          The main conflict in the story Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is Voldemort's return to power, and Harry Potter's protective charm keeping him safe from Voldemort finally breaking at his 17th birthday (33). This is the conflict of the story and not just an important event is since it has been stressed throughout the 6 previous books. Harry has been protected by the charm from Voldemort, or else he'd be dead the day Voldemort returned to power. Plus Voldemort's return has caused quite an enormous threat to the universe Harry lives in. This problem effects mostly everyone in Harry's world since Harry is the only one able to stop Voldemort and without the protection charm, he has a huge disadvantage. And Voldemort causes huge problems since he kills anyone he pleases, muggles, wizards and witches, etc (34/35)  So far, Harry's reaction to the conflict is that he is fleeing from his Uncle's house and going under the protection of the Order of the Phoenix as well as Hogwarts's. This is definitely an external problem since Voldemort is killing people (external) and Harry's charm is breaking (external).
