The three-object magical collection in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is called the Deathly Hallows.
The Hallows consist of the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Invisibility Cloak. According to the story told in “The Tale of the Three Brothers,” the objects were gifts from Death to three brothers who crossed a dangerous river. The legend explains why the artifacts are connected and why they are considered extraordinarily powerful.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione learn about the Hallows while investigating the larger mystery surrounding Voldemort’s Horcruxes. The symbol of the Hallows is a triangle containing a circle and divided by a vertical line. It appears repeatedly in the final book and becomes associated with both the legend and its modern followers.
The Hallows are distinct from Horcruxes. Horcruxes are objects or living vessels used to contain fragments of a wizard’s soul, while the Hallows are legendary magical artifacts. Confusing these two groups can obscure the final novel’s two parallel quests.
