02Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets-It’s been another long summer at the

Dursley’s for Harry Potter. He can’t wait to get back to Hogwarts and is counting
down the days until he can return. He’s surprised when, on his birthday, a strange
elfish creature named Dobby shows up with dire warnings for Harry: He must not
return to Hogwarts! When Harry refuses to stay home from school, Dobby lands
him in heaps of trouble with the Dursley’s, who lock Harry up in his room and
refuse to let him out. Before Harry can sink too far into despair, however, Ron
Weasley and his two brothers, twins Fred and George, come to his rescue in a
flying car and spirit him back to their house, where Harry is thrilled to spend the
remainder of the summer. Thus starts an eventful second year for Harry Potter.
Between having to cope with more homework than ever, a Defense Against the
Dark Arts professor who is vain and convinced Harry is too, and a mysterious
voice he keeps hearing in the walls, Harry’s days are nothing if not interesting. As
the school year progresses, however, the mysterious voice Harry keeps hearing is
getting more and more menacing, and soon vicious attacks start happening to
the students of Hogwarts. When Harry discovers, quite by accident, that he is a
Parslemouth and can speak to snakes, he’s quickly singled out as Slytherin’s heir,
the person who, according to legend, will open the mysterious “Chamber of
Secrets” and release the monster within. Of course Harry has no idea who is
attacking the students, but he quickly resolves to find out who is responsible. He,
Ron, and Hermione come up with an elaborate plan to disguise themselves as
Slytherin students so they can question Draco Malfoy, whom they believe is the
one setting the monster loose in the school. The plan goes perfectly, but they’re
disappointed when they find out from Draco that he is not the one they’re
looking for. The quest gets personal when Hermione is attacked and petrified by
the monster. Ron and Harry are devastated, and are left on their own to uncover
the true identity of the person responsible. Events come to a head when Ron’s
sister, Ginny, is kidnapped and taken down into the Chamber of Secrets, and Ron
and Harry discover an important clue that Hermione left for them. They quickly
head down into the Chamber of Secrets to rescue Ginny. Harry and Ron get
separated once they’re down there and Harry is left to pursue the monster on his
own. He quickly finds Ginny, and thanks to some mysterious help from
Dumbledore and his pet phoenix, Fawkes, Harry is able to destroy Slytherin’s heir,
who turns out to be a younger version of Lord Voldemort. Voldemort had
possessed Ginny through an enchanted diary and was using her to set the
monster loose on the students. Harry and Ron are both hailed as heroes when
they make it back out with Ginny, and Harry can’t imagine a finer end to such an
eventful year when Hermione and the rest of the victims are healed and they win
.Gryffindor loads of House points
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows-Harry has finally come of age, and finally
started on his final journey to defeat Voldemort for good. The Dursely’s are
forced to go into hiding so that Voldemort’s Death Eaters will not torture them
for information, and Harry sets off with Ron and Hermione on a difficult quest to
find and destroy the last of Voldemort’s Horcruxes. Only once those have been
destroyed, Harry knows, can Voldemort truly be killed. It’s not easy. Harry is
plagued with rumors of Dumbledore’s past, and begins to wonder if the
Headmaster he so long revered might have had a much darker past than he ever
let on. The three are frequently without food, and with winter coming their
journey is no day at the beach. Because of their lack of plan, lack of food, and lack
of progress, their spirits are often low, and Ron especially becomes
argumentative. One night he and Harry get into an epic fight and Ron leaves to
go back home. Harry and Hermione are devastated that he’d abandoned them.
They finally decide to revisit Godric’s Hollow in search of clues, and once again
they’re almost caught by Voldemort. Every step they make, it seems, he is there
anticipating them. They’ve almost died too many times to count, and their spirits
sink even lower when Harry discovers his wand was broken in the battle. Ron
redeems himself a few weeks later by coming back and saving Harry’s life in the
nick of time. They manage to destroy another Horcrux with Gryffindor’s sword,
and they become excited again as they begin to learn about a mysterious trio of
magical objects called the Deathly Hallows. Whomever possesses the three
objects will be a master of death, and to Harry, it’s his one chance to beat
Voldemort and live to tell the tale. As his adventures and the danger he’s in
increases, Harry begins to truly understand what Dumbledore intended him to do.
He realizes, almost at the last minute, that his own life will have to be sacrificed in
order for Voldemort to truly be vanquished. Filled with love for his friends, he
willingly gives his life so that they may live. His last act of heroism, however, saves
his life. He meets Dumbledore again in death, and Dumbledore answers many of
his questions. He is given a choice to stay or to go back, and he chooses to go
back and fight. It’s all over between Harry and Voldemort with just one spell.
