Which Harry Potter novel was published in 2007 as the series finale?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was published in 2007 as the final main Harry Potter novel.

Bloomsbury released the book in the United Kingdom on 21 July 2007. It concludes Harry’s struggle against Lord Voldemort and resolves the storylines surrounding the Deathly Hallows, the Horcruxes, and the wizarding war.

The title refers to three legendary magical objects: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Invisibility Cloak. The objects are connected by the “Tale of the Three Brothers,” a story told within the novel. Their symbolism is important, but the book’s central conflict also depends on choices, loyalty, sacrifice, and the consequences of seeking power.

The preceding novel, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, appeared in 2005. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was adapted into two films, released in 2010 and 2011, because the final book contains a particularly dense conclusion.
