Which three objects make up the Deathly Hallows in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series?

The story behind the answer

The Deathly Hallows are the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone and the Invisibility Cloak.

In J.K. Rowling’s story, the three objects are said to have been created for three brothers who met Death. The Elder Wand is described as the most powerful wand, the Resurrection Stone can summon an echo of the dead, and the Invisibility Cloak conceals its wearer without losing its power over time.

The Hallows become central to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, when Harry, Ron and Hermione learn their history from The Tales of Beedle the Bard. The objects are separate from Voldemort’s Horcruxes, although characters sometimes confuse the two groups of magical artifacts.

Harry eventually possesses or uses all three, but the story emphasizes that wisdom and personal choice matter more than simply collecting magical power.
