| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows | comment |
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the seventh and final instalment of the Harry Potter series, published on July 21, 2007.Harry's not going to school this year, but don't worry—it's for a good cause. Harry, Ron, and Hermione's only hope to defeat Voldemort is to destroy all his Horcruxes before he seizes total power. Harry, eager to get started on his hunt for Horcruxes, gets slammed by Voldemort's quick overthrow of the Ministry, forcing the trio into hiding, where they must contend with themselves, who they are, what they are doing, feelings of helplessness, and if they ever really knew Dumbledore.Also, remember how the previous few books just had one person die at the end? This time, no one is safe at any point in the story. Rowling had warned in interviews that book 7 would be a bloodbath and wasn't kidding.The story of Harry is continued in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, a play that debuted in the summer of 2016 at London's West End, with a book version of the script being released the day after.The film adaptation was split into two films, released in 2010 and 2011 respectively. | |

A Form You Are Comfortable With | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_106f1a77 | comment |
It's possible that when Harry Potter speaks to Albus Dumbledore in King's Cross, he's really speaking to Death himself using a form that Harry would trust. If this is the case, it would seem that Death is a truly benevolent being in the long run, as he is very kind to Harry and offers him a choice to live again or move on to the next life. | |

Retired Badass | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_112daba0 | comment |
Retired Badass:invoked Averted with Harry and Ron when they grow up, but played straight with almost every other major character. Particularly Neville, who settled into a nice, quiet teaching position at Hogwarts. Word of God says Ron helps run Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes with George and also after the Battle of Hogwarts that he does become an Auror with Harry and Neville. Whether he's still an Auror or working with George at the time of the epilogue is unknown. | |

Artistic Licence – History: The Bloody Baron, who is a contemporary of Rowena Ravenclaw, should not be a Baron as they didn't exist until after the Norman Conquest in 1066, when Hogwarts was said by Professor Binns in 1992 to have been founded "over a thousand years ago", i.e. prior to the year 992. Rowena must have had her children very late in life (if we assume the Founders were in their twenties and thirties when Hogwarts was founded) for her to have a teenage Helena after 1066. | |

| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Given how each book in the Harry Potter franchise has invariably been darker than the last, it would make sense that Deathly Hallows is the darkest of them all. The book has several moments that wouldn't seem out of place in a straight-up horror novel, such as Harry watching helplessly as Wormtail is strangled to death by his own magical hand, and Nagini occupying the body of Bathilda Bagshot. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The Deathly Hallows symbol. Viktor Krum is enraged to see Xenophilius Lovegood wearing it as a pendant, because it was used by Grindelwald, but it turns out the mark was originally benign and unluckily appropriated by evildoers. Given that Grindelwald is fantasy version of the European fascists of the early 20th century , it's a good parallel to the swastika, once a benign religious symbol that pre-dates the Nazis by millennia, being found in Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism. The scene with students and teachers mourning the Battle of Hogwarts casualties in the Great Hall comes across like the aftermath of a school shooting. Especially in the movie. | |

It May Help You on Your Quest: The items from Dumbledore's will: The Deluminator, the Snitch, and The Tales of Beedle the Bard. The Deluminator comes in very handy when the heroes are locked in the basement of Malfoy Manor. The Snitch actually conceals the Resurrection Stone, one of the Deathly Hallows. And The Tales of Beedle the Bard helps alert Hermione to the Hallows in the first place. | |

Brainwashed and Crazy | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_173909 | comment |
Ron, when he returns after leaving Harry and Hermione. As Harry points out, Ron not only saved his life on returning, but was Brainwashed and Crazy when he left in the first place. Further, Ron's arrival was just in time to save Harry's life, and then Harry lets Ron destroy the locket — an experience that turns out to be harder on Ron than Harry expected. To Harry, all this makes up for Ron's prior behaviour. Toyed with on Hermione's part, as she obviously forgives him instantly, but tortures him (metaphorically speaking) on a regular basis until she feels enough time has passed to show it. | |

Kirk Summation: Harry has quite an epic one at the end of the book before his final duel with Voldemort. It includes Harry telling Voldemort his Horcruxes are gone, reffering to him as "Riddle" several times, revealing that Snape had been Dumbledore's man all along, pointing out that his Heroic Sacrifice had protected the defenders of Hogwarts from him and culminates in the revelation that, he was, in fact, the true master of the Elder Wand. | |

Survival Through Self-Sacrifice | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_1b539743 | comment |
Survival Through Self-Sacrifice: Harry discovers that he is the seventh Horcrux and it is his fate to be killed so that Voldemort can die. Rather than running from death as he had previously done, Harry walks straight to the Death Eaters' camp and allows Voldemort to kill him. In doing so, Harry goes into his mind where he finds the fragment of Voldemort's soul that had latched onto him, along with a manifestation of Dumbledore. Finally here, Dumbledore explains that by allowing himself to be killed, Harry's soul was freed from Voldemort's and his soul finally belonged to himself. Dumbledore also adds that the "Master of Death" did not find a way to escape death but to accept it, which is ultimately what Harry had done. | |

Poor Communication Kills: Played with. Throughout the series Dumbledore knew everything that was going on but did not tell Harry, for reasons which many speculate — and Dumbledore admitted — may have been unnecessary. In this book, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are the only ones who know what is really going on but don't tell anyone else, either. Harry even wonders just how much of his own silence is really necessary at some points. | |

Tragic Intangibility | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_1f6854a4 | comment |
Tragic Intangibility: When Harry uses the Resurrection Stone to bring back his deceased loved ones, he rushes forward to take his mother's hand but his hand goes straight through her. He realizes that the Resurrection Stone can't truly bring back the dead, only a shade of the deceased; however, he's still comforted by the fact they're with him in some sense as he prepares to die. It's not mentioned in the book if this is the case, although Harry states that the shades look more solid than ghosts yet not quite like living people. Taking Harry's experience into account, it's implied this played a part in the tragic origin story of the Resurrection Stone; a wizard used it to bring back his deceased love but because she wasn't truly alive, he eventually killed himself so they could properly be together. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: It's unclear what exactly happened to poor Bathilda and how long she'd been dead when Harry and Hermione meet "her". Was Harry's conversation with the deceased Dumbledore him having a dream and using Dumbledore's image as a sounding board to talk things out with himself, or is he actually speaking to Dumbledore's spirit while in a sort of purgatory? Harry outright asks which one is happening and the other party only responds with a Mathematician's Answer. | |

Obstructive Bureaucrat: Yaxley, a Death Eater turned Ministry official, inadvertently sidetracks a disguised Ron in the Ministry by making him clean up his office. The Gringotts goblin who greets Hermione while she is disguised as Bellatrix demands identification from her, knowing the real Bellatrix had been disarmed. | |

The Profiler: With Dumbledore gone, Harry is having to use the profile of Voldemort they developed together in the last book for the Horcrux Hunt. This is, for instance, part of how Harry deduces Voldemort hid a Horcrux in the Lestrange family vault). As Dumbledore is also revealed to have been dying during the previous book, he was training Harry to ensure he'd have the tools and knowledge necessary to move forward. | |

Good Is Not Nice | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_21f3aa44 | comment |
Good is Not Nice: Harry had used the occasional Unforgivable Curse in moments of extreme stress in previous books, but it really gets turned up to eleven in this one. Many fans complained about this and about Dumbledore's interest in the Dark Arts; J.K. Rowling stated that she never depicted Harry or Dumbledore as white knights. Severus Snape. Full-stop. He did a great thing in becoming Dumbledore's spy and potentially saved hundreds, if not thousands, of lives. However, that doesn't change the fact that he's a humongous arse for the entire series. J.K. Rowling herself said that if anyone else had been the Chosen One and Voldemort attacked them and their parents, Snape would never have turned his back on Voldemort. Good? Ultimately, yes. Nice? Absolutely not.invoked | |

Ironic Echo | |

Ironic Echo: In Book 1, Ron yells "Are you mad? Are you a witch or not?" to Hermione. In this one, she yells at him, "Are you mad? Are you a wizard or what?" James' first words to Snape ("Who wants to be in Slytherin? I think I'd leave, wouldn't you?") are almost identical to a line from Malfoy's first conversation with Harry ("Imagine being in Hufflepuff, I think I'd leave, wouldn't you?"). Grindelwald telling Voldemort, "Kill me, then. Voldemort, I welcome death! But my death will not bring you what you seek... There is so much you do not understand..." is meant to be an echo to Dumbledore's line all the way back in the first book, "If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love." | |

As the Good Book Says... | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_2439b588 | comment |
As the Good Book Says...: Both the Dumbledore family tomb and James and Lily Potter's graves have Biblical quotations on them: The Dumbledores' tomb has "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" (Jesus, quoted in both Matthew 6:21 and Luke 12:34). The Potters' graves have "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death" (Saint Paul, 1 Corinthians 15:26). Interestingly, Harry initially misinterprets this as a Death Eater idea (as, out of its proper context, it does sound exactly like the sort of thing that Voldemort would say). Hermione straightens him out. | |

Blood Magic: Because Voldemort used Harry's blood to rejuvenate himself back in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, he's kept Lily's protective charm on Harry alive with his new body. As long as that enchantment survives, Harry is protected from Voldemort. He anchors Harry to life while he lives. As a result, he can't kill Harry. This causes a Negate Your Own Sacrifice for Harry after he willingly lets Voldemort try to kill him because he is a Horcrux for Voldemort. | |

Warning Mistaken for Threat: After Voldemort seizes control of the Ministry of Magic, Harry and his friends infiltrate the Ministry, with Harry using Polyjuice Potion to adopt the appearance of a wizard called Albert Runcorn. While inside, he gets into an argument with Arthur Weasley, who accuses Runcorn of selling out one of his colleagues to the Death Eaters. Harry tries to give Arthur a warning that he's under surveillance for being an undesirable, which Arthur takes as Runcorn threatening him. | |

Sadist Teacher: The Carrows, a pair of ruthless Death Eater siblings, take over disciplinary matters and Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts this year. You know they're bad when Neville says they make even Umbridge look good by comparison. No one on the staff wants to turn students over to them for punishment. Not even Snape; when he catches several students trying to retrieve Gryffindor's sword, he levies the punishment himself — a night helping Hagrid — rather than turn them over to the Carrows. Given later revelations, he certainly did so on purpose. | |

Worf Had the Flu | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_2c628d38 | comment |
Worf Had the Flu: Word of Rowling clarifies this as the reason Remus and Tonks died against Dolohov and Bellatrix. Months spent hiding due to the latter's pregnancy dulled their duelling skills, allowing their powerful enemies to triumph fatally. Implied during the final battle with McGonagall, Kingsley, and Slughorn against Voldemort. Voldemort has just entered the battle, meaning he's at fresh condition, while McGonagall and Kingsley have been fighting for hours and are visibly battered and Slughorn is implied to have been pushing himself finding allies and also fighting as well, so while they fare incredibly well against the Dark Lord, they weren't able to finish him off. It's actually quite likely their combined efforts otherwise would have been able to back Voldemort into a corner, especially given the fact that Voldemort was also being hindered by Harry's loving sacrifice, though we never see just how they would fare against Voldemort when both sides were fighting at full potency. Hermione, Luna, and Ginny vs Bellatrix. Hermione was using Bellatrix's wand against her, meaning she was naturally at a disadvantage, subsequently allowing Bellatrix to match them all. Had it not been for said handicap, it can be safely assumed they would have won, though not without serious difficulty. | |

Narcissist | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_30d4f2a | comment |
Voldemort. Try to act surprised. First, Neville destroyed his final Horcrux, after Voldemort made fun of him in front of everybody. The movie was more spectacular: he was not only killed by the Avada Kedavra backfiring on him from the Elder Wand, he ended up disintegrated as well, not even leaving his body behind. Opinion varies on whether his more mundane death in the book was more fitting — after all, Riddle/Voldemort's entire character arc grew out of his distaste for anything he considered 'ordinary' and being a first-rate narcissist. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: We never find out for sure how Regulus felt about being a Death Eater (in short exactly how evil he was) — we only hear stories secondhand from people who weren't involved in his death.

