The Deathly Hallows were three magical objects that contained great power. In the Tales of Beedle the Bard, it was said that the objects were created by Death themself. In fact, much of the wizarding community believed the Hallows to be nothing but a myth with no grounding in reality. The Peverell brothers were the original owners of the objects which were the Elder Wand, the Invisibility Cloak and the Resurrection Stone. It was said that whoever possessed all three of these objects would be the true master of Death.
