For Harry Potter, it’s the start of another far-from-ordinary year at Hogwarts when the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and comes to an abrupt halt in front of him. It turns out that Sirius Black, mass-murderer and follower of Lord Voldemort, has escaped – and they say he is coming after Harry. In his first Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry’s tea leaves. And perhaps most frightening of all are the Dementors patrolling the school grounds with their soul-sucking kiss – in search of fresh victims.

“Harry Potter era un ragazzo insolito sotto molti punti di vista. Prima di tutto, odiava le vacanze estive più di qualunque altro periodo dell'anno. Poi voleva davvero fare i compiti, ma era costretto a studiare di nascosto, nel cuore della notte. E per giunta era un mago. Era quasi mezzanotte, e Harry era steso sul letto a pancia in giù, le coperte tirate sulla testa come una tenda, una torcia in mano e un grosso libro rilegato in pelle (Storia della magia, di Bathilda Bath) aperto e appoggiato sul cuscino. Fece scorrere la punta della penna d'aquila sulla pagina, aggrottando le sopracciglia, alla ricerca di qualcosa che potesse aiutarlo a scrivere il tema: Perché i roghi di streghe nel Quattordicesimo Secolo furono completamente inutili.”