Mugged for Disguise | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_3403abfc | comment |
Mugged for Disguise: The trio had to infiltrate the Ministry and got hairs and other identifying items from three workers at the Ministry. One they stunned. Two they made sick. At the end of the infiltration, one of their victims came back. Discussed as a possibility when Harry refuses to give his hair for others to pretend to be him. | |

It Was with You All Along | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_349a9dbc | comment |
Earlier in the book, when Hermione is arguing with Xenophilius about whether the Deathly Hallows exist, Hermione points out that the only one with any real evidence for it is hardly special and has been replicated repeatedly. Then Xenophilius replies, totally unaware of the bombshell he is dropping on them: "Ah, but the Third Hallow is a true Cloak of Invisibility, Miss Granger! I mean to say, it is not a travelling cloak imbued with a Disillusionment Charm, or carrying a Bedazzling Hex, or else woven from Demiguise hair, which will hide one initially but fade with the years until it turns opaque. We are talking about a cloak that really and truly renders the wearer completely invisible, and endures eternally, giving constant and impenetrable concealment, no matter what spells are cast at it. How many cloaks have you ever seen like that, Miss Granger?" | |

It Was with You All Along: While the Deathly Hallows were never mentioned until the final book, they are finally revealed to be, via the series' use of Chekhov's Gun, been objects that had Harry had possessed all along or was otherwise highly familiar with, and so he doesn't have to quest for them the way he does with the Horcruxes. The Resurrection Stone was the stone on the ring of Marvolo Gaunt that Harry had seen in the Pensieve. The Stone was then contained in the Snitch that Dumbledore gave to Harry in the will. The Elder Wand was Dumbledore's wand, which he had seen up close for several years, whose possession Harry took from Draco Malfoy without either of them knowing it. Finally, the Cloak of Invisibility is Harry's own Invisibility Cloak that he had kept with him since first year, but whose significance was lost to him. It recalls the quotation from the Potter family grave, "Where your treasure is, there will be your heart also." | |

While Snape has spent the entire series hating Harry for reminding him of James and Lily, he is utterly appalled when he discovers that Dumbledore's ultimate plan hinges on Harry willingly allowing Voldemort to kill him to destroy the Horcrux within himself, permanently guaranteeing that Voldemort can never come back to life or hurt anyone else ever again. | |

Conspiracy Theorist: In-universe; the Muggle-born Registration Commission exploits the fact that, basically, nobody is sure where Muggle-borns get their magical abilities from in the first place to have them tried for "stealing" magic. Had they known, they probably wouldn't have cared. Ron pokes a hole in their conspiracy the minute he hears about it, pointing out that if Muggles could steal magic, there'd be no such thing as Squibs. | |

Properly Paranoid | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_3aec9e5e | comment |
Properly Paranoid: Several times during the Trio's camping trip, Ron stops Hermione and Harry from saying Voldemort's name, because "it feels like a — a jinx, or something." It is exactly that: When the Death Eaters took over the Ministry, they put a Taboo Curse on Voldemort's name, which creates a magical disturbance around any person who utters it and disables whatever protective enchantments might be protecting them. Only serious members of the Order of the Phoenix dare(d) say the name, so the Death Eaters find them that way. Our protagonists get firsthand confirmation of this when Harry says "Voldemort" one March day and a few Snatchers promptly accost them. In Godric's Hollow, Hermione is wary of Bathilda for an excellent reason. She is not Bathilda, but Nagini in a magical disguise. Harry recognizes her first word to them as "Come!" in English, but Hermione hears it for what it is — Parseltongue. Bellatrix's stubborn insistence throughout the last two books that Snape was untrustworthy despite the Dark Lord clearing Severus? She was right. | |

Foregone Conclusion: It's inevitable that Voldemort's eventually going to realize his Horcruxes have been compromised (and that more of them have been destroyed in the interim since the Diary in Chamber of Secrets).

Villain by Default | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_3e16e61c | comment |
Villain by Default: In the final battle, the acting Headmistress orders all Slytherins to leave with those too young to fight. Why? Because one of them, Pansy Parkinson, wanted to turn Harry in to the Death Eaters. There are no consequences. Aberforth outright disagrees with evicting the Slytherins, instead saying they ought to be held hostage against their families, who are mostly Death Eaters. Seeing as Voldemort says that the Slytherins largely joined his army in besieging Hogwarts, it might have been a better plan. Harry rejects it outright, as Albus Dumbledore would never have allowed it if he had been alive. By Word of Godinvoked, several of the Slytherins who left at that point came back with the reinforcements in the second phase of the battle — not just Slughorn. Phineus Nigellus Black mentioned in Book Five that it's the sort of thing he would do, and it befits the pragmatic Slytherin stereotype. | |

Secret Test of Character | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_3f7a958b | comment |
Secret Test of Character: The Sword of Gryffindor was placed under the frozen lake ostensibly to serve as some kind of test of bravery and determination. Harry realizes that immediately, but still points out that it seemed less of a test of character and more making things unpleasant for its own sake. Inverted when it's Ron who gets the sword, not Harry. Saving Harry from the Horcrux strangling/drowning/freezing him to death allows Ron to pass the test and get the sword. In other words, Harry didn't have to pass the test — he was the test. The water is further clouded by the fact that, although the retrieval of said item would certainly fit with its MO and at least one character insisted it be facilitated in such a way, Word of God notes that at heart, it was almost certainly more an act of petty spite by Snape than a desire to test anyone's character.invoked | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Voldemort is gone once and for all, everyone who fought in the battle alongside Harry is hailed as a hero, Dudley, Kreacher, Percy, and (perhaps) even Malfoy finally make peace with Harry, and for once, a competent Minister of Magic is instated. The bad news? Many, many people are dead. And, annoyingly, a few people who probably deserve death or imprisonment seem to evade it in the end (or, at least, don't have their fates mentioned in the book). It's not a perfect world. The Epilogue, however, turns this into more of a Happy Ending. The Wizarding World has been rebuilt for the better, Dementors have been removed from Azkaban, and our heroes managed to get married and have children. Ginny and Harry married and had three kids, while Ron and Hermione married and had two kids, making the main trio in-laws. The ending shows the next generation of wizards heading to Hogwarts in a peaceful era, where the terror of Voldemort is nothing more than a painful memory. And Harry's scar hasn't hurt since Voldemort's defeat, signifying nothing but peaceful days to come. | |

Spoiler Cover | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_40d15d7a | comment |
Spoiler Cover: Covers for the Harry Potter series always show something from the book, but it's usually something vague like Harry flying on his broomstick. However, the American cover of this book shows the actual death of Voldemort — specifically, with Voldemort flying backward, succumbing to his rebounding Killing Curse, while Harry reaches upward triumphantly to catch the Elder Wand (though the wand isn't shown) as the sun rises in the background. This at least heavily suggests that Harry survives and defeats Voldemort personally, where the former event in particular was very uncertain. The absence of the Elder Wand and Voldemort not looking particularly defeated, per se, at least keeps things ambiguous enough to where one won't be able to realize what's happening until they read the actual scene in the book. | |

Killed Offscreen: Moody is killed by Voldemort during the ambush over Privet Drive. Bill and Fleur, who both witnessed it, have to tell the rest of the present Order members what happened. Minister of Magic Rufus Scrimgeour gives Harry, Ron, and Hermione the contents of Dumbledore's will (well, sans the Sword of Godric Gryffindor) and presumably returns to the Ministry. It is Kingsley Shacklebolt's lynx Patronus that informs everyone at Bill and Fleur's wedding that Rufus was killed during Voldemort's coup. Among others Lupin and Tonks die in the Battle of Hogwarts, when Harry isn't present; he only sees their dead bodies later on. Whatever the hell happened to poor Bathilda is never explained. She’d been dead for months by Christmas. | |

It probably didn't make things any easier that Harry looked exactly like James but with Lily's eyes. Ouch. | |

| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_42c9f1ec | comment |
When Harry uses the Resurrection Stone to bring back his deceased loved ones, he rushes forward to take his mother's hand but his hand goes straight through her. He realizes that the Resurrection Stone can't truly bring back the dead, only a shade of the deceased; however, he's still comforted by the fact they're with him in some sense as he prepares to die. It's not mentioned in the book if this is the case, although Harry states that the shades look more solid than ghosts yet not quite like living people. | |

Alternate Aesop Interpretation | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_48f282a3 | comment |
Alternate Aesop Interpretation: In-Universe. In the tale of the three brothers, the Elder Wand that makes its wielder impossible to defeat in battle brings death to the oldest Peverell brother when someone kills him in his sleep to steal it. The moral is supposed to be that you can't hold death at bay through brute force. Ron points out, not unreasonably, that the moral might as well be that if you have a wand that makes you impossible to defeat in battle, you shouldn't strut around and brag about it like an idiot. Considering that Dumbledore wielded said wand in plain sight for fifty years by not drawing any attention to it, Ron kinda has a point. | |

Also, the Dementors apply for this trope. Yes, the Dementors. After sucking out the souls of who knows how many innocent Muggle-borns and condemning them to the hellish existence of absolutely nothing, we never see what happens to them in the book, but Word of God is that they're a kind of fungus born from depression that can be banished once the environment becomes happier; meanwhile, their victims are still condemned to an eternal torment worse than the deepest depths of hell, and nobody seems to notice or care...invoked | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Rowling has stated that the phrase on the Snitch ("I open at the close") is one in regards to the books themselves. Specifically, Deathly Hallows takes place in the 1997–1998 academic year. In Britain, 1997 was the year that Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was published. In America, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone wasn't released until 1998. The book series opens in the real world during the years that the book series closes in the Wizarding World. During the Battle of Hogwarts, Voldemort suggests to Lucius that Draco has perhaps decided to befriend Harry Potter, to which Lucius says "never". This is a nod to fans' Draco in Leather Pantsinvoked attitudes throughout the series, as well as the common trope where a bully or adversary turns good towards the end of the story and joins the hero. Draco does redeem himself towards the very end, but he and Harry never truly become "friends", as they've been through too much. Their sons, on the other hand... "The Tale of the Three Brothers" proves crucial to the finding of the Deathly Hallows and an understanding of how to defeat Voldemort. But of course he's never read it because it's in a book of children's stories. This is Rowling's not-so-subtle Take That! to all the publishers who rejected her draft of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and all the critics who dismiss her work as "for children only". Dumbledore's Mathematician's Answer to Harry's question: "Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry. But why on earth should that mean that it is not real?" Rowling was a destitute single mother who'd lost her husband, her job, and had no training or skills that anyone valued. But she had always loved stories, and decided to write one, and the rest is history. An Aesop on The Power of Imagination. | |

Hanging Up on the Grim Reaper: Played with.

