SEVEN BOOKS... ONE STORY
'His hand closed automatically around the fake Horcrux, but in spite of everything, in spite of the dark and twisting path he saw stretching ahead for himself, in spite of the final meeting with Voldemort he knew must come, whether in a month, in a year, or in ten, he felt his heart lift at the thought that there was still one last golden day of peace left to enjoy with Ron and Hermione.'
With these words Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince drew to a close. And here, in this seventh and final book, Harry discovers what fate truly has in store for him as he inexorably makes his way to that final meeting with Voldemort.
In this thrilling climax to the phenomenally bestselling series, J.K. Rowling unveils in spectacular fashion the answers to the many questions that have been so eagerly awaited.
Harry has been burdened with a dark, dangerous and seemingly impossible task: that of locating and destroying Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes. Never has Harry felt so alone, or faced a future so full of shadows. But Harry must somehow find within himself the strength to complete the task he has been given.
This is the conclusion to the series that J.K. Rowling first dreamt up seventeen years ago.
