Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone - Harry Potter has never played a sport while flying on a broomstick. He's never worn a cloak of invisibility, befriended a giant, or helped hatch a dragon. All Harry knows is a misreable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley. Harry's room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in eleven years.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - Ever since Harry Potter had come home for the summer, the Dursleys had been so mean and hideous that all Harry wanted was to get back to Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. But just as he's packing his bags, Harry recieves a warning from a strange impish creature who says that if Harry returns to Hogwarts, disaster will strike.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 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 the heir apparent to the Dark Lord, Voldemort.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - Harry Potter is midway through both his training as a wizard and his coming of age. Harry wants to get away from the pernicious Dursleys and go to the International Quidditch Cup with Hermione, Ron and the Weasleys. He wants to dream about Cho Chang, his crush (and maybe more than dream). He wants to find out about the mysterious event that's supposed to take place at Hogwarts this year, an event in involving two other rival schools of magic, and a competitio that hasn't happened for hundreds of years.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix - 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?
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - The war against Voldemort isn't 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 streches of time, and the Ordero f the Pheonix has already suffered some losses. |