Until one day he went and met Death voluntarily. | |

Kansas City Shuffle | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_4bfcfa7c | comment |
Kansas City Shuffle: The point of the Seven Potters operation just in case the Death Eaters attack them en-route to the Burrow. Initially, it works as planned; despite having advance intel, the Death Eaters didn't know about the decoys and it upends their entire pursuit. More, one of the decoys was specifically placed with Mad-Eye to draw Voldemort's attention just in case (as Voldemort would expect "Harry" would be traveling with the toughest and most dangerous Auror). This costs him valuable time as he chases the wrong target (even if it gets Mad-Eye killed eventually). The plan finally fails because Harry accidentally uses one of his signature spells in defense, thereby outing himself as the real Harry. | |

War Comes Home: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has been the primary setting of the series, and Harry regards it as home. In the climax of the final book, Voldemort and his Death Eater army attack the school to get Harry; the Order of the Phoenix, Hogwarts's staff and many of the students fight back to give Harry and his friends time to find and destroy the last of Voldemort's Horcruxes. This ends up being the final battle of the Second Wizarding War ending with Harry defeating Voldemort in a one-on-one duel in the Great Hall. | |

Wham Line: Kingsley's Patronus interrupts Bill and Fleur's wedding reception with one: During the Final Battle between Harry and Voldemort. Earlier in the book, when Hermione is arguing with Xenophilius about whether the Deathly Hallows exist, Hermione points out that the only one with any real evidence for it is hardly special and has been replicated repeatedly. Then Xenophilius replies, totally unaware of the bombshell he is dropping on them: "Ah, but the Third Hallow is a true Cloak of Invisibility, Miss Granger! I mean to say, it is not a travelling cloak imbued with a Disillusionment Charm, or carrying a Bedazzling Hex, or else woven from Demiguise hair, which will hide one initially but fade with the years until it turns opaque. We are talking about a cloak that really and truly renders the wearer completely invisible, and endures eternally, giving constant and impenetrable concealment, no matter what spells are cast at it. How many cloaks have you ever seen like that, Miss Granger?" | |

The Atoner: The Malfoy family, and Draco in particular, plays with this trope. Draco legitimately regrets joining up with the Death Eaters and his role in Dumbledore's death, but he never actively tries to redeem himself partly because he's in too deep and partly just because of a lack of character. In the end, he settles for what might be called passive resistance. Dudley Dursley finally reconciles with his cousin. Along with being very grateful towards Harry for saving his life from the attacking Dementors in Book 5, the event — according to Word of God — also forced Dudley to see himself as the cruel bully and fat spoiled slob he was.invoked Percy Weasley, after ditching his family for success at the Ministry, comes back for the Final Battle and reconciles with the other Weasleys. | |

Immortality Inducer: As indicated in The Tales of Beedle the Bard, it is a common misconception that those who claim ownership of all three of the Deathly Hallows will become immortal — i.e., the "Master of Death". A young, foolish Dumbledore subscribed to this belief, and only snapped out of it when his younger sister died. In reality, the Master of Death is one who accepts that, even with magic, true immortality is impossible, and that death isn't the worst thing in the world. | |

Showdown at High Noon: or rather, Showdown At Sunrise. The final battle between Harry and Voldemort takes place with everyone else as spectators while they have one last conversation about why Voldemort is about to lose but the Dark Lord doesn't buy it. The crack of dawn hits, they cast their spells at the exact same time, and Voldemort is no more. While not otherwise resembling the Western cliche, it feels very much like it. | |

Crazy-Prepared: Albus Dumbledore proves to be this even after his death, if his last will and testament is any indication. He left Ron the Deluminator knowing that Ron would quit the Horcrux hunt and, more importantly, would want to return, providing him with a way to get back. He also left Hermione his copy of Tales of Beedle the Bard in order to clue the trio into the existence of the Deathly Hallows, and gave Harry the Resurrection Stone hidden inside the first Golden Snitch he ever caught in order to give Harry emotional support. Turns out Voldemort enchanted Wormtail's artifical hand with a contingency. He correctly anticipates that Wormtail cannot be trusted and the hand was magically 'programmed' to kill Wormtail if his loyalty ever wavered again. | |

| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_527fc5fe | comment |
Gotta Catch Them All: The entire plot rests on this. Harry, Ron, and Hermione have to search for all of Voldy's Horcruxes; but after learning about the Deathly Hallows themselves, Harry debates for a while and then decides not to race Voldemort to the last one. Perhaps a double subversion, since Harry does get it in the end? | |

Doubles as Book Ends. In Philosopher's Stone, Hagrid takes Harry to 4 Privet Drive for the first time... in Sirius Black's flying motorbike. Guess how Harry leaves forever at the beginning of this book. | |

Bookends: After Harry defeats Voldemort for the first time (when he is but a fifteen-month-old baby) Hagrid brings him to Privet Drive using Sirius's flying motorcycle. Sixteen years later, when the Order gets Harry away from Privet Drive before the blood wards fall, Hagrid is the one that takes Harry away... on Sirius's flying motorcycle. And in the climax, Hagrid once again carries Harry in his arms. The Deluminator, left by Dumbledore to Ron in this book, is the same device that Dumbledore used to put out the lights on Privet Drive in the first chapter of the first book. Shortly before the start of the series, Lily sacrifices herself to protect her son from Voldemort, giving him the protection of Love from him and his spells. By the end of the book, Harry sacrifices himself to protect his friends and family at Hogwarts from dying in the fight against Voldemort, giving all of them the protection of Love from Voldemort, which causes all the spells he casts on them to break and not hold. Voldemort's first defeat is at the hands of his own Killing Curse rebounding off of Harry due to the protection of his Mother's Love. Voldemort's final defeat is again because of his own Killing Curse rebounding off Harry, this time because the Elder Wand refused to kill Harry, its true owner. Voldemort's first fatal mistake is underestimating the love of a mother for her child (in this case, not realizing the magical power Lily's sacrifice would imbue in her son). Voldemort's last fatal mistake is underestimating the love of a mother for her child (in this case, not realizing Narcissa would double-cross him in exchange for information pertinent to her son's safety). The first time Harry sees Ginny, she's a small redheaded girl complaining to her parents that she wants to go to Hogwarts with her older brothers now, not next year. In Ginny's last appearance, her small redheaded daughter is raising the same complaint to her and Harry. One from the American edition of the books, and a more literal case of the trope: both the first and last novel illustrations have the main picture framed by curtains. While the first shows Harry framed by colourful, mismatched and patterned curtains, the last book has curtains that are tattered and dull, reflecting the more child-friendly beginnings and the more bleak-looking end. | |

Mathematician's Answer | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_54367e5d | comment |
Dumbledore's Mathematician's Answer to Harry's question: "Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry. But why on earth should that mean that it is not real?" Rowling was a destitute single mother who'd lost her husband, her job, and had no training or skills that anyone valued. But she had always loved stories, and decided to write one, and the rest is history. An Aesop on The Power of Imagination. | |

Improbable Infant Survival | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_550754dc | comment |
Improbable Infant Survival: We get a segment where we see Voldemort’s attack on the Potters through his perspective. Voldemort openly walks on the street on Halloween, with numerous innocent children around him. One child compliments his costume, but runs off back to his mother when he is intimidated. As if the thought of a mass-murdering fascist casually walking near children isn't scary enough, Voldemort himself notes that with one small flick of his wand, the child would never reach his mother (he doesn't go through with it, though). | |

The trio deciding to wear the the evil locket of doom for months on end, even though they quickly recognize that it makes them feel like crap. Although the stated reason is that they are so worried about what happens if they lose it that they want to keep it in view at all times, all three seem to forget that pockets exist, that they have a Bag of Holding, and at no point does it occur to Harry to utilise the Mokeskin Pouch of Safekeeping that Hagrid gave him, despite the fact that he's wearing the pouch around his neck and would've therefore looked at or at least touched it every time he put on or removed the locket. Made even worse by the fact that Harry and Hermione continue to wear the thing after it has seriously backfired on them. | |

Growing Up Sucks: Invoked in this novel, as the previous instalments have had Harry, Ron, and Hermione at Hogwarts, where despite the horrible things that happen to them, they still had a large circle of friends, three large meals a day, adults watching over them, and schoolwork to keep them distracted. In this book, they lose all of that, and have to deal with it — symbolizing a cold shove into adulthood. | |

However, with the reveal that Snape was Dumbledore's inside man all along, even regarding his "murder", it becomes a case of Nice Job Breaking It, Hero, as it means Snape was actually shielding the castle from the Death Eaters, and by driving him out, there was nothing to prevent Voldemort from declaring full-scale war on Hogwarts. | |

Karma Houdini Warranty | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_599f943f | comment |
Karma Houdini Warranty: After getting to keep her job after sadistically torturing and abusing the entire population of Hogwarts' students and staff sans Filch in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Dolores Umbridge herself returns to the series, now overseeing the Muggle-Born Registration Commission where Muggle-Born witches and wizards are forced to disclose whom they "stole" their magic from. Even worse, the Dementors that guard her are kept at bay effortlessly by her Patronus, which is a physical manifestation of positivity and happiness Needless to say, once she lies to a disguised Hermione about her Half-blooded nature during the Ministry heist, Harry wastes no time in Stunning her and Yaxley and swiping the Locket of Slytherin. Word of God confirms that the post-Voldemort Ministry of Magic gave her a life sentence in Azkaban for her crimes against Muggle-Borns, not all of whom survived her persecution, to the surprise of exactly nobody. After going from serving Lord Voldemort as a Death Eater to getting a steady job as the Ministry of Magic's executioner, Walden Macnair returns for the Battle of Hogwarts and himself thrown into a wall and knocked out by Hagrid, who had loved and tried to save Buckback the Hippogriff from being executed by him in book three. Downplayed, as he presumably survives to be put in Azkaban with Umbridge, unlike many Death Eaters who were arguably less despicable, who were killed during the battle. | |

Kangaroo Court: Following Voldemort's putsch of the Ministry of Magic, he set up the Muggle-Born Registration Commission as a way to racially subjugate and purge Muggle-borns from the wizarding world, and to enforce his pure-blood supremacy. The Commission is essentially a sham court led by Dolores Umbridge, where Muggle-born wizards are forced to "register" with the Ministry and explain how they "obtained" their magical power from "real" wizards. | |

Homoerotic Subtext | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_6056f853 | comment |
Homoerotic Subtext: The relationship between Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald that makes up the bulk of the b-plot is filled with subtext but is never quite confirmed as being romantic, especially since Harry himself, being a dense teenager, doesn’t seem to pick up on it. Elphias Dodge makes a joke about it that goes over Harry's head. Auntie Muriel says there were "strange rumors" about it. Rita Skeeter actually gets the closest to anyone to outright confirming it. She makes a thinly veiled sex joke when she says people will think, "Grindelwald simply conjured a white hankerchief from the end of his wand and came quietly". She also makes the All Gays Are Pedophiles insinuation when she says that Dumbledore took an "unnatural" interest in Harry. Bathilda notes that Grindelwald was very upset when he had to leave in a hurry when Ariana died so he didn't get in trouble in way that implies that relationship was more than platonic as well. Grindelwald's last moments telling Voldemort that there are things he doesn't understand is literally about the Elder Wand and magic more broadly but the subtext is also there that he's talking about Voldemort not understanding love. Dumbledore also uses the word "inflamed" which does not exactly carry a platonic connotation and cries when he hears Grindelwald died to protect his tomb. Aberforth also makes some thinly veiled jibes about them being more than friends. | |

Bavarian Fire Drill | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_62fd5552 | comment |
Bavarian Fire Drill: Harry, under the guise of Ministry of Magic employee Runcorn (apparently a very feared and intimidating fellow), manages to walk himself, also-disguised Hermione and Ron, and a ton of Muggle-born and Half-blood wizards under investigation straight out of the Ministry, currently going on lockdown because they know there are intruders, just on sheer bluster. The Golden Trio's escape is a close call, but on the whole, it worked far, far better than it had a right to. | |

My New Gift Is Lame | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_630e5e56 | comment |
My New Gift Is Lame: Pointed out by Ron when Hermione gets a book of fairy tales, Ron gets an item which can manipulate light, and Harry gets... an old Golden Snitch. Harry, however, knows that with it coming from Dumbledore, there must be a secret involved — and there is. Also, the Snitch was the very one that Harry caught in his first ever Quidditch match, which if anything gave it some sentimental value, thereby making it useful to conceal even more of its true purpose from the Ministry. | |

