When a young girl and her older brothers step into the ghostly Paradise Sands hotel, they fall under the rule of the mysterious Teller.

But can the girl, determined as she is, hold up her side of the bargain?"--

Het land wordt geteisterd door vreemde rampen en aanslagen en, hoewel het hartje zomer is, hangt er een hardnekkige, onheilspellende mist. In de Ligusterlaan zit Harry Potter 's avonds laat ongeduldig op de komst van professor Perkamentus te wachten. Wat kan er zo belangrijk zijn dat Perkamentus hem bij de Duffelingen komt opzoeken en dat niet wachten kan tot Harry's terugkeer naar Zweinstein? Zou het iets te maken hebben met de oude profetie die Harry aan het einde van zijn vijfde schooljaar heeft gehoord? Harry's zesde jaar op Zweinstein begint ongebruikelijk als Voldemort opnieuw aan kracht wint en de werelden van Dreuzels en tovenaars zich steeds meer met elkaar vermengen...
