Por la cicatriz que tiene en la frente, sabemos que Harry Potter no es un niño como los demás, sino el héroe que venció a lord Voldemort, culpable de la muerte de sus padres. Desde entonces, a Harry no le queda más remedio que vivir con sus pesados tíos y su insoportable primo Dudley, todos ellos muggles, o sea, personas no magas. Igual que en las dos primeras partes de la serie, Harry aguarda con impaciencia el inicio del tercer curso en el Colegio Hogwarts de Magia. Tras haber cumplido los trece años, solo y lejos de sus amigos de Hogwarts, Harry se pelea con su bigotuda tía Marge, a la que convierte en globo, y debe huir en un autobús mágico. Mientras tanto, de la prisión de Azkaban se ha escapado un terrible villano, Sirius Black, un asesino en serie con poderes mágicos que fue cómplice de lord Voldemort y que parece dispuesto a borrar a Harry del mapa. Y por si esto fuera poco, Harry deberá enfrentarse también a unos terribles monstruos, los dementores, seres abominables capaces de robarles la felicidad a los magos y de eliminar todo recuerdo hermoso de aquellos que osan mirarlos. Lo que ninguno de estos malvados personajes sabe es que Harry, con la ayuda de sus fieles amigos Ron y Hermione, es capaz de todo ye mucho más.

Con dieciséis años cumplidos, Harry inicia el sexto curso en Hogwarts en medio de terribles acontecimientos que asolan Inglaterra. Elegido capitán del equipo de Quidditch, los entrenamientos, los exámenes y las chicas ocupan todo su tiempo, pero la tranquilidad dura poco. A pesar de los férreos controles de seguridad que protegen la escuela, dos alumnos son brutalmente atacados. Dumbledore sabe que se acerca el momento, anunciado por la Profecía, en que Harry y Voldemort se enfrentarán a muerte: «El único con poder para vencer al Señor Tenebroso se acerca... Uno de los dos debe morir a manos del otro, pues ninguno de los dos podrá vivir mientras siga el otro con vida.». El anciano director solicitará la ayuda de Harry y juntos emprenderán peligrosos viajes para intentar debilitar al enemigo, para lo cual el joven mago contará con la ayuda de un viejo libro de pociones perteneciente a un misterioso príncipe, alguien que se hace llamar Príncipe Mestizo.

Las tediosas vacaciones de verano en casa de sus tíos todavía no han acabado y Harry se encuentra más inquieto que nunca. Apenas ha tenido noticias de Ron y Hermione, y presiente que algo extraño está sucediendo en Hogwarts. En efecto, cuando por fin comienza otro curso en el famoso colegio de magia y hechicería, sus temores se vuelven realidad. El Ministerio de Magia niega que Voldemort haya regresado y ha iniciado una campaña de desprestigio contra Harry y Dumbledore, para lo cual ha asignado a la horrible profesora Dolores Umbridge la tarea de vigilar todos sus movimientos. Así pues, además de sentirse solo e incomprendido, Harry sospecha que Voldemort puede adivinar sus pensamientos, e intuye que el temible mago trata de apoderarse de un objeto secreto que le permitiría recuperar su poder destructivo.

Harry's second year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Old friends and new torments abound, including a spirit named Moaning Myrtle, an outrageously conceited professor, Gilderoy Lockheart, and a mysterious force that turns Hogwarts students to stone. číst celé

Harry Potter se ha quedado huérfano y vive en casa de sus abominables tíos y del insoportable primo Dudley. Harry se siente muy triste y solo, hasta que un buen día recibe una carta que cambiará su vida para siempre. En ella le comunican que ha sido aceptado como alumno en el colegio interno Hogwarts de magia y hechicería. A partir de ese momento, la suerte de Harry da un vuelco espectacular. En esa escuela tan especial aprenderá encantamientos, trucos fabulosos y tácticas de defensa contra las malas artes. Se convertirá en el campeón escolar de quidditch, especie de fútbol aéreo que se juega montado sobre escobas, y se hará un puñado de buenos amigos... aunque también algunos temibles enemigos. Pero sobre todo, conocerá los secretos que le permitirán cumplir con su destino. Pues, aunque no lo parezca a primera vista, Harry no es un chico común y corriente. ¡Es un verdadero mago!

El completo y oficial guion de "Animales Fantásticos: Los secretos de Dumbledore" de J.K. Rowling y Steve Kloves ofrece una mirada detrás de las cámaras y comentarios de los involucrados. El profesor Albus Dumbledore sabe que el poderoso mago oscuro Gellert Grindelwald busca apoderarse del mundo mágico. Al no poder detenerlo solo, encarga al magizoologista Newt Scamander la tarea de reunir un equipo de valientes magos, brujas y un audaz panadero muggle para una peligrosa misión. Juntos, se enfrentarán a viejas y nuevas criaturas mágicas y a la creciente legión de seguidores de Grindelwald.

Rowling y Steve Kloves, ofreciendo también material adicional emocionante que proporciona una visión del proceso creativo y comentarios de figuras clave como David Yates, David Heyman, Jude Law, Eddie Redmayne y Colleen Atwood.

Y cuando la tensión hace aflorar una serie de conflictos latentes que involucran a todo el pueblo ¿hijos contra padres, pobres contra ricos, mujeres contra maridos, alumnos contra maestros?, la pasión, la hipocresía y, especialmente, los secretos que suelen anidar en una comunidad pequeña desempeñarán un papel decisivo en el futuro de Pagford.

When Billy, a troubled young man, comes to private eye Cormoran Strike's office to ask for his help investigating a crime he thinks he witnessed as a child, Strike is left deeply unsettled.

During a decade, millions of ordinary people became the sole bearers of memories from the unfinished Harry Potter saga. They sought connections through friends, families, online forums, fan fiction, and podcasts to bridge the gaps between novels. The stakes were high, with character deaths generating more buzz than major sporting events, as the story of a boy wizard transformed reading forever. As the webmistress of the Leaky Cauldron, one of the most popular Harry Potter sites, Melissa Anelli experienced this whirlwind firsthand. She played a crucial role in helping Scholastic combat leaks and counterfeiters, hosted live PotterCasts at bookstores nationwide, toured with the wizard rock band Harry and the Potters, and even interviewed J.K. Rowling in Edinburgh. The Harry Potter series transcended mere sales records, reigniting a global sense of wonder and taking on a life of its own. Although the series has concluded, the narrative continues. With insights from Rowling's editors, agents, publicists, fans, and Rowling herself, Anelli embarks on a personal journey exploring every facet of the Harry Potter phenomenon—from its inception to its enduring influence on how we live and dream.
