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
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 can't know that the atmosphere is darkening around him, and his worst enemy is preparing a fate that it seems will be inescapable . . . With characteristic wit, fast-paced humour and marvellous emotional depth, J.K. Rowling has proved herself yet again to be a master story-teller.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: The sixth in J. K. Rowling's series of the adventures of the young wizard Harry Potter. Vietnamese version translated by Ly Lan and Huong Lan. 679p. (6)
Hufflepuff house remains true as Dark forces gather in Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts and many in the wizarding world deny the Dark Lord has returned. Susan Bones, Ernie Macmillan and other Hufflepuffs stand shoulder to shoulder with Harry Potter in Dumbledore's Army and, working at the heart of the Ministry of Magic, Auror Nymphadora Tinks guards the secrets of the Order of the Phoenix. This Hufflepuff edition of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix celebrates the house famed for its dedication, patience and loyalty.
The three firm friends, Harry, Ron and Hermione, are soon immersed in the daily round of Potions, Herbology, Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, and Quidditch. But then horrible and mysterious things begin to happen. Harry keeps hearing strange voices, sinister and dark messages appear on the wall, and then Ron's sister Ginny disappears...
When a letter arrives for unhappy but ordinary Harry Potter, a decade-old secret is revealed to him that apparently he's the last to know. His parents were wizards, killed by a Dark Lord's curse when Harry was just a baby, and which he somehow survived. Leaving his unsympathetic aunt and uncle for Hogwarts, a wizarding school brimming with ghosts and enchantments, Harry stumbles upon a sinister adventure when he finds a three-headed dog guarding a room on the third floor. Then he hears of a missing stone with astonishing powers which could be valuable, dangerous, or both.
