Harry Potter has never been the star of a Quidditch team, scoring points while riding a broom far above the ground. He knows no spells, has never helped to hatch a dragon, and has never worn a cloak of invisibility.

All he knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley—a great big swollen spoiled bully. Harry's room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in eleven years.

But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to an incredible place that Harry—and anyone who reads about him—will find unforgettable.

For it's there that he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic in everything from classes to meals, but a great destiny that's been waiting for him... if Harry can survive the encounter.

The Dursleys were so mean that 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 girls' bathroom, and the unwanted attentions of Ron Weasley's younger sister, Ginny.

But each of these seem minor annoyances when the real trouble begins, 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?

For twelve long years, the dread fortress of Azkaban held an infamous prisoner named Sirius Black. Convicted of killing thirteen people with a single curse, he was said to be the heir apparent to the Dark Lord, Voldemort.

Now he has escaped, leaving only two clues as to where he might be headed: Harry Potter's defeat of You-Know-Who was Black's downfall as well. And the Azkaban guards heard Black muttering in his sleep, "He's at Hogwarts... he's at Hogwarts."

Harry Potter isn't safe, not even within the walls of his magical school, surrounded by his friends. Because on top of it all, there may well be a traitor in their midst.

Back of Book: 

The war against Voldemort is not going well; even 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 in all wars, life goes on. Sixth-year students learn to Apparate—and lose a few eyebrows in the process. The Weasley twins expand their business. 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.

Have your friends ever pressured you into rereading book six of a series that you haven't read in over five years? Well my friends did, which is why you are getting a random review for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." 

Rereading this book reminded me of a couple things about the Harry Potter universe: Harry has quite the obsession with Draco, Severus Snape is a seriously complex character, and Ron and Hermione crush on each other in a way that paved a path for many a character in the literary world. 

"The Half-Blood Prince" is fun read due to the fact that it reads a bit like a telenovela, despite the fact that the story is getting ready to explode into a full on war. The drama between Potter and Malfoy comes to a climax, Harry can barely exchange three words with Dumbledore without screaming at him, and there are many moments that Ron and Hermione refuse to talk to each other (which isn't a surprise, but truly adds to the dramatic telling of this tale.) This is also the novel that works to show us more about the Dark Lord himself and what Harry must do to stop him. 

Overall, this has to be probably my third favorite book in the series, despite the little action that actually occurs relative to the page count. Despite this, it is fun to just see how friendships change, love develops, and how life goes on even in the darkest of moments. It was really a grand time rereading this book in a book club format, and I would totally recommend getting together with some of your friends and reading this series.

Readers beware. The brilliant, breathtaking conclusion to J.K. Rowling's spellbinding series is not for the faint of heart—such revelations, battles, and betrayals await in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows that no fan will make it to the end unscathed. Luckily, Rowling has prepped loyal readers for the end of her series by doling out increasingly dark and dangerous tales of magic and mystery, shot through with lessons about honor and contempt, love and loss, and right and wrong. Fear not, you will find no spoilers in our review—to tell the plot would ruin the journey, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is an odyssey the likes of which Rowling's fans have not yet seen, and are not likely to forget. But we would be remiss if we did not offer one small suggestion before you embark on your final adventure with Harry—bring plenty of tissues.

The heart of Book 7 is a hero's mission—not just in Harry's quest for the Horcruxes, but in his journey from boy to man—and Harry faces more danger than that found in all six books combined, from the direct threat of the Death Eaters and you-know-who, to the subtle perils of losing faith in himself. Attentive readers would do well to remember Dumbledore's warning about making the choice between "what is right and what is easy," and know that Rowling applies the same difficult principle to the conclusion of her series. While fans will find the answers to hotly speculated questions about Dumbledore, Snape, and you-know-who, it is a testament to Rowling's skill as a storyteller that even the most astute and careful reader will be taken by surprise.

Review: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I'm not going to say much about this one because it's the seventh book in a series and, come on, it's Harry Potter.

What I will say, is that I have really gained a newfound respect for this book rereading it as an adult with my book club. Rowling did indeed craft many masterful scenes throughout this book (even though many of them are quite predictable and others may have a couple of plot holes), which I couldn't appreciate as in depth when I read it as a young child years ago. The last around eight chapters are truly magnificent, and I'm so glad that I gave Harry another chance. He's still not my favorite, but man is there a bunch that can be gleaned from his story. The "Harry Potter" series truly is a coming of age saga, and Harry matures tenfold throughout the course of this book alone.

My two favorite parts about this book has to be the underdog elements present throughout Harry and the gang's quest (Go Neville!) and all of the Snape backstory presented to us. Snape is such a complex character and the devotion he shows for those he cares about is insane. If anyone is ever that devoted to be, I think my heart will actually implode. Also, young Severus melts my heart every time, even though he did have some stalkerish tendencies. If you love Snape as much as I do, make sure to check out this song by Beth Crowley called "Always." If you don't know what this means, finish "The Deathly Hallows!" Song Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSW37...

Overall, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" is a fantastic conclusion to a series that is beloved by many. I think it is healthier to read this book in small increments rather than trying to plow through the entire thing; at least, I found it more enjoyable reading it this way. "The Deathly Hallows" is filled with tragedy, heartbreak, and the fight against evil, but it is also a story of redemption, hope, and resilience in the darkest of times. I think that everyone should try to get around to reading it at some point due to all the beautiful moments that Rowling creates, but I also understand not wanting to read thousands of pages to get to them. To each their own, I guess.

It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband, and father of three school-age children.

While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son, Albus, must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: Sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.

The playscript for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was originally released as a "special rehearsal edition" alongside the opening of Jack Thorne’s play in London’s West End in summer 2016. Based on an original story by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany, and Jack Thorne, the play opened to rapturous reviews from theatergoers and critics alike, while the official playscript became an immediate global bestseller.

The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a wizarding classic, first came to Muggle readers' attention in the book known as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Now, thanks to Hermione Granger's new translation from the ancient runes, we present this stunning edition with an introduction, notes, and illustrations by J.K. Rowling, and extensive commentary by Albus Dumbledore.

Never before have Muggles been privy to these richly imaginative tales: "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot," "The Fountain of Fair Fortune," "The Warlock's Hairy Heart," "Babbitty Rabbitty and Her Cackling Stump," and of course "The Tale of the Three Brothers." But not only are they the equal of fairy tales we know and love, reading them gives new insight into the wizarding world.

At the end of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald was captured in New York with the help of Newt Scamander. But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escapes custody and sets about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings.

In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore enlists Newt, his former Hogwarts student, who agrees to help once again, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.

This second original screenplay from J.K. Rowling, illustrated with stunning line art from MinaLima, expands on earlier events that helped shape the wizarding world, with some surprising nods to the Harry Potter stories that will delight fans of both the books and films.
