The Deathly Hallows are three fictional magical objects that appear in the book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K Rowling, and which are referred to by the title.
The three objects are the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone and the Cloak of Invisibility.According to J.K. Rowling, the legend presented surrounding these objects is "perhaps" based upon Chaucer's The Pardoner's Tale.The symbol for these items appears as an equilateral triangle with an inscribed circle inside it, and a vertical line inside the triangle, going from the upper angle down through the circle. The triangle represents the Cloak of Invisibility, the circle represents the Stone of Resurrection, and the line represents the Elder Wand. The symbol is worn by wizards as so to reveal themselves to other believers of the legend of the Deathly Hallows. Because it was a symbol often used by Grindelwald, many believe it to be a symbol of Dark Magic. This, says Xenophilius Lovegood, father of Luna Lovegood and editor of the The Quibbler, is arrogance. It is also said that every letter in Voldemort's name fits into the symbol for the Deathly Hallows.

Noted wizards to have worn the symbol:

The Dark Wizard, Gellert Grindelwald, displayed the symbol during his reign of power.
Albus Dumbledore used the symbol in his signatures. The symbol replaced the "A" in "Albus". He refused to use this after he decided he was not meant to seek the Hallows
Xenophilius Lovegood wore the symbol as a means to declare himself a believer.
Noted locations and items to display the symbol:

The Tales of Beedle the Bard contains the symbol inscribed, by Albus Dumbledore, on the top page of The Tale of the Three Brothers which is the tale of how the Hallows came to be.
A wall in Durmstrang Institute, another wizarding school, was carved the symbol by Gellert Grindelwald.
The grave of Ignotus Peverell in Godric's Hollow bears the symbol.
In his will, Albus Dumbledore left Hermione Granger an ancient book entitled The Tales of Beedle the Bard.

The trio first encounters the symbol at the wedding of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour. Viktor Krum tells Harry that it is the sign of Grindelwald, when he sees Xenophilius Lovegood wearing it around his neck, a misunderstanding based on the fact that Grindelwald, like Lovegood, was a seeker of the Hallows.

When Hermione looks into the book, she finds an odd symbol inscribed on a certain page. Wanting to discover its meaning Harry Potter, Ron Weasly and Hermione Granger visit Xenophilius Lovegood. He tells them that it is the symbol of the Deathly Hallows. He asks them if they are familiar with The Tale of the Three Brothers. Hermione responds that the tale is in The Tales of Beedle the Bard and turns to the page that has the inscribed symbol.
The Elder Wand, known throughout history as the "Deathstick" and the "Wand of Destiny", is an extremely powerful magic wand made of elder wood. Supposedly, it is the most powerful wand in existence, and when used by its true master, he or she cannot be defeated in a duel. It also appears, as the wand is somewhat sentient, as are all wands, that it will not allow itself to cause real harm to its true Master. The wand's ownership, however, is a tricky matter. As stated by master wandmaker Mr. Ollivander, ownership can only be transferred properly. That is, the wand will only fully work for the new user if they disarm the previous user. This can occur during a duel (although because the Wand is very powerful, this scenario would be rare), or in non-magical ways (killing in Muggle fashion, etc).

Thus did Antioch Peverell meet his end—murdered in his sleep by a rival wanting to claim the wand. Ever since, the wand has been sought by power-hungry wizards until it subsequently fell to Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald, who stole it from famed wandmaker Gregorovitch. Gregorovitch boasted about how he possessed the elder wand,as it would boost his popularity as he tried to reverse engineer its secrets as he faced competition from Ollivander. Albus Dumbledore later defeated Grindelwald and became the wand's master.

With Dumbledore's agreement with Snape for his death (as revealed in the King's Cross chapter of Deathly Hallows) he meant Severus to "end up with the Elder Wand" (as Rowling wrote; it is not known the real intention of Dumbledore, however, as Harry tells Voldemort afterwards that Dumbledore's plans with Snape were supposed to bury the Wand's power with Dumbledore's death), however, as Draco Malfoy disarmed him, the plan failed and Draco became the wand's new master. After Dumbledore's death, the wand was placed inside his White Tomb. Voldemort opened it and claimed the wand as his own. Only later did he learn that he never mastered the wand because he did not gain ownership from its previous owner, whom he mistakenly believed was Snape, since he had been the one to kill Dumbledore, when in fact Draco Malfoy became the wand's master after he disarmed Dumbledore. By then, the wand's allegiance had been won by Harry when he disarmed Draco, even though Draco never had the Elder Wand itself in his possession.

