What are the Deathly Hallows and the story behind it?

Answer 1

The Deathly Hallows are a Elder Wand (The Deathstick, Wand of Destiny, Eldruhn Wand, Ellhorn Wand and Dumbledore's Wand), a Resurrection Stone and a Cloak of Invisibility.

The Triangle was the Cloak, The Circle was the Resurrection Stone and The Line was the Elder Wand.

The story of the Three Brothers was made by Beedle the Bard. Below:

"There were once three brothers who were travelling along a lonely, winding road at twilight. In time, the brothers reached a river too deep to wade through and too dangerous to swim across. However, these brothers were learned in the magical arts, and so they simply waved their wands and made a bridge appear across the treacherous water. They were halfway across when they found their path blocked by a hooded figure. And Death spoke to them. He felt cheated for travellers usually drowned in the waters. But Death was cunning. He pretended to congratulate the three brothers upon their magic, and said that each had earned a prize for having been clever enough to evade him.

So the oldest brother, who was a combative man, asked for a wan more powerful than any in existence: a wand that must always win duels for it owner, a want worthy of the wizard who had conquered death! So Death crossed to an Elder Tree on the banks of the river, fashioned a wand from a branch that hung there, and gave it to the oldest brother.

Then the second brother, who was an arrogant man, decided he wanted to humiliate Death further, and asked for the power to recall others from Death. So Death picked up a stone from the riverbank and gave it to the second brother, and told him the stone would have the power to bring back the dead.

And then Death asked the third and youngest brother what he would like. The youngest brother was a humble man asked for something that would enable him to go forth from that place without being followed by Death. And Death, reluctantly, handed over his own Cloak of Invisibility.

Then Death stood aside and allowed the three brothers to continue on their way, and they did so, talking with wonder of the adventure they had had, and admiring Death's gifts.

In due course the brothers separated, each for his own destination.

The first brother traveled on for a week r more, and reaching a distant village, sought out a fellow wizard with whom he had a quarrel. Naturally, with the Elder Wand as his weapon, he could not fail to win the duel that followed. Leaving his enemy dead upon the floor, the oldest brother proceeded to an inn. Drunk with the power of the Elder Wand he boasted that he was invincible.

That very night, another wizard crept upon the oldest brother as he lay, wine-sodden, upon his bed. The thief took the wand, and slit the oldest brother's throat for good measures. So Death took the first brother for his own.

Meanwhile, the second brother journeyed to his own home, where he lived alone. Here he took out the stone that had the power to recall the dead, and turned it thrice in his hand. To his amazement and delight, the figure of the girl he once hopes to marry, before her untimely death, appeared before him.

Yer she was sad and cold, separated from his as by a veil. Though she had returned to the mortal world, she did not truly belong there and suffered. Finally the second brother, driven mad with hopeless longing, killed himself so as to truly join her. So Death took the second brother.

But though Death searched for the third brother for many years, he was never able to find him. It was only when he attained a great age that the youngest brother finally shed the Cloak of Invisibility and gave it to his son. And then he greeted death as an old friend, and went with him gladly, and, as equals, they departed this life."
