Summary

Colin Jacobs, an introverted bookworm, goes to Santa Leona, California, with his mother in the summer of 1980 and quickly meets and befriends another youngster his age. 

Colin aspires to be everything Roy Borden is not: courageous, gregarious, strong, athletically skilled, and a superb ladies' guy. 

In sharp contrast to Colin, who "learned long ago that opposition produces pain" and avoids difficulties and confrontations, he is an innate warrior, ready to face up to anybody or anything. 

Despite their differences, Roy appears to be happy to be friends with Colin, even adding that the lads and girls who think they are his friends are only acquaintances. 

Colin and Roy quickly become good friends, and Roy makes them blood brothers after a brief ceremony. 

Roy exhibits strange behavior, such as asking Colin whether he has ever murdered anything and referring to everything as fun as a popper, but Colin seems unconcerned.

Colin meets a lovely woman named Heather Lipschitz at a store one day, and he is both surprised and delighted to discover that the two are developing a romantic interest in one other. 

He doesn't tell Roy, but he believes that his friendship with Roy has improved his image and made ladies more interested in him. 

Roy continues to confide in Colin more, displaying a very pessimistic worldview as well as a fixation with sex, violence, and death. 

Colin dismisses it as a joke, despite the fact that Roy claims to have murdered two other lads who declined his offer to be blood brothers. He drives Colin to an abandoned home near a railroad line, where he has rigged up an old pickup vehicle to be pushed downhill, causing an incoming passenger train to crash. 

He approaches Colin for assistance, but Colin, realizing it was never a joke, tries to stop him. Roy pushes Colin aside and tries to drive the truck down to the tracks by himself, but it requires two people to keep it on track, and Roy shouts in wrath as the train passes by unhurt.

Roy attempts to murder Colin at the junkyard, but after nearly escaping, Colin discovers that no one believes him when he reveals who Roy is. Colin goes to Heather, and the two of them work together to discover the truth about Roy's hidden existence. They discover Roy is adopted and that when he was eight years old, he accidentally murdered his adoptive sister Belinda by getting behind the wheel of his adopted father's automobile while Belinda was playing behind it.

Mrs. Borden, who stepped outside just in time to witness it happen, was taken aback and repeatedly said, "Her tiny head...it just burst." 

Mrs. Borden, who has always been preoccupied with keeping her house pristine, severely beat Roy with a metal dustpan when he got home and tracked dirt into the house soon after. 

Both instances left Roy extremely traumatized, and he accepted the concept that he was a killer, and convinced himself over time that he did it all on purpose. 

Roy, lonely and anxious for a true friend, attempted to contact two guys before Colin, and Colin and Heather corroborate that the boys died when, where, and how Roy said.

Colin phones Roy and tells him that he has lady for both of them and Roy grudgingly agrees to meet him at an abandoned mansion on the outskirts of town so they may take turns raping her. 

Despite her apprehension of the scenario, Heather agrees to be the bait, and Colin makes it appear as though she was battered and then tied to a chair. 

Colin manages to hide the handgun he took from his mother's bedroom before Roy arrives. Colin pretends to see things Roy's way and wishes they could be blood brothers again. Roy first doesn't trust him but is surprised to see Heather there, exactly as Colin predicted. 

Colin acts to be willing to "share" her with Roy, impressing and delighting him. Roy exclaims that they are brothers once more, but Colin pulls out a gun and says he is arresting Roy. 

Roy knows he has been duped and attacks, leaving Colin completely outmatched in the battle. He manages to reclaim the gun and shoots Roy in the leg as they fight. 

Roy looks up as Colin prepares to shoot again, this time towards Roy's head, and his expression betrays something shocking: Roy is deeply sad and wishes to be put out of his agony. 

Colin resists the impulse to kill him and goes outside to contact the cops. As he does so, he understands that the "voice of the night" is within him as well, and he must fight the temptation to listen to it as Roy did.

Gwendy's Magic Feather Summary

Gwendy's Magic Feather

Published: 19, November 2019
Author: Richard Chizmar (Foreword by Stephen King)
Genre: American, Classic, Coming Of Age, Fiction, Horror, Magic, Supernatural, Thriller
Book 2 of 3: Gwendy's Button Box Trilogy

Check out the review of this book here:


Summary

When the button box shows unexpectedly at Gwendy Peterson's office in Washington, D.C., she is angry and terrified. 

It's been nearly 25 years since the box, with its dual powers of good and evil, first entered her life. Gwendy is a grownup coping with real-world issues. 

Two teenage girls have vanished without a trace in her hometown of Castle Rock. Her spouse is stationed on the Indonesian island of Timor, a place ripped apart by political strife. 

Gwendy is a congresswoman coping with a president that she and her constituents fear may launch a war with North Korea. 

The emergence of the box resurrects Gwendy's old anxiety that her success in life would be due to the box's enchantment rather than her own hard work.

Gwendy feels tempted to exploit the box's abilities to fix her issues. She is aware that if she presses the red button, the box will fulfill her every want. 

Gwendy may press the button to eliminate the insurgents in Timor, allowing her husband to return home. She may also use the box's power to assassinate the president and end the country's involvement in a conflict. 

