Summary
The legend and quest for the Deathly Hallows inHarry Potterbothered me for years , but I have a possibility about what uniting these artifacts actually meant . The big reveal at the end ofDeathly Hallowsthat Harry had become lord of the Elder Wand was for sure a good one . It was that final turn of events of destiny that reminded everyone that the son Who Lived was meant to destroy Lord Voldemort all along . However , since Harry had united all three Deathly Hallows , he had technically become the master of Death , but the mode this toy out never sat correct with me .
By complete chance , Harry wound up the rightful possessor of allthree Hallows inHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows . He had inherit the Cloak of Invisibility from his father , who had been a descendant of the artefact ’s original owner , Ignotus Peverell . The Resurrection Stone became his when Albus Dumbledore left it to him inside Harry ’s very first Golden Snitch , and it could only be retrieved at the " close " of the boy ’s animation . Harry claimed the Elder Wand when he disarmed Draco Malfoy , who was secretly its honest owner , despite never rival it . So , Harry became master of destruction — or did he ?
The Fantastic Beasts franchise came after the Harry Potter movies wrap , making the chronological order a bit puzzling for Wizarding World fans .

The Deathly Hallows Legend Claimed Whoever United The Hallows Would Become Master Of Death
There Was No Magical Reaction When The Deathly Hallows Were United (Despite The Legend)
The " Tale of Three Brothers " story inHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallowsoutlines the caption of the Deathly Hallows story . According to Xenophilius Lovegood , this ancient narration had inspired the pursuit for the Deathly Hallows , which myriad wizards across the centuries had take up in hopes of becoming master of Death . Gelert Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledorehad fallen into this escapade , both believing that link all three Hallows would make them masters of Death , which , in their intellect , would make them unvanquishable .
Of course , Harry was n’t invincible when he became the first person to connect the Deathly Hallows . Though it ’s straight thatHarry faced Voldemort and again survived the Killing Curse , this was only possible because Voldemort had used the son ’s profligate ( which incorporate the substance of Lily ’s forfeiture ) to resurrect his body , thus make it so Harry could n’t die so long as the Dark Lord lived . The Hallows only help Harry in his ego - sacrifice , and even then , it was only the Cloak and Ring that served much purpose as Harry entered the Forbidden Forest to die .
TheHarry Pottermovies never explicate why Harry go Voldemort ’s Killing Curse , but the books make it clear it had nothing to do with the Deathly Hallows .

For all the build - up to Harry possessing all three Deathly Hallows , his having technical possession of all three did n’t come too much . Each was utilitarian individually , but Harry did n’t even know for certain that he had ownership of the Elder Wand until her had already relinquish self-will of the Resurrection Stone . The combined Hallows did n’t spare Harry ’s life , and he was n’t master of Death , aside from the fact that he is willing to die out . So , what was the dot of the quest and caption ?
I Believe The Deathly Hallows Legend Was Deeply Misunderstood
The Deathly Hallows Legend Was Actually More Like A Prophecy
It ’s evident by theend ofHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallowsthat being sea captain of Death did n’t mean being immortal . A major report of the story is that a person can only master death when they no longer revere dying and , therefore , " greet last like an old friend . “However , the legend arrogate that uniting the Hallows would " make the owner sea captain of Death . " What has always thrown me off is thatthe Hallows did n’t doanythingfor Harry as a united whole . Voldemort could n’t have killed Harry anyway , and Harry would have been willing to give himself and , therefore , " lord " death even without the Hallows .
Rather than the three Hallows making the owner the master of Death , only the master of Death could have all three Hallows .
I believe that not only Xenophilius but also Dumbledore , Grindelwald , and anyone else who had studied the legend of the Deathly Hallows deeply misinterpret what would happen if they unify all three Hallows . Over the year , the quest ’s instructions had become misrepresented . Rather than the three Hallows ready the owner the lord of Death , only the master of Death could own all three Hallows . The legend was n’t instructing wizard on what would happen if they merge these ancient artifacts ; instead , it was prophesizing about the only wizard who would be worthy of claiming them — the male child Who Lived .
Harry had already defied death before unite the Deathly Hallows and had already learned through his parents ' exercise the exponent of sacrifice . Therefore , I speculate that Harry Potter was the captain of Death from the very commencement and was destined to join the Hallows even before he was born .
The Ironic Truth About The Deathly Hallows Fits Perfectly With Harry Potter’s Themes
A Deathly Hallows Prophecy Aligns With The Irony Of Harry’s Chosen One Prophecy
If my theory about only the overlord of Death being capable to unite the Deathly Hallows is correct , it would be awfully ironic . It means that , despite their best attempt , Dumbledore and Grindelwald could never have succeeded in their pursuance , and neither could any of the other witch and adept who died for a chance at immortality over the centuries . The very fact that they were seek a opportunity to live constantly unfit them from claiming the Hallows , and fate would have always found a direction to stop it from take place — an example of this beingDumbledore being anathemize by the Resurrection Stone .
Voldemort had grow the Resurrection Stone into a Horcrux , though he never make out the true nature of the Peverell stone ring .
This fall decent in crease with the rest of the themes ofHarry Potter . The Chosen One prophecy was ironic as well since it was only because Voldemort heard it and acted on it that it came true . If the Dark Lord had n’t attacked Harry as a baby , a sherd of his soul would never have been transfer to the boy . If he had n’t used Harry ’s blood to make his torso , then the Chosen One ’s soul would n’t have been tethered to living . The yummy twists of portion and ironical plays of lot are what I find most likeable aboutHarry Potter , and the musical theme that the Deathly Hallows legend was in reality a vaticination fit justly in .

Could The Deathly Hallows Ever Be United Again?
Could Another Master Of Death Claim The Deathly Hallows?
I sleep together the idea that , thanks to fate and happenstance , Harry was the only mortal in the wizarding world who could have unite the Hallows . If it was n’t for Voldemort ’s efforts for unmatched business leader and Lily Potter ’s forfeit , Harry would n’t have become the Boy Who Lived and , therefore , passkey of Death . However , if opportunity work out this way for one person , it could practicably do it again . After all , in theHarry Potterbooks , all three Deathly Hallows still exist .
IfHarry Potterhas taught me anything , it ’s that destiny will always get hold a fashion , and these artifacts could resurface if the wizarding populace has a need for them .
At the end ofHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , Harry dropped the Resurrection Stone in the Forbidden Forest and put the Elder Wand back in Dumbledore ’s grave ( no , he did n’t break it ) . He only kept the Invisibility Cloak , and he hop all of this would be enough to keep anyone else from ever again using the more grievous Hallows . However , ifHarry Potterhas taught me anything , it ’s that destiny will always discover a way , and these artifacts could resurface if the wizarding existence has a need for them . However , I much prefer to think that , in the unexampled age of peace won by Harry ’s forfeit , the Hallows can forever lay dormant .
