The book begins at a Death Eater meeting at the home of Lucius Malfoy, with Snape and a Ministry official, Yaxley, informing Lord Voldemort of the date Harry Potter will permanently leave the Dursleys' house. Voldemort plans to kill Harry while he is being moved to a new safe place, which must happen before he turns seventeen and his safety with the Dursleys expires. Voldemort borrows Lucius' wand, as his own is ineffective against Harry's (the wands share twin cores). On the night he is to leave the Dursleys' home, Harry reads the obituary of Albus Dumbledore, discovering details of Dumbledore's convoluted early life. He regrets not having asked Dumbledore more about his past.
After the Dursleys have been escorted to safety by a pair of wizards (and Dudley has expressed his surprising respect for Harry), the Order of the Phoenix arrives to sneak Harry out of his house. Despite an attempted decoy involving six younger members of the Order of the Phoenix taking Polyjuice Potion to make themselves look like Harry, the real Harry is correctly identified by his "trademark" disarming spell and attacked by Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Hedwig, Harry's owl, is killed by a stray Killing Curse. After narrowly escaping, Harry and the Order eventually reach the Weasley residence, The Burrow. George Weasley has lost an ear to Snape, and Alastor Moody had been killed by Voldemort himself.
A few days later, during Harry's 17th birthday party, the Minister of Magic arrives at The Burrow to give Harry, Ron, and Hermione bequests from Dumbledore's will: Ron is given Dumbledore's Deluminator, with the power to capture lights; Hermione receives a book of children's stories written in Ancient Runes; Harry inherits Godric Gryffindor's sword and the Snitch that Harry caught in his first ever Quidditch match. The Ministry withholds the sword after investigating all the items, claiming that the sword was not Dumbledore's in the first place. The three try to discover the purpose of the bequests without success; Harry only manages to find an inscription on the Snitch: "I open at the close."
Near the end of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour's wedding reception, news comes that Voldemort has taken over the Ministry of Magic and killed the minister. The Death Eaters attack again. Harry, Ron and Hermione flee the wedding, first to a Muggle café, but after being attacked by Death Eaters yet again, to 12 Grimmauld Place, the former home of the Black family. The trio realise, after going through Regulus Black's room, that Regulus Arcturus Black was the R.A.B. who removed the locket from the lake, dying in the attempt. However, the house elf Kreacher informs them that Mundungus Fletcher has stolen the locket from the house. Fletcher is caught by Kreacher and unwillingly reveals that he has passed it on to Dolores Umbridge as a bribe to keep him from being arrested. Harry, Ron and Hermione were visited by Remus Lupin, a member of the Order of the Phoenix, who wanted to offer his help in their quest. But when further questioned, they found out that he had left his wife and unborn child. Harry calls him a coward and drives him out of the house in a storm of rage.
The search for the Horcruxes
After a month of spying on the Ministry of Magic, the trio attempt to infiltrate it using Polyjuice Potion, in order to retrieve the Horcrux from Dolores Umbridge. They eventually locate Umbridge as she is interrogating Muggle-borns. The trio take the Horcrux, and knock her out in the process. They free a number of Muggle-born wizards and witches, and encourage them to leave the country. However, the trio's hiding place at 12 Grimmauld Place is discovered and they are forced to flee to the countryside, moving from place to place, never staying anywhere too long.
After several months of this, they overhear a conversation between a number of outlaws revealing that the Ministry only has a replica of Gryffindor's sword; the real sword's location is unknown. Harry questions the portrait of Phineas Nigellas, and discovers that Dumbledore used the sword to destroy a Horcrux, the Gaunts' ring. Having been unable to destroy the locket, Harry suggests attempting to locate the real sword. Ron feels that this is yet another pointless quest. After an argument with Harry, he leaves the group. Harry and Hermione are greatly saddened, but decide to go to Godric's Hollow on the off-chance that Dumbledore left the sword for them there.
Arriving in Godric's Hollow, the two visit the graveyard where both Harry and Dumbledore's families are buried. They encounter the old woman Bathilda Bagshot, an old family friend of Dumbledore's who wrote A History of Magic. Thinking she may have been entrusted with the sword, they follow her to her house. But this is a trap; the apparent Bagshot is actually Nagini, Voldemort's snake familiar, and Harry and Hermione only narrowly escape from Voldemort. Hermione accidentally breaks Harry's wand in the process; an attempt to mend it using Hermione's wand does not work.
On the run for a few more days, eventually a doe Patronus appears on the edge of their camp and leads Harry to the real Godric Gryffindor's sword, hidden in a frozen forest pool. Harry dives after the sword, but the locket Horcrux which Harry is carrying responds and tries to strangle Harry. Ron returns and saves Harry from drowning, also retrieving the sword from the pool. Ron destroys the Horcrux with the sword despite the locket playing on his worst fears. Back at camp, Ron informs Harry and Hermione that the Deluminator given to him by Dumbledore showed him the way back to them. Hermione is less than pleased with Ron on his return, but has discovered their next step: to speak to Xenophilius Lovegood and ask him about Grindelwald's mark, a symbol which has shown up in the book Dumbledore bequeathed to her, and several other times during their journey.
