It is Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As Voldemort's sinister forces mass and a spirit of Gloom and fear sweep the land, it becomes more and more clear to Harry that he will soon have to confront his destiny. But is he up to the challenges ahead of him? In her darkest and most breathtaking adventure yet, J.K. Rowling skillfully begins to unravel the complex webs she has woven, as we discover more of the truth about Harry, Dumbledore, Snape, and, of course, He Who Must Not Be Named... "Fast, dark, exciting, and tightly plotted." Daily Mail. "A gripping story with its clues trailed through the text, chills, spills, and some excellent, new comic characters. There is a measure of sadness too... one of the elements of Rowling's writing that I think entitles her to a seat in the pantheon." Julian Fellowes, Sunday Telegraph. "Everything in the series starts to come of fruition... This ingenious setup is intriguing for aficionados who have been hungry to discover what happens next." Nicolette Jones, Sunday Times. "Taut, witty, effortlessly engaging, and very, very nasty. How we yearn for more." TLS.