Because Gwendy understands that each of these seemingly simple remedies has ramifications, she resists the urge to utilize the power of the box.

Meanwhile, Gwendy is assisting the Castle County Sheriff in the search for two girls who have gone missing in Castle Rock. 

Deborah Parker, a third girl, goes missing just after Christmas, while Gwendy is still at Castle Rock for the holidays. 

During the town's New Year's Eve party, Gwendy experiences an unusual experience. Gwendy falls on the ice on her way to her car but is saved by Lucas Browne, a young guy she met during the hunt for the missing girls. 

When Lucas touches Gwendy's hand, she sees him standing over the missing girl, which leads her to believe he is the kidnapper. 

Gwendy informs the sheriff that Lucas is the kidnapper based on her experience. Deborah is rescued when the Browne's home is searched. The bodies of the two other missing females have been discovered on the premises.

Gwendy sees Richard Farris, the guy who gave her the box when she was a youngster, at the airport on her way back to Washington for an early Congressional session. 

She asks him whether the vision she saw that resulted in Lucas' arrest originated from the box. 

Richard reveals that he doesn't comprehend all of the box's abilities, which makes Gwendy nervous. 

He informs her that she proved herself by resisting the desire to use the box to fix her difficulties. 

Most importantly, Richard tells her that her achievement is a result of her hard work and not because of the box.

Genre: American, Coming Of Age, Fiction, Horror, Literature, Psychic, Psychological, Survival, Suspense, Thriller

Check out the review of this book here:


Summary

A family hiking trip sets the story in motion, during which Trisha's brother, Pete, and mother constantly argue about their mother's divorce from their father, among other things. 

Trisha retreats to avoid listening and, as a result, is unable to locate her family after wandering off the trail to use the restroom. 

In an attempt to catch up, she slips and falls down a steep embankment and becomes hopelessly lost, heading deeper into the heart of the forest. 

She has a bottle of water, two Twinkies, a boiled egg, celery sticks, a tuna sandwich, a bottle of Surge, a poncho, a Game Boy, and a Walkman left to her. 

She listens to her Walkman to keep her spirits up, either to learn about the search for her or to hear a baseball game featuring her favorite player, and "heartthrob," Tom Gordon.

Trisha's family returns to their car without her and calls the police to begin a search as she begins to take steps to survive by conserving what little food she has with her while consuming edible flora. 

The rescuers look around the path, but not as far as Trisha has gone. Because of what she read in Little House on the Prairie, the girl decides to follow a creek (though it soon turns into a swamp-like river), reasoning that all bodies of water eventually lead to civilization.

As the cops stop looking for her, she huddles beneath a tree to rest. Trisha begins to hallucinate as a result of a combination of fear, hunger, and thirst. 

Several people from her past, as well as her hero, Tom Gordon, appear to her. It's unclear whether the increasingly visible signs of supernatural occurrences in the woods are also hallucinations.

Hours, and soon days, pass as Trisha wanders deeper into the woods. Trisha eventually comes to believe that she is on the verge of a confrontation with the God of the Lost, a wasp-faced evil entity on the hunt for her. 

Her trial becomes a test of a 9-year-old girl's ability to remain sane in the face of apparent death. 

She comes across a road while suffering from pneumonia and on the verge of death, but just as she discovers signs of civilization, she is confronted by a bear, which she interprets as the God of the Lost in disguise. 

Facing her fear, she realizes it's the bottom of the ninth inning and she needs to end the game. She takes a pitcher's stance and throws her Walkman like a baseball, hitting the bear in the face and startling it enough for it to back away. 

A hunter who comes across the fight between girl and beast scares the beast away and takes Trisha to safety, but Trisha knows she earned her rescue.

Trisha awakens in a hospital bed. Her divorced parents and older brother are waiting for her by her bedside. 

A nurse informs the girl's family that they must leave in order for Trisha to rest because "her numbers are up and we don't want that." 

Her father is the last one to depart. Trisha asks him to hand her a Red Sox hat (signed by Tom Gordon) before he leaves, and she points to the sky, just as Tom Gordon does when he ends a game.

It

Published: 15, September 1986
Author: Stephen King
Genre: American, Coming Of Age, Drama, Fiction, Horror, Literature, Media Tie-In, Shape Shifter, Supernatural, Suspense, Thriller, Werewolf

Check out the review of this book here:


Summary

The story is separated into two halves, each about 27 years apart. The first is from 1957 to 1958, while the second is from 1984 to 1985.

1957–1958
During a rainfall in Derry, Maine, a six-year-old child called Georgie Denbrough floats a paper boat across the streets until it is washed down a storm drain. 

Georgie comes upon a clown in the sewer who introduces himself as Pennywise the Dancing Clown. 

Pennywise tempts Georgie to reach into the drain and recover his boat, where the clown cuts off his arm and abandons him to die.

On the last day of school the following June, an overweight eleven-year-old kid called Ben Hanscom is bullied by a bully named Henry Bowers and his group, causing him to flee into the marshy wasteland known as the Barrens. 

Ben meets an asthmatic weirdo named Eddie Kaspbrak and Georgie's elder brother, "Stuttering Bill" Denbrough. 

The three lads subsequently become friends with fellow misfits Richie Tozier, Stanley "Stan" Uris, and Beverly Marsh, and call themselves "The Losers Club." 