Sue Donym: The Potterwatch radio crew refer to themselves by ridiculously transparent pseudonyms based on their actual names: Lee Jordan is River, Kingsley Shacklebolt is Royal, Fred Weasley (weasel) starts as Rodent (quickly changed to Rapier, presumably for "rapier wit"), and Remus Lupin exhausts the last untapped blatant reference in his name by going as Romulus. | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: Hagrid tackles a Death Eater off his broom when he tries to shoot Harry during the Battle of the Seven Potters, plummeting hundreds of feet to the ground. Subverted in that he survives the fall. Regulus Black died stealing one of Voldemort's horcruxes, so Kreacher could take it home and attempt to destroy it. Alas, poor Dobby, who takes a knife to the chest from Bellatrix Lestrange to save Harry during the escape from Malfoy Manor. By Harry at the end when he has to face Voldemort so he could kill him. Snape gave his entire life to Dumbledore in return for helping to keep Lily safe, and then later to protect Harry, even infiltrating Voldemort's inner circle to do so, which eventually resulted in his death. Many of the students at the Battle of Hogwarts fought and died to allow Harry the time to find and destroy the diadem Horcrux. | |

Negate Your Own Sacrifice | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_66e77d65 | comment |
Negate Your Own Sacrifice: Harry has to die, since he himself is a Horcrux for Voldemort. He willingly goes to Voldemort to let him kill him and fully expected it to be a Heroic Sacrifice. However, according to Dumbledore in Limbo, Harry's decision to let Voldemort kill him rather than keep fighting was what "made all the difference". It was a threefer: Firstly, Voldemort's striking Harry with the Killing Curse destroyed the shard of his soul within Harry. But, Lily's willing sacrifice for Harry meant that Voldemort could not harm him as long as her blood was present. Voldemort using Harry's blood in his resurrection had the side-effect of anchoring Harry to life as long as Voldemort lives. Also, because Harry willingly leaves Hogwarts and goes into the Forest to confront Voldemort, he essentially does the same thing his mother did, he protects everyone at Hogwarts from Voldemort with the same protective charm. | |

Brought Down to Normal | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_66ea7e5c | comment |
Brought Down to Normal: Voldemort gets hit with this in a way, after his Horcruxes are all destroyed. Before this, he was more or less immortal and felt like an unbeatable threat. After the destruction of the Horcruxes, Voldemort is just as mortal as any other man. Harry even invokes this trope by calling him by his Muggle name Tom Riddle, infuriating him on its own terms and signifying he is just a human being. | |

Hot-Blooded: In limbo, Dumbledore cites this as why he made he made the Hallows Quest so difficult for Harry. Dumbledore was counting on Hermione to slow Harry up, worrying that an impulsive Harry would seek out and attempt to possess the Hallows before he could understand and respect their power. Dumbledore meant well, fearing Harry would make the same mistakes he had made years ago when he and Grindelwald sought them out. | |

Jerkass Has a Point: While Griphook stealing the Sword of Gryffindor and selling out the trio was uncalled for, he was correct in pointing out that wizards have discriminated against and looked down on goblins for centuries, and proved those ideals are very much still in place when Ron unintentionally offends him while discussing ownership of the sword. Griphook also correctly predicts the trio were planning to go back on their word and keep the sword, thus proving they are no better than any other witch or wizard that has been actively screwing over goblins for centuries. | |

Unstoppable Rage: Voldemort goes utterly batshit when he learns that Harry and his friends broke into Bellatrix's vault and Helga Hufflepuff's cup, as it most certainly means that they know about his Soul Jar ploy. He also fears that if Harry knew about that one, he might've known about (and even destroyed) the others. | |

Villainous BSoD: Averted. Wizards who created Horcruxes can repair their souls by feeling remorse — which, given what their creation entails, often means that they'll feel so much pain that they'll die — but Voldemort has to be killed the normal way. Having to do it the old-fashioned way is meant to illustrate that Voldy is irredeemable.invoked | |

Another Dimension | |

Another Dimension: The titular white void of the "King's Cross" chapter, which seems to be the closest thing to another dimension in the Harry Potter universe. Much like the veil in the Death Chamber of the Department of Mysteries, it separates the worlds of the living and the dead, acting as a sort of limbo for souls. It was here that Harry Potter was given the choice to return to life unharmed or move on to the next life, and Albus Dumbledore was able to temporarily cross over into this dimension to speak to Harry. | |

GrimReaper | |

Grim Reaper: The main antagonist of the in-universe fictional story "The Tale of the Three Brothers", and the supposed creator of the Deathly Hallows. While the Hallows definitely exist, it's ambiguous whether Death truly created them or if they were created by the Peverell brothers themselves. It's possible that when Harry Potter speaks to Albus Dumbledore in King's Cross, he's really speaking to Death himself using a form that Harry would trust. If this is the case, it would seem that Death is a truly benevolent being in the long run, as he is very kind to Harry and offers him a choice to live again or move on to the next life. | |

He and his friends are declared outlaws and must struggle to survive in the wilderness. Long stretches of hopelessness are interrupted by deadly danger. By the time he discovers that Dumbledore's plan requires him to go willingly to his death at Voldemort's hands, he's willing to pay that price. | |

| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: Harry stealing Moody's eye from Umbridge's door without making a copy, as Hermione did with Slytherin's locket, clues the Ministry into the fact that there are intruders. The trio deciding to wear the the evil locket of doom for months on end, even though they quickly recognize that it makes them feel like crap. Although the stated reason is that they are so worried about what happens if they lose it that they want to keep it in view at all times, all three seem to forget that pockets exist, that they have a Bag of Holding, and at no point does it occur to Harry to utilise the Mokeskin Pouch of Safekeeping that Hagrid gave him, despite the fact that he's wearing the pouch around his neck and would've therefore looked at or at least touched it every time he put on or removed the locket. Made even worse by the fact that Harry and Hermione continue to wear the thing after it has seriously backfired on them. Harry says Voldemort's name despite Ron warning him not to, attracting the Snatchers. The Dumbledore in the Afterlife Antechamber admits he picked it up when he attempted to use the Resurrection Stone in the Ring Horcrux to speak to his dead loved ones. The curse on the Ring resulted in Dumbledore receiving fatal injuries from the encounter. James Potter going to confront Voldemort without a wand. Voldemort gives an Evil Laugh when he notices James is carrying this ball before killing him. Lily also doesn't appear to have (or of she does, doesn't use) her wand when Voldemort comes for her, instead using her hands to create an ineffective barricade against him and not even trying to escape as her son would sixteen years later. Harry and Ron, too being completely unprepared to flee at a moment's notice while at the Burrow even though they know Voldemort and the Death Eaters are after them. | |

Covers Always Lie | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: The cover to the American edition made it seem like Harry and Voldemort were in an outdoor coliseum during their final confrontation when it turns out to be the Great Hall at Hogwarts. The Danish cover is much worse. At what point does this image◊ happen in the book? Granted, it's possible that that is a representation of the centaurs and/or Hogwarts statues joining for the battle, but the actual "order allies to battle" by Harry never occurs. | |

Suicide by Cop | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_73328e84 | comment |
Suicide by Cop: Grindelwald's death at Voldemort's hand is essentially the former letting the latter commit suicide for him since he doesn't have a wand. He's been locked in a prison for over fifty years with nothing to do but wallow over his own misdeeds. Dumbledore being alive was likely the only reason he had emotionally to live for and with him gone, he lost the will to live and took the opportunity to die when it presented itself. | |

Once More, with Clarity | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_7374ab13 | comment |
Once More, with Clarity: Snape's memories, especially in regards to his worst memory. Back in Book 5, Harry initially believed it was his worst memory because of the immense amount of humiliation he suffered at the hands of the Marauders. With the new context of Snape's earlier memories, Harry (and thus, the reader) realizes the real reason why it's Snape's worst memory: it's the memory of the day that he gravely insulted Lily, the love of his life, which caused her to end their friendship and set off a chain of events that led to Snape joining the Death Eaters and eventually causing Lily's death. | |

All Myths Are True | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_776a06eb | comment |
All Myths Are True: Hermione dismisses the Deathly Hallows as just part of a wizard fairytale. You can probably guess by the book's title whether she's right or wrong. Downplayed in that Dumbledore says it's more likely that the Peverell brothers were merely very gifted wizards who created the Hallows themselves rather than literally receiving them from Death. | |

Chekhov's Armoury | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_7881f335 | comment |
Okay, so everything is basically magic, but the true story of the Deathly Hallows is never fully explained. Are they powerful magical items made by skilled wizards, or did they really meet Death and he gave them the items? There are elements of them which can't be explained within the continuity of the story, unless you accept the story about Death.note According to Dumbledore at the end of the book, "Whether they met Death on a lonely road... I think it more likely that the Peverell brothers were simply gifted, dangerous wizards who succeeded in creating those powerful objects. The story of them being Death's own Hallows seems to me the sort of legend that might have sprung up around such creations." | |

Crying Wolf: A subplot in this novel involves Rita Skeeter, a shady tabloid journalist who first appeared in The Goblet of Fire, and her new biography of Dumbledore. Based on his firsthand knowledge of her (lack of) ethics and his experience with Dumbledore, Harry is initially certain the book's claims are false. They are far truer than Rita's usual output. | |

Corporal Punishment | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_7d260070 | comment |
Corporal Punishment: We can only imagine what the hell is going on at Hogwarts while the heroes are running around the countryside. Neville certainly looks like he had a pretty rough time of it when he shows up after a year's worth of it. Apparently things would have been even worse if the Carrows had had the complete run of things. Even happens in lessons: "They had us practicing the Cruciatus Curse on first-years. ... That's where I got this [scar]. I refused to do it." Heaven knows what this must have been like for Snape, who gave his word to Dumbledore before the latter's death that he would do everything in his power to protect the students no matter what happened. For almost a whole year, he has to constantly strike a balance between reining the Carrows' worst behaviour (which includes torturing eleven-year-olds) in, yet not so much that it gives his status as a double-agent away. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Several times during the Trio's camping trip, Ron stops Hermione and Harry from saying Voldemort's name, because "it feels like a — a jinx, or something." It is exactly that: When the Death Eaters took over the Ministry, they put a Taboo Curse on Voldemort's name, which creates a magical disturbance around any person who utters it and disables whatever protective enchantments might be protecting them. Only serious members of the Order of the Phoenix dare(d) say the name, so the Death Eaters find them that way. Our protagonists get firsthand confirmation of this when Harry says "Voldemort" one March day and a few Snatchers promptly accost them. | |

Faking Another Person's Illness: Ron's father and brothers enchant a ghoul to look like him, and tell the ministry that he's deathly ill with Spattergroit, to cover up the fact that he dropped out of school to go Horcrux-hunting with Harry and Hermione. Ariana, Dumbledore's sister, became half-insane because she refused to use magic after a traumatic experience where she was attacked by three Muggle boys who found out she was a witch. Her family put it about that she just had poor physical health to avoid attracting attention, leading many people to theorize that she was a Squib, when in reality she would have magic exploding out of her when she couldn't keep it in anymore. | |

The Dark Side Will Make You Forget: Severus Snape. He started life as a troubled, neglected boy who just wanted Lily to like him. Then he got into Slytherin and things slowly turned rather dark at the influence of his friends. Then he joined the Death Eaters and completely forgot that he once thought nothing of bloodlines, and things got worse to the point where he tried to bargain with Voldemort to exchange Lily's own son's and husband's lives to save hers. Then he came back under Dumbledore's influence and ended up putting his life on the line to save other people, including Harry. So he wavered across the "Evil" line for a fair while there, obviously. | |

Entertainingly Wrong | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_81c4faa3 | comment |
Entertainingly Wrong: In Half-Blood Prince, Harry and Dumbledore theorized that Voldemort used his attempt to get a job at Hogwarts as a means to try and get hold of the Sword of Gryffindor to use as a Horcrux. Harry realizes they had it backwards, and Voldemort used the job interview to hide a Horcrux, with possibly gaining access to the sword being a potential bonus. | |

The water is further clouded by the fact that, although the retrieval of said item would certainly fit with its MO and at least one character insisted it be facilitated in such a way, Word of God notes that at heart, it was almost certainly more an act of petty spite by Snape than a desire to test anyone's character.invoked | |

