Answer: Twilight

This story first appeared in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", the final book in the "Harry Potter" series. Three brothers manage to trick Death into giving them each a gift.

Answer: His son

The eldest brother got Death to give him an Elder wand. It does not bring him much luck, as his throat is cut a short time later. Death gives the second brother a Resurrection Stone, a stone that can bring the dead back to life. The second brother is driven mad by the Stone and eventually kills himself. Finally, Death gave the third brother his own Cloak of Invisibility.

The youngest brother is sensible and uses the Cloak wisely. It is eventually passed down to James Potter, and his son, Harry Potter. I hope you enjoyed my quiz!
