Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Review

Summary

Voldemort seized control of the Ministry of Magic after Dumbledore's death. Meanwhile, Harry is about to turn seventeen and will no longer be protected by his deceased mother. Members of the Order of the Phoenix relocate the Dursleys and plan to fly Harry to the Burrow using decoys. When they leave, they are attacked by Death Eaters, and "Mad-Eye" Moody and Hedwig are dead, while George Weasley is injured. Voldemort arrives to assassinate Harry, but Harry's wand defends him on its own.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione are getting ready to track down Voldemort's final four Horcruxes. Each receives a Golden Snitch from Dumbledore, a Deluminator from Ron, and "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" from Hermione. They are also handed the Sword of Godric Gryffindor, which has the ability to erase Horcruxes, but the Ministry bans them from using it. The Ministry falls to Voldemort during Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour's wedding, and Death Eaters attack the wedding banquet. The three flees to 12 Grimmauld Place, Sirius Black's ancestral house, which he has given to Harry.

Sirius's late brother, Regulus, took the Horcrux locket and concealed it in the home, they discover. Mundungus Fletcher later took it. House-elf Kreacher tracks down Fletcher, who claims Dolores Umbridge stole the locket. The trio infiltrates the Ministry and steals the locket from Umbridge, but their escape compromises Grimmauld Place. They take refuge in the woods, unable to destroy the locket and with no other leads. The sinister aspect of the locket upsets Ron, and he leaves the group.

Harry and Hermione discover Dumbledore's relationship with the wicked wizard Gellert Grindelwald. Nagini attacks them as they journey to Godric's Hollow, Harry's birthplace. They manage to flee, but Harry's wand is damaged. Patronus, a doe, leads Harry to a pond housing Gryffindor's sword one night. The locket around Harry's neck nearly kills him as he tries to reclaim it. Ron saves him and smashes the locket after being directed back by the Deluminator.

Hermione discovers a sign worn by Luna Lovegood's father, Xenophilius Lovegood, in Dumbledore's book. According to him, the sign depicts the fabled Deathly Hallows: the Elder Wand, an unbeatable wand; the Resurrection Stone, which can call the dead; and an impenetrable Invisibility Cloak. When Xenophilius begins to act suspiciously, the group realizes Luna has been kidnapped. In exchange for Luna's release, Xenophillius summons Death Eaters to capture them, but they escape. Voldemort, Harry deduces, is looking for the Elder Wand, which Dumbledore received after defeating Grindelwald. Harry deduces that his Invisibility Cloak is the third Hallow, and his Snitch holds the Resurrection Stone.

The group is apprehended and transported to Malfoy Manor. Bellatrix tortures Hermione because she believes they stole Gryffindor's sword from her Gringotts vault. They escape to Bill and Fleur's cottage with the assistance of Dobby the house-elf, along with other inmates, including the goblin Griphook. Bellatrix murders Dobby during the escape. Voldemort steals the Elder Wand from Dumbledore's grave, according to Harry's vision.

The group decides to break into Bellatrix's vault in the hopes of finding another Horcrux. They break in, take Hufflepuff's cup, and flee with Griphook's assistance, but Griphook steals Gryffindor's sword in the process. Voldemort is alerted of the robbery, and he decides to examine his Horcruxes, revealing the remaining ones to Harry: Nagini and one buried at Hogwarts.

The three arrive at Hogwarts with the assistance of Dumbledore's brother Aberforth. Voldemort launches an attack on Hogwarts after learning of Harry's location. Teachers and kids band together to defend the school. Ron and Hermione use basilisk fangs from the Chamber of Secrets to smash Hufflepuff's cup. Harry realizes Ravenclaw's diadem is the Horcrux. Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle attack the three as they search for the diadem in the Room of Requirement. Crabbe assaults them with a cursed fire but is unable to control it, killing him and destroying the diadem. Meanwhile, many people are slain as a result of Voldemort's attack, including Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, and Fred Weasley.

Voldemort believes the Elder Wand is not working as it should. Voldemort murders Snape because he believes Snape, who murdered Dumbledore, is its rightful master. As Snape dies, Harry comes, and Snape passes him memories to examine in the Pensieve. They disclose that Snape adored Harry's mother and worked as a double agent for Voldemort. He had kept an eye on the three, summoning the doe Patronus. It is also revealed that Dumbledore was dying as a result of his mismanagement of the ring Horcrux and that he had arranged his "death" at Snape's hands.

Harry also discovers that, unbeknownst to Voldemort, he is an inadvertent Horcrux who must die at Voldemort's hands to become mortal. Harry surrenders, directing Neville Longbottom to assassinate Nagini. On the journey, he uses Snitch's Resurrection Stone to reconcile with his parents and other departed loved ones. When he encounters Voldemort, he drops the stone, and Voldemort casts the Killing Curse on him.

