Summary

A group of people is pulled together by their various and equally bizarre illnesses. Dominick has somnambulism, Ginger has unexplained lapses into a fugue state, Father Brendan loses his faith and then has a supernatural 'gift,' and Ernie has nyctophobia.

Dominick receives Polaroids that lead him to the Tranquility Motel, which is located thirty miles west of Elko in the Nevada 'high desert.' 

They realize, along with Ned and Sandy, who owns the restaurant next door to the motel, that their genuine memories from the previous summer may have been buried. 

Ginger, Jorja, and the other guests at the Tranquility Motel are later contacted and offered to join the organization. 

Ginger reveals that Azrael Blocks, a form of brainwashing generated by medications and hypnosis, inhibit their memories. She underwent hypnosis as a treatment to determine the origin of her illness.

The 'community' of Tranquility is unaware that those behind the repression are observing them. 

Jack Twist has joined them (who was led to the Tranquility Motel by a series of postcards placed there by an insider). 

Finally, the gang devises a plan to discover the government secret concealed in the hills at the Thunder Hill Depository.

Summary

An unknown guy (later identified as Barton George Dawes) expresses his displeasure with a proposed highway expansion project during a man-on-the-street news interview in August 1972. 

The story then skips forward to November 1973, when Dawes visits a gun shop and buys two high-powered firearms: a .44 Magnum revolver and a hunting rifle chambered for .460 Weatherby Magnum ammo. 

The novel eventually discloses that Dawes' son Charlie died three years earlier of brain cancer and that Dawes stubbornly refuses or is unable to cut his emotional links to both the industrial laundry where he works and the house where Charlie grew up. 

As part of the proposal, the laundry and his entire neighborhood will be bulldozed. Dawes resigns from his middle management position at the laundry after undermining the acquisition of its new facility, and his wife Mary leaves him after learning of both of these activities, as well as his failure to find the pair a new home. 

In an effort to procure explosives, Dawes visits Salvatore "Sal" Magliore, the proprietor of a local used-car business with links to organized crime. 

Dawes assembles a cargo of Molotov cocktails and uses them to harm the highway construction equipment after Magliore rejects him as a madman. 

He is not apprehended, but his activities cause just a little hiccup in the project. Dawes first refuses to accept the city's eminent domain offer for the property but changes his mind after the city's attorney threatens to broadcast his short tryst with Olivia Brenner, a young hitchhiker who had previously taken refuge inside the house. 

Magliore inspects Dawes' home for listening devices put by the city and subsequently offers to sell him a cargo of explosives. 

Dawes donates half of the proceeds from the house sale to Mary, $5,000 to a homeless guy in a coffee shop, and has Magliore invest the majority of the remaining funds on Olivia's behalf after paying for the explosives.

Dawes wires the entire home with explosives and barricades himself inside in January 1974, with just hours before he is compelled to vacate the premises. 

When the cops approach to forcefully evict him, he fires at them, killing no one but causing them to seek shelter and garnering the media's attention. 

Dawes coerces the cops into allowing a reporter - the same one who interviewed him in 1972, though neither knows who the other is - to enter and talk with him. 

When the reporter leaves, Dawes throws his firearms out the window and detonates his explosives, destroying the home and killing himself.

A brief epilogue explains that the reporter and his colleagues were eventually awarded a Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of the tragedy, which revealed the truth about the expansion project: there was no legitimate purpose for it. 

If the city did not build a particular number of miles of road every year, it would be ineligible for federal funds for interstate building projects. 

The city discreetly prepared to sue Mary for her portion of the eminent domain settlement but withdrew the claim after public outrage.

Summary

Miss Taylor, Emma Woodhouse's former governess, has recently married Mr. Weston. Emma takes credit for their marriage after introducing them and thinks she enjoys matchmaking. Emma defies her sister's brother-in-law, Mr. Knightley, and pursues her new passion after going home to Hartfield with her father. She tries to pair Harriet Smith, her new acquaintance, with Mr. Elton, the town vicar.

