The Deathly Hallows

Characters inherit a story about three objects. A wand said to be unbeatable. A stone that calls to the dead. A cloak that hides its wearer thoroughly. A symbol of a triangle, a circle, and a line stands for the set.

People in the books disagree about the tale. History, metaphor, or bait: the text lets them argue. This journal treats the objects as things the plot actually uses, and treats the promise of mastering death as a legend the characters themselves do not settle cleanly.

That distinction — object versus slogan — is the whole entry.
