Danger lies within the walls of the first place Harry Potter called home. Now with Dumbledore gone, the wizarding world being under the reign of Lord Voldemort, and his prime Death Eater, Severus Snape, being Hogwarts headmaster, everything seems to have fallen. But hope still dwells within their hearts, since Harry Potter is who the Prophecy speaks of.
Here, Harry, Ron and Hermione get out of Hogwarts and try to find missing Horcuxes for they hold the key into finally defeating Lord Voldemort. But there's just one thing: He doesn't know what each Horcrux looks like, where they are or how would he even destroy it.
Meanwhile, he is told that Dumbledore left them a will: A Deluminator for Ron, An old book of children's tales for Hermione, and the Golden Snitch for Harry. However, none of these made any sense of how it was to help them find Horcruxes.
But with the book, Hermione finds a story of three brothers who had three powerful objects given to them by Death: An unbeatable and the most powerful wand: the Wand of destiny; A stone that brings people who have entered Death's grasp back to life: The Resurrection Stone; and a cloak whose cloth is as supple as water and as light as air, Death's Cloak of Invisibility. With the help of Xenophilius Lovegood, Luna Lovegood's father, they learn that these are, what some people call, the "Deathly Hallows" and any beholder would be "The master of death".
Harry thinks if it is really this way it's gonna be: Hallows versus Horcruxes?
Harry falls curious and obsessed with the Deathly Hallows and yearns into finding them; he believes it was another alternative into defeating Voldemort.
During his journey, he sights glimpses into Voldemort's mind, making him see everything through Voldemort's eyes. Despite the burning sensation he feels while invading Voldemort's mind, he finds help from it and learns that Voldemort is also on a quest. A quest to find one thing that he only heard of from a fairy tale, and assumed for it to exist: The very own Wand of Destiny, the unbeatable wand.
More and more tragic deaths come, and it is up to him to make each of theirs a noble rest. He meets near-death moments and narrowly escapes them, but in the end, "neither could live, while the other survives"
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is the first half for the finale of the last book of the Harry Potter series.

Deathly Hallows named top book of past decade
As we move toward 2010, The Telegraph is taking a look back at the top 100 books of the past decade. Coming in at No. 1 is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The entry reads:
If you don’t know what a Muggle is by now, you’re either Rip van Winkle or enormously stubborn. This is the seventh and final instalment in Rowling’s record-breaking series about Harry Potter, the world’s most famous lightning-scarred boy wizard and his tribulations with Lord Voldemort. We’ve seen Harry grow from a spindly, messy-haired 11-year-old into a heroic young adult. Children have grown up with him, finding in his battles metaphors for their own. This volume alone sold 15 million copies in the first 24 hours after it was published. Whether wickedly skewering suburbia, or bringing Harry, Ron and Hermione into mortal danger, Rowling is never less than absorbing. Some may sneer at her books, but they are triumphant sagas about the defeat of evil that tap into our basic hunger for stories. Most importantly, she makes reading a 700-page book seem easy. This one even has a quotation from Aeschylus as its epigraph. It stands as a cornerstone of the decade, a melding of high and low culture that appeals to all ages and nations.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone came in at No. 41 on the top 100 films of the past decade list. Do you think Deathly Hallows deserves the top spot?