As the summer progresses, the Losers face Pennywise in several terrible forms: a mummy on a frozen canal for Ben, a fountain of blood (that only children can see) from Beverly's sink, a rotting leper for Eddie, drowned corpses for Stan, and a horrible ghost of Georgie for Bill. 

Meanwhile, Bowers, who is becoming increasingly deranged and vicious, decides to focus his attention on his African-American neighbor Mike Hanlon and his father. 

Bowers murders Mike's dog and follows the scared child into the Barrens, where he helps the Losers in driving Bowers' group away in a rock fight, a humiliated Bowers swearing vengeance. 

After disclosing his personal brush with Pennywise in the shape of a flesh-eating bird, Mike joins the Losers Club. 

The Losers learn through Mike's history scrapbook that "It" is an ancient creature with a grip on the community. 

Following several encounters, the Losers build a homemade smoke hole that Richie and Mike use to imagine Its beginnings as an ancient extraterrestrial monster that arrived on Earth, commencing a cycle of feeding on youngsters for a year followed by a 27-year slumber.

Soon after, Eddie is taken to the hospital by Bowers and many of his friends, and Beverly watches one of the bullies, Patrick Hocksetter, being kidnapped by It in the guise of a swarm of flying leeches. 

The Losers uncover a letter from It in Patrick's blood, warning them that if they meddle, It would murder them. 

Ben fashions two silver slugs from a silver dollar in the hopes of wounding It, and the Losers enter an abandoned home where Eddie, Bill, and Richie had previously seen It to try to kill It. 

They wound It with silver when it is in the guise of a werewolf. It influences Bowers into slaying his abusive father and pursuing the Losers into the underground to kill them, where It kills two accompanying bullies, Victor "Vic" Criss and Reginald "Belch" Huggins, and Bowers becomes traumatized and stuck in the sewers.

Bill undertakes the "Ritual of Chüd" in the sewers in an effort to confront It in the Macroverse, the other dimension from which It comes, where he encounters the monster's counterpart Maturin, an ancient turtle who created the universe. 

Bill discovers that it can only be beaten via a fight of wills, and witnesses Its actual form, the "Deadlights," before defeating the monster with Maturin's assistance. 

The Losers are lost in the sewers after the battle, not knowing if they killed It or not until Beverly has sex with each of the lads to bring the gang back together. 

The losers then take a blood pledge to return to Derry if It reappears. Bowers is institutionalized after being implicated for the town's kid killings, having lost his mind by the time he washed out of the sewers into a neighboring river.


1984–1985
In July 1984, three teenagers savagely assault and hurl a young homosexual guy called Adrian Mellon from a bridge, where both a bully and Adrian's partner witness a clown appear. 

Adrian is discovered mangled, and the teens are apprehended and charged with his murder.

When a new spate of brutal child deaths occurs in Derry, an adult Mike Hanlon, now the town's librarian, contacts the six previous members of the Losers Club and reminds them of their childhood commitment to return if the crimes resume. 

Bill is now a wealthy horror writer living with his actress wife Audra; Beverly is a fashion designer married to an abusive guy called Tom Rogan; Eddie owns a limousine rental company and has married a hysterical codependent woman similar to his hypochondriac mother; Richie Tozier is a disc jockey; Stan Uris is a rich accountant, and Ben Hanscom is now slim and a successful but lonely architect. 

Prior to Mike's phone calls, the Losers had entirely forgotten about each other and the pain of their youth, burying the horror of their encounters with It. 

Except for Stan, who commits suicide in fear of encountering It again, all of the Losers agree to return to Derry.

The Losers gather for lunch, and Mike tells them that It wakes once every 27 years for 12–16 months at a time, feasting on youngsters before falling back asleep. 

The gang decides to put an end to It once and for all. Following Mike's advice, each participant explores different places of Derry in order to help retrieve their memories. 

Eddie, Richie, Beverly, and Ben are confronted with manifestations of It while investigating (Richie as a Paul Bunyan statue, Eddie as Belch Huggins and childhood acquaintances in leper and zombified forms, Ben as Dracula in the Derry Library, and Beverly as Hansel and Gretel's witch in her childhood house.). 

Bill locates "Silver," his boyhood bicycle, and delivers it to Mike's. Meanwhile, Audra, concerned about Bill, rushes to Derry; Tom comes, planning to murder Beverly; and Henry Bowers escapes from the mental institution with the assistance of It.

Henry approaches Mike in the library, but Mike manages to flee alive. It orders Henry to murder the other Losers, but Henry is killed when he attacks Eddie. 

It then appears to Tom and tells him to abduct Audra, transporting her to It's lair, where Audra becomes catatonic and Tom dies from shock. 

When Bill, Ben, Beverly, Richie, and Eddie find that Mike is approaching death, they understand they are about to face It again. 

They go into the sewers and utilize their collective might to "transfer energy" to a hospitalized Mike, who fights off an It-controlled nurse. 

When they get to Its lair, they discover that It has transformed into a massive spider. Through the Ritual of Chüd, Bill and Richie enter It's consciousness, but they become lost in It. 

Eddie injures It by putting his asthma medicine down Its throat, but It bites Eddie's arm off, killing him. 

