Harry
Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4)
by J. K. Rowling
Hardcover
2000
Other Editions: Audio Cassette (Unabridged), Audio
CD (Unabridged), Large
Print.
Readers, we will cast a giant invisibility cloak over any more
plot and reveal only that You-Know-Who is very much after Harry
and that this year there will be no Quidditch matches between
Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Instead, Hogwarts
will vie with two other magicians' schools, the stylish Beauxbatons
and the icy Durmstrang, in a Triwizard Tournament. Those chosen
to compete will undergo three supreme tests. Could Harry be one
of the lucky contenders?
Harry
Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Book 3)
by J. K. Rowling
Hardcover
1999
Other Editions: Paperback, Audio Cassette (Unabridged), Audio CD (Unabridged), Large
Print.
The third book in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series catapults
into action when the young wizard "accidentally" causes
the Dursleys' dreadful visitor Aunt Marge to inflate like a monstrous
balloon and drift up to the ceiling. Fearing punishment from
Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon (and from officials at Hogwarts
School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who strictly forbid students
to cast spells in the nonmagic world of Muggles), Harry lunges
out into the darkness with his heavy trunk and his owl Hedwig.
Harry
Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Book 2)
by J. K. Rowling
Hardcover
1999
Other Editions: Paperback, Audio Cassette (Unabridged), Audio CD (Unabridged), Large Print.
Chilling, malevolent voices whisper from the walls only to Harry,
and it seems certain that his classmate Draco Malfoy is out to
get him. Soon it's not just Harry who is worried about survival,
as dreadful things begin to happen at Hogwarts. The mysteriously
gleaming, foot-high words on the wall proclaim, "The Chamber
of Secrets Has Been Opened. Enemies of the Heir, Beware."
But what exactly does it mean?
Harry
Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1)
by J. K. Rowling
Hardcover
1999
Other Editions: Paperback, Audio Cassette (Unabridged), Audio CD (Unabridged), Large Print.
Say you've spent the first 10 years of your life sleeping under
the stairs of a family who loathes you. Then, in an absurd, magical
twist of fate you find yourself surrounded by wizards, a caged
snowy owl, a phoenix-feather wand, and jellybeans that come in
every flavor, including strawberry, curry, grass, and sardine.
Not only that, but you discover that you are a wizard yourself!

Finished •Potter'? Rowling tells what happens next
But now that the seventh and final novel is in the hands of her adoring public, Rowling no longer has to hold back any information about Harry Potter from her fans. And when 14 fans crowded around her in Edinburgh Castle in Scotland earlier this week as part of TODAY's interview, Rowling was more than willing to share her thoughts about what Harry and his friends are up to now.

Dictionary
of British Words in the "Harry Potter" Books
Harry Potter was written in English, but in what is known as
"British" or "International" English, as
opposed to the American English spoken in the United States.
Although J.K. Rowling worked closely with her American editor
on her books for the U.S. market, some of the "Queen's English"
is still used in the U.S. editions.

Critiques &
Controversy
The
Christian Meaning of The Chamber of Secrets
No one to date, however, has tried to explain the Harry Potter
phenomenon in light of Ms. Rowling's peculiar genius, the profound
themes explored in the books, or her efforts to emulate the achievements
of the Inkling Christian writers of the last century. Deep. For
mature and tolerant readers.
A
Dark Turn For Harry Potter
The fifth installment of the Harry Potter series, takes a darker, more adult approach to the story of the

The
Harry Potter Debate
Contrary to what some news reports have implied, Christians who
admire Rowling's fiction turn out to cut across denominational
and political lines. An Apologetics Index research resource.

Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Book 6)
by J. K. Rowling
- Released July 16, 2005. Plots abound, and
danger is omnipresent throughout the book. There is a new teacher
of Defense against the Dark Arts, and also an eccentric new Potions'
teacher. Of course, there is much more, including a death that
I bet will make you cry, and that hurts Harry enormously.
