'In a brief statement on Friday night, Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge confirmed that He Who Must Not Be Named has returned to this country and is once more active. "It is with great regret that I must confirm that the wizard styling himself Lord - well, you know who I mean - is alive and among us again," said Fudge.' These dramatic words appeared in the final pages of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. In the midst of this battle of good and evil, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince takes up the story of Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, with Voldemort's power and followers increasing day by day

像《哈利·波特》这样的“魔法书”是不用取悦媒体的，它自然而然地成为媒体追逐的对象。发行日到来前，美国的电视、报纸已经将新书来回炒了数遍，并不吝溢美之词。《纽约时报》罕见地在头版刊登书评，盛赞罗琳“大胆创新的叙事技巧和不知疲倦的创造性的想象”。 　　经过前4册书的熏陶，哈利·波特不再仅是孩子们的偶像，出版商适时推出了成人版本。儿童版本的封面是活泼的卡通，成人版本的封面则是一幅阴森恐怖的逼真画面，这无疑将使更多的成年人进入这一魔幻世界。 　　出版商为新书严格保密，给新书蒙上一层神秘色彩。但作者罗琳又将新书的看点稍加透露，这些都吊足了读者的胃口。 　　人们在新书上市前已经通过媒体知道，哈利·波特已成长为一个进入青春期、充满愤怒的青少年，而且还第一次谈恋爱；书中的一名重要人物要死亡等等。另外，新书发行时间正值美国学校暑假开始。经历了一个漫长的学期，孩子们不再劳神于学业，有充足的时间和兴趣与巫师们为伴。 　　美国一些评论人士惊呼“《哈利·波特》改变了世界”，在对人类的影响上，它可以加入《圣经》、《伊利亚特》和《奥德赛》，而罗琳则可以与狄更斯和达尔文为伍。如果考虑到今天“超级多媒体”式的文化传播环境，你也许可能会认同这一评价。在视觉媒体统治的世界，读书已显得很“老派”。而长达876页的《哈利·波特与凤凰令》首批全球刊印量达1300万本，《哈利·波特》系列也已被翻译成55种语言，在200多个国家上市，全球总印数超过2亿册。正如Borders执行副总裁斯皮诺兹所感慨，“文学英雄的力量能够重新点燃世界的阅读兴趣”。 　　在美国，《哈利·波特》空前地跨越了不同年龄段、不同的性别和不同的阶层。《华盛顿邮报》最近的一篇报道分析了《哈利·波特》给美国社会带来的变化。 　　其一，男孩子们开始喜欢读书。哈利·波特不仅是小女孩的倾慕对象，男孩们同样喜欢，尽管这里面有“怕掉队”的想法使然，却有可能在美国培养出一批热爱阅读的男性。男孩子们往往是最不喜欢阅读的，他们更热衷于社交性活动。读书能使男孩子们离开游戏机，哪怕只是几小时，对整个社会也是有益的。 　　其二，少儿读物开始拥有大批成年读者。根据2002年的一次调查，60％的6至17岁的少儿读者读过至少一本《哈利·波特》，同时，18％的美国成人也至少读过一本《哈利·波特》。一些平时只看维修手册的成年男性也变得更加“感性”，加入了阅读的行列。 　　更重要的是，在美国这个以基督教信仰为主的国家，男女老少皆热衷于《哈利·波特》还带来了有益于社区建设的讨论。人们更愿意思考如何把世界变成更美好的地方。连原本因巫术内容批评该书的宗教界现在也承认，这些书能“帮助孩子们区分善与恶”。

Harry Potter is in his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. However, this new book opens with a difference - a very sinister encounter and a death in a darkened and empty house. In the meantime, term goes on and there are spells to be learnt, potions to be brewed and (unluckily) Divination and Potions lessons to be attended. However, the atmosphere is darkening as, without Harry's knowledge, his worst enemy is preparing a fate for him that it seems is inescapable. A dramatic, riveting and powerful latest read from J.K. Rowling, the master storyteller. "Spectacularly action-packed plot Rowling's story exerts a relentless pull" - "Heat". "Somewhere in this enchanting mixture is a formula so brilliant it eludes analysis Rich and demanding stuff.' - "The Mail on Sunday". ""Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" has finally been unleashed. And is it good? You bet it is. Harry's - and our - fourth year at Hogwarts is funny, full of delicious parodies of our own world, and wildly action-packed." - "The Times".

