Ending Explained

In "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," directed by David Yates, the climactic battle at Hogwarts reaches its peak. Harry Potter confronts Voldemort in a final showdown. The pivotal moment occurs when Harry learns that he is the final Horcrux, a piece of Voldemort's soul resides within him. He willingly sacrifices himself, allowing Voldemort to seemingly kill him. However, Harry is not truly dead; he awakens in a limbo-like state where he meets Dumbledore, who explains that Voldemort's curse destroyed the Horcrux within Harry, not Harry himself. Returning to the battle, Harry faces Voldemort once more. In the ensuing duel, the Elder Wand, which Voldemort wields, refuses to kill its true master—Harry. The wand's allegiance to Harry causes Voldemort's own curse to rebound, finally killing him. The film concludes with a flash-forward 19 years later, showing Harry, Hermione, and Ron as adults, sending their own children off to Hogwarts, symbolizing the enduring legacy of their friendship and the triumph of good over evil.