The Deathly Hallows
The sign of the Deathly Hallows
The sign of the Deathly Hallows
At Lovegood's home, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are told an old wizard fairy tale about three brothers who bested Death, each receiving a magical item for it, the three Deathly Hallows – an unbeatable wand (called the Elder Wand), a stone that could bring back the dead (the Resurrection Stone), and an Invisibility Cloak that never failed with age. Harry believes that his own cloak is that Invisibility Cloak, and is very excited, but Lovegood soon betrays them to the Ministry; Luna, his daughter, has been taken captive by Death Eaters and he believes that giving them Harry Potter will cause them to set her free. The trio barely escape from the wizards sent to fetch them, but Harry is emboldened and believes that they need to collect the Deathly Hallows in order to defeat Voldemort.
A few weeks later, the three are no closer to finding the Deathly Hallows or more Horcruxes. They manage to tune in to a rogue wizard radio broadcast called Potterwatch, which gives news on what is happening in the wizarding world without censorship from the Ministry. Excited, Harry accidentally says Voldemort's name, and Voldemort's followers—having made the name Taboo so that anyone saying it can be immediately traced—capture Harry, Ron, and Hermione, taking them to the Malfoy's manor. There, Hermione is tortured and interrogated by Bellatrix Lestrange to find how she acquired Godric Gryffindor's sword, believing it to have been stolen from her vault (in fact, Bellatrix has the fake). Harry and Ron are imprisoned in the basement with Dean Thomas, Griphook the goblin, Ollivander the wand maker, and Luna Lovegood. In a panic, Harry asks the broken fragment of his two-way mirror for help, and Dobby appears to free them. Dobby saves Dean, Ollivander, and Luna, but they make too much noise and Wormtail is sent to check on the prisoners. Harry and Ron subdue him, after Wormtail cannot bring himself to kill Harry (because of the life debt he owes him). Ron takes away Wormtail's wand, and Wormtail's artificial hand—made by Voldemort—strangles its owner to death for the mercy he has shown. Harry, Ron and Dobby rush upstairs to save Hermione. In the battle, Harry disarms Draco Malfoy. The trio escape as Voldemort is close to arriving, but Dobby is slain by Bellatrix Lestrange as they flee to the home of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour.
Harry and his friends bury Dobby and begin planning anew. Harry questions Ollivander about the Elder Wand, but chooses not to try and prevent Voldemort from acquiring it from the tomb of its last owner, Dumbledore. Instead, he questions Griphook about how to break into Gringotts, and in exchange offers him the goblin-made sword of Godric Gryffindor. After extensive planning, the trio and Griphook penetrate the vault's defenses (including a captive dragon) and find the Horcrux, Hufflepuff's cup, but are detected. Griphook seizes this opportunity to flee with the sword. Harry, Ron, and Hermione narrowly escape on the back of the dragon.
Harry has a vision shortly after their escape: Voldemort now knows that they are hunting his Horcruxes, and is listing their locations. He reveals that the final Horcrux, which Harry suspects to be a relic of Rowena Ravenclaw's, is hidden within Hogwarts. Harry decides that they must find it immediately, before Voldemort discovers his other Horcruxes missing and puts even more protection on Hogwarts.
The Battle of Hogwarts
At Hogsmeade, the trio are rescued from Death Eaters by the Hog's Head bartender, Aberforth Dumbledore. Aberforth explains that he has the other half of Harry's two-way mirror and that he sent Dobby to rescue them. He then opens a secret passageway to Hogwarts through a portrait of his sister Ariana. After Harry alerts the Heads of Houses at Hogwarts to Voldemort's imminent arrival, the younger students are evacuated and the Order of the Phoenix are called to help defend the school.
Harry learns about Ravenclaw's Diadem and realises he had seen it the previous year in the Room of Requirement. The young Tom Riddle had discovered the room and hidden it there when he came to Hogwarts to ask Dumbledore for a job. Ron and Hermione return from the Chamber of Secrets, where they have retrieved Basilisk fangs in order to destroy the remaining Horcruxes. Hermione has already stabbed Hufflepuff's Cup. The trio go to the Room of Requirement, but are confronted by Draco Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle. Crabbe mishandles a powerful spell and sets fire to the contents of the Room. Harry and his friends manage to escape on two broomsticks, retrieving the Diadem and rescuing Draco and Goyle. Crabbe does not escape and is presumed dead. Harry holds up the Diadem only to see it fall to pieces, destroyed by the magical fire.