Voldemort casts three curses on Harry, (two were the Killing Curse) but each lacked the desired effect. The first Killing Curse's failure, according to Dumbledore, is due to Lily Potter's self-sacrifice to protect Harry, at which point Harry became the unintentional Horcrux. The Elder Wand did destroy Voldemort's soul fragment inside Harry with the second killing curse (Voldemort could not kill Harry, but he could certainly destroy that part of himself). The Killing Curse knocked Harry into a death-like state for a few moments, in which in his mind he was given a choice to "move on" to the afterlife or return to the living world, and he chose the latter. Voldemort's Cruciatus Curse, used on Harry when Voldemort thought he was dead, caused no pain to Harry. In the final battle, the Elder Wand recognizes its true master, and when confronted with Harry's Expelliarmus charm, the Wand causes Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse to rebound and kill him.

Harry uses the Elder Wand to repair his damaged holly and phoenix feather wand (an act that the great wandmaker Mr. Ollivander believed improbable) according to what he knew - he mentions that wandlore is very ancient and complicated; and then intended to secretly return it to Dumbledore's tomb. Keeping it hidden from power-seeking enemies, Harry hopes he will die of natural causes without being defeated, so the wand's power will die with him.

J.K. Rowling revealed in an interview that one of the working titles for Deathly Hallows was Harry Potter and the Elder Wand.

the wand was created by antioch peverell, who boasted about it constantly until finally he was murdered and it was taken.

the book HPDH is vague about who it went to next; we do know that death is not necessary to attain the wand, you merely have to "defeat" the holder in battle (like expelliarmus, or however you spell it-that's how Draco defeated Dumbledore).

eventually the famed wand-maker Gregorovitch (think the Durmstrang version of Ollivander) ended up with the wand, and boasted about it (which seems to be the case of ALL its holders except dumbledore and harry).

Grindelwald (dumbledore's old friend and the voldemort of durmstrang territory) stole the wand from Gregorovitch, which i don't understand because he didn't "defeat" gregorovitch, but whatever, it happened.

dumbledore later battled grindelwald (presumably grindelwald only came to power BECAUSE of the wand) and became the owner of the elder wand.

incidentally, draco "defeated" dumbledore in HPHBP, and harry "defeated" draco in HPDH, becoming possessor of the wand. he declined, and buried it with dumbledore; should harry die of natural causes, the elder wand will remain useless to all, as he cannot be "defeated".

i'm sorry if that was over 1000 words (it probably is now) or if i left anything out. i assume that you've read the last book and know the signifigance of the wand and why harry, not voldemort is the true owner.

When Dumbledore was a teenager he became friends with Grinewald an evil sorcerer,who was kicked out of Durmstrang academy because of the cruel experiments he performed,Grinewald came to stay in Godrics Hollow close to the home of the Dumbledore family. Dumbledore's father was senteced to jail for torturing 3 muggles but Dumbledore's father had done this only after the 3 muggles had torture Dumbledore's younger sister. Dumbledore's sister was traumatised for the rest of her life.Meanwhile Albus and Grinewald were planning to become the masters of death.When Aberforth, Dumbledore's younger brother found out about this he tried to stop them Albus,Grinewald and Aberforth began dueling between themselves,they shot spells in every direction. One of the spells hit and killed Dumbledore's sister,Arianna,Grinewald fled Godrics Hollow after that. Grinewald went after the elder wand and stole it from the foreign wandmaker, Gregovitch, many years later Grinewald wanted to fight Dumbledore and to get Dumbledore's attention he tortured and killed. Dumbledore fought Grinewald and won making him the true owner of the wand of death.

D'dore's friend, very ambitious fellow, stole the wand from Gg'vich: D'dore in turn got the wand after defeating him in duel, when they had ideological differences and they were no more friends! That, in brief, is the story of how D'dore got the wand, called the Elder Wand!

I only wish every guy was as thoughtful as you. This is lovely indeed. I believe your words are worth way more than any picture....... With a pic everyone sees the person and everyone has different ideas of beauty (some may not think she is beautiful), with the words you write everyone forms a picture of beauty in their mind so all think she is beautiful.
