Before Harry, Ron, and Hermione can begin their final year at Hogwarts, the wizarding world is turned upside-down by Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Everything is Harry's life has changed and he knows that he is the only one who can defeat Voldemort.
The three friends were given a task by Dumbledor - to find the Horcruxes that Voldemort split his soul into. He cannot be destroyed until they are or he will just find his way back into the world in the future. But Harry, Ron, and Hermione have to figure out where the Horcruxes are and then how to destroy them.
This conclusion to the Harry Potter series is a dark masterpiece. Rowling is on par with J.R.R. Tolkien for her mastery of the fantasy genre. Her world is true to itself and her overall storyline must have been created at the beginning to have so seamlessly come together. The Harry Potter series is one of the most well-written, most exciting series I have read. If you have only seen the movies you are missing out.
