What year did J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series conclude with the publication of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?

The story behind the answer

J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series concluded in 2007 with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The seventh and final main Harry Potter novel was published in the United Kingdom on 21 July 2007. It follows Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they leave Hogwarts to search for Horcruxes and confront Lord Voldemort. The book resolves the central conflict and reveals the meaning of the title’s three legendary objects.

The ending of the novel is distinct from the conclusion of the film adaptations. The book came first, while Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was divided into two films released in 2010 and 2011. Readers who remember the final film date may therefore mistakenly answer 2011.

The wider Wizarding World continued after 2007 through companion publications, screen projects, and stage work, but Deathly Hallows remains the final novel in Rowling’s original seven-book Harry Potter sequence.
