Harry Potter has never
played a sport while flying on a broomstick. He's never worn a Cloak of
Invisibility, befriended a giant, or helped hatch a dragon. All Harry
knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and
uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley. Harry's room is a tiny cupboard
under the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in ten years.
But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to a wonderful place he never dreamed existed. There he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic around every corner, but a great destiny that's been waiting for him... if Harry can survive the encounter.

The Dursleys were so
mean and hideous that summer that all Harry Potter wanted was to get
back to the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. But just as
he's packing his bags, Harry receives a warning from a strange, impish
creature named Dobby who says that if Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts,
disaster will strike.
And strike it does. For in Harry's second year at Hogwarts, fresh torments and horrors arise, including an outrageously stuck-up new professor, Gilderoy Lockheart, a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girl's bathroom, and the unwanted attentions of Ron Weasley's younger sister, Ginny.
But each of these seem minor annoyances when the real trouble beings, and someone--or something--starts turning Hogwarts students to stone. Could it be Draco Malfoy, a more poisonous rival than ever? Could it possibly be Hagrid, whose mysterious past is finally told? Or could it be the one everyone at Hogwarts most suspects...Harry Potter himself.

Harry Potter is lucky
to reach the age of thirteen, since he has already survived the
murderous attacks of the feared Dark Lord on more than one occasion. But
his hopes for a quiet term concentrating on Quidditch are dashed when a
maniacal mass-murderer escapes from Azkaban, pursued by the
soul-sucking Dementors who guard the prison. It's assumed that Hogwarts
is the safest place for Harry to be. But is it a coincidence that he can
feel eyes watching him in the dark, and should he be taking Professor
Trelawney's ghoulish predictions seriously?
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, potions to be brewed and
Divination lessons (sigh) to be attended. Harry is expecting these:
however, other quite unexpected events are already on the march ...
Harry Potter is due to
start his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. His
best friends Ron and Hermione have been very secretive all summer and he
is desperate to get back to school and find out what has been going on.
However, what Harry discovers is far more devastating than he could
ever have expected...
The war against Voldemort is not going well; even the Muggle governments are noticing. Ron scans the obituary pages of the Daily Prophet,
looking for familiar names. Dumbledore is absent from Hogwarts for long
stretches of time, and the Order of the Phoenix has already suffered
losses.
And yet, as with all wars, life goes on. Sixth-year students learn to Apparate—and lose a few eyebrows in the process. Teenagers flirt and fight and fall in love. Classes are never straightforward, though Harry receives some extraordinary help from the mysterious Half-Blood Prince.
So it's the home front that takes center stage in the multilayered sixth installment of the story of Harry Potter. Here at Hogwarts, Harry will search for the full and complex story of the boy who became Lord Voldemort—and thereby find what may be his only vulnerability.

Harry is waiting in
Privet Drive. The Order of the Phoenix is coming to escort him safely
away without Voldemort and his supporters knowing - if they can. But
what will Harry do then? How can he fulfill the momentous and seemingly
impossible task that Professor Dumbledore has left him?
