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 a 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
Roman
Es kommt nicht oft vor, dass der 16-jährige Lucas Swain Freundschaften schließt. Er ist lieber für sich, denkt nach, grübelt herum. So ist es für ihn ein richtiges Ereignis, als er sich mit Violet Park anfreundet, denn Violet ist - tot. Und Lucas rettet ihre Urne. Das erste Mal hörte Lucas von Violet in einem kleinen Minicar-Büro, mitten in der Nacht. Ihre Überreste stehen in einer Schachtel auf einem Regal. Allein die Tatsache, dass sie einmal gelebt hat und nun bis in alle Ewigkeit in einem verräucherten Büro stehen muss, setzt Lucas so zu (mal davon abgesehen, dass er eine Nanosekunde glaubt, sie würde ihn aus der Urne heraus um Hilfe anrufen), dass es für ihn zu einer Mission wird, herauszukriegen, wer diese Frau war. Was er erfährt, lässt ihn sein eigenes Leben besser verstehen.
Harry has yet again spent the summer holidays at the Dursleys'. He has had plenty to think about, though - from the death of his beloved godfather Sirius Black, to the terrifying chase through the Ministry of Magic by the Death Eaters, to the fierce duel he witnessed between Professor Dumbledore and Lord Voldemort. It is the middle of the summer, but there is an unseasonal mist pressing against the windowpanes. Harry is waiting nervously for a visit from Professor Dumbledore himself. He can't quite believe that Professor Dumbledore will actually appear at the Dursleys' of all places. Why is the Professor coming to visit him now? What is it that cannot wait until Harry returns to Hogwarts in a few weeks' time? Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts has already got off to an unusual start, as the worlds of Muggle and magic start to intertwine J.K. Rowling charts Harry Potter's adventures in his sixth year at Hogwarts with a mix of detail and humour that is unsurpassed, pace that is breathless and above all a flair that is magical.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard contains five richly diverse fairy tales, each with its own magical character, that will variously bring delight, laughter and the thrill of mortal peril. Additional notes for each story penned by Professor Albus Dumbledore will be enjoyed by Muggles and wizards alike, as the Professor muses on the morals illuminated by the tales, and reveals snippets of information about life at Hogwarts. A uniquely magical volume, with illustrations by the author, J. K. Rowling, that will be treasured for years to come.
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. With characteristic wit, fast-paced humour and marvellous emotional depth, J.K. Rowling has proved herself yet again to be a master storyteller.
Harry Potter is lucky to reach the age of thirteen, since he has survived the murderous attacks of the feared Dark Wizard Voldemort three times. But his hopes for a quiet term concentrating on Quidditch are dashed when a maniacal mass-murderer escapes from Azkaban, pursued by the soul-sucking Dementors who guard the prison. It's assumed that Hogwarts is the safest place for Harry to be. But is it a coincidence that he can feel eyes watching him in the dark, and should he be taking Professor Trelawney's ghoulish predictions seriously?
Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive.

Harry is waiting in Privet Drive. The Order of the Phoenix is coming to escort him safely away without Voldemort and his supporters knowing — if they can. But what will Harry do then? How can he fulfil the momentous and seemingly impossible task that Professor Dumbledore has left him? --back cover
Harry is furious that he has been abandoned at the Dursleys' house for the summer, for he suspects that Voldemort is gathering an army, that he himself could be attacked, and that his so-called friends are keeping him in the dark. Finally rescued by wizard bodyguards, he discovers that Dumbledore is regrouping the Order of the Phoenix - a secret society first formed years ago to fight Voldemort. But the Ministry of Magic is against the Order, lies are being spread by the wizards' tabloid, the Daily Prophet, and Harry fears that he may have to take on this epic battle against evil alone
Mit der 3-Typen-Lehre familiäre Krisenherde entschärfen Wenn Eltern und Kinder immer wieder »Stress« miteinander haben, sind sie womöglich unterschiedliche Persönlichkeitstypen. Wenn ein Gefühlvoller (oder Beziehungstyp), ein Nachdenklicher (oder Sachtyp) und ein Aktiver (oder Handlungstyp) aufeinander treffen – und das in ein und derselben Familie –, begegnen sich tatsächlich Vertreter verschiedener Welten ... Die 3-Typen-Lehre vermag schlüssig zu erklären, warum etwa eine Beziehungstyp-Mutter und ein Sachtyp-Kind sich auf den immer gleichen »Kriegsschauplätzen« wiederfinden. Darüber hinaus verdeutlicht sie, welcher Typ welche Sprache spricht und wie die einzelnen Charaktere sich gegenseitig behindern, aber auch fördern können. Aber nicht nur als Erklärungsmodell, sondern auch als Arbeitsgrundlage ist die Typologie hervorragend geeignet, um entspannte Beziehungen und eine harmonische Familienatmosphäre zu gestalten. Mit einem Fragebogen zur Typbestimmung und vielen kleinen (Vorlese-)Geschichten für Kinder im Vor- und Grundschulalter, die ihnen die Inhalte des Buchs aufschließen.
