    The "bestowed by the entity of Death itself " bit isn't necessarily literally true, see "Does personified Death really exist in Harry Potter?".

    @ifurini agreed, and that just adds to the legend. I'm familiar with he theory that the cloak was made by a wizard seeking to master death (i.e., true immortality) from the airs of thestrals, but I've seen no evidence to support this in the books.

    “one which isn't charmed and will wear out” You probably mean “one which isn't charmed and won’t wear out”. Commented Mar 15, 2021 at 13:18

    Isn't it heavily implied (or outright stated) in the books that Harry is a descendant of the Peverell family?
