Which book completed J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter novel sequence?

The story behind the answer

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows completed J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter novel sequence.

The seventh novel was published in the United Kingdom on 21 July 2007. It follows Harry, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger as they leave Hogwarts to search for Horcruxes and confront Voldemort’s forces.

The title refers to three legendary magical objects: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Cloak of Invisibility. Their history becomes central to the book’s mythology and to Harry’s understanding of the conflict.

The novel’s story was adapted into two films released in 2010 and 2011. That two-part adaptation can cause confusion about whether the book itself was split into two volumes; it was published as one novel. It followed Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which was the sixth book.
