Which novel closes J.K. Rowling’s original Harry Potter book series?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows closes J.K. Rowling’s original Harry Potter book series.

The novel was published in the United Kingdom on 21 July 2007. It follows Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they leave Hogwarts to seek and destroy Voldemort’s Horcruxes. The story brings the central conflict to its final battle and resolves the major arc that began with Harry’s arrival in the wizarding world.

Deathly Hallows is the seventh novel, but it produced eight films. The film adaptation was divided into Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 and Part 2, a decision that sometimes leads people to describe the franchise as having eight books.

The title refers to three legendary magical objects: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Cloak of Invisibility. These objects form one of the novel’s major narrative threads.
