In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — A lot of things happens at the end of this book because it doesn’t only resolve the conflict in this one, but also reveal the truth of subplots that we’ve seen through all the books. Harry, Ron, and Hermione arrive at Hogwarts. The teachers drive Snape out of the school to buy Harry some time to find the horcrux, and Voldemort and his followers attack the school. Harry then leave for Voldemort’s encampment, where he witness Snape dying because Voldemort kills him in order to make the Elder Wand truly his. Snape then gives Harry memories to view in a pensieve. Harry learns the truth about Snape: that he didn’t kill Dumbledore and that he’s been protecting Harry all along. Harry learns that he himself is a horcrux and must die in order to make Voldemort mortal. On the way to Voldemort, Harry tells Neville Longbottom to kill Nagini, the last known horcrux. Once Harry is face to face with Voldemort, he allows himself to be killed. After talking to Dumbledore in a pathway between life and death—a dreamlike location that looks like Kings Cross Station—Harry decides to get back to the life of the living. Believing that Harry is dead, Voldemort displays his body in front of his friend at Hogwarts. Neville kills Nagini, leaving Voldemort vulnerable. Harry shows himself, alive, and engage in a last duel between himself and Voldemort. Seeing is how the Elder Wand doesn’t really belong to Voldemort because Snape didn’t kill Dumbledore—the wand’s previous master—but instead belonged to Draco Malfoy who disarmed Dumbledore the night the Headmaster died and now, in turn, belong to Harry who disarmed Draco Malfoy in Malfoy Manor earlier in the story. Voldemort attempts a killing curse, but the Elder Wand refuses to act against Harry, who is the wand’s true master. The curse rebounds and kills Voldemort instead. After the battle is won, Harry uses the Elder Wand to repair his original wand that broke in the fight against Nagini in Bathilda Bagshot’s house, and says that he will return the wand to Dumbledore’s tomb, where it may vanish out of history. An epilogue then shows Harry and the others sending their children away to Hogwarts.