Harry is left alive, the true master of the Hallows, and Voldemort is killed for
good. He now understands more than he ever has about love (which he loves
Ginny), and life, and sacrifice, and in spite of the loss of many of his friends during
the last battle, is grateful for the second chance he’s been given at life, and love.
6Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince-Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts opens to
find him more mellow and grown up than ever. The death of Sirius Black has left
an indelible mark on him, and he's more determined than ever to put an end to
Voldemort and his Death Eaters. He's happy to escape the tyranny of the
Dursley's early in the summer when Dumbledore picks him up to attend to a
mysterious errand, which ends up in Harry's persuading ex-professor, Horace
Slughorn, to come out of retirement to teach at Hogwarts again. When the day
finally arrives, Harry is as usual overjoyed to be back at school. He's been made
Quidditch Team Captain. However, Harry and his friends are dismayed to find out
that Professor Severus Snape has finally achieved his burning desire to become
Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Harry is excited to be taking private
lessons with Dumbledore this year, who is showing him all about Voldemort's
past. Dumbledore hopes that knowing as much as he can about Voldemort will
help Harry in his final battle with the Dark Lord. A mysterious book previously
owned by the Half-Blood Prince comes into Harry's hands early on during his
Potions class and changes the course of his school year by giving him a
reputation for Potions brilliance that baffles everyone. Harry quickly grows to
depend on the information he gets from the Half-Blood Prince's book and uses
some of his spells outside of class, much to Hermione's displeasure. Harry also
keeps an increasingly close eye on Draco Malfoy. Convinced that Malfoy has
replaced his father as the head of the Death Eaters, Harry believes Malfoy is
constructing a dark plot inside the school but can't for the life of him figure out
what it is. Between Ron and Hermione's skepticism, and Malfoy's disappearances
from the school grounds, Harry has his hands full trying to uncover what Malfoy's
up to. As the year speeds by, Harry and Ron are both amazed at their blossoming
love lives. Harry especially falls hard for someone he knows he shouldn't, his best
friend Ron's sister, Ginny. His lessons with Dumbledore continue sporadically, and
he's excited to hear that he might be able to go with Dumbledore on a
dangerous mission to help destroy a horcrux that contains a part of Voldemort's
soul. Things reach a frantic pace when several things happen all at once. Harry
and Dumbledore leave on their mission, Malfoy's dark plot finally works and he is
able to sneak in Death Eaters to attack the school, and a fierce battle takes place
between the students, members of the Order of the Phoenix, and the Death
Eaters. Having succeeded in their mission to recover the horcrux, Harry and
Dumbledore return only to get trapped on the Astronomy Tower where, to
Harry's dismay, Professor Snape kills Dumbledore. Dumbledore's death is a
terrible blow to Harry, but it enables him to see clearly what his true mission is.
He resolves that he will not return to Hogwarts, but instead sets off to destroy the
remaining fragments of Voldemort's soul. He is bolstered by Ron and Hermione's
insistence on going with him, and as soon as Dumbledore's funeral is over, they
agree to start their journey together.
05Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix-It's been another long, hot summer
at the Dursleys' for Harry Potter. Having spent most of it in an adolescent "funk"
of depression and bitterness over the lack of informative letters from his friends
about Voldemort's return, he's suddenly jolted out of his bad mood when two
Dementors show up in the town of Little Whinging and attack Harry and his
cousin, Dudley. When Harry uses magic to drive them off, however, he quickly
receives a succession of owls from the Ministry, requiring him to attend a
disciplinary hearing. His heart sinks when he reads that the question of whether
to expel him from Hogwarts will be decided at the hearing. Harry is exonerated at
the hearing but when Harry finally manages to make it back to school, he finds
things are different than when he left. Hagrid's missing, there are skeletal horses
pulling the school carriages that only he can see, and the new Defense Against
the Dark Arts teacher is none other than toadlike, repulsive Dolores Umbridge, a
Ministry representative whom Harry is all too familiar with. Even worse is the
constant mutterings of the other students. Having spent all summer discrediting
both Harry and Dumbledore, the Ministry has succeeded in convincing everyone
they're both crazy and that Voldemort's return is nothing but a figment of their
imagination. With only Ron and Hermione standing by his side, Harry is hard-
pressed to stay in a good mood and often lashes out at the ones he is closest to.
