What is the title of J.K. Rowling’s final Harry Potter novel, published in 2007?

The story behind the answer

J.K. Rowling’s final Harry Potter novel, published in 2007, is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

It is the seventh book in the original series and concludes the main story of Harry’s struggle against Lord Voldemort. The novel was released in the United Kingdom on 21 July 2007, with publication taking place simultaneously in several other markets. It became one of the most commercially significant releases in publishing history.

The title refers to three legendary magical objects: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Cloak of Invisibility. Their history is told through “The Tale of the Three Brothers,” a story within the novel.

The book was adapted into two films, released in 2010 and 2011. This division sometimes causes confusion about the number of novels: there are seven original books, but eight main film installments.
