The Deathly Hallows


“The Deathly Hallows are three highly powerful magical objects supposedly created by “Death” and given to each of three brothers in the Peverell family. They consisted of the Elder Wand, an immensely powerful wand that was considered unbeatable; the Resurrection Stone, a stone which could summon the spirits of the dead, and the Cloak Of Invisibility, which, as its name suggests, renders the user completely invisible”.According to the legend, the person who posses all these things, will become the ‘ Master Of Death’.”

Today, I will tell you about the unfamiliar story of the Deathly Hallows.

So hold your thestrals because here we go to explore the hidden story of the Deathly Hallows:

Hundreds of years ago, the three Peverell Brothers were travelling at twilight, and reached a river too dangerous to cross. The three brothers, being trained in the magical arts, simply waved their wands and created a bridge across the river. They were then stopped by “Death” himself, who felt cheated that they had gotten across the river, as most travellers drowned in it.

“Death” , a cunning liar, then pretended to congratulate them on being clever enough to evade him, and offered each of them a powerful magical item. The first brother, Anioch Peverell wished to have the most powerful wand out of his combative personality; Death broke a branch off a nearby elder tree and created for him the Elder Wand, a wand more powerful than any other in existence. The second brother, Cadmus Peverell , out of arrogance, wanted to humiliate Death even further, and wished to have the power to bring loved ones from the grave; Death then took a stone from the riverbed and created for him the Resurrection Stone, a stone capable of bringing the dead back to the living world. The third brother,Ignotus Peverell , who was a humble man, did not trust Death and asked to go on from the river without being followed by Death; Death then, unwillingly gave him his own Cloak of Invisibility, an invisibility cloak that never lost its power through curses or age. In time, the brothers went their separate ways.

Instead of being rewards for their cleverness, the Deathly Hallows were actually part of a cunning plan by Death to kill off the Peverells so he could take them for his own.

Antioch travelled to a wizarding village where he killed the man he once duelled with , he then boasted of the power of the Elder Wand , that it was unbeatable and in his possession, invoking envy amongst the many wanting to possess it for themselves. His throat was slit in his sleep by another wizard who stole the Elder Wand.

Cadmus travelled back home and used the Resurrection Stone to bring back the woman he loved , but was dismayed to find that it was only a pale imitation of her: the dead did not belong in the living world and could not truly be brought back. He found that she was cold, lifeless, and miserable in the land of the living, nothing like she used to be. In the end Cadmus committed suicide by hanging himself so he could truly join her.

Ignotus used the cloak to remain hidden from Death for a long time. When he was an old man, he passed the cloak onto his son, greeted Death as an old friend, and went with him to the next world.

The cloak continued to be passed down through the descendants of the Peverells (although the name became extinct in the male line). The wand passed from wizard to wizard, nearly always by the murder of its previous owner. The wand, during its passing from wizard to wizard, has been called "The Death Stick" and the "Wand of Destiny". On an interesting note, no witch is ever stated to have held possession of the wand. The stone was also passed down through the Peverells' descendants. It eventually ended up in the possession of the House Of Gaunt , and was later stolen by Tom Riddle, though neither Tom nor Marvolo Gaunt were aware of the powers of the stone, nor that it was a Hallow. Marvolo was solely concerned with the "noble origins" of the stone, made into a ring, and thought that the Hallows symbol on it was the family coat of arms. Lord Voldemort could not have been aware of the stone's true origin either, as he transformed the stone into a Horcrux.

In the next issue, I will be telling you,what is a Horcrux.

Meanwhile, do YOU believe in Horcruxes????

I hope I enlighten you with some Deathly Hallows news!

Potions

Potions are difficult to make. Only wizards can make potions and wand movement is important, otherwise the potion will not work, it will just taste very bad. Several potions make spells and charms more efficient, have effects impossible to achieve, like Felix Felicis.

To make a potion, you have to be patient, but the effects of potions are difficult to neutralize. Several potions are very dangerous due to a dark cachet.
