The story behind the answer

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was published on 21 July 2007, ending J.K. Rowling’s main Harry Potter series.

It is the seventh novel and follows Harry, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger as they leave Hogwarts to find and destroy Voldemort’s remaining Horcruxes. The book brings the central conflict to its conclusion and resolves the series’ major prophecy and character arcs.

The global release was treated as a major publishing event. Fans waited outside bookshops for midnight launches, while publishers took extensive measures to protect the story’s plot before publication.

The title refers to three legendary magical objects: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Invisibility Cloak. The novel was later adapted into two films, released in 2010 and 2011.
