Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Summary

At the Malfoy residence, Snape shares with Voldemort the information regarding Harry's moving plans organized by his friends. Harry, who is preparing to leave his Privet Drive home, reads two obituaries for Dumbledore, sparking a realization that he may not have known him as intimately as he assumed. Given the increasing danger from Voldemort, the Dursleys have to disappear too. Harry's transfer to the Weasleys’ residence, the Burrow, is led by the Order of the Phoenix and involves six of Harry’s allies taking a potion to mimic his appearance as a decoy. Snape’s tip-off to the Death Eaters results in an attack on Harry and his friends. Despite Voldemort’s chase, Harry’s wand wards him off mysteriously. Upon landing at the Burrow, Harry is informed about Moody's death and George Weasley's injury. Harry then starts receiving visions of Voldemort’s actions.

Harry, along with Ron and Hermione, gather necessary resources for the quest that Dumbledore left them: locating and destroying the Horcruxes, into which Voldemort had split his soul to gain immortality. The three are handed items from Dumbledore's will by the Minister of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour. The trio are initially clueless about the importance of these items. As the Weasleys host a wedding, it gets disrupted by Death Eaters announcing Voldemort’s control over the Ministry of Magic. On the run, the trio teleport to London only to be attacked by Death Eaters. They find refuge at Sirius Black’s enchanted house, where they make sense of the initials R.A.B. and the stolen Horcrux locket. They summon Kreacher, the house-elf, who reveals the locket's whereabouts.

Once they have the locket, the trio are forced to abandon the house due to a Death Eater threat. Moving from one spot to another, they remain clueless about the next Horcrux or how to destroy the locket. Harry continues to receive visions of Voldemort’s pursuits. In a forest, they learn about the real Sword of Gryffindor's power to destroy Horcruxes. After a brief falling out, Ron returns to the group, rescuing Harry and destroying the locket. They then learn about the Deathly Hallows from Xenophilius Lovegood but narrowly escape his attempt to betray them to the Death Eaters. They get caught and are taken to Malfoy Manor where they escape with the help of Dobby, the house-elf. Breaking into a Gringotts bank vault with the help of Griphook the goblin, they steal the Hufflepuff Cup. Harry, through a vision, learns about the final Horcrux at Hogwarts, leading to a huge battle as Voldemort and his followers attack the school. Snape's memories reveal Harry's destiny and his sacrifice leads to the final duel where Harry kills Voldemort. In the end, Harry, now married to Ginny, and Ron and Hermione, see their children off to Hogwarts.
