#1 . Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows



AUTHOR - Rowling J.K.

GENRE - Children's Fiction 

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is a fancy novel written by British author J.K. Rowling and the seventh and final novel of the main Harry Potter series. It was released on 14 July 2007 in the United Kingdom by  Bloomsbury Publishing,, in the United States by Scholastic, and in Canada by Raincoast Books. The novel chronicles the events directly following Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2005) and the final confrontation between the wizards Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort.

 

Throughout the six previous novels in the series, the main character Harry Potter has struggled with the difficulties of adolescence along with being famous as the only person ever to survive the Killing Curse. The curse was cast by Tom Riddle, better known as Lord Voldemort, a powerful evil wizard who murdered Harry's parents and attempted to kill Harry as a baby, due to a prophecy which claimed Harry would be able to stop him. As an orphan, Harry was placed in the care of his Muggle (non-magical) relatives Petunia Dursley and Vernon Dursley, with their son Dudley Dursley.

Major Characters

Harry Potter

The protagonist of the series, Harry has been left a seemingly impossible task by Dumbledore: to track down and destroy Voldemort’s remaining Horcruxes. He is guided by his love for his friends and shows courage throughout the book, sacrificing himself to destroy the piece of Voldemort’s soul in his body.

Ronald Weasly

Best friend of Harry Potter, Ron is the second youngest of the seven Weasley kids. Although he struggles to be seen in the shadows, his heart is pure and he plays a significant role in destroying the Horcruxes. He is fond of Hermione but often feels insecure about himself, until Hermione admits a mutual love

Hermione Granger

Best friend of Harry Potter, Hermione was born to Muggle parents and is regarded as the “brightest witch of her age.” She is exceptionally talented and charms many objects to aid in their quest for the Horcruxes. She loves books and will often turn to them for solutions. She erases herself from her parents’ memories and hides them in Australia to protect them. She admits her love for Ron when he insists they protect the house-elves, a cause she has cared about for many years.

Albus Dumbledore

Former Headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore guided Harry, even though he hid information from Harry out of love to protect him. Although deceased in this book, he remains a presence. He defeated the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, but as a young boy he himself was tempted by the powers of the Deathly Hallows

Severus Snape

The man who killed Dumbledore, and a professor at Hogwarts, who later becomes headmaster. Before killing Dumbledore, Snape had been both a member of Dumbledore’s Order of the Phoenix and one of Voldemort’s Death Eaters. Dumbledore steadfastly believed Snape to be spying for him against Voldemort, and Voldemort believed Snape to be his spy against Dumbledore. Though numerous members of the Order and the Death Eaters suspect Snape of being a traitor to their respective causes, Snape’s true loyalties are a mystery throughout most of the series

This Harry Potter series is presented as a movie series. Below is a part of a movie related to this storybook.
