It's the darkest year yet for Harry Potter‚ J. K. Rowling's hero in the Harry Potter series. In Rowling's fifth book Harry finds himself and Dumbdelore under scrutiny by the Ministry of Magic which refuses to alert the community and acknowledge the terrifying truth that Voldemort has returned. Harry's other challenges include: Hogwarts having a High Inquisitor; Facing an overwhelming course load as the fifth years prepare for their Ordinary Wizarding Levels examinations (O.W.L.s); Distressing changes in the Gryffindor Quidditch team lineup; Vivid dreams about long hallways and closed doors; Ever-increasing pain in his lightning-shaped scar.
Harry faces the difficult transition into adulthood‚ when adult heroes are revealed to be fallible‚ and matters that seemed black-and-white suddenly come out in shades of gray. Readers‚ on the other hand‚ will be thrilled and eagerly waiting for the next title in the spectacular‚ magical series.

Work Description
One summer night, when Dumbledore arrives at Privet Drive to collect Harry Potter, his wand hand is blackened and shriveled, but he will not reveal why.
Rumours and suspicion spread through the wizarding world – it feels as if even Hogwarts itself might be under threat.
Harry is convinced that Malfoy bears the Dark Mark: could there be a Death Eater amongst them?
He will need powerful magic and true friends as, with the help of Dumbledore, he investigates Voldemort’s darkest secrets.
