Which J.K. Rowling novel is the seventh and final book in the Harry Potter series?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the seventh and final novel in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series.

Bloomsbury published the book in the United Kingdom on 21 July 2007. The story follows Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they search for objects linked to Lord Voldemort’s immortality instead of returning for a normal year at Hogwarts. Their mission brings together major mysteries introduced throughout the earlier books.

The title refers to three legendary magical objects: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Cloak of Invisibility. These objects are central to the book’s mythology, but the plot also emphasizes the choices characters make about power, loyalty, sacrifice, and death.

The film adaptation was divided into two parts, released in 2010 and 2011. That split does not mean there are eight main novels; Rowling’s original book series remains a seven-volume sequence.