Right for the Wrong Reasons: Ron starts demanding that they avoid using Voldemort's name out of "respect", which annoys Harry, but they ultimately do it anyway. It turns out that this was for the best since Voldemort had put a spell on his name allowing the Death Eaters to find anyone who speaks it, which is useful since only his enemies would dare say his name. The trio doesn't actually learn this until months after they had already stopped saying his name. | |

Broken Pedestal: Played with vis-Ã -vis Dumbledore, when Harry realizes that not only did he make many disastrous mistakes in his past and that he was not the perfect wizard he idolized, but that he was sacrificing Harry to kill Voldemort without even discussing it with him. And inverted with Snape, whom he originally regarded as a horrible, despicable person, but after realising the lengths he went to in order to protect him — to the point of infiltrating Voldemort's inner circle and dying for him — thinks radically differently. | |

Weeding Out Imperfections: While working for the Voldemort-controlled Ministry, Dolores Umbridge produces and distributes a propaganda pamphlet called Mudbloods and the Dangers They Pose to a Peaceful Pure-Blood Society, the cover of which features an illustration of a scowling weed strangling a beautiful rose. In the first chapter, Bellatrix Lestrange is the subject of some mockery from her fellow Death Eaters over the fact that her niece, Nymphadora Tonks, has married the werewolf Remus Lupin. Voldemort non-too-subtly instructs Bellatrix to murder Tonks, telling her that even the mightiest trees sometimes get diseased branches that need to be pruned. | |

I Knew It!: In-Universe. When trying to figure out where Voldemort hid his Horcruxes, Harry is certain that he must have hidden one in Hogwarts, while Ron and Hermione doubt he did on the grounds that Dumbledore would probably have found it. After Voldemort discovers what the trio is up to, he thinks of all the places where he hid them, one of which is the castle. Harry, having read his thoughts, repeatedly says this phrase after he tells Ron and Hermione what he saw. | |

| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_8ae880f7 | comment |
Deconstruction: To some extent, the Deathly Hallows Fetch Quest introduced in the middle of the book is a kind of parody of the series' Quest plot. Harry thinks the journey of the quest is significant, that it could give him the power he wants and that bringing the Hallows together means he has something over Voldemort's Horcruxes. The Hallows in the end, do nothing of the sort, indeed it is a Fetch Quest deliberately placed by Dumbledore all to prepare Harry to eventually sacrifice his life. | |

Wham Episode | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: Practically every chapter where a major character is killed off. Hell, every chapter from "Malfoy Manor" (the twenty-third out of thirty-six, not counting the epilogue) on. "The Prince's Tale" in particular is the biggest wham episode in the entire series. To summarize: Snape knew Lily and Petunia when they were all children, Lily and Petunia had a falling out on Lily's first day of school (thus cementing Petunia's hatred of her sister and future nephew), Petunia had contacted Dumbledore previously and had knowledge about Hogwarts, Snape was in love with Lily and had pulled a Heel–Face Turn after her death, meaning he's been working with Dumbledore since the beginning of the series, Dumbledore had planned his own death in the last book and specifically asked Snape to kill him, Dumbledore reveals Harry is an unintended horcrux and must die to make Voldemort mortal, and the chapter ends with the reveal that Snape was the one who sent the silver doe and planted the Sword of Gryffindor earlier in the book. Oh yeah, and there's also the reveal that Lupin and Tonks were killed offscreen. Phew. | |

Suspiciously Prescient Planning: Harry, Ron, and Hermione go visit Xenophilius Lovegood during Christmas break, hoping to also see Luna while they're there.

Though the three initially believe him, they eventually realize that Xenophilius doesn't actually expect Luna to be home any time soon when they see he only set a tray for four people (that and Luna's bed doesn't look like it's been slept in recently, strongly indicating she hasn't been home at all). | |

Karmic Death | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_90d44f44 | comment |
Karmic Death: Voldemort. Try to act surprised. First, Neville destroyed his final Horcrux, after Voldemort made fun of him in front of everybody. The movie was more spectacular: he was not only killed by the Avada Kedavra backfiring on him from the Elder Wand, he ended up disintegrated as well, not even leaving his body behind. Opinion varies on whether his more mundane death in the book was more fitting — after all, Riddle/Voldemort's entire character arc grew out of his distaste for anything he considered 'ordinary' and being a first-rate narcissist. Peter Pettigrew, literally betrayed and choked by the hand he was given after he sacrificed his original one to let Voldemort return. Crabbe with his own Fiendfyre. Bellatrix Lestrange, at the hands of Molly Weasley, after the former attempted to murder Ginny. | |

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Snape is the presumed master of the Elder Wand. Voldemort wants the Elder Wand. To master the Elder Wand, you must kill the current master or overpower them in some other way. Guess where this is going. | |

Back for the Finale | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_931fc523 | comment |
After going from serving Lord Voldemort as a Death Eater to getting a steady job as the Ministry of Magic's executioner, Walden Macnair returns for the Battle of Hogwarts and himself thrown into a wall and knocked out by Hagrid, who had loved and tried to save Buckback the Hippogriff from being executed by him in book three. Downplayed, as he presumably survives to be put in Azkaban with Umbridge, unlike many Death Eaters who were arguably less despicable, who were killed during the battle. | |

Children Forced to Kill | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_949819b6 | comment |
Children Forced to Kill: Averted. From the start of this series to the end of this book, no Hogwarts student from Harry's generation has killed any other person, even in self-defence (not counting Crabbe's stupidity). This is despite these children being trained in powerful, often dangerous magic and being "of age" in this book — and involved in a battle where their own lives were on the line. This is probably to keep the kids from crossing the Moral Event Horizon. It's probably why it is Molly who kills Bellatrix, and not Neville — for Neville to do so may not have sat well with some parents and young readers.invoked | |

Defiant to the End: Rufus Scrimgeour and Harry had no trouble showing their dislike for each other. But when the Death Eaters took over the Ministry, he withstood torture from Voldemort himself in his final moments and refused to divulge any information about Harry's whereabouts. Gellert Grindelwald, who was considered to be the most powerful and dangerous Dark Wizard in the world before Voldemort came along. When confronted by Voldemort himself, imprisoned, wandless, and helpless, instead of going along with Voldy's demands, Grindelwald openly defies him and even laughs in his face. | |

In the first chapter, Bellatrix Lestrange is the subject of some mockery from her fellow Death Eaters over the fact that her niece, Nymphadora Tonks, has married the werewolf Remus Lupin. Voldemort non-too-subtly instructs Bellatrix to murder Tonks, telling her that even the mightiest trees sometimes get diseased branches that need to be pruned. | |

Chores Without Powers: When Dobby is killed by Bellatrix in the process of saving the lives of Harry and his friends, Harry refuses to use magic to dig his grave, and digs a hole in the ground with a spade for him, as a way of dealing with his grief. The narration comments that "he dug with a kind of fury, relishing the manual work, glorying in the non-magic of it, for every drop of his sweat and every blister felt like a gift to the elf who had saved their lives." When Ron and Dean come out and see him digging the grave, they don't ask why he's not doing it with magic, and help him dig until the hole's deep enough. | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Nearly, but ultimately averted with the Muggle boys who attacked Ariana. This resulted in the Dumbledores' father getting placed in jail and mother getting killed. Because of those, Dumbledore had to cancel his worldwide trip and met Grindelwald, and together they were planning to take over the world by subjugating the Muggles. Ultimately, however, Ariana's death put a stop to those plans. | |

Nothing Is the Same Anymore: Deathly Hallows is notable in that it breaks from the standard story structure. The Power Trio does not go back to Hogwarts until the Final Battle. Instead, they are on the run because the Death Eaters pulled a coup d'état on the Ministry of Magic and started Putting on the Reich. | |

The Hecate Sisters: When Harry enters the Room of Requirement while the Battle of Hogwarts is going on, he finds the room empty except for three women who had not yet joined the fight. The first to exit is Augusta Longbottom, who goes to assist her grandson. The second is Tonks, who left her baby with family out of concern for her husband. The third is Ginny, who eagerly joins the fight, being responsible for no one but herself. The three generations of Weasley/Prewett women are 107-year-old Great-Aunt Muriel, who is rude to everyone; Ginny, who hears Auntie Muriel say that Ginny's dress is far too low-cut and responds by grinning and winking at Harry; and Ginny's mother, Molly, who responds to a threat on Ginny's life by shouting, "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!" | |

Supporting Leader: With the protagonists on a secret mission to destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes, multiple characters become this in different ways: Professor McGonagall leads the defence in the Battle of Hogwarts to give the Power Trio the time to find the final Horcrux, even though she has to trust Harry by his word alone. Neville basically leads the student resistance in Harry's absence, with help from Ginny and Luna. Reading between the lines, Kingsley Shacklebolt becomes the Big Good after Dumbledore's and Moody's deaths and later becomes the first competent Minister for Magic in years. But from Harry's point of view, he remains a peripheral character. | |

Double-Meaning Title | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_a4905771 | comment |
Double-Meaning Title: Played With. Deathly Hallows is translated as "The Relics of Death" in many languages, which turns the title into this trope. A reader would initially think said relics are Voldemort's Horcruxes (which allow him to cheat death) especially since some of them are very culturally-valued relics in the wizarding world — such as those that belonged to Hogwarts' Founders. It doesn't help that the most common interpretation of the adverb "deathly" is that of "lethal", something that the Horcruxes are in spades because of the traps that surround them and/or their possession and The Corrupter potential. However, it's later revealed this installment is a case of a MacGuffin Title, because the Deathly Hallows do exist and have very little to do with Horcruxes. | |

Ariana, Dumbledore's sister, became half-insane because she refused to use magic after a traumatic experience where she was attacked by three Muggle boys who found out she was a witch. Her family put it about that she just had poor physical health to avoid attracting attention, leading many people to theorize that she was a Squib, when in reality she would have magic exploding out of her when she couldn't keep it in anymore. | |

Even Voldemort respects this; when he calls a one-hour lull in the fighting, he tells the defenders of Hogwarts to dispose of their dead with dignity. | |

Karma Houdini | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: The Malfoys. Narcissa is the only one who evinces redeeming actions, while Draco and Lucius fight for Voldemort until the end. Draco specifically stands with Voldemort in the final battle, trying to capture Harry in the Room of Requirement. They seemingly get off scot-free, though, to be fair, they seem confused by it. Pottermore reveals that they weren't punished because of Narcissa lying to Voldemort and Lucius helping the Ministry round up the remaining Death Eaters after the war. Also, the Dementors apply for this trope. Yes, the Dementors. After sucking out the souls of who knows how many innocent Muggle-borns and condemning them to the hellish existence of absolutely nothing, we never see what happens to them in the book, but Word of God is that they're a kind of fungus born from depression that can be banished once the environment becomes happier; meanwhile, their victims are still condemned to an eternal torment worse than the deepest depths of hell, and nobody seems to notice or care...invoked | |

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Applied to the Seven Potters chase. There were fourteen Order of the Phoenix members against at least thirty Death Eaters. While it was justified for poor aim as they were all flying on brooms, Thestrals, or an enchanted motorcycle, and constantly moving, the good guys had three casualties — Voldy killed Mad-Eye, George lost an ear due to an errant spell aimed at someone else, and Harry undertook a self-inflicted near-suicide action — not counting Harry's injuries caused by his crash, our heroes landed a lot more hits and probable kills. | |

