Editor’s note The longest of the seven, published in June 2003 after a three-year wait. The Harry of this book is an angry fifteen-year-old, which divides readers more than any other volume does. Dolores Umbridge, one of the most disliked characters in the series, arrives here. David Yates directed the 2007 film and stayed on to direct all the remaining ones.