His defiant behavior lands him in detention for weeks at a time with Professor
Umbridge, who soon rises to the status of Hogwarts High Inquistor and revels in
sacking teachers and keeping the entire school under the control of her stubby,
ugly-ringed fingers. As the school year progresses Harry and Umbridge frequently
lock horns, and she retaliates by taking away everything he cares about:
Quidditch, letters from Sirius, and visits with Hagrid. So Harry fights back the only
way he can, by forming a secret defense group, known as Dumbledore's Army,
and teaching his friends how to fight properly. In spite of the frantic workload in
preparing for their OWLs (tests that determine the student's future career
choices), the tyranny of Umbridge, and Harry's unbearable crush on Ravenclaw
seeker, Cho Chang, Harry keeps having tantalizing dreams of dark corridors and
locked doors that are distracting at best. His scar prickles constantly and he soon
finds he's turned into a tiny antenna for Voldemort's mood swings, which
certainly doesn't help his own temper. Things take a disastrous turn when Dolores
Umbridge finds out about Harry's secret defense group. Harry is filled with guilt
when Dumbledore, claims credit for the group in order to protect Harry, and has
to flee the school to escape arrest. This installment ends with an epic battle of
good and evil, resulting in a devastating loss to Harry when his godfather Sirius
Black is killed, and the full revelation that his destiny lies intertwined with none
other than Voldemort himself. In the end, Dumbledore reveals the lost prophecy
to Harry: either Harry will kill Lord Voldemort or Voldemort will kill Harry.
04Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire-Harry can’t believe it. The Weasley’s have
invited him to the Quidditch World Cup, which means he’ll get to leave the
Dursley’s house early and go see a game that anyone would kill to see. The game
is intense, but not just because of the stellar players and non-stop action.
Voldemort’s servants, the Death Eaters, make an appearance and the wizarding
world is shocked when Voldemort’s sign appears in the sky after the game. When
Harry, Ron, and Hermione finally make it back to Hogwarts a few weeks later,
they’re shocked to find that the school is the host of the Triwizard Tournament
this year. That's a competition between the three wizarding schools of Hogwarts,
Durmstrang, and Beauxbatons. The goblet of fire choses one champion for each
school. There, they also learn, that there is an new teacher for the subject Defence
Against the Dark Arts. It´s Mad-Eye-Moody, an ex-auror. When the students from
the other schools arrive in October, the students begin putting their name in the
Goblet of Fire in order to be chosen at Halloween as their school's champion. The
champion of Hogwarts is Cedric Diggory, the champion of Durmstrang is Victor
Krum, a famous Quidditch-player and the champion of Beauxbatons is Fleur
Delacour. Harry is shocked beyond belief when, in spite of his inability to compete
because of his age, he’s chosen as the fourth school champion. What’s even
worse is that Ron doesn’t believe that Harry didn’t put his name in the goblet.
They get into a huge fight, and Ron stops talking to Harry. The rest of Hogwarts is
also incensed that Harry is "looking for more fame", and the only person who
stands by Harry’s side is Hermione. In the tournament, the champions must steal
a golden eye from a dragon. Harry accomplish this task and the hazard of the
fight against the dragon convinces Ron, that Harry had always told the truth and
he reconcile with him. As the school year progresses Harry is beset with troubles.
Snooping journalist, Rita Skeeter, continues to publish gossipy articles about
Harry that alienate him from the rest of the school, he’s turned down by his crush,
Cho Chang, when he asks her to the Yule Ball, and in the days leading up to the
second task of the tournament, which involves retrieving something important
from the bottom of a lake filled with mer-people, he almost doesn’t find a way to
accomplish what he’s got to do. Saved at the last minute, however, Harry again
gets almost full marks and is tied for first place. Sirius returns to keep an eye on
Harry, as well as the mysterious happenings that keep taking place at Hogwarts.
There is someone at the school who wants Harry dead, but no one knows who it
is. In the final task of the tournament, the champions are in a knot garden, they
need to look for the Winner´s Cup. The plants which build the maze caught
Cedric,the other champion of Hogwarts, but Harry helps him. Harry and Cedric
decide to be jointly the winner, so they put their hands on the winner´s cup, but
in this moment they are transported to a graveyard where Cedric is killed by
Wormtrail. Harry witnessed Voldemort’s return to power, and barely makes it
back to Hogwarts alive, clutching Cedric’s body. Back at Hogwarts, Professor
Moody comforts him, but then Harry discovers, that he is a traitor, who infiltrated
Hogwarts in order of Voldemort. He’s a Death Eater who transmuted his body
with Polyjuice Potion. Harry warns Dumbledore and the Minister of Magic,
Cornelius Fudge about the occurrence wit Voldemort, but only Dumbledore
believes him. He starts to arrange the defense for the return of the dark lord.
03Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban-Harry starts off his third year at
Hogwarts rather eventfully when he inadvertently blows up his Aunt Marge, goes
on the run, and is then personally absolved by the Minister of Magic himself. He
then learns that mass murderer, Sirius Black, is intent on killing him, and Mr.