Cowardice Callout | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_a90e3df2 | comment |
Cowardice Callout: Harry learns that Lupin regrets marrying Tonks and fathering a child with her, and his offering support to the Power Trio is just a pretext for him trying to shirk his responsibilities to his family. Harry then proceeds to give Lupin a "The Reason You Suck" Speech that ends with him stating that he never would've thought Lupin, the man who taught Harry how to protect himself from Dementors, would be capable of such cowardice. Lupin at first lashes out and leaves — later in the book, it's indicated that he took Harry's point by getting back together with Tonks. Professor McGonagall screams "Coward!" at Severus Snape after he spends a duel against her going on the defensive before moving to flee as soon as he's outnumbered by Professor Flitwick coming to McGonagall's aid — it's far from the only despicable thing Snape has done in recent memory that would make his colleagues loathe his guts. Subverted when Snape is revealed to have been a triple-agent who was secretly loyal to the heroes' cause all along, re-contextualizing his earlier interactions with his colleagues. | |

A rare villainous example. Voldemort is unaware that Harry is his final (de facto) Horcrux. As a result, he gave himself a way to win even after the other Horcruxes were destroyed. He ruins it, though, by using the Killing Curse on Harry again. | |

Snape has one when he realizes Voldemort is about to kill him. Snape has an even bigger one when he realizes Voldemort is planning to kill Lily after the former informed him of the prophecy he overheard. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_b06bbf4b | comment |
Be Careful What You Wish For: The Deathly Hallows, at least according to legend. Three brothers cheated Death, and Death sought to even the scales through clever curses — he offered each brother a "gift" for their "cleverness". All three were clever enough to realize that it was a trick — but only the last realized that Death knew that they'd figure out that it was a trick. The first brother asked to become powerful enough to defeat anyone who might try to kill him; Death gave this brother the Elder Wand, which made its holder undefeatable in combat. He was killed in his sleep for it, starting a chain of killings that continued every time the Wand resurfaced. The second brother asked to nullify Death's power. Death gave this brother the Resurrection Stone, which could resurrect the dead. It worked as promised, but it turns out that the dead really don't like being brought back to life. He tried to use it to resurrect his lover but killed himself upon realizing this. The third brother realized how much trouble they were in, so he asked for a way to hide from Death. Death was annoyed at being outwitted but gave him the Cloak of Invisibility, which could hide anyone from anything forever. This worked out perfectly; the third brother went on to live a long and happy life, and when he was an old man, passed the cloak on to his son and greeted Death with dignity. Voldemort created his Horcruxes with the intention of defeating death and never dying. He certainly got what he wanted — immortality of a sort — but as a ruined, shrivelled shadow of his former self, trapped forever in the limbo between life and death. The Malfoys spent years working for Voldemort's return. When he does, it results in a long Humiliation Conga for them and almost leads to the death of their only son. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
While Dumbledore briefed Snape on the fragment of Voldemort's soul inside Harry, he intentionally withheld intel on Voldemort's Horcruxes (and how Lily's blood charm within Voldemort's resurrected body could theoretically keep Harry alive even when the Horcrux was destroyed). As with the Order's example above, it's justified by operational security. Again, Dumbledore was both trying to protect their secret advantage and ensure Harry would be killed by Voldemort specficially (as it was the only way to activate the Loophole Abuse and give Harry a chance at survival). | |

Everyone Has Standards | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_b4a6ae4c | comment |
Everyone Has Standards: While Snape has spent the entire series hating Harry for reminding him of James and Lily, he is utterly appalled when he discovers that Dumbledore's ultimate plan hinges on Harry willingly allowing Voldemort to kill him to destroy the Horcrux within himself, permanently guaranteeing that Voldemort can never come back to life or hurt anyone else ever again. As revevealed in flashback during the previous book, even Dumbledore — who'd tolerated Snape's enmity with Harry over the last half a decade — was finally starting to get fed up with Snape's vindictiveness (in this case pettily putting Harry through repeat detentions). While Harry has absolutely despised Snape the entire series (especially after the events of the last book), even he is horrified by the absolutely brutal and petty way Voldemort murders him, to the point of running over to him to ensure he does not die alone. Harry and Malfoy have hated each other's guts the entire series, yet Harry still chooses to save him and Goyle in the burning Room of Requirement, and he's horrified when he first thinks they're dead, with the narration specifically noting "he [Harry] had never wanted this. What a terrible way to die." This ends up paying off later, when Narcissa lies to Voldemort about Harry being dead after the latter informs her that her son is still alive, setting the stones for Voldemort's ultimate downfall. | |

| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_b52355aa | comment |
Dying for Symbolism: Hedwig's death is supposed to represent the death of what remains of Harry's childhood. The only known counter to the killing curse involves laying down your life for another, which is itself is a symbol of Jesus' death and resurrection, if the series is compared to Christianity, which J.K. Rowling is part of, though actually dying is not necessary for the counter to work. | |

Take That! | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_b53077b3 | comment |
"The Tale of the Three Brothers" proves crucial to the finding of the Deathly Hallows and an understanding of how to defeat Voldemort. But of course he's never read it because it's in a book of children's stories. This is Rowling's not-so-subtle Take That! to all the publishers who rejected her draft of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and all the critics who dismiss her work as "for children only". | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Sure, Voldemort. Continue to cast the Killing Curse on "The Boy Who Lived", even though it is clear that the spell backfired on you. Brilliant. Yeah, Bellatrix. Mock Molly Weasley's grief to her face as you threaten the rest of her family. What Could Possibly Go Wrong? According to Ron, only a total prat would run around boasting about wielding the most powerful wand ever and challenging others to duel for it. | |

Unintentional Backup Plan | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_b706d404 | comment |
Unintentional Backup Plan: A rare villainous example. Voldemort is unaware that Harry is his final (de facto) Horcrux. As a result, he gave himself a way to win even after the other Horcruxes were destroyed. He ruins it, though, by using the Killing Curse on Harry again. The heroes had one in place as well. Dumbledore originally planned to depower the Elder Wand by having Snape kill him by consent. This was ruined when Draco Malfoy Disarmed him during their encounter, and Dumbledore never got a chance to reclaim it. Later, Harry Disarmed Draco of his usual hawthorn wand, taking it for his own — and by doing this, Harry (by pure luck) became the master of the Elder Wand, essentially preventing Voldemort from ever becoming its master. This is eventually what allows Harry to win against Voldemort. | |

Self-Induced Allergic Reaction | |

Self-Induced Allergic Reaction: Hermione's quick thinking allows her to prevent Harry from being recognized by the Snatchers when they're surrounded in the woods. However, the disguise isn't foolproof, and the trio has to rely on Draco to look the other way and pretend he can't tell whether it's Harry or not. Luckily, he does. | |

Knight Templar: The young Dumbledore at the time when he was tempted to join Grindelwald's quest to take over the world — he wanted to liberate wizards from having to live in hiding (especially poor Ariana). He stressed to Grindelwald that they should use the minimum amount of force required and that with their power Comes Great Responsibility. Subverted with Grindelwald, who may have come across as one (even using the slogan "for the greater good"), but likely only wanted power. | |

Professor McGonagall screams "Coward!" at Severus Snape after he spends a duel against her going on the defensive before moving to flee as soon as he's outnumbered by Professor Flitwick coming to McGonagall's aid — it's far from the only despicable thing Snape has done in recent memory that would make his colleagues loathe his guts. Subverted when Snape is revealed to have been a triple-agent who was secretly loyal to the heroes' cause all along, re-contextualizing his earlier interactions with his colleagues. | |

Berserk Button | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
Berserk Button: The locket Horcrux taunts Ron with the idea that Harry and Hermione might be sneaking around behind his back. He doesn't take this very well. In case you didn't notice in any of the previous six books, Harry growing up with no parents is a bit of a sore point with him. Lupin and Ron both set him off for nearly abandoning his unborn son and saying that Harry doesn't have to worry about his parents in danger, respectively. Harry gets another one thanks to Umbridge flat-out mentioning that a Muggle-born witch isn't a witch at all. Voldemort had a couple of them, most notably when he found out that the Trio stole the Hufflepuff Cup from Gringotts. He killed the goblin who brought him the message and everyone else in the same room who didn't beat feet the second they realized he was in a bad mood. Ron definitely found Hermione's after he ran out on her and Harry. Upon coming back, she physically attacked him before demanding her wand from Harry. | |

Putting on the Reich: The Ministry of Magic under Voldemort. The Death Eaters' skull is even similar to the SS totenkopf. Nurmengard, Grindelwald's castle turned prison where he himself has been imprisoned for half a century, is an analogue of Nuremberg. His fate ofbecoming the sole prisoner of Nurmengard is probably a reference to Rudolf Hess, who for twenty-one years was the sole occupant of Spandau Prison until his death in 1987. | |

Sparing Them the Dirty Work: It's revealed that Snape's killing of Dumbledore the previous year was carried out at Dumbledore's own request, partially because he was already dying, and partially because he knew that Draco Malfoy had been ordered to kill him, and wanted to spare the boy the burden. Snape, though a little miffed at the implication that he was already beyond saving, dutifully carried out his headmaster's instructions. | |

A Nazi by Any Other Name | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_c2288824 | comment |
A Nazi by Any Other Name: The Power Trio are on the run in one of the most blatant parallels of Nazi-occupied Europe ever seen. The Ministry of Magic has become so corrupted from the inside by Les Collaborateurs, that they essentially pass the Nuremberg Laws against Muggle-born wizards, and under the guidance of Umbridge are shown creating pamphlets touting purity of blood whose content and saccharine covers call to mind the publications of Julius Streicher. The various Death Eater minions inside the Ministry are dressed in khaki clothes, with red, white, and black armbands bearing the Dark Mark. The sign of the Deathly Hallows has a history very similar to that of the swastika, as well — originally an innocent symbol, then used by wizard-supremacist Grindelwald, etched on walls by stupid pricks to get attention... The Polish translation explicitly called those who hunted muggleborns and La Résistance for profit szmalcownicy. Real Life szmalcownicy sold hiding Jews to the Nazis during The War, plus members of Polish resistance groups. | |

New Powers as the Plot Demands: Subverted. It can seem as though the Deluminator is only there to enable Ron's Big Damn Heroes moment. This is rationalized through both The Power of Love and The Power of Friendship. Also, for some reason, Voldemort can fly... with nothing more than a spell that he presumably invented himself. There was some Foreshadowing, though: his chosen name means "Flight of Death" in French. | |

Irony | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: Neville, the other Child of the Original Prophecy that was said to be capable of standing against and fighting Voldemort, is offered by the Big Bad himself to join his side. Neville promptly refuses and is then insulted by Voldemort, and shortly after, he ends up killing Nagini, Voldemort's last Horcrux, rendering him mortal and helping to seal his fate once and for all. Good job helping Neville live up to his part of the Prophecy, Voldy! Draco Malfoy, the hateful, racist, elitist, snobbish, and smug bully that has done everything in his power to make life as difficult for Harry and his friends as possible throughout the entire series, was directly responsible for letting the Death Eaters into the school and getting Dumbledore killed, and whose parents are both Death Eaters fully loyal to Voldemort, ends up being the entire reason Harry manages to triumph over Voldemort, due to Harry saving his life in the Room of Requirement (giving Narcissa Malfoy incentive to lie to Voldemort about Harry's "death"), and Harry disarming him at Malfoy Manor giving the latter the true loyalty of the Elder Wand, causing Voldemort's Killing Curse to rebound and end him once and for all. The Basilisk that Voldemort had plotted to use to purge Hogwarts of Muggle-borns and Harry was used against him by having her venom destroy most of his Horcruxes, which led to his Final Downfall and Death. More irony is the fact that the sword of Godric Gryffindor was used to destroy a few horcuxes, which was only possible because it was made from Goblin silver which absorbed the basilisk venom, the goblins wizards looked down upon ended up helping save the wizard world, doubled by the fact that it took two of the founders, Salazar's Basilisk and Godric's sword, two of the most sworn rivalries in Hogwarts carried out by their houses for centuries, together were able to defeat Voldemort once and for all. Even more ironic, Voldemort's horcurxes that were not destroyed by the basilisk venom were destroyed by Vincent Crabbe and Voldemort himself | |

