Dumbledore has been rightly afraid of the psychological link between Harry and the Dark Lord, as they can catch glimpses of each other’s minds. With tensions mounting, Harry and his friends seek to teach themselves what the school will not, and as such form ‘Dumbledore’s Army’ a group of students headed by Harry who meet in secret to learn how to protect themselves against the Dark Arts.īut Dumbledore himself seems to be avoiding Harry… and when Harry realises why, he may wish he never knew. With Voldemort back, learning proper defence techniques is more important than ever, but Umbridge refuses to teach them anything practical.
All in all, it’s not a great year to be Harry Potter. In what seems to be a cruel twist of fate, Harry’s new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor is Dolores Umbridge, a Ministry worker who was part of Harry’s trial and was all for expelling him. Harry’s insistence that the Dark Lord has returned has lost him friends elsewhere, too rumours abound at Hogwarts, and even some of his fellow Gryffindors can’t quite hide their unease around him. His use of magic outside of school leads to him getting expelled, and though the sentence ends up getting over-turned when Dumbledore takes his side, it still makes one thing clear: the Ministry of Magic are no longer friends of Harry Potter. Harry hasn’t even got back to school before the troubles of his fifth year start, when he is forced to fight off two Dementors lurking near the Dursley’s home.
Harry must find a way to prove that he is telling the truth – and whilst he’s at it, he needs to avoid the attentions of the dreadful new Defence Professor, one Dolores Umbridge… The magical world has grown comfortable in the years since Voldemort was allegedly destroyed when he attempted to kill baby Harry, and they don’t want to accept that their greatest foe may have returned. The Goblet of Fire ends with Voldemort’s return, so it’s natural that the stakes are heightened and the danger more immediate for Harry and his friends – but the consequences of the Dark Lord rising again spread far and wide.īuy the complete Harry Potter 1-8 box set on Amazon here.
