Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the seventh novel in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series.
Published on 21 July 2007, it concludes the main story of Harry’s conflict with Lord Voldemort. The title refers to three legendary magical objects: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Invisibility Cloak.
The novel follows Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they leave Hogwarts to search for Horcruxes. Their mission reveals more of the history of Voldemort’s rise and brings the series to its final confrontation. Unlike most earlier books, the story spends extensive time away from Hogwarts.
The book was released simultaneously in many countries and became one of the fastest-selling novels ever published at the time. It is the final original Harry Potter novel, though later works expanded the franchise through stage production, screenplays, films, and reference books.
