Lord Voldemort's return, we are only as strong as we are united, as
weak as we are divided. Lord Voldemort's gift for spreading discord
and enmity is very great. We can fight it only by showing an equally
strong bond of friendship and trust."
So spoke Albus Dumbledore at the end of Harry Potter's fourth year at
Hogwarts. But as Harry enters his fifth year at wizard school, it
seems those bonds have never been more sorely tested. Lord
Voldemort's rise has opened a rift in the wizarding world between
those who believe the truth about his return, and those who prefer to
believe it's all madness and lies just more trouble from Harry
Potter.
Add this to a host of other worries for Harry
- A Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher with a personality like
poisoned honey
- A venomous, disgruntled house-elf
- Ron as keeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch team
- And of course, what every student dreads: end-of-term Ordinary
Wizarding Level exams
and you'd know what Harry faces during the day. But at night it's
even worse, because then he dreams of a single door in a silent
corridor. And this door is somehow more terrifying than every other
nightmare combined.
In the richest installment yet of J.K. Rowling's seven-part story,
Harry Potter confronts the unreliability of the very government of
the magical world, and the impotence of the authorities at Hogwarts.
Despite this (or perhaps because of it) Harry finds depth and
strength in his friends, beyond what even he knew; boundless loyalty,
and unbearable sacrifice.
Though thick runs the plot (as well as the spine), readers will race
through these pages, and leave Hogwarts, like Harry, wishing only for
the next train back.