Dumbledore greets Harry as he awakens in a dreamy place like King's Cross. He says that Voldemort's first Killing Curse left a piece of his soul in Harry, resulting in their bond. The most recent Killing Curse removed the soul piece, allowing Harry to resurrect or "go on." Harry resurrects and pretends to die. Voldemort declares a ceasefire and demands their surrender at Hogwarts. Neville, on the other hand, takes Gryffindor's sword from the Sorting Hat and murders Nagini.

Molly Weasley murders Bellatrix, and Harry reveals himself to Voldemort. He reveals that Elder Wand's fealty is transferred by defeating, rather than murdering, its former master. The Elder Wand's master had been Draco, not Snape, who had disarmed Dumbledore before Snape murdered him. Harry now wields the Elder Wand after disarming Draco at Malfoy Manor. Voldemort casts the Killing Curse on Harry, but the spell returns and kills Voldemort. Harry repairs his original wand with the Elder Wand before returning it to Dumbledore's grave. He maintains his Invisibility Cloak and abandons the Resurrection Stone. The wizarding world has returned to normalcy.

Epilogue

The Major characters are seeing their children go to Hogwarts 19 years later. James Sirius, Albus Severus, and Lily Luna are Harry and Ginny's three children. Rose and Hugo are Ron and Hermione's two children. Teddy Lupin, Harry's godson, is seen kissing Bill and Fleur's daughter Victoire, as Draco and his wife are sending off their son Scorpius. Albus is about to start his first year at Hogwarts and is concerned that he will be sent to Slytherin. Harry reassures him, reminding his son of Snape's courage and how the Sorting Hat might explain his wishes. Harry remarks that "everything is good" because his scar hasn't ached in 19 years.

Summary

Draco's mother, Narcissa Malfoy, and her sister, Bellatrix Lestrange, a Lord Voldemort supporter, meet with Severus Snape, a member of the Order of the Phoenix. Narcissa is concerned that her son will not be able to complete a mission that Voldemort has assigned to him. Snape swears to help Draco in an Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa.

Harry is collected by Dumbledore and escorted to the Burrow, the home of Harry's best friend Ron Weasley. They take a detour to the house of Horace Slughorn, a former Hogwarts Potions teacher, and Harry unknowingly assists Slughorn in persuading him to return to teaching.

Harry says he believes Draco is a Death Eater while riding the Hogwarts Express to Hogwarts. Draco brags to his pals about a duty Voldemort has set him, which Harry overhears. Draco captures Harry and petrifies him, fracturing his nose in the process. Nymphadora Tonks tracks Harry down, fixes his nose, and takes him to Hogwarts.

Snape will teach Defence Against the Dark Arts, while Slughorn will teach Potions, according to Dumbledore. Harry discovers an old potion book that previously belonged to "The Half-Blood Prince," a person who penned various spells and advice in the book. Harry does exceptionally well in Potions class, earning a bottle of Felix Felicis, sometimes known as "Liquid Luck." Hermione, on the other hand, is wary about the book.

Ron and Hermione get closer, but after learning about Hermione's history with Viktor Krum through his sister Ginny, Ron dates Lavender Brown, making Hermione envious. After a Gryffindor Quidditch triumph, Harry develops emotions for Ginny, and the two subsequently begin dating with Ron's blessing. Throughout the year, Draco becomes increasingly erratic, acting in increasingly dubious ways.

Meanwhile, Dumbledore and Harry utilize the Pensieve to analyze memories of individuals from Voldemort's history in order to aid Harry in his anticipated battle with Voldemort. Slughorn is seen chatting with a young Tom Riddle in one of the memories, but it has been changed, so Dumbledore orders Harry to retrieve the true memory from Slughorn.

Slughorn instructs Riddle about the procedure of dividing one's soul and concealing it in Horcruxes, making the user almost eternal, and Harry uses Felix Felicis to retrieve the memories. Six Horcruxes were made by Voldemort, and they must be destroyed in order for Voldemort to be eliminated. Tom Riddle's notebook from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, as well as a ring belonging to Voldemort's grandfather, has already been destroyed; four more remain.

Harry and Dumbledore travel to a cave at the end of the year to recover a Horcrux, Slytherin's locket. The locket is in the center of a lake, in a potion-filled basin. Dumbledore consumes the potion in order to obtain the locket, gravely weakening him. Harry and Dumbledore retrieve the locket and head to Hogwarts to locate the Dark Mark above a school tower after fending off Inferi concealed in the lake.

They reach the top of the tower and are confronted by Draco, who explains that his objective is to assassinate Dumbledore and that he assisted Death Eaters in gaining access to Hogwarts. Draco, on the other hand, is powerless to hurt Dumbledore. When Snape comes, he murders Dumbledore. Harry chases Snape, ignoring the conflict unfolding within Hogwarts, but is vanquished by him. Snape announces that he is the Half-Blood Prince before fleeing.

To protect Ginny, Harry breaks up with her after Dumbledore's funeral. He realizes the locket is a forgery, with a message from "R. A. B." inside. Instead of returning to Hogwarts the next year, Harry proclaims his plan to seek for Horcruxes. Ron and Hermione have promised to follow him.