Despite Harriet's liking for Robert Martin, a decent, educated, and well-spoken young farmer, Emma persuades her to decline his marriage proposal. Mr. Elton, a social climber, makes the mistake of thinking Emma loves him and proposes to her. He is enraged when Emma confesses she thought he was attached to Harriet since he considers Harriet to be socially inferior.

Mr. Elton travels to Bath after Emma rejects him and returns with a pompous, nouveau-riche wife, just as Mr. Knightley predicted. Harriet is crushed, and Emma is remorseful for deceiving her.

Mr. Weston's son, Frank Churchill, comes for a two-week visit and makes a lot of acquaintances. Frank was adopted by his affluent and controlling aunt and has only had a few chances to visit her. Mr. Knightley informs Emma that Frank has a superficial persona, despite being educated and entertaining.

Jane Fairfax also arrives to spend a few months with her aunt, Miss Bates, and grandmother, Mrs. Bates, before beginning a governess job owing to her family's financial predicament. Colonel Campbell, her father's friend, gave her a superb education when she was the same age as Emma.

Emma has kept herself apart from her because she admires Jane's brilliance and is irritated by everyone praising her, even Mrs. Weston and Mr. Knightley. Mrs. Elton, who is patronizing, takes Jane under her wing and promises to find her the ideal governess position before it is needed. Emma sympathizes with Jane's position.

Emma thinks that Jane and Colonel Campbell's new son-in-law, Mr. Dixon, are drawn to each other, which is why she arrived earlier than intended. She tells Frank, who met Jane and the Campbells at a vacation resort a year before, and he seems to agree with Emma.

Jane receives a piano from an unidentified source, which adds to her suspicions. Emma begins to fall in love with Frank, but it only lasts until his second visit. The Eltons are cruel to Harriet, culminating in Mr. Elton openly snubbing her at the Westons' gala in May. Mr. Knightley, who had hitherto avoided dancing, begs Harriet to dance gallantly.

Frank brings Harriet to Hartfield the day after the ball because she passed out following a nasty encounter with local gypsies. Harriet's thanks to Frank is misinterpreted by Emma as her love for him. Meanwhile, Mrs. Weston worries if Mr. Knightley has feelings for Jane, but Emma rejects the possibility.

Emma disagrees with Mr. Knightley when he thinks he sees a connection between Jane and Frank because Frank looks to be wooing her instead. Jane arrives late to a Donwell event in June, while Frank arrives late. The next day, Frank and Emma are joking about at Box Hill, a local picturesque area, when Emma casually attacks Miss Bates.

Emma feels embarrassed when Mr. Knightley chastises her for disrespecting Miss Bates. She sees Miss Bates the next day to make amends for her terrible behavior, impressing Mr. Knightley. Emma learns during the visit that Jane has taken a governess post from one of Mrs. Elton's friends. When Jane is unwell, she refuses to meet Emma or accept her presents.

Meanwhile, Frank has been visiting his aunt, who, unlike any other character in Austen's books, dies soon after his arrival. He and Jane had been secretly engaged since September, but Frank knew his aunt would be against the union.

Maintaining the concealment put a burden on the conscientious Jane, causing the pair to argue, resulting in Jane terminating the engagement. Frank's laid-back uncle gladly approves of the pairing. Emma is disappointed to learn that she was so incorrect as the engagement is made public.

Emma expects Harriet to be devastated by Frank's engagement, but she instead declares her love for Mr. Knightley, and while she recognizes the match is too unequal, Emma's support and Mr. Knightley's generosity have given her hope.

Emma is taken aback when she realizes she is in love with Mr. Knightley as well. Mr. Knightley returns to comfort Emma after the engagement of Frank and Jane, supposing her to be distraught. He proposes to her when she recognizes her folly, and she accepts. Harriet accepts Robert Martin's second proposal, and the two marry for the first time.

Frank and Jane pay a visit to the Westons, and Jane and Emma reconcile. They will marry after Frank's aunt's grieving time is through. Emma and Mr. Knightley get married before the end of November, with the promise of "perfect bliss."

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.
