Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Synopsis
'This is the weapon he has been seeking so assiduously since his return: the knowledge of how to destroy you' Albus Dumbledore Harry Potter is furious that he has been abandoned at the Dursleys' house for the summer, for he suspects that Voldemort is gathering an army, that he himself could be attacked, and that his so-called friends are keeping him in the dark. Finally rescued by wizard bodyguards, he discovers that Dumbledore is regrouping the Order of the Phoenix - a secret society first formed years ago to fight Voldemort. But the Ministry of Magic is against the Order, lies are being spread by the wizards' tabloid, the Daily Prophet, and Harry fears that he may have to take on this epic battle against evil alone. These adult editions have been stylishly redesigned to showcase Andrew Davidson's beautiful woodcut cover artwork.
