>>(...)Harry Potter
confronts the unreliability of the very government of the magical
world, and the impotence of the authorities at Hogwarts as he enters
his fifth year of wizard school. 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."
Now, this doesn't seem to be much different from what I've read
before at first glance, but that last part gives me chills. And I
have to ask, impotence of the authorities at Hogwarts??? Where's
Dumbledore!!!??? <<

***Koticzka's comment: Checking up some details in GoF I reread Fudge words
about discussing with Dumbledore the way of leading the school by Dumbledore
(sorry for this style, I just do not want to be misunderstood!).
Conclusion: Dumbledore is fired. (I presume him to be killed in some other
messages, but firing is not that cruel and we need his voice of wisdom
desperately). McGonagall becomes Hedmistress. With all my
respect she does not make a brilliant impression - rather slow in decisions,
too carefull, a formalist - a perfect non-conscious pawn for ministerial
DE's siders. Poor Snape by the way. He is on the cover HP5 :) No doubts!

How can you hurt a man who has nothing?
Give him something broken.
