Kako bi jednom za svagda uništio Voldemorta, Harry mora pronaći sve njegove horkrukse - predmete u koje je Voldemort spremio dijelove svoje biti i tako si osigurao besmrtnost.

Prije nego što počne petu godinu školovanja u Hogwartsu, Harry će morati provesti još jedne užasne praznike kod Dursleyjevih.