It flees to care about its injuries, but Bill, Richie, and Ben pursue and discover that It has deposited eggs. 

Ben remains behind to destroy the eggs, as Bill and Richie make their way to their ultimate encounter with It. 

Bill fights his way inside Its body, locates and destroys Its heart. The party gathers to depart It's lair, and despite their best efforts to carry Audra and Eddie's corpses with them, they are forced to leave Eddie behind. 

They see that the wounds from their blood covenant have faded, signaling that their torment is finally done.

Simultaneously, the worst storm in Maine's history rolls over Derry, causing the downtown area to collapse. 

Mike comes to the conclusion that Derry has died. When the Losers return home, they eventually forget about It, Derry, and each other. 

Mike's recollection of the events of that summer, as well as any records he had previously written down, begins to vanish, much to his relief, and he contemplates starting a new life somewhere. 

Ben and Beverly depart as a couple, while Richie returns to California. Bill is the last to go from Derry. 

Before leaving, he takes Audra, who is still catatonic, on a ride on Silver, which wakes her from her coma, and they kiss.

Summary

Voldemort seized control of the Ministry of Magic after Dumbledore's death. Meanwhile, Harry is about to turn seventeen and will no longer be protected by his deceased mother. Members of the Order of the Phoenix relocate the Dursleys and plan to fly Harry to the Burrow using decoys. When they leave, they are attacked by Death Eaters, and "Mad-Eye" Moody and Hedwig are dead, while George Weasley is injured. Voldemort arrives to assassinate Harry, but Harry's wand defends him on its own.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione are getting ready to track down Voldemort's final four Horcruxes. Each receives a Golden Snitch from Dumbledore, a Deluminator from Ron, and "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" from Hermione. They are also handed the Sword of Godric Gryffindor, which has the ability to erase Horcruxes, but the Ministry bans them from using it. The Ministry falls to Voldemort during Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour's wedding, and Death Eaters attack the wedding banquet. The three flees to 12 Grimmauld Place, Sirius Black's ancestral house, which he has given to Harry.

Sirius's late brother, Regulus, took the Horcrux locket and concealed it in the home, they discover. Mundungus Fletcher later took it. House-elf Kreacher tracks down Fletcher, who claims Dolores Umbridge stole the locket. The trio infiltrates the Ministry and steals the locket from Umbridge, but their escape compromises Grimmauld Place. They take refuge in the woods, unable to destroy the locket and with no other leads. The sinister aspect of the locket upsets Ron, and he leaves the group.

Harry and Hermione discover Dumbledore's relationship with the wicked wizard Gellert Grindelwald. Nagini attacks them as they journey to Godric's Hollow, Harry's birthplace. They manage to flee, but Harry's wand is damaged. Patronus, a doe, leads Harry to a pond housing Gryffindor's sword one night. The locket around Harry's neck nearly kills him as he tries to reclaim it. Ron saves him and smashes the locket after being directed back by the Deluminator.

Hermione discovers a sign worn by Luna Lovegood's father, Xenophilius Lovegood, in Dumbledore's book. According to him, the sign depicts the fabled Deathly Hallows: the Elder Wand, an unbeatable wand; the Resurrection Stone, which can call the dead; and an impenetrable Invisibility Cloak. When Xenophilius begins to act suspiciously, the group realizes Luna has been kidnapped. In exchange for Luna's release, Xenophillius summons Death Eaters to capture them, but they escape. Voldemort, Harry deduces, is looking for the Elder Wand, which Dumbledore received after defeating Grindelwald. Harry deduces that his Invisibility Cloak is the third Hallow, and his Snitch holds the Resurrection Stone.

The group is apprehended and transported to Malfoy Manor. Bellatrix tortures Hermione because she believes they stole Gryffindor's sword from her Gringotts vault. They escape to Bill and Fleur's cottage with the assistance of Dobby the house-elf, along with other inmates, including the goblin Griphook. Bellatrix murders Dobby during the escape. Voldemort steals the Elder Wand from Dumbledore's grave, according to Harry's vision.

The group decides to break into Bellatrix's vault in the hopes of finding another Horcrux. They break in, take Hufflepuff's cup, and flee with Griphook's assistance, but Griphook steals Gryffindor's sword in the process. Voldemort is alerted of the robbery, and he decides to examine his Horcruxes, revealing the remaining ones to Harry: Nagini and one buried at Hogwarts.

The three arrive at Hogwarts with the assistance of Dumbledore's brother Aberforth. Voldemort launches an attack on Hogwarts after learning of Harry's location. Teachers and kids band together to defend the school. Ron and Hermione use basilisk fangs from the Chamber of Secrets to smash Hufflepuff's cup. Harry realizes Ravenclaw's diadem is the Horcrux. Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle attack the three as they search for the diadem in the Room of Requirement. Crabbe assaults them with a cursed fire but is unable to control it, killing him and destroying the diadem. Meanwhile, many people are slain as a result of Voldemort's attack, including Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, and Fred Weasley.