After having another vision of Voldemort, Harry leads his friends to the Shrieking Shack. There, they see Voldemort kill Snape. Voldemort believes that Snape, having killed Dumbledore, is the master of the Elder Wand and that the wand's power will now transfer to him. As he dies, Snape gives up his memories to Harry, who uses the Pensieve to find out that Snape was on Dumbledore's side all along, motivated by his lifelong love for Lily Evans (Harry's mother). Dumbledore, knowing that he will die within a year from the curse on the Gaunts' Ring, asks Snape to kill him to prevent Draco Malfoy from doing it. Snape has been acting to protect Harry all the while, and it was he who sent the doe Patronus (the same form as Lily Evans's Patronus) to lead Harry to Gryffindor's Sword. However, Harry also discovers that he himself is a Horcrux, and that Voldemort cannot be killed while Harry remains alive.
Resigned to his fate, Harry makes his way towards the Forbidden Forest, where Voldemort is waiting for him. On his way out of the castle, he encounters Neville, and informs him that the snake Nagini must be destroyed. Harry also sees the bodies of Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks and Colin Creevey. Realizing that his final meeting with Voldemort is "the close" referred to in the riddle on the Snitch, Harry puts it to his mouth saying, "I am about to die". The Snitch opens up to reveal the Resurrection Stone. Harry uses the Stone to summon the spirits of James Potter,Lily Evans, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin, who glide along by his side while under the invisibility cloak, giving him support and protecting him from the army of dementors roaming the forest.
Having reached Voldemort, Harry drops the Stone and reveals himself. Prepared for death, he allows Voldemort to hit him with the Avada Kedavra curse. However, Harry awakens in what appears to be King's Cross railway station. A wounded and dying creature lies on the floor, representing the part of Voldemort's soul which resided within Harry but has now been removed. He meets the deceased Albus Dumbledore, who explains that Harry cannot die while Voldemort lives, since he used Harry's blood to recreate his body. He discovers that Dumbledore sought the Hallows with Grindelwald for less than noble reasons, resulting in the death of his sister Ariana during a fight between himself, Aberforth and Grindelwald. Only Harry is worthy of possessing the Hallows, because only Harry wants to possess them for noble reasons. Harry is given the choice of "going on", or continuing with life and stopping Voldemort; he chooses the latter. It is unclear whether Harry actually dies, or is merely being visited by Dumbledore in a dream.
Back in the forest, on Voldemort's orders, Hagrid carries Harry (seemingly dead) back to Hogwarts as a trophy. Neville Longbottom bravely faces down Voldemort, and refuses to join him. As punishment, Voldemort puts the Sorting Hat upon his head, and sets it ablaze. At that moment, reinforcements charge in and the battle resumes. Amidst the confusion, Harry covers himself with the Invisibility Cloak and Neville pulls Godric Gryffindor's sword from the Sorting Hat and beheads Nagini, destroying the final Horcrux. After Bellatrix Lestrange is killed by Molly Weasley, Harry confronts Voldemort. He is faced with seemingly impossible odds, as Voldemort possesses the Elder Wand. However, Harry guesses correctly that Draco Malfoy is the true master of the Elder Wand, not Snape, for it was Draco who had disarmed Dumbledore and thus beaten him in battle, while Snape was acting according to Dumbledore's wishes. Because Harry had himself disarmed Malfoy earlier in the book, mastery of the wand has passed to him. When Voldemort strikes Harry with the killing curse from the Elder Wand, Harry responds by casting his "trademark" Expelliarmus spell. The Elder Wand refuses to kill its master, and the curse rebounds to kill Voldemort.
A massive celebration erupts, during which Harry seeks solitude with Ron and Hermione in Dumbledore's office, where he receives a standing ovation from the portraits of the old Headmasters. Harry uses the immense power of the Elder Wand to repair his own, choosing to return the former to Dumbledore's grave instead of keeping it for himself. If he is never beaten in battle, the ownership of the Elder Wand will die with him. He also confirms to the Dumbledore portrait that, despite proving himself the only worthy possessor of all the Deathly Hallows, he will not seek out the Stone in the forest. He decides though to keep the Invisibility Cloak; in the children's story, the cloak was the wisest choice.
Epilogue
In the story's epilogue, set nineteen years later, Harry and Ginny have three children named James, Albus Severus, and Lily. Ron and Hermione have two children named Rose and Hugo. The two families meet at King's Cross Station when taking their children to Platform Nine and Three Quarters for their departure to Hogwarts. Lily is too young to attend Hogwarts just yet, Albus is entering his first year at the school, and James is already an experienced Gryffindor. Neville Longbottom is now the Herbology professor at the school. At the station, Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione spot Draco Malfoy across the platform with his unnamed wife and their son Scorpius Malfoy; Malfoy gives Harry a curt nod. Harry notes that his scar has not hurt in nineteen years. The book ends with the words "All was well."
