In his [[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince|sixth year]], Harry is informed by [[Professor Dumbledore]] that Voldemort has been hiding objects of personal meaning that contain fragments of his soul (horcruxes) at locations that have meaning to him. They also find out that Dumbledore destroyed the ring horcrux leaving only four horcruxes left (actually five but it is not known at that time). These horcruxes must be destroyed if Voldemort is to be defeated. The year ended with the death of Dumbledore, giving the Dark Lord an advantage as the only one he had ever feared was gone.
In [[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]], Harry, Ron, and Hermione embark on a quest outside of Hogwarts to discover and destroy the five remaining horcruxes. The year ends with the [[4867 Hogwarts|Battle for Hogwarts]], which resulted in a final duel between Harry and Voldemort. Voldemort and his [[Death Eater]]s were defeated, bringing an end to their terror in the wizarding world.
He married [[Ginny Weasley|Ginny]] and has two boys and one girl (In birth order: James, Albus, and Lily) in the epilogue.