Voldemort believes the Elder Wand is not working as it should. Voldemort murders Snape because he believes Snape, who murdered Dumbledore, is its rightful master. As Snape dies, Harry comes, and Snape passes him memories to examine in the Pensieve. They disclose that Snape adored Harry's mother and worked as a double agent for Voldemort. He had kept an eye on the three, summoning the doe Patronus. It is also revealed that Dumbledore was dying as a result of his mismanagement of the ring Horcrux and that he had arranged his "death" at Snape's hands.

Harry also discovers that, unbeknownst to Voldemort, he is an inadvertent Horcrux who must die at Voldemort's hands to become mortal. Harry surrenders, directing Neville Longbottom to assassinate Nagini. On the journey, he uses Snitch's Resurrection Stone to reconcile with his parents and other departed loved ones. When he encounters Voldemort, he drops the stone, and Voldemort casts the Killing Curse on him.

Dumbledore greets Harry as he awakens in a dreamy place like King's Cross. He says that Voldemort's first Killing Curse left a piece of his soul in Harry, resulting in their bond. The most recent Killing Curse removed the soul piece, allowing Harry to resurrect or "go on." Harry resurrects and pretends to die. Voldemort declares a ceasefire and demands their surrender at Hogwarts. Neville, on the other hand, takes Gryffindor's sword from the Sorting Hat and murders Nagini.

Molly Weasley murders Bellatrix, and Harry reveals himself to Voldemort. He reveals that Elder Wand's fealty is transferred by defeating, rather than murdering, its former master. The Elder Wand's master had been Draco, not Snape, who had disarmed Dumbledore before Snape murdered him. Harry now wields the Elder Wand after disarming Draco at Malfoy Manor. Voldemort casts the Killing Curse on Harry, but the spell returns and kills Voldemort. Harry repairs his original wand with the Elder Wand before returning it to Dumbledore's grave. He maintains his Invisibility Cloak and abandons the Resurrection Stone. The wizarding world has returned to normalcy.


Epilogue

The Major characters are seeing their children go to Hogwarts 19 years later. James Sirius, Albus Severus, and Lily Luna are Harry and Ginny's three children. Rose and Hugo are Ron and Hermione's two children. Teddy Lupin, Harry's godson, is seen kissing Bill and Fleur's daughter Victoire, as Draco and his wife are sending off their son Scorpius. Albus is about to start his first year at Hogwarts and is concerned that he will be sent to Slytherin. Harry reassures him, reminding his son of Snape's courage and how the Sorting Hat might explain his wishes. Harry remarks that "everything is good" because his scar hasn't ached in 19 years.

Summary

Draco's mother, Narcissa Malfoy, and her sister, Bellatrix Lestrange, a Lord Voldemort supporter, meet with Severus Snape, a member of the Order of the Phoenix. Narcissa is concerned that her son will not be able to complete a mission that Voldemort has assigned to him. Snape swears to help Draco in an Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa.

Harry is collected by Dumbledore and escorted to the Burrow, the home of Harry's best friend Ron Weasley. They take a detour to the house of Horace Slughorn, a former Hogwarts Potions teacher, and Harry unknowingly assists Slughorn in persuading him to return to teaching.

Harry says he believes Draco is a Death Eater while riding the Hogwarts Express to Hogwarts. Draco brags to his pals about a duty Voldemort has set him, which Harry overhears. Draco captures Harry and petrifies him, fracturing his nose in the process. Nymphadora Tonks tracks Harry down, fixes his nose, and takes him to Hogwarts.

Snape will teach Defence Against the Dark Arts, while Slughorn will teach Potions, according to Dumbledore. Harry discovers an old potion book that previously belonged to "The Half-Blood Prince," a person who penned various spells and advice in the book. Harry does exceptionally well in Potions class, earning a bottle of Felix Felicis, sometimes known as "Liquid Luck." Hermione, on the other hand, is wary about the book.

Ron and Hermione get closer, but after learning about Hermione's history with Viktor Krum through his sister Ginny, Ron dates Lavender Brown, making Hermione envious. After a Gryffindor Quidditch triumph, Harry develops emotions for Ginny, and the two subsequently begin dating with Ron's blessing. Throughout the year, Draco becomes increasingly erratic, acting in increasingly dubious ways.

Meanwhile, Dumbledore and Harry utilize the Pensieve to analyze memories of individuals from Voldemort's history in order to aid Harry in his anticipated battle with Voldemort. Slughorn is seen chatting with a young Tom Riddle in one of the memories, but it has been changed, so Dumbledore orders Harry to retrieve the true memory from Slughorn.

Slughorn instructs Riddle about the procedure of dividing one's soul and concealing it in Horcruxes, making the user almost eternal, and Harry uses Felix Felicis to retrieve the memories. Six Horcruxes were made by Voldemort, and they must be destroyed in order for Voldemort to be eliminated. Tom Riddle's notebook from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, as well as a ring belonging to Voldemort's grandfather, has already been destroyed; four more remain.

Harry and Dumbledore travel to a cave at the end of the year to recover a Horcrux, Slytherin's locket. The locket is in the center of a lake, in a potion-filled basin. Dumbledore consumes the potion in order to obtain the locket, gravely weakening him. Harry and Dumbledore retrieve the locket and head to Hogwarts to locate the Dark Mark above a school tower after fending off Inferi concealed in the lake.

