Without the Horcruxes, the dark lord will no longer be invincible and will be vulnerable towards all who seek to kill him. Or will he? Secrets about a so called “Elder Wand” will be told. Why did Snape betray Albus Dumbledore and kill him?

Harry has no guidance without Dumbledore and is confused about who to trust. Will he be able to survive with the horrific death eaters on their way to capture him? Where will he hide? How will Harry avenge his parents death?

At last, the seventh and final book has arrived.

Harry potter and the Deathly Hallows is based on Harry’s seventh year of knowing he’s a wizard, the toughest time of his life.

Voldemort, in his reigning years, split his soul into seven (known as Horcruxes), so that he would be able to come back to life if ever it was taken from him. He hid these in places sacred to him, places he had felt comfort, strongholds that he knew of.

After the sudden death of Albus Dumbledore, Harry is left with a deathly and dangerous task of finding and destroying the seven horcruxes of Voldemort. He is unsure of where to go and what to do. He doesn’t know who to trust.

With this new task in mind, Harry and best friends Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger, decide they will not attend Hogwarts: school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but instead, embark on a journey to destroy Voldemort.

There are new spells to be learnt, and new dangers to face. Secrets to be found and stories to be told. Who is the mysterious R.A.B, and why is Dumbledore dead. For all the answers to these questions and more read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

“All will be revealed”, J.K.Rowling.
