In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, how many relics exist?

In the seventh and final book of J.K. Rowling’s saga, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, three magical objects play a central role in the plot. These three relics are mentioned in an old wizarding tale, The Tale of the Three Brothers, and represent power, resurrection and protection.

The three Deathly Hallows are :

1. The Elder Wand: an extremely powerful wand, considered invincible, coveted by wizards for its immense power.
2. The Resurrection Stone: an object that brings the dead back to life, albeit in an imperfect form.
3. The invisibility cloak: makes its wearer completely invisible, even to wizards, and is passed down from generation to generation in the Harry Potter family.

According to legend, whoever possesses these three relics will become the Master of Death. In the last book, Harry discovers that he is in possession of one of the relics, the invisibility cloak, inherited from his father. The story of the relics is crucial to Harry’s quest to defeat Voldemort and save the wizarding world.
