fact, the Ministry of Magic is doing everything it can to keep the wizarding world from

to train her students in practical defensive magic, a select group of students decides to
learn on their own. With Harry Potter as their leader, these students (who call
themselves "Dumbledore's Army") meet secretly in a hidden room at Hogwarts to
hone their wizarding skills in preparation for battle with the Dark Lord and his
Death Eaters. A terrifying showdown between good and evil awaits. Prepare for

romance blossoms for Harry, Ron, Hermione and their classmates. Love is in the
air, but danger lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same.
