The Deluminator, also known as the Put-Outer, is a device created by Albus Dumbledore that can extinguish lights. While it is a significant object in the Harry Potter series, it is not considered one of the Deathly Hallows.

The Resurrection Stone is a magical object that allows the user to bring back the dead, although they only exist in a shadowy and insubstantial form. Cadmus sought to use the stone to bring back his deceased loved ones, but he soon realized that they were not truly alive and chose to join them in death instead. This choice ultimately led to the downfall of the Peverell family.

This is mentioned in the book "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" when Harry's broomstick is destroyed during a Quidditch match against Hufflepuff. Flitwick, who is the Charms professor at Hogwarts, is known for his expertise in repairing magical objects, so it makes sense that he would be the one to retrieve and possibly fix the broomstick.
