Harry Potter is a wizard. He is in his second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Little does he know that this year will be just as eventful as the last …even getting there is an adventure in itself! The three firm friends, Harry, Ron and Hermione, are soon immersed in the daily round of Potions, Herbology, Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, and Quidditch. But then horrible and mysterious things start happening. Harry keeps hearing strange voices, sinister and dark messages appear, and then Ron’s sister Ginny disappears …The darker side of Hogwarts is revealed in this exciting sequel to “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”.
Harry Potter, along with his best friends, Ron and Hermione, is about to start his third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry can’t wait to get back to school after the summer holidays (who wouldn’t if they lived with the horrible Dursleys?). But when Harry gets to Hogwarts, the atmosphere is tense. There’s an escaped mass murderer on the loose, and the sinister prison guards of Azkaban have been called in to guard the school …The plot thickens and the dangers facing Harry multiply in this third thrilling installment from J.K. Rowling.
The summer holidays are dragging on and Harry Potter can’t wait for the start of the school year. It is his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and there are spells to be learnt and (unluckily) Potions and Divination lessons to be attended. But Harry needs to be on his guard at all times – his worst enemy is preparing a terrible fate for him. With characteristic wit, fast-paced humour and marvellous emotional depth, J.K. Rowling has proved herself yet again to be a master storyteller.
Harry Potter is due to start his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is desperate to get back to school and find out why his friends Ron and Hermione have been so secretive all summer. But before he even gets to school, Harry survives a terrifying encounter with two Dementors, attends a court hearing at the Ministry of Magic and is escorted on a night-time broomstick ride to the secret headquarters of a mysterious group called ‘The Order of the Phoenix’ …This is a gripping and electrifying novel, full of suspense, secrets, and – of course – magic.
Lord Voldemort is back, and he is gathering his followers. The Dark Lord’s power is increasing by the day, and Dumbledore wants to keep Harry Potter safe and give him all the knowledge necessary to fight Voldemort. This includes learning about Voldemort’s history, and the influences that made him turn to the dark arts. Meanwhile, Dumbledore appoints a new potions master at Hogwarts, and Professor Snape now teaches Defence Against Dark Arts. Harry Potter spends a lot of time with Dumbledore, exploring the memories of the headmaster and others who knew Voldemort, through the Pensieve, to learn of Voldemort’s past. Harry now excels at Potions class – thanks to an old textbook belonging to a former Hogwarts student, who calls himself the Half-Blood Prince. The book has many notes that can help Harry create the potions easily, with excellent results. Harry realizes that he likes Ginny, while Ron breaks up with Lavender Brown. In the middle of all this, Draco Malfoy seems to have a secret. A secret that seems to make him nervous and makes his mother fear for him. And the whole situation is fast heading towards a showdown that will cause big changes in the school and also in the lives of Harry Potter and his friends.
Harry Potter is preparing to leave the Dursleys and Privet Drive for the last time. But the future that awaits him is full of danger, not only for him, but for anyone close to him – and Harry has already lost so much. Only by destroying Voldemort’s remaining Horcruxes can Harry free himself and overcome the Dark Lord’s forces of evil. In this dramatic conclusion to the “Harry Potter series”, Harry must leave his most loyal friends behind, and in a final perilous journey find the strength and the will to face his terrifying destiny: a deadly confrontation that is his alone to fight. In this thrilling climax to the phenomenally bestselling series, J.K. Rowling reveals all to her eagerly waiting readers.
