THERE IS A DOOR at the end of a silent corridor. And it's haunting Harry Potter's dreams. Why else would he be waking in the middle of the night, screaming in terror?
Here are just a few things on Harry's mind:
*A Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher with a personality like poisoned honey
*A venomous dusgruntled house elf
*Ron as the keeper of the Gryffindor Quiddich team
*The looming terror of the end-of-term Ordinary Wizarding Level exams
. . . and of course, the growing threat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. In the richest installment yet of J.K. Rowling's seven part story, Harry Potter is faced with the unreliability of the very government of the magical workd and the impotence of the authorities at Hogwarts.
Despite this (or perhaps because of it), he finds depth and strengh in his friends, beond the what even he knew; boundless loyalty; and unbearable sacrifice.
Through thick runs the plot (as well as the spine), readers will race through these pages and leave Hogwarts, like Harry, wishing for the next train back.
