Resumo de Harry Potter And The Deathly Hollows

Leaving the Dursleys
The book opens with Lord Voldemort and his followers plotting to ambush Harry Potter, who is about to leave Privet Drive for the last time. Shortly before his protection at the Dursleys'' home expires on his 17th birthday, the Order of the Phoenix move Harry and the Dursleys to separate safe locations. Before leaving, Dudley uncharacteristically expresses his gratitude to Harry for saving him from the Dementors. Order members escort Harry, but despite using six Harry-lookalike decoys, the real Harry is identified en route and ambushed by Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Harry and the others narrowly escape to The Burrow, although Hedwig and Mad-Eye Moody are killed, and George Weasley''s ear is severed by a glancing spell.
A few days later, the Minister of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour arrives to give Harry, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger bequests from Albus Dumbledore''s will: Ron is given Dumbledore''s Deluminator, Hermione receives a book of fairy tales, and Harry inherits Godric Gryffindor''s sword and the Snitch he caught in his first ever Quidditch match. The sword is withheld, however; Scrimgeour claims it is a historical artefact belonging to the Ministry.
Search for the Horcruxes
During Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour''s wedding reception, Kingsley Shacklebolt sends a Patronus warning that, "The Ministry has fallen. Scrimgeour is dead. They are coming." Death Eaters soon arrive. Harry, Ron, and Hermione escape by Disapparating and eventually take refuge at the deserted Black family home. While there, Harry notices that Sirius Black''s late brother (and former Death Eater) Regulus has the same initials as the "R.A.B." who removed the locket Horcrux from the hidden sea cave. Hermione recalls once seeing a locket at Grimmauld Place, and Harry sends Kreacher the House Elf to fetch Mundungus Fletcher, who admits he stole the locket and bribed Dolores Umbridge with it. Positive this is the Horcrux, they infiltrate the Ministry of Magic using Polyjuice Potion. They escape with the locket but are unable to destroy it.
When their hiding place at Grimmauld Place is discovered, the trio go on the run. After several months, they overhear that Gryffindor''s sword has been secured in Bellatrix Lestrange''s vault at Gringotts Bank, although the Ministry is unaware it is a replica; the real sword''s whereabouts is unknown. Harry knows the sword can destroy Horcruxes and wants to search for it, but Ron, fearing for his family''s safety and frustrated that Harry has no real plan for finding either the sword or the Horcruxes (feelings enhanced by wearing the locket Horcrux), decides to leave. Harry and Hermione go to Godric''s Hollow, hoping that Dumbledore hid the sword there. However, they are ambushed by Voldemort and his snake Nagini. During their escape, Hermione accidentally breaks Harry''s wand.
One night, a doe-shaped Patronus appears near their camp and leads Harry to Gryffindor''s real sword. As Harry tries to retrieve it from an icy pond, the locket Horcrux tightens around his neck, nearly strangling him. Aided by the Deluminator, Ron returns and rescues Harry and destroys the Horcrux with the sword. Ron says that Voldemort''s name is ''tabooed'': anyone uttering it reveals their location.
The Deathly Hallows
The trio go to Xenophilius Lovegood, Luna''s father to ask him about a symbol they have encountered several times. He tells them it represents the Deathly Hallows, three legendary objects that conquer death: the Elder Wand, Resurrection Stone, and Invisibility Cloak. Harry is convinced that his Invisibility Cloak is one of the Hallows. When the trio become suspicious over Luna''s absense, Lovegood admits she was abducted by Death Eaters. Hoping she will be returned if he cooperates, he has alerted the Ministry that the trio are there, but they escape as Death Eaters arrive.
Snatchers capture the trio at their camp after Harry inadvertently sprisoned at Malfoy Manor, along with Luna Lovegood, Dean Thomas, Ollivander the wandmaker, and Griphook the goblin. Finding the sword among the trio''s possessions, Bellatrix Lestrange suspects they have broken into her vault at Gringrotts Bank and tortures Hermione for information. Dobby apparates into the cellar to rescue the prisoners. Peter Pettigrew, hearing the noise, appears. As Ron and Harry attack him, Pettrigrew chokes Harry. When Harry demands he repay his life debt, Pettigrew loosens his grip, but is then murdered by his own silver hand in retribution. Harry and Ron rush upstairs to rescue Hermione, and Harry captures Bellatrix and Draco''s wands. The group escapes by apparating with Dobby to Shell Cottage, Bill and Fleur Weasley''s home, but Dobby has been fatally stabbed by Bellatrix.
While at the cottage, Ollivander confirms the Elder Wand''s existence and says that wands can change their allegiance if the previous owners are defeated or disarmed. The trio plot with Griphook to infiltrate Gringotts, convinced another Horcrux is hidden in the Lestrange vault. Disguised with Polyjuice potion and aided by Griphook, the trio gain entry into the vault and retrieve Helga Hufflepuff''s cup Horcrux; Griphook takes the sword, and the trio barely escape with the Cup. Voldemort now realises that his Horcruxes are being destroyed, and through his mental link with Harry, he unintentionally reveals that one is hidden at Hogwarts. Harry eventually learns that Ravenclaw''s Diadem is the Horcrux
The Battle of Hogwarts
The trio arrive in Hogsmeade. Aberforth Dumbledore, Albus'' brother, helps them secretly enter Hogwarts. Harry alerts the staff to Voldemort''s impending invasion. The Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore''s Army, and former Hogwarts students arrive as Voldemort''s forces attack; as the fierce battle ensues, casualties mount, including Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, Tonks and Colin Creevey. Harry remembers seeing the Diadem in the Room of Requirement and goes there to search for it. Meanwhile, Ron and Hermione enter the Chamber of Secrets to retrieve basilisk fangs to eliminate Horcruxes with; Hermione destroys Hufflepuff''s Cup. In the Room of Requirement, the three are assaulted by Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle. But Crabbe mishandles the powerful Fiendfyre spell, killing himself and inadvertently destroying the Diadem.
Harry glimpses Voldemort''s thoughts again. The trio sneak into the Shrieking Shack where they overhear Voldemort telling Snape that he believes Snape became the Elder Wand''s master when he killed its former owner, Dumbledore. Convinced that Snape''s death will cause the wand''s allegiance to pass to him, Voldemort orders Nagini to kill Snape, then leaves. As he is dying, Snape gives Harry his memories; they reveal that Snape was loyal to Dumbledore, motivated by his lifelong love for Harry''s mother, Lily. Dumbledore, doomed to die after being cursed by Gaunt''s ring Horcrux, had ordered Snape to kill him, if necessary, to spare Draco from fulfilling Voldemort''s task. It was Snape who sent the doe Patronus to lead Harry to Gryffindor''s sword. The memories also expose that Harry himself is a Horcrux; Voldemort cannot die while Harry lives.
Resigned to his fate, Harry goes alone to the Forbidden Forest where Voldemort awaits. The Snitch opens to reveal the Resurrection Stone. Harry summons the spirits of his parents, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin, who provide comfort and accompany him Voldemort''s camp. He then willingly allows Voldemort to strike him with the Avada Kedavra curse. Awakening in an otherworldly place, Harry is uncertain whether he is alive or dead. Albus Dumbledore appears and explains that, just as Voldemort cannot die while his soul fragment remains in Harry, Harry cannot be killed while his blood resides in Voldemort''s body; however, Voldemort''s soul fragment within Harry has been destroyed by the killing curse. Harry has the choic
