Which Harry Potter book was published in the United Kingdom on 21 July 2007?
Answer
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was published in the United Kingdom on 21 July 2007.
It is the seventh and final novel in J.K. Rowling’s original Harry Potter series. The book follows Harry, Ron, and Hermione after they leave Hogwarts to find and destroy the remaining Horcruxes, objects containing parts of Lord Voldemort’s soul.
The British launch took place at one minute past midnight, local time, beginning a large-scale global release. The novel broke sales records and sold more than eight million copies in the United States during its first 24 hours, according to Scholastic. Its publication ended the central book series, although the Wizarding World continued through related works and adaptations.
The title refers to three powerful magical objects: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Cloak of Invisibility. Readers sometimes confuse the publication date with that of the film adaptation, which was divided into two parts released in 2010 and 2011.