We could tell you, but then we'd have to Obliviate your memory.

'His hand closed automatically around the fake Horcrux, but in spite of everything, in spite of the dark and twisting path he saw stretching ahead for himself, in spite of the final meeting with Voldemort he knew must come, whether in a month, in a year, or in ten, he felt his heart lift at the thought that there was still one last golden day of peace left to enjoy with Ron and Hermione.' With these words "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" draws to a close. And here, in this seventh and final book, Harry discovers what fate truly has in store for him as he inexorably makes his way to that final meeting with Voldemort. In this thrilling climax to the phenomenally bestselling series, J.K. Rowling reveals all to her eagerly waiting readers.

Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, a new play by Jack Thorne, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage. The play will receive its world premiere in London’s West End on July 30, 2016. It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children. While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.

The summer holidays are dragging on and Harry Potter can't wait for the start of the school year. It is his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and there are spells to be learnt and (unluckily) Potions and Divination lessons to be attended. But Harry needs to be on his guard at all times - his worst enemy is preparing a terrible fate for him.

Harry Potter thinks he is an ordinary boy. He lives with his Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia and cousin Dudley, who are mean to him and make him sleep in a cupboard under the stairs. (Dudley, however, has two bedrooms, one to sleep in and one for all his toys and games.) Then Harry starts receiving mysterious letters and his life is changed forever. He is whisked away by a beetle-eyed giant of a man and enrolled at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The reason: Harry Potter is a wizard! The first book in "The Harry Potter Series" makes the perfect introduction to the world of Hogwarts.

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! This is exactly what happens to young Harry Potter in J.K. Rowling's enchanting, funny debut novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. In the nonmagic human world--the world of "Muggles"--Harry is a nobody, treated like dirt by the aunt and uncle who begrudgingly inherited him when his parents were killed by the evil Voldemort. But in the world of wizards, small, skinny Harry is famous as a survivor of the wizard who tried to kill him. He is left only with a lightning-bolt scar on his forehead, curiously refined sensibilities, and a host of mysterious powers to remind him that he's quite, yes, altogether different from his aunt, uncle, and spoiled, piglike cousin Dudley. A mysterious letter, delivered by the friendly giant Hagrid, wrenches Harry from his dreary, Muggle-ridden existence: "We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Of course, Uncle Vernon yells most unpleasantly, "I AM NOT PAYING FOR SOME CRACKPOT OLD FOOL TO TEACH HIM MAGIC TRICKS!" Soon enough, however, Harry finds himself at Hogwarts with his owl Hedwig... and that's where the real adventure--humorous, haunting, and suspenseful--begins. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, first published in England as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, continues to win major awards in England. So far it has won the National Book Award, the Smarties Prize, the Children's Book Award, and is short-listed for the Carnegie Medal, the U.K. version of the Newbery Medal. This magical, gripping, brilliant book--a future classic to be sure--will leave kids clamoring for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

For most children, summer vacation is something to look forward to. But not for our 13-year-old hero, who's forced to spend his summers with an aunt, uncle, and cousin who detest him. 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. As it turns out, Harry isn't punished at all for his errant wizardry. Instead he is mysteriously rescued from his Muggle neighborhood and whisked off in a triple-decker, violently purple bus to spend the remaining weeks of summer in a friendly inn called the Leaky Cauldron. What Harry has to face as he begins his third year at Hogwarts explains why the officials let him off easily. It seems that Sirius Black--an escaped convict from the prison of Azkaban--is on the loose. Not only that, but he's after Harry Potter. But why? And why do the Dementors, the guards hired to protect him, chill Harry's very heart when others are unaffected? Once again, Rowling has created a mystery that will have children and adults cheering, not to mention standing in line for her next book. Fortunately, there are four more in the works.
