When was J.K. Rowling’s final Harry Potter novel released in the United Kingdom?

J.K. Rowling’s final Harry Potter novel was released in the United Kingdom on 21 July 2007.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was the seventh and final main novel in the series. Bloomsbury published it in the UK, while Scholastic released the American edition on the same date. Midnight launch events were held in many countries, continuing the series’ tradition of highly anticipated book releases.

The novel follows Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they search for Horcruxes and confront Lord Voldemort. It concludes the long-running conflict between Harry and Voldemort and resolves major mysteries introduced in earlier books.

The publication date is sometimes confused with 21 July 2011, the date of the final film’s UK release, or with the release dates of earlier novels. Deathly Hallows sold millions of copies rapidly and became one of the most commercially successful book launches in publishing history.
