Teen Urban Fantasy

Londra, metà Ottocento. L'organizzazione segreta Oversight ha il compito sia di proteggere gli esseri umani privi di poteri magici dalle scorribande degli esseri fatati di ogni genere, sia di difendere il mondo magico dalle ingiustizie perpetrate - più o meno involontariamente - dall'umanità che avanza a grandi passi verso la modernizzazione.

Kolmivelhoturnajaisia ollaan järjestämässä Tylypahkassa. Kisaan kelpaavat mukaan vain yli 17-vuotiaat velhot, mutta se ei estä Harrya haaveilemasta kisan voitosta. Kun liekehtivä pikari paljastaa kurpitsajuhlassa turnauksen osallistujat, Harry saa hämmästyksekseen kuulla olevansa yksi valituista. Häntä odottavat kuolemaa uhmaavat haasteet, lohikäärmeet ja pimeän velhot, mutta parhaiden ystäviensä, Ronin ja Hermionen, avulla Harry voi vielä selvitä hengissä!

En natt vaknar Harry Potter av att ärret i pannan brinner som eld - ett säkert tecken på att Lord Voldemort befinner sig i närheten. Harry får snart annat att tänka på när världsmästerskapen i quidditch går av stapeln. Och när sommarlovet är slut väntar en överraskning: tillsammans med två andra trollkarlsskolor, Durmstrang och Beauxbatons, ska Hogwarts tävla i en mytomspunnen trekamp. Bara en från varje skola får delta. Alla är lika spända på vems namn som kommer att dras ur den flammande bägaren.

Harry har tilbragt de første uger af sommerferien hos familien Dursley med at ligge på sin seng og stirre op i loftet. Han sørger over sin dræbte gudfar Sirius, mens han genoplever det grufulde opgør med Dødsgardisterne i Ministeriet for Magi og den sindsoprivende duel mellem Dumbledore og Lord Voldemort. Nu sidder han ved vinduet og venter på Dumbledore, der har meldt sin ankomst pr. uglepost. Langt om længe vil Dumbledore give svar på Harrys mange spørgsmål om sammenhængen mellem ham selv og Lord Voldemort.

En storslået intermagisk begivenhed vil finde sted på Hogwarts i år. Harry Potter stilles over for de hidtil mest krævende udfordringer i sin troldmandskarriere; men Mørkets repræsentanter lurer i hver en krog, og alt tyder på, at udfordringerne denne gang er mere, end Harry kan magte.

Synkät ajat ovat koittaneet Tylypahkassa. Ankeuttajien hyökättyä hänen Dudley-serkkunsa kimppuun, Harry Potter tietää, että Voldemort ei anna minkään estää tätä löytämästä Harrya. Monet kiistävät pimeyden lordin palanneen, mutta Harry ei ole silti yksin: salainen järjestö kerää voimiaan Kalmanhanaukiolla taisteluun pimeyden voimia vastaan. Harryn täytyy antaa professori Kalkaroksen opettaa häntä suojautumaan Voldemortin rajuilta hyökkäyksiltä hänen mieltään vastaan. Ne muuttuvat päivä päivältä pahemmiksi, ja Harryn aika on käymässä vähiin....

Det er mørke tider i vente for Galtvort. Etter desperantenes angrep på fetteren Dudleif, vet Harry Potter at Voldemort vil gjøre alt for å finne ham. Det er mange som avviser tilbakekomsten til Mørkets herre, men Harry er ikke alene: en hemmelig orden samles på Grimoldsplassen for å bekjempe de mørke kreftene. Harry må la professor Slur lære ham hvordan han kan beskytte seg selv mot to Voldemorts grusomme angrep på tankene hans. Men de blir sterkere for hver dag som går, og tiden løper ut for Harry....

Harry Potter har fått nog. Sommarlovet hos Dursleys har varit värre än någonsin. Hans bästa vänner verkar inte bry sig om honom, han har inte fått några nyheter från trollkarlsvärlden på hela sommaren och han riskerar dessutom att bli relegerad. När Harry väl återvänder till Hogwarts för sitt femte år är ingenting som det brukar vara, och den stora frågan är: När ska Lord Voldemort slå till igen?

I thought death would be a one-way trip. I was wrong. After a botched assassination attempt, I took a bullet to the heart. That should have put me down for good, but the vampire lord who hired me for the job tied my soul to an Aztec demon. Now I’m stranded on an island full of rabid wolves, my only companion the trigger-happy ex-boyfriend who shot me. The supernatural community thinks I’m a traitor, and my own sister thinks I’m a murderer. Our only chance is to ally with the wolves.

I thought death would be a one-way trip. I was wrong. I thought killing the vampire who bound my soul to an Aztec demon would be the end of it. But instead of saving the thousands of infected wolves he’d the Trust had quarantined, I’d condemned them to a fiery death...and I was not prepared for what I found on the scorched island. In a last-ditch effort to contain an imminent apocalypse, I challenged a demon-possessed former colleague to an infernal duel he could not refuse.

Aspen is a Norm. A non-magic. A human. And in the magically hidden boroughs of New York City, that's a quick way to wind up dead. Or worse. So instead of magic, Aspen relies on her skills as a thief to stay alive. She didn't plan to get caught stealing from Lucien Dunadine, one of the strongest members on the Council of Mages. She really didn't plan on him blackmailing her into being his apprentice. But with the Council demanding Lucien present a candidate for a competition to become their newest Mage, neither one of them has much choice.

With a handful of stolen cards, Ernie has just been made an unwilling player in a game of good versus evil.
