When Dumbledore arrives at Privet Drive one summer night to collect Harry Potter; his wand hand is blackened and shrivelled; but he does not reveal why. Secrets and suspicion are spreading through the wizarding world; and Hogwarts itself is not safe. Harry is convinced that Malfoy bears the Dark Mark: there is a Death Eater amongst them. Harry will need powerful magic and true friends as he explores Voldemort's darkest secrets; and Dumbledore prepares him to face his destiny...
