La primera novela para adultos de J.K. Rowling.Una gran obra de una narradora extraordinaria. Con su plaza adoquinada y su antiquísima abadía, Pagford parece un típico pueblecito ingles, un lugar idílico en el que la vida transcurre con placida tranquilidad. Sin embargo, sus habitantes estan inmersos en una realidad muy diferente. Tras la conmocion causada por la subita muerte de Barry Fairbrother, se desencadena una autentica batalla en sordina por ocupar la vacante dejada por Barry en el concejo parroquial, donde se dirime el destino de una urbanizacion de dudosa legalidad. Y cuando la tension hace aflorar una serie de conflictos latentes que involucran a todo el pueblo -hijos contra padres, pobres contra ricos, mujeres contra maridos, alumnos contra maestros-, la pasion, la hipocresia y, especialmente, los secretos que suelen anidar en una comunidad pequeña desempeñaran un papel decisivo en el futuro de Pagford.La critica ha dicho..."Una novela maravillosa. J.K. Rowling se situa a la altura de Stevenson, Conan Doyle y P.D. James. Sus dotes narrativas se combinan con su habilidad para crear personajes memorables y conmovedores, y el resultado es una novela muy representativa de Inglaterra, rebosante de rabia y tern

The Tales of Beedle the Bard have been favourite bedtime reading in wizarding households for centuries. Full of magic and trickery, these classic tales both entertain and instruct, and remain as captivating to young wizards today as they were when Beedle first put quill to parchment in the fifteenth century. There are five tales in all: 'The Tale of the Three Brothers' Harry Potter fans will know from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; 'The Fountain of Fair Fortune', 'The Warlock's Hairy Heart', 'The Wizard and the Hopping Pot' and 'Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump' complete the collection. These narrative gems are accompanied by explanatory notes by Professor Albus Dumbledore (included by kind permission of the Hogwarts Headmaster's archive). His illuminating thoughts reveal the stories to be much more than just simple moral tales, and are sure to make Babbitty Rabbitty and the slug-belching Hopping Pot as familiar to Muggles as Snow White and Cinderella. This brand new edition of these much loved fairy tales from the wizarding world pairs J.K. Rowling's original text with gorgeous jacket art by Jonny Duddle and line illustrations throughout by Tomislav Tomic. The Tales of Beedle the Bard is published in aid of the Lumos (link to wearelumos.org), an international children's charity (registered charity number 1112575) founded in 2005 by J.K Rowling. Lumos is dedicated ending the institutionalisation of children, a harmful practice that affects the lives of up to eight million disadvantaged children around the world who live in institutions and orphanages, many placed there as a result of poverty, disability, disease, discrimination and conflict; very few are orphans. Lumos works to reunite children with their families, promote family-based care alternatives and help authorities to reform their systems and close down institutions and orphanages.

Harry Potter is lucky to reach the age of thirteen, since he has survived the murderous attacks of the feared Dark Lord on more than one occasion. But his hopes for a quiet school term concentrating on Quidditch are dashed when a maniacal mass-murderer escapes from Azkaban, pursued by the soul-sucking Dementors who guard the prison. It's assumed that Hogwarts is the safest place for Harry to be. But is it a coincidence that he can feel eyes watching him in the dark, and should he be taking Professor Trelawney's ghoulish predictions seriously?

Harry can't wait for his holidays with the dire Dursleys to end. But a small, self-punishing house-elf warns Harry of mortal danger awaiting him at Hogwarts School. Returning to the castle nevertheless, Harry hears a rumour about a chamber of secrets, holding unknown horrors to wizards of Muggle parentage. Now someone is casting spells that turn people to stone, and a terrible warning is found painted on the wall. The chief suspect - always in the wrong place - is Harry. But something much darker has yet to be unleashed.

When a letter arrives for unhappy but ordinary Harry Potter, a decade-old secret is revealed to him that apparently he's the last to know. His parents were wizards, killed by a Dark Lord's curse when Harry was just a baby, and which he somehow survived. Leaving his unsympathetic aunt and uncle for Hogwarts, a wizarding school brimming with ghosts and enchantments, Harry stumbles upon a sinister adventure when he finds a three-headed dog guarding a room on the third floor. Then he hears of a missing stone with astonishing powers which could be valuable, dangerous, or both.

"Mi apro alla chiusura": e uno dei tanti enigmi lasciati da Silente con cui Harry Potter deve confrontarsi in questo ultimo, settimo libro. E la saga stessa, giunta alla sua conclusione, si apre a sorpresa su nuovi mondi, nel passato e nel futuro: getta la luce della meraviglia su dettagli, personaggi ed eventi che sembravano gia noti, rivelandone segreti e significati profondi. Insieme a Harry, nella sua disperata ricerca della verita, un caleidoscopio di avventure apparentemente gia vissute, piccoli fatti e grandi eventi, seguendo il filo della consapevolezza che si dipana e si acuisce in un crescendo di emozioni, colpi di scena, perdite e conquiste. La conclusione, piena di luce e vapore, sembra indurre a rileggere tutto dall''inizio, per arrivare a chiudere il cerchio. Mai gli interrogativi sono stati cosi tanti; mai come in questo ultimo volume si ha la piena soddisfazione di una risposta che vada oltre l''apparenza; mai come in questo episodio l''autrice dimostra la sua capacita di sorprendere i lettori, di alimentare un fuoco d''artificio che non cessa di ammaliare il lettore. Eta di lettura: da 8 anni.
