As his adventures and the dangers he finds himself in increase, Harry begins to understand exactly what Dumbledore wants him to do. Anyone with those three elements would become a master of death, and Harry this was their only chance to defeat Voldemort and live to tell the tale. They managed to destroy another Horcrux with Gryffindor’s sword and were once again happy when they discovered three mysterious pieces of magic called the Deathly Hallows.

Ron redeemed himself a few weeks later by returning and saving Harry’s life at the last moment. They had almost died too many times to count, and their spirits were falling when Harry saw them being broken in battle. It seems that every step they take is waiting for them.

Finally, they decide to explore Godric’s Hollow in search of clues and are almost captured by Voldemort again. Harry and Hermione were devastated that he had abandoned them. One night he and Harry had a fight and Ron left. Due to his lack of plans, lack of food, and lack of progress, his mood is often low and Ron becomes particularly argumentative. The three usually have food at the beginning of winter, their trip is not a day at the beach. Rumors about Dumbledore’s past haunt Harry and he begins to wonder if the headmaster he has long respected might not have a much darker past than he’s letting on. It was only once they were destroyed that Harry knew Voldemort could truly be killed. The Dursleys are forced into hiding so Voldemort’s Death Eaters don’t pester them for information, and Harry joins Ron and Hermione on a difficult mission to find and destroy the last of Voldemort’s Horcruxes. Harry eventually grows up and eventually embarks on his final journey to defeat Voldemort once and for all.
