THE CLOAK OF INVISIBILITY PART 3

.

Ten years later, Dumbledore gave Harry Potter the Cloak of Invisibility as a Christmas present anonymously and told him to "use it well." This would be one piece of advice that Harry would heed quite well over his school life and beyond, as the Cloak of Invisibility aided Harry on countless trips and missions, including his search for Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes. Harry learned the true nature of his own Invisibility Cloak and its true identity as the Cloak of Invisibility spoken of in the legend of the Deathly Hallows. As Ignotus' last remaining descendant, the Cloak was rightfully Harry's and was kept by him after Lord Voldemort's defeat. Harry resolved to pass it on to his own son one day, just as his ancestor Ignotus had done with his own son.
Harry's Cloak is especially powerful. It is resistant to jinxes, hexes, and other spells which would normally render such an Invisibility Cloak ineffective. For example, just before the Battle of Hogwarts while Harry, Ron, and Hermione were huddled under it, a Death Eater's summoning charm had no effect on
the Cloak of Invisibility.
