One was a wand of unbeatable power, another was a stone that could resurrect the dead, and the last was a cloak that granted the wearer impenetrable invisibility. Legend said that whoever reunited these Hallows would be the Master of Death.
Harry is not immortal because he owns all three of the Deathly Hallows and becomes master of death; he is master of death because he accepts his mortality.
At different points, Dumbledore possessed all three Deathly Hallows. He won the Elder Wand from Grindelwald, had the Invisibility Cloak in his possession when James Potter died, and wore the Resurrection Stone as it sat in Marvolo Gaunt's ring.
Harry eventually comes to possess all three Hallows – the cloak being inherited from his father James Potter, later understood to be a descendant of one of the Peverell brothers, the Resurrection Stone in the Golden Snitch bequeathed to him by Dumbledore, and the allegiance and mastery of the Elder Wand when he defeats ...
Many wizards believe that the person who masters the three Deathly Hallows (which are the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone and the Cloak of Invisibility) will be the Master of Death and will achieve some form of immortality, while a larger proportion dismiss both the concept and the three artefacts as a fairy-tale.
Voldemort intentionally made six Horcruxes, but when he used Avada Kedavra on Harry, he unintentionally created a seventh Horcrux. Instead of dying, Lily's love for Harry created a counter 'curse' known as Sacrificial Protection and saved Harry.
The death eaters now quite effectively used the cruciatus and imperius curse as you might have seen, but why only rarely the avada kedavra curse? It's because it requires strength, powerful magical ability, to be able to use a curse of that magnitude and power, and that too repeatedly during a duel.
James inherited the cloak from his father, Fleamont Potter, who inherited it as a descendant of Iolanthe Peverell -- a granddaughter of Ignotus Peverell. The cloak passed down through generations of the family until it reached James and then Harry.
After some reflection, Harry understands that the Stone would not help him after some reflection. But the fact remains that his initial choice is the Stone, showing that he is largely focused on death.
Dumbledore, at one point or another, took possession of all three Deathly Hallows, too (not all all the same time, though). He borrowed the Invisibility Cloak from James Potter once. He defeated the owner of the Elder Wand, Gellert Grindelwald, in a duel, and thus became the owner of that super-vital artifact.
In one of these newly minted futures, Albus is in Gryffindor when he goes to school. The reason why is shockingly mundane: His cousin bet that he couldn't get into the House if his life depended on it.
Voldemort wasn't aware of Harry being a pseudo-horcrux because he didn't plan it, and Harry didn't know either until Voldemort killed him, but he actually killed the piece of soul kept in him. It was an anonymous present waiting for him on Christmas morning. How did Dumbledore get the cloak of invisibility?
Albus Severus is the main character in "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child." He's the ugly duckling of the family, is sorted into Slytherin, befriends Scorpius Malfoy, and isn't good at magic. He's nicknamed "Albus Potter, the Slytherin Squib."
Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley destroy the Hufflepuff's cup Horcrux inside the Chamber of Secrets—Hermione giving it the fatal blow with a basilisk fang.
The Rowling Library on Twitter: "Without Hermione, Harry would have died in book one.
This was the one Voldemort had heard of, and he coveted it for its history and unbeatable reputation. At first he wanted only to defeat Harry, but after a time he became obsessed with obtaining it to make himself truly invulnerable. And obtain it he did, but not under circumstances that made him its master.
The information in this broadcast will prove extremely heartening to Harry, as he learns that he is not alone in fighting Voldemort. It will, however, inadvertently result in the Trio being captured. We learn later that the doe was Severus Snape's Patronus.
Xenophilius betrays them to the Death Eaters, hoping to free his daughter Luna, whom the Ministry has imprisoned, and they narrowly escape from his house. Harry is tempted to pursue the Hallows and abandon his quest for the Horcruxes.
In Deathly Hallows, after the Tale of the Three Brothers, which gift is best, which one you'd choose? Hermione said, “the Cloak,” Ron said, “the wand,” and Harry said, “the stone.” What does this say about each of them?
In the movie, professor Minerva McGonagall gives Harry Potter a Nimbus 2000 when he joins the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
While in school together, Sirius once tricked Snape into almost entering the Shrieking Shack while Lupin was there, transformed into a werewolf. James realised the danger and stopped Snape, saving his life; this is the incident Dumbledore referred to at the end of the first book.
In a chat with fans on the-leaky-cauldron.org, J. K. Rowling answered a fan's question of why Albus Dumbledore was sometimes able to see Harry under the Cloak of Invisibility, explaining that he used the Human-presence-revealing spell with non-verbal magic.
Harry became so enamoured with the spell that he eventually used it to finish off Lord Voldemort. Here's how Harry's relationship with Expelliarmus became his signature – and why that's a good and bad thing.
In order to conjure the avada kedavra curse, you have to want to kill your victim. We all know that Voldemort could easily kill a child without an ounce of remorse... but not Snape. Snape didn't want to kill Dumbledore, and this was why the spell was blue instead of the usual green.