As Dumbledore noted in the previous book, Harry is the greatest aversion, he had a background and upbringing similar to theirs but somehow became compassionate and mature, avoiding the Pride that led them to commit terrible mistakes. (Being brought up in the same way as a Muggle-born, albeit with more abuse than normal, as well as having been tempered by his parents' sacrifice and having positive influences in supporting friends and family during his school years, might have helped.) | |

Assimilation Academy | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_c4ee877a | comment |
Assimilation Academy: Once Voldemort takes over the Ministry, Hogwarts becomes one of these under Snape and the Carrows. Muggle-borns are barred from attending and every pure- and half-blood youth is forced to attend (previously, they could attend a school abroad or be homeschooled if that's what their parents wanted). Additionally, Defence Against the Dark Arts becomes just the Dark Arts where students are actually taught them and Muggle Studies becomes a compulsory subject where everyone is taught anti-Muggle propaganda. Any student who tries to speak out or disobey the rules is subject to imprisonment in the dungeons and torture by the Carrows. The Slytherin sympathizers, like Crabbe and Goyle, enjoy the changes, while Neville, Ginny, and Luna re-form Dumbledore's Army to rebel against them. | |

Offscreen Moment of Awesome | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_c5b47b36 | comment |
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Ron and Hermione recovering the Basilisk fangs from the Chamber of Secrets. This could have been used to show another spiritual illusion to try and stop them, like with the locket, but it was left out due to the book's Cosmic Deadline (see above). Happily, it's included in the movie. | |

Internal Reveal | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_c5ccf60f | comment |
Internal Reveal: Going into the final book, Ron and Hermione are only aware of the broad strokes of what happened during Harry and Dumbledore's trip to the Cave in Half-Blood Prince. The attack on Hogwarts and the murder of Dumbledore understandably overshadowed everything else that happened that night. With their subsequent preperations for their own Hocrux Hunt, Harry never had a chance to fill them in on the more specific details about that night. So, Ron and Hermione don't learn about what actually happened on the island or about Dumbledore's potion-induced hallucination until Harry tells Aberforth when they arrive in Hogsmeade. | |

Compliment Backfire: The Dursleys have to drive to their safe house to avoid Ministry (and, by extension, Death Eater) detection, because their Order of the Phoenix guards don't know how. Dedalus Diggle praises Vernon on his driving (which would confuse him no end), but Vernon is dismayed to hear that Dedalus can't drive. | |

Tragic Dropout: The Trio. It's not like any of them would have dropped out of Hogwarts if Voldemort hadn't truly taken over. Before the release of Deathly Hallows, fans debated endlessly if the trio had been serious about dropping out of Hogwarts or not — or if they would be forced to attend.invoked However, Word of God says after the war, Hermione went back and finished up her N.E.W.T. studies while Harry and Ron did not. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Word of God in an interview with Daniel Radcliffe asserted that the King's Cross chapter was inspired by Michael Powell's A Matter of Life and Death.invoked The overall structure of the Story Breadcrumbs of multiple Unreliable Narrator that tells us about Dumbledore often with a totally different perspective is reminiscent of Citizen Kane, the book even starts with Harry reading a profile of Dumbledore's career and achievements, much like the newsreel that starts that film. Since this is a magical story, Dumbledore does confirm everything beyond the grave. The last scene before the epilogue where Dumbledore's painting congratulates the hero evokes the ending of Return of the Jedi, with the Force ghosts of Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Anakin Skywalker watching Luke. In 2017, Rowling admitted that the Masonic symbol, which she first saw in John Huston's The Man Who Would be King, influenced the Deathly Hallows symbol. | |

Rage Breaking Point | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_c819533b | comment |
After the Death Eaters take over the Ministry, they quickly adopt a strictly anti-Muggle policy, even setting up Inquisition-style hearings for Muggle-borns. And during one such trial, Dolores Umbridge flat out states that a Muggle-born she is interrogating is not a witch. Harry can't take any more after this. Fortunately, Word of God states that Umbridge ended up in Azkaban for the rest of her life.invoked | |

Seamless Spontaneous Lie | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_c856e477 | comment |
Seamless Spontaneous Lie: Discussed and averted on several occasions. When Harry is Polyjuiced for Bill and Fleur's wedding, the group comes up with the vague identity of "Barny Weasley" in advance, trusting the mass number of Weasleys to keep him from being suspicious. When Ron is attacked by Snatchers after having walked out on Harry and Hermione, he gives the name "Stan Shunpike", admitting that it was easier to claim to be someone he knew about rather than make someone up out of whole cloth and that he was relatively lucky to have been caught by a group of dim bulbs. Ron later cites this after Xenophilius Lovegood sells them out to the Death Eaters; Hermione wonders if Xeno's extended discussion about the Deathly Hallows and seekers thereof was just BS to keep them in one place, but Ron points out how difficult it is to come up with sufficiently detailed BS under pressure and insists that Xeno truly believes what he shared. When Snatchers nab the group afterwards, Harry manages to play this straight with a stroke of pure luck, giving the name "Vernon Dudley" (after the Dursley males), claiming to be a Slytherin (knowing where the common room is because of his second year), and claiming that his father works at Magical Maintenance in the Ministry of Magic ("You know, I think there is a Dudley there..."), despite knowing it'll fall apart at the slightest investigation. Meanwhile, Ron tries the "Stan Shunpike" route again and gets a bloody nose for his trouble before borrowing "Barny Weasley", and Hermione gives the name "Penelope Clearwater", with neither of them going into any more detail than that. | |

Draco in Leather Pants | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_cad57012 | comment |
During the Battle of Hogwarts, Voldemort suggests to Lucius that Draco has perhaps decided to befriend Harry Potter, to which Lucius says "never". This is a nod to fans' Draco in Leather Pantsinvoked attitudes throughout the series, as well as the common trope where a bully or adversary turns good towards the end of the story and joins the hero. Draco does redeem himself towards the very end, but he and Harry never truly become "friends", as they've been through too much. Their sons, on the other hand... | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_cb70651c | comment |
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Okay, so everything is basically magic, but the true story of the Deathly Hallows is never fully explained. Are they powerful magical items made by skilled wizards, or did they really meet Death and he gave them the items? There are elements of them which can't be explained within the continuity of the story, unless you accept the story about Death.note According to Dumbledore at the end of the book, "Whether they met Death on a lonely road... I think it more likely that the Peverell brothers were simply gifted, dangerous wizards who succeeded in creating those powerful objects. The story of them being Death's own Hallows seems to me the sort of legend that might have sprung up around such creations." Also, everything that happens in "King's Cross". As Harry says, "Is this all in my head or is it real?" and gets a Mathematician's Answer in response. Since Harry doesn't learn anything that he couldn't have worked out on his own, there's really no way to be sure. | |

"Eureka!" Moment: Harry has several of these throughout the book.

This then spirals into a horrifying realization when Harry realizes that Voldemort is searching for the Elder Wand so he can finally kill Harry. Harry realizes while staying at Bill and Fleur's cottage that Dumbledore had the Elder Wand the entire time he knew him and that it now resides in his tomb.

Mundane Made Awesome | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_d148b019 | comment |
Mundane Made Awesome: The very last spell that Harry casts at the end of the book is "Reparo", a rather mundane spell for repairing broken objects. Doesn't sound like a fitting conclusion to the series? Well, it helps that he casts it with the Elder Wand — the most powerful wand in history — and he uses to to repair his broken holly-and-phoenix wand, which we were earlier told was irreparable. Still doesn't sound that awesome? Well...there's also the fact that it's the only spell that he casts with the Elder Wand, and he does it to make it clear that he has no intention of claiming the wand's power for himself. This makes him probably the only Wizard in history ever to reject the Elder Wand, the most coveted magical object on Earth. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Snape delivers one of these speeches to Dumbledore, after he reveals that Harry (whom Snape has been protecting) must die in order to defeat Voldemort. It's the one time that Snape gets properly angry at Dumbledore. Harry delivers one to Lupin when he offers to abandon his family to help the trio on their quest, largely out of self-loathing. Harry himself gets one from Ron and Hermione for his overreaction to Lupin. Voldemort delivers one to Harry, accusing him of using his friends and classmates as meatshields during the final battle. Hagrid tearfully yells at the centaurs for not pulling their weight in the battle, implying that their neutrality was the reason Harry was "killed". It's this chewing out that causes the herd to join the fight. | |

Murphy's Bullet | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_d577d839 | comment |
Murphy's Bullet: The Battle of the Seven Potters is riddled with stray spells because everyone is up in the air and therefore is hard to aim. The two spells that land have the most devastating outcomes. First, Hedwig (Harry's beloved owl companion) gets hit by a killing curse. Shortly after, Hagrid gets hit by a stunning spell. Unconscious, Hagrid can't drive the motorbike, so he and Harry start plummeting toward the ground. | |

Elites Are More Glamorous | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_d5c7b415 | comment |
Elites Are More Glamorous: In-Universe. Just when Harry has convinced his Muggle family to accept protection from the Order of the Phoenix, Uncle Vernon complains (again) that they deserve to be guarded by Kingsley Shacklebolt, who (Harry repeats in exasperation) has been assigned to the Muggle Prime Minister. As much as his Uncle Vernon hates and distrusts wizards, this cannot fail to impress him. Harry's Aunt Petunia has heaped scorn on the wizarding world her entire life; but her most shameful secret is that after her sister Lily was admitted to Hogwarts, Petunia wrote Dumbledore, begging to be accepted, as she wanted to be a witch too. | |

A variation. This time, instead of seeing Voldemort's transition from cute, troubled kid to full-on genocidal maniac, we get to see Snape's transition from cute, troubled kid to troubled heartbroken adult, and Dumbledore's transition from cute, troubled kid to wise manipulative Chessmaster — both of them dabbling considerably in the Dark Arts for a while. Apparently coming from a broken home is a prerequisite for this kind of thing. Interestingly, all three of them were Insufferable Geniuses as teenagers. | |

Creator Provincialism: It's subtle because Rowling is careful not to pepper the narrative with the names of real-life places. However, from the time that they escape the Ministry to when they reach Shell Cottage, the Trio never really leave the English West Country, where Rowling was born and raised. | |

Love Redeems | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_d842e380 | comment |
Love Redeems: Dumbledore tells Harry in the first book, "If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love". When Grindelwald lets Voldemort kill him, he says “Kill me, then. Voldemort, I welcome death! But my death will not bring you what you seek. . . . There is so much you do not understand. . . . �. While he is talking about the Elder Wand and magic more broadly, he's also talking about love. His death is meant to represent his love for Dumbledore which ultimately makes him a more sympathetic villain than Voldemort who could never understand loving someone so much that he'd be willing to die for him, even after his own death. It could also be interpreted as Grindelwald trying to make amends in the only way he could for everything that happened between the two of them. | |

The Cavalry: Brought by Slughorn, of all people. Just when Harry appears dead and Voldemort has declared his victory, a massive army of reinforcements led by Slughorn and Charlie Weasley begin closing in. They are then joined by Grawp, the entire centaur herd from the Forbidden Forest, Hogwarts's entire herd of thestrals led by Buckbeak, and then the entirety of Hogwarts's house-elf staff led by Kreacher. The Death Eaters, surely already tired from the night of fighting, are drowned in mere minutes by the reinforcements of Hogwarts. By the time Harry gets personally involved, Voldemort is the only member of his army left. | |

Didn't See That Coming: Voldemort, in the backstory, used Kreacher to test the Drink of Despair trap guarding his Horcrux. He expected the elf to die, but Regulus's orders were to do whatever Voldemort asked, and then go home. So he did, using house-elf magic to bypass the Anti-Apparition field, and ended up leaking the whole setup to Regulus, who realized that Voldemort was going too far for his tastes, and stole the Horcrux and ordered Kreacher to destroy it. | |

