Harry Potter received the Invisibility Cloak from Albus Dumbledore, who gave it to him anonymously as a Christmas present during his first year at Hogwarts. The cloak originally belonged to Harry's father, James Potter, who had lent it to Dumbledore shortly before James and Lily Potter were killed by Voldemort. Dumbledore kept the cloak for safekeeping and passed it on to Harry when he was old enough to use it responsibly
. The Invisibility Cloak itself is one of the legendary Deathly Hallows, created by Ignotus Peverell, an ancestor of Harry Potter. It was passed down through generations of the Peverell family and eventually came into the possession of James Potter, then to Harry, and later to Harry's son James Sirius Potter
. Dumbledore's interest in the cloak was tied to his lifelong fascination with the Deathly Hallows, which led him to examine the cloak closely when James lent it to him
