You have in your hands the pivotal fourth novel in the seven part tale of Harry Potter's training as a wizard and his coming of age. Harry wants to get away from the pernicious Dursleys and go to the International Quidditch Cup with Hermione, Ron, and the Weasleys. He wants to dream about Cho Chang, his crush (and maybe do more than dream). He wants to find out about the mysterious event that's supposed to take place at the Hogwarts this year, an event involving two other rival schools of magic, and a competition that hasn't happened in a hundred years. He wants to be a normal, fourteen year old wizard. Unfortunately for Harry Potter, he's not normal - even by wizarding standards.

And in his case, different can be deadly. --jacket flap

Harry Potter is back at Hogwarts after the emotion of watching his first Quidditch championship with Ron and Hermione. Unfortunately, the Death Eaters are back as well as the dark mark. Times are changing.

I love that the last chapter is called the beginning. It is indeed the beginning of the end of the series and it gets better and better as darkness rises and divides wizards and fantastic creatures. I liked this book much better now, for some reason I had forgotten most of it. What a wonderful ride!
