Which year saw the publication of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?

The story behind the answer

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was published in 2007.

The seventh and final Harry Potter novel was released on 21 July 2007. It follows Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they leave Hogwarts to search for Horcruxes and confront the remaining power of Lord Voldemort.

The publication completed the main narrative that began with Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in 1997. The seven novels therefore appeared across a decade, although the fictional story covers Harry’s adolescence and the final stages of the wizarding war.

The title refers to three legendary magical objects: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Cloak of Invisibility. Readers sometimes confuse the book’s publication year with the dates of its two film adaptations, which were released in 2010 and 2011.