They reach the top of the tower and are confronted by Draco, who explains that his objective is to assassinate Dumbledore and that he assisted Death Eaters in gaining access to Hogwarts. Draco, on the other hand, is powerless to hurt Dumbledore. When Snape comes, he murders Dumbledore. Harry chases Snape, ignoring the conflict unfolding within Hogwarts, but is vanquished by him. Snape announces that he is the Half-Blood Prince before fleeing.

To protect Ginny, Harry breaks up with her after Dumbledore's funeral. He realizes the locket is a forgery, with a message from "R. A. B." inside. Instead of returning to Hogwarts the next year, Harry proclaims his plan to seek for Horcruxes. Ron and Hermione have promised to follow him.

Summary

Dementors attack Harry Potter and his cousin Dudley over the summer. Harry is expelled from Hogwarts after being forced to magically fend them off, but his expulsion is postponed until a hearing at the Ministry of Magic. A trio of Order of the Phoenix wizards transport Harry to Number 12, Grimmauld Place, Sirius Black's boyhood home.

The Order, according to Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, is a secret organization directed by Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore and committed to defeating Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters. Voldemort is on the lookout for something he lacked previous to his downfall, according to Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny Weasley, and Fred and George Weasley. The Ministry, commanded by Cornelius Fudge, refuses to recognize Voldemort's reappearance and is waging a defamation campaign against Harry and Dumbledore. Dumbledore defends Harry during the hearing, and he is acquitted of all accusations.

Dolores Umbridge, a senior Ministry official, is appointed as the new Defense against the Dark Arts instructor at Hogwarts. She argues with Harry over Voldemort's reappearance and punishes him by having him draw lines with a pen that magically carves "I must not speak falsehoods" onto the back of his hand. When she refuses to teach Harry, Ron, and Hermione defensive magic, they start their own Defense organization with the support of other pupils. As the new High Inquisitor, Umbridge is given the authority by the Ministry to intervene at Hogwarts, and she bans unregistered clubs, forcing Dumbledore's Army to assemble in secret to practice under Harry's instruction in the Room of Requisition

Harry sees Voldemort's serpent Nagini violently assaulting Arthur Weasley one night. Arthur is rescued when Harry alerts Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore. Professor Snape, a member of the Order, is assigned to instruct Harry Occlumency in order to protect his mind from Voldemort's invasions. Dumbledore's Army is finally discovered by Umbridge, and in order to avoid Harry's expulsion, Dumbledore assumes command of the organization and flees into hiding. Umbridge is appointed Headmistress, although she is denied access to Dumbledore's former office.

Harry's Occlumency classes are a disaster. Snape is summoned away during one session, leaving Harry alone with the Pensieve. Snape's recollection of his father, James Potter, and Sirius Black abusing and humiliating Snape at school is shown in it. Snape catches Harry and abruptly terminates the session. During examinations, Harry gets a vision of Sirius being tortured by Voldemort in the Department of Mysteries, and Harry makes no more attempt to safeguard his thoughts. To contact Grimmauld Place, Harry utilizes the floo network in Umbridge's fireplace. Sirius' house-elf, Kreacher, believes he has left.

Umbridge apprehends Harry and demands that Snape interview him using Veritaserum, which he says he no longer has. Harry informs Snape about Sirius in a sneaky manner, which Snape swears he doesn't comprehend. Umbridge admits that she orchestrated the Dementor attack on Harry, and she chooses to use the Cruciatus Curse to interrogate him. Hermione steps in and persuades Umbridge that Dumbledore's secret weapon is hidden somewhere in the Forbidden Forest. She is led into the domain of the centaurs by Harry and Hermione. They kidnap Umbridge after she irritates them.

Harry and Hermione manage to get away from the centaurs. They are joined by Luna, Ron, Ginny, and Neville, and they fly to the Ministry on Thestrals to save Sirius. In the Department of Mysteries, they can't find him, but they do find a glass sphere with Harry's and Voldemort's names on it. Death Eaters headed by Lucius Malfoy assault them, revealing that Harry was duped into coming here with a phony vision in order to get the sphere, which is exactly what Voldemort is looking for - a recording of a prophecy about Harry and Voldemort.

Members of the Order of the Phoenix arrive and fight the Death Eaters. During the battle, Neville breaks the prophecy by mistake, and Bellatrix Lestrange murders Sirius. Harry pursues her, but he is no match for her. Voldemort arrives to assassinate Harry, but Dumbledore enters and battles Voldemort to a draw. In an effort to persuade Dumbledore to kill Harry, Voldemort takes control of Harry, but Harry fights back, forcing Voldemort out just before Fudge arrives. Fudge acknowledges the truth after seeing Voldemort.

Dumbledore says in his office that Snape had recognized Harry's warning and contacted the Order. Dumbledore also mentions that Kreacher informed Lucius' wife, Narcissa, of Harry and Sirius' friendship, which Voldemort exploited. Dumbledore also informs that Harry is safe from Voldemort with the Dursleys, as Petunia, Lily's sister, seals Harry's mother's protection by taking him in.

Dumbledore also exposes the details of the prophecy, which predicted the birth of a person who would be able to vanquish Voldemort. Part of the prophecy was overheard by one of Voldemort's servants, who notified Voldemort, who subsequently attempted to kill the newborn Harry. The rest of the prophecy, which Voldemort missed, said that Voldemort would treat his opponent as an equal and that one of them would finally murder the other.