Weasley makes him promise a strange thing, that no matter what he hears he
won’t go looking for Black. Confused, Harry agrees. As he heads back to school
armed with this knowledge, he learns that dementors, evil, soul-sucking creatures,
have been stationed around Hogwarts to protect the students from Black. The
dementors affect Harry much more than the other students because of his terrible
past, and he quickly resolves to learn to defend himself when he begins
collapsing every time they come near. He finds a willing teacher in Professor
Lupin, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, who begins teaching
Harry the Patronus Charm, which is the only spell that will work against the foul
creatures. As the school year progresses, the third year students are buried under
piles of homework. Hermione is already stressed out due to her enormous course
load, and none of them can figure out how she’s getting to all her classes. It
doesn’t help that Hermione’s cat, Crookshanks, repeatedly tries to eat Ron’s rat,
Scabbers, causing the two friends to argue ceaselessly about the animals. They
stop speaking entirely when it’s discovered that Crookshanks seems to have
eaten Scabbers and Ron is devastated. Harry has a few close calls with Black when
he breaks into the castle, but Black is not apprehended. Things come to a climax
as the school year ends when a number of events occur. First, Ron’s rat, Scabbers,
turns out to still be alive and is really a wizard in disguise. This wizard, Peter
Pettigrew, has chosen to hide himself in this way so that he can spy on Harry and
his friends on behalf of Lord Voldemort. Harry learns that it was Peter, and not
Sirius Black, that betrayed his parents to Voldemort. Just when Harry is sure Peter
is finally going to be punished for his crimes, he escapes into the night. Sirius,
long thought to be a mass murderer and Voldemort supporter, turns out to be
innocent. Harry also learns that Sirius is his godfather. He’s overjoyed when, for a
moment, he thinks he might be finally free of the Dursleys and able to live with
Sirius, but Sirius has to go on the run from the Ministry to avoid being
apprehended. Professor Lupin, Harry’s favorite teacher, ends up resigning his post
when it’s discovered that he’s a werewolf. He narrowly avoids attacking the kids,
and it’s Sirius that saves their lives when he turns into a huge shaggy dog to
protect them. It’s an action-packed year to be sure, but Harry is very happy that
Sirius makes it out safely and is finally free from Azkaban. He’s comforted by the
fact that he finally has a family-member, so to speak, out there watching over
him.
01Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone -<p>Harry Potter is the most miserable,
lonely boy you can imagine. He’s shunned by his relatives, the Dursley’s, that have
raised him since he was an infant. He’s forced to live in the cupboard under the
stairs, forced to wear his cousin Dudley’s hand-me-down clothes, and forced to
go to his neighbour’s house when the rest of the family is doing something fun.
Yes, he’s just about as miserable as you can get. Harry’s world gets turned upside
down on his 11th birthday, however. A giant, Hagrid, informs Harry that he’s
really a wizard, and will soon be attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry. Harry also learns that, in the wizarding world, he’s a hero. When he was
an infant, the evil Lord Voldemort killed his parents and then tried to kill Harry
too. What’s so amazing to everyone is that Harry survived, and allegedly
destroyed Voldemort in the process. When Harry hears all this, he doesn’t know
what to think. However, everything Hagrid tells him turns out to be true, and with
a joyful heart Harry starts wizarding school in September. He quickly becomes
best friends with a boy named Ron Weasley, and before they even make it to
Christmas, they break tons of school rules when they attack a troll and prevent it
from killing fellow student Hermione Granger. After the troll incident, the three
become inseparable, and Harry is amazed to have found such great friends. He is
constantly busy trying to stay on top of the mounds of homework, as well as
participating in weekly Quidditch practices. Quidditch is a popular sport among
wizards and Harry is the youngest Quidditch player in over a century. It's also a
game Harry loves more than anything else at school. As the year progresses, the
three friends set out to solve the mystery of the gigantic three-headed dog that is
guarding something in a deserted corridor in the school. They figure out that a
very valuable object, the Sorcerer’s Stone, is being hidden in the school, although
they don’t know why. When one of the professors starts acting as if he’s trying to
steal it, they quickly take action to circumvent the theft. Things come to a head
when they sneak past the vicious, three-headed dog and go down into the
bowels of the school, determined to save the stone. Ron and Hermione help
Harry get through the challenges set forth to stop the thief, but Harry must go on
alone to battle the professor. When he finally gets to the last room, however, he’s
astonished to find someone else entirely. Harry is forced to do battle with the
wizard that tried to kill him so many years before, Lord Voldemort. He’s able to
save the Sorcerer’s Stone, although he’s almost killed in process. The school
headmaster, Dumbledore, arrives just in time to save Harry. The school year ends
spectacularly. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are honored for their service to the
school, and Harry leaves to go back to the Dursley’s for the summer feeling as if
he’s finally found a place where he really belong
