Almost 10 years have passed since J.K. Rowling published the final novel in the Harry Potter series, but the tale still has fans guessing about possible hidden meanings.

One of the final threads in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows that ties everything together is "The Tale of the Three Brothers," which is part of The Tales of Beedle the Bard and tells the story of three wizard brothers who cheat Death using their magic. Death gives them "gifts" for their cleverness, which many in the wizarding world consider to be the Deathly Hallows: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone and the Cloak of Invisibility.
