This book is the seventh and the last book of the Harry Potter series that centers its story on the boy wizard Harry and his struggle for the greater good.
The book opens with Harry Potter's decision to finally defeat Voldemort. Harry starts on the difficult mission with his friends, Hermione and Ron.
Their first target is to find and destroy Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes. Only then can Voldemort be destroyed.
But the task does not seem to be an easy one. Harry has been hearing disturbing rumours about the past life of his previous headmaster, Dumbledore.
Often the three friends have to starve. The winter is making their journey more difficult. In the absence of proper planning the progress is slow. Their spirits are low too. They decide to visit Godric's Hollow to look for clues and almost get caught by Voldemort. It appears as though Voldemort knows of their plans in advance. They face many near-death experiences and their morale is very low. The situation worsens when Harry discovers that his magic wand was broken during a battle.
They get excited when they learn about the three mysterious magical objects known as the Deathly Hallows. These three objects give their possessor mastery over death, which just might give Harry a chance to defeat Voldemort.
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows won many awards. The most notable among them is the 2008 Colorado Blue Spruce Book Award. The book was also adapted as a two part movie.
