What is the title of J.K. Rowling’s 2007 novel that concludes the Harry Potter series?

The story behind the answer

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is J.K. Rowling’s 2007 novel that concludes the main Harry Potter series.

Bloomsbury published the book in the United Kingdom on 21 July 2007. It follows Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they search for Horcruxes while Lord Voldemort’s control over the wizarding world expands. The plot culminates in the Battle of Hogwarts.

The title refers to three legendary magical objects: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Cloak of Invisibility. Together they form the Deathly Hallows, a story-within-the-story that becomes central to the novel’s themes and events.

Deathly Hallows is the seventh main Harry Potter novel. The stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, first performed in 2016, is set later and is not the seventh novel or a replacement title for the series’ conclusion.