Harry becomes morose as a result of the prophecy and the loss of Sirius, despite the fact that the wizarding society now holds him in high regard. Harry returns to the Dursleys, spurred on by his cronies.

Summary

Frank Bryce, the Muggle keeper of an abandoned home called the Riddle House, is slain by Lord Voldemort after stumbling upon him and Wormtail in a prologue that Harry sees via a dream. The agony in Harry's scar wakes him up.

Harry and Hermione Granger are invited to the Quidditch World Cup by the Weasleys, and they travel there using a Portkey. Masked Death Eaters, disciples of Voldemort, invade the camping site after the match. The Dark Mark is launched into the sky, sparking terror among the population. Harry learns that his wand has vanished. It was subsequently discovered in Winky's hands, Barty Crouch's house elf, and was used to cast the Dark Mark. Winky is shot by Barty Crouch.

Professor Dumbledore names Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody as the next Defence Against the Dark Arts instructor at Hogwarts. Dumbledore also reveals that the Triwizard Tournament would be held at Hogwarts, with a Hogwarts champion competing against champions from other wizarding schools. The champions will be chosen from a list of names placed into the Goblet of Fire. Only students aged 17 and over are eligible to participate. Harry is not allowed to enter the wizarding realm since he is under the age of majority.

Fleur Delacour of Beauxbatons Academy, Viktor Krum of Durmstrang Institute, and Cedric Diggory of Hogwarts are chosen in The Goblet of Fire. Harry is unexpectedly chosen as the fourth champion, forcing him to battle. Many students, including Ron, feel Harry cheated to get into the competition only for the sake of fame. Between Harry and Ron, a schism arises.

Hagrid informs Harry that the first assignment entails overcoming a dragon and acquiring a golden egg in a secret manner. Harry is stumped as to how to do it until Moody recommends flying. Hermione assists him in the development of a Summoning Charm, which he uses to summon his Firebolt broomstick and fly past the dragon to grab the egg. The egg offers a hint for the next assignment, but it shrieks when opened. Following Cedric's advice, Harry learns that he must rescue something priceless from the Merpeople at the bottom of the castle's lake.

Harry conducts minimal preparation in the weeks leading up to the second challenge and has no idea how to survive underwater. Dobby, who now works at Hogwarts, provides him Gillyweed to breathe underwater on the day of the job after hearing about it from Moody. At the bottom of the water, Harry comes across Ron. He, on the other hand, refuses to abandon the other "hostages." Krum rescues Hermione, but when Fleur fails to show up, Harry abducts Gabrielle, Hermione's sister. Harry comes in last place but receives great scores for moral fiber.

Harry and Krum run into Crouch, who hasn't shown up for work while discussing near the Forbidden Forest. He pretends to have done something dreadful and asks Dumbledore to help him. Harry leaves Krum with Crouch to get Dumbledore, but when he returns, Krum is startled and Crouch has vanished. Moody looks for Crouch but is unsuccessful. Later on, Harry has a dream about Voldemort punishing Wormtail for making a mistake. Harry goes to Dumbledore to inform him of the situation. He discovers a Pensieve in Dumbledore's office while waiting. With it, he learns that Crouch's son, Barty Jr., was a Death Eater who was imprisoned in Azkaban and presumably perished there.

Harry prepares for the last challenge, which involves navigating a hedge labyrinth full of perilous obstacles in order to reach the Triwizard Cup in the center. Harry and Cedric approach the Cup inside the maze and agree to touch it at the same time. It is, however, a Portkey that takes them to a cemetery. Wormtail arrives there, assassinates Cedric on Voldemort's instructions, and conducts a ceremony with Harry in an attempt to resurrect Lord Voldemort.

Voldemort calls his Death Eaters, chastises them for thinking he's dead and reveals that he has a servant at Hogwarts who has guided Harry there. Harry is tortured before he is challenged to a duel. When he and Harry cast charms at each other, however, their wands' streams join because they share a core, allowing echoes of Voldemort's prior spells to materialize, including Cedric and Harry's parents. These echoes assist Harry in escaping to the Cup with Cedric's body and returning to Hogwarts.

In the midst of the chaos produced by Harry's unexpected arrival, Moody transports Harry to his office. He exposes himself to be Voldemort's servant, having placed Harry's name in the Goblet of Fire and accompanied him throughout the competition to ensure he touched the Cup. Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Snape intercede and paralyze Moody as he prepares to murder Harry. Through the use of Polyjuice Potion, Moody is discovered to be impersonated by Barty Crouch Jr., Crouch Srassumed’s deceased son. Crouch Sr. had saved his son to fulfill his dying wife's request, according to Veritaserum.

Crouch Jr. was confined at home until Winky persuaded Crouch Sr. to let him go to the Quidditch Cup, where he managed to escape, steal Harry's wand, and summon the Dark Mark. Crouch Jr. was found by Voldemort, who intended to put him at Hogwarts while kidnapping the real Moody. Wormtail imprisoned Crouch Sr., and when he fled to Hogwarts, Crouch Jr. murdered him.

