Master of Death
From Harry Potter Wiki
- Ron Weasley: "When you say 'master of Death' -"
- Xenophilius Lovegood: "Master. Conqueror. Vanquisher. Whichever term you prefer."
- — Xenophilius tells Harry, Ron, & Hermione about the Deathly Hallows[src]
The Master of Death is the one who possesses all three of the legendary Deathly Hallows. While it is generally assumed that becoming the master of Death refers to some form of immortality, the true Master of Death accepts the fact that death is inevitable, and that there are things worse than dying.[1]
- "You are the worthy possessor of the Hallows."
- —Albus Dumbledore to Harry Potter[src]
Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter are the only known people to have held each of the three Hallows, although neither possessed all three simultaneously. Dumbledore regarded Harry as the "true master of death", not because of the fact that he had united the Hallows, but for the reasons he had put them to use.[2]
