In the Deathly Hallows, Harry Potter is devastated by the death of his mentor and also angry at the limited information left to him by Dumbledore. He embarks with Ron and Hermione on a long, tortuous journey to find his enemy’s remaining Horcruxes so that Voldemort can be killed.
When Harry makes his last and best gesture to bravely surrender himself to Voldemort in order to end the battle of Hogwarts, everything he has worked for reaches a shining climax, allowing goodness to triumph at last.
