Which novel completed J.K. Rowling’s original seven-book Harry Potter series in 2007?
Answer
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows completed J.K. Rowling’s original seven-book Harry Potter series in 2007.
The novel was published in the United Kingdom on 21 July 2007. It follows Harry, Ron and Hermione as they leave Hogwarts and search for objects connected with the defeat of Lord Voldemort. The title refers to three legendary magical objects: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone and the Cloak of Invisibility.
Deathly Hallows was the final main-series novel, although Rowling later expanded the wider wizarding world through companion books, screenplays and other works. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a stage play set after the events of the seven novels, not the eighth novel in the original series.
The book was released simultaneously in several markets and became one of the fastest-selling books in publishing history. Its publication ended the central narrative arc that began with Harry’s arrival at Hogwarts.
