There is a door at the end of a silent corridor. And it's
haunting Harry Potter's dreams. Why else would he be waking
in the middle of the night, screaming in terror?
Here
are just a few things on Harry's mind:
A Defense
Against the Dark Arts teacher with a personality like
poisoned honey.
A venomous, disgruntled
house-elf
Ron as keeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch
team
The looming terror of the end-of-term Ordinary
Wizarding Level exams
. . . and of course, the
growing threat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. In the richest
installment yet of J. K. Rowling's seven-part story, Harry
Potter is faced with the unreliability of the very
government of the magical world and the impotence of the
authorities at Hogwarts.
Despite this (or perhaps
because of it), he finds depth and strength in his friends,
beyond what even he knew, boundless loyalty; and unbearable
sacrifice.
Though thick runs the plot, listeners will
race through these tapes and leave Hogwarts, like Harry,
wishing only for the next train back.
