What name did J.K. Rowling give the final book in the Harry Potter series?

J.K. Rowling gave the final book in the Harry Potter series the title Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The novel was published in 2007 and concludes the seven-book series. Its title refers to three legendary magical objects: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Cloak of Invisibility. Together they are known as the Deathly Hallows and are connected to the story told by the character Xenophilius Lovegood.

The book also follows Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they search for Horcruxes instead of attending Hogwarts normally. Their mission brings together plot threads involving Voldemort, Dumbledore, the Hallows, and the history of Harry’s family.

The title is sometimes confused with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which is the sixth novel. The Deathly Hallows is both the final book and the name of the magical trio at the center of its central legend.