Voldemort's return to Hogwarts is announced by Dumbledore. Many individuals, including Cornelius Fudge, Minister for Magic, refuse to believe it. Crouch Jr. receives the Dementor's Kiss, making him unable to testify against Voldemort's return. Dumbledore puts Voldemort's schemes into motion. Harry leaves his tournament winnings to Fred and George in order to open a joke business, and then returns to the Dursleys for the summer.

Summary

Harry Potter, now thirteen, endures another terrible summer with the Dursleys. An enraged Harry unintentionally inflates Aunt Marge after she taunts Harry and his departed parents. He flees Hogwarts, fearful of being expelled. Harry is being watched by an enormous black dog on a dark street. Harry staggers backward, making his wand erupt in sparkles. The Knight Bus, a vehicle that transports stranded wizards, appears out of nowhere.

Cornelius Fudge, the Minister for Magic, is waiting for Harry at the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley. Harry is not expelled, but he is requested to stay in Diagon Alley until the start of the school year. Harry meets up with his best pals Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger while he's there. Mr. Weasley warns Harry about the wizard Sirius Black, a convicted killer who has escaped Azkaban prison with the intention of murdering Harry.

The dementors, Azkaban's terrible guardians, board the Hogwarts Express train. As one approaches Harry, he reminisces about his parents' deaths before passing out. Remus Lupin, the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, uses a Patronus charm to fend off the beast. Professor Albus Dumbledore of Hogwarts says that dementors are scouring the school grounds in search of Black.

Professor Sybill Trelawney claims the dog-shaped apparition in Harry's tea leaves is the Grim, a spectral death omen, in Divination class. Later, she predicts that Voldemort's servant would return shortly. Harry sees a black dog near the pitch during a Quidditch play, then faints and falls off his broomstick as dementors approach. Harry is unharmed, but his broom is destroyed by the Whomping Willow. Professor Lupin then teaches Harry how to use the Patronus spell to guard off dementors.

The Marauder's Map, a magical chart constructed by four former Hogwarts students named only as "Moony," "Padfoot," "Wormtail," and "Prongs," is given to Harry by Fred and George Weasley. The map depicts every student at Hogwarts as well as seven hidden passages. Harry sneaks into Hogsmeade because he doesn't have guardian permission for school trips. Sirius Black betrayed the Potters to Voldemort and killed their buddy Peter Pettigrew, according to a discussion he overhears there. Black is also Harry's godfather. Black would subsequently break into Hogwarts twice, but Harry will remain unhurt each time.

In the meanwhile, Ron suspects Hermione's cat, Crookshanks, of murdering his missing pet rat Scabbers, putting their relationship to the test. When Harry receives an expensive Firebolt broomstick as an anonymous present, Hermione has it confiscated for examination, suspecting it was delivered by Black. Ron and Harry are enraged with Hermione, who is already overworked due to her overabundance of lessons. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Magic has sentenced Hagrid's hippogriff Buckbeak to death for injuring Draco Malfoy, who purposefully provoked the animal. As they leave Hagrid's hut, Harry, Ron, and Hermione appear to hear Buckbeak's execution. Hermione discovered Scabbers inside when she was there. Scabbers eludes Ron, who pursues him.

Ron is dragged down a tunnel beneath the Whomping Willow by the black dog. Harry and Hermione chase them into the Shrieking Shack, which is said to be haunted. Sirius Black, an unregistered animagus, is the dog. Lupin appears out of nowhere. Pettigrew's name appeared on the Marauder's Map, and Harry realized it was he who had betrayed the Potters, not Black. Lupin admits to being a werewolf, as Hermione believes.

The Marauder's Map was constructed by Lupin (Moony), Black (Padfoot), Pettigrew (Wormtail), and Harry's father, James Potter (Prongs) as students. To tame Lupin during his werewolf phases, the latter three covertly become animagi. Scabbers is Pettigrew in the form of a rat. He is Voldemort's servant who framed Black by faking his death. After learning that Pettigrew was still alive, Black was able to flee Azkaban.

To catch Black, Severus Snape comes. His bigotry stems from a long-held animosity against Sirius Black and James Potter for bullying him in school. Snape is knocked out by Harry, Ron, and Hermione at the same time. Pettigrew is ready to be executed by Lupin and Black, but Harry wants him transported to Azkaban. Lupin transforms into a werewolf when the full moon rises. He's forgotten about his Wolfsbane pill, which helps a werewolf to stay sane while transforming. Black fights him off in his dog shape. As dementors converge on Harry, Hermione, and Black, Pettigrew manages to flee. A strong Patronus is thrown by a faraway person, dispersing the dementors.

The captive Black's soul is ready to be sucked out by dementors. Dumbledore urges Harry and Hermione to save Black and Buckbeak by using Hermione's Time-Turner, a Ministry gadget she uses to attend several classes, to travel back in time and save them. They save Buckbeak and discover that dementors are assaulting their previous selves. Harry summons a Patronus in the shape of a deer, scattering the dementors. Buckbeak is ridden by Harry and Hermione to the tower, where they free Black, who flees on Buckbeak.

Enraged by Black's escape, Snape inadvertently reveals that Lupin is a werewolf, compelling him to retire. Black writes to Harry, claiming to have despatched the Firebolt and granting Harry permission to go on school excursions as his legal guardian.
