As the Harry Potter series draws to a close, Harry's greatest adventure
yet is just beginning . . . and it arrives in paperback July 25, 2006.
The war against Voldemort is not going well; even the Muggles have been
affected. Dumbledore is absent from Hogwarts for long stretches of time,
and the Order of the Phoenix has already suffered losses. And yet . . .
As with all wars, life goes on. Sixth-year students learn to Apparate.
Teenagers flirt and fight and fall in love. Harry receives some
extraordinary help in Potions from the mysterious Half-Blood Prince. And
with Dumbledore's guidance, he seeks out the full, complex story of the
boy who became Lord Voldemort -- and thus finds what may be his only
vulnerability.