As Dumbledore noted in the previous book, Harry is the greatest aversion, he had a background and upbringing similar to theirs but somehow became compassionate and mature, avoiding the Pride that led them to commit terrible mistakes. (Being brought up in the same way as a Muggle-born, albeit with more abuse than normal, as well as having been tempered by his parents' sacrifice and having positive influences in supporting friends and family during his school years, might have helped.) | |

Indy Ploy: The Trio's "Infiltrate Hogsmeade and from there Hogwarts and somehow find the Last Horcrux" plan, which gets lampshaded by Hermione. Justified, as Harry correctly argues they don't have time to come up with a plan of attack. The jig's up and Voldemort knows now about the Horcrux Hunt. If they don't move now and get inside the castle, Voldemort will get to it first and hide the Horcrux in a location they'll never be able to find. | |

The Mole | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_e70127 | comment |
The Mole: Snape turns out to have been on Dumbledore's side all along. After the near-disaster of the Seven Potters operation, the Order fears they have another Snape in their midst and somebody else has turned traitor. Indeed, the prologue confirms in advance that Snape's intel on the Order's mission came from an inside source. Initially, the Order thinks it was Mundungus Fletcher, but grudgingly clear him due to major holes in the evidence (see Locked Out of the Loop).This sets up a minor mystery of not only who leaked the intel, but why they didn't inform the Death Eaters about the decoy Potters. It's eventually revealed there actually isn't a mole inside the Order — or rather, it's a reverse-mole. It was actually Snape who fed operational details — specifically the idea to use the decoy Potters — to a bewitched Mundungus. Snape then used his "inside source" to "discover" the plan and report it to Voldemort both to give Harry a fighting chance and to ensure his own deep cover was preserved. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_e83f211c | comment |
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Harry is shocked to hear Arthur shout at Kingsley instead of proving who he is (even more when you remember his strict adherence to the password system in the previous book). Justified in that he's in a hurry to see George. During their previous year, Hermione tended to disapprove of the use of the "Muffliato" spell because she disliked its source (she considered its inventor "shady" and, therefore, imparted the same sentiment to the spell itself). This year, however, she starts using it more liberally, especially once the trio have to go on the run, to help hide their tracks better. It was discussed when she used it inside the Weasley household for the first time: Speaking of Hermione, during the Battle of Hogwarts, she asks Harry to utilize his Psychic Link with Voldemort and look inside him and learn of his thoughts, something that she always wanted Harry to avoid whenever possible right up to that point, to find out his location and get Ron to stick with the mission objective of destroying Horcruxes after Fred's death. | |

Don't Fear the Reaper | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_e8491efa | comment |
Don't Fear the Reaper: The youngest Peverell brother, having lived to age after a full life, meets up with death like an old friend. The movie actually shows the two embracing. It's surprisingly heartwarming in the context. Dumbledore gives a similar message to Harry at King's Cross. Ultimately what it truly means to be the "Master of Death." It's not escaping death, but rather accepting that death is inevitable, and that there are far worse fates than dying. Harry became the Master of Death because he came to this realization while unwittingly acquiring all three of the Deathly Hallows, and willingly went to what he fully believed would be his death to make Voldemort killable. | |

No Man Should Have This Power | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_e888fbd8 | comment |
No Man Should Have This Power: Harry regards the Hallows as this. At least the Wand and Stone (from dialogue in the book, and later as made evident in the belated sequel Cursed Child, one can assume he kept the Cloak). He lost the Stone in the forest, and deliberately refuses to look for it again. Also, in regards to the wand, in the book, he put it back in Dumbledore's grave with the hope that he, Harry, would die naturally so the cycle of violence over the wand would end. | |

Exact Words | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: The title. Deathly Hallows means "of Death", not "capable of inflicting death". This makes more sense after their history is revealed. When the trio are talking to Griphook about breaking into Gringotts, they promise to give him the sword that he is asking as payment afterwards, leaving out that after means after they have used it to destroy the rest of the Horcruxes. Griphook also invokes this trope by agreeing to help them break into Gringotts, but not saying anything about helping them get out. Griphook wins this battle of exact words. | |

Pinball Protagonist: It's general across the series, but the plot of Deathly Hallows involves Harry largely wandering from one moment to the next stumbling around to find clues and the next Horcrux location. It begins with the attack on Bill and Fleur's wedding, forcing the Trio into hiding and then going to 12 Grimmauld Place, where Harry finds out who R.A.B. is, and then spending the major first half of the book solely on locating, capturing and destroying that Horcrux while the final section has him locate the remaining in very short order and again by pure accident. | |

As Long as There Is One Man: In the climax of the book, Voldemort has apparently killed Harry (who's faking it, but that's not what's important here), and drags his body out for all the people in Hogwarts still fighting the Death Eaters to see. The fighters seem pretty cowed until one person steps forward... Neville Longbottom, who's spent the entire series getting mocked, cursed, beaten, battered, and having his parents' misfortune thrown in his face. Voldemort offers to let Neville join his army, and Neville responds, "I'll join you when hell freezes over," followed by a battle cry. | |

Anti-Climax: The final confrontation between Harry and Lord Voldemort ends rather suddenly. Voldemort casts the Killing Curse at Harry with the Elder Wand, but since Harry is its true master, the curse backfires and kills Voldemort. From a storytelling point of view, the true climax of the novel was slightly earlier, when Voldemort "kills" Harry in the Forest (and sealed his own fate); everything after that was the denouement, but Voldemort (and first-time readers) did not know that. | |

The words "MAGIC IS MIGHT" are inscribed on it to make its claim clear that wizards are superior to non-magical creatures. | |

Redemption Equals Death | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_f1492605 | comment |
Redemption Equals Death: R.A.B (Regulus Arcturus Black): when he discovered what a monster Voldemort was, he stole the Horcrux and died in the process. Downplayed with Rufus Scrimgeour, but despite his and Harry's angry clashes, he refused to give away any information about Harry's whereabouts under Voldemort's torture which gets him killed. The trio share shocked and grateful looks when Lupin tells them what happened. Possibly for Gellert Grindelwald. When Dumbledore hears that Grindelwald, the world's most powerful and dangerous Dark wizard pre-Voldemort, was killed for refusing to tell Voldemort where the Elder Wand was, he mentions there being rumours that Grindelwald may have shown some remorse in the later years of his life sentence and speculates Grindelwald's open defiance to his successor might have been his way to make amends. Harry also theorizes it could also have been to prevent Voldemort from breaking into Dumbledore's tomb, which moves Dumbledore to tears. This could be interpreted as Grindewald trying to make amends for his old lover for everything that happened between them in the only way he could. | |

Easily Forgiven | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_f36c4f98 | comment |
Easily Forgiven: Percy Weasley after having been estranged from his family since the hiatus between Books 4 and 5. Most surprisingly, the first person to welcome him back is Fred, who was among his most vocal detractors following Percy's defection. It helps, though, that Percy doesn't need prompting to admit publicly and loudly that his behaviour in the previous books was foolish and wrong, and that he fully agrees with Fred's highly insulting assessment of said behaviour. The Malfoy family manage to escape punishment for their crimes due to their last-minute Heel–Face Turn. Ron, when he returns after leaving Harry and Hermione. As Harry points out, Ron not only saved his life on returning, but was Brainwashed and Crazy when he left in the first place. Further, Ron's arrival was just in time to save Harry's life, and then Harry lets Ron destroy the locket — an experience that turns out to be harder on Ron than Harry expected. To Harry, all this makes up for Ron's prior behaviour. Toyed with on Hermione's part, as she obviously forgives him instantly, but tortures him (metaphorically speaking) on a regular basis until she feels enough time has passed to show it. | |

Would Hit a Girl: Crabbe proves that he's not only willing to do this but is also willing to set one on fire. A non-lethal version involves Harry merely knocking Umbridge unconscious with a spell. | |

Anger Born of Worry | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_f4b1129f | comment |
Anger Born of Worry: When Harry, Hermione and Ron go off looking for horcruxes, Ron gets discouraged about how tough the search is, so he runs off. Hermione is worried sick, and while Harry forgives Ron after his Big Damn Heroes moment, Hermione isn't so forgiving (at first); Harry has to cast a spell to keep them apart: | |

Cosmic Deadline: After many pages detailing a camping trip and other hairsbreadth escapes, suddenly the trio arrives at Hogwarts and truckloads of important, nay, essential information is revealed, and the plot relevant (or irrelevant) deaths start cropping up all over the place. | |

Conveniently Interrupted Document | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_f65c014c | comment |
Conveniently Interrupted Document: Near the beginning, Harry finds a letter from one of his parents which mentions Dumbledore, and hints at a surprising revelation about his past. However, the second page of the letter is missing. He finds out much later that the revelation would have been of some use to him at the time, and that it was removed for reasons completely unrelated to any desire to keep it from him. | |

Last Stand: The Battle of Hogwarts is one for both factions. With Voldemort on the verge of being mortal once more, he lays siege to the school with everything he has to prevent this from happening. Meanwhile, the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore's Army, and their allies have all rallied at Hogwarts to hold the line for as long as possible for Harry, Ron, and Hermione to find and destroy the last Horcrux. | |

Darkest Hour | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_f91d1d4f | comment |
Darkest Hour: The halfway point of the book is by far the darkest and most hopeless moment in the entire series. Ron walks out on the group, leaving Harry and Hermione to fend for themselves, the two are stuck with the locket Horcrux with no way to destroy it and have no leads on any of the others, they have no idea what's going on with Voldemort or any of their allies that are currently fighting or on the run, and the two are nearly killed by Nagini and Voldemort himself when they go to visit Godric's Hallow. The only remotely happy thing that occurs during this stretch of the book is Harry seeing all of the encouraging messages left for him on his old house, letting him know that he is not alone in his fight against Voldemort. | |

Prophecies Are Always Right | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_f9636192 | comment |
Prophecies Are Always Right: A prediction by the Sorting Hat that the four Houses would need to unite to defeat evil, made in book five. While Harry and Ron initially balk at uniting with the Slytherins, some of them end up playing key roles in Voldemort's defeat: Draco Malfoy unknowingly takes possession of the Elder Wand from Dumbledore, setting the stage for Harry to take it unknowingly from him. His mother, Narcissa, lies to Voldemort and tells him Harry is dead. An entire book in itself could be dedicated to Severus Snape and his efforts to bring down Lord Voldemort. House Head Horace Slughorn, after leading his students to safety, helps round up reinforcements for the second half of the final battle. He also helps triple-team Voldemort with Minerva McGonagall and Kingsley Shacklebolt until Harry steps in. According to Word of God, several Slytherin students were among Slughorn's reinforcements.invoked | |

Their moments of levity are shot down with a "Dude, Not Funny!" rebuke from Moody, and the kicker is when Fred is killed in the final battle. | |

Comically Missing the Point: When Hermione and Xenophilius get into an argument about the Deathly Hallows and Xeno challenges Hermione to prove that the Resurrection Stone doesn't exist, Hermione scoffs that you could believe in anything if the only basis for your beliefs is that they can't be disproved. Xeno agrees but sees it as a sign that Hermione is coming round to his way of thinking rather than a criticism. | |

Happy Ending | |

The Epilogue, however, turns this into more of a Happy Ending. The Wizarding World has been rebuilt for the better, Dementors have been removed from Azkaban, and our heroes managed to get married and have children. Ginny and Harry married and had three kids, while Ron and Hermione married and had two kids, making the main trio in-laws. The ending shows the next generation of wizards heading to Hogwarts in a peaceful era, where the terror of Voldemort is nothing more than a painful memory. And Harry's scar hasn't hurt since Voldemort's defeat, signifying nothing but peaceful days to come. | |

Death Seeker | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / int_fff371b4 | comment |
Death Seeker: Implied with Grindelwald. He snarks at Voldemort some and then lets him kill him without any sort of fight. He even says, "I welcome death." Given that he's about 115, had been locked in a prison for over half a century with nothing to do other than wallow over his own misdeeds, and the only person he ever really cared about is dead, it's not shocking that death was the only sort of comfort he had left. | |
