Joanne Kathleen Rowling. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Book 7

This book became the perfect turning point in a great story. There are no cozy lessons at Hogwarts anymore — only a dangerous journey, grown-up decisions, and a real battle for peace.

It’s the summer before Harry’s final year at Hogwarts. The wizarding world is now completely divided, and Voldemort’s followers are growing stronger. The Ministry of Magic officials are falling under his control one by one, and Severus Snape — who killed Dumbledore — has become the new Headmaster of Hogwarts.

Harry Potter is still hiding from his enemies, but they are closing in on him. Yet he cannot simply stay in a safe place — he must find the Horcruxes that contain fragments of Voldemort’s soul, for without destroying them, victory is impossible. Harry decides not to return to school and instead sets off with his friends on a perilous quest.
