s publication date was earlier in the month. The theatrical film adaptation was later divided into two parts, released in 2010 and 2011.
