O que vem depois de Harry Potter e a Ordem da Fênix?

Harry não é mais um garoto. Aos 15 anos, continua sofrendo a rejeição dos Dursdley, sua estranha família no mundo dos ''''trouxas''''. Também continua contando com Rony Weasley e Hermione Granger, seus melhores amigos em Hogwarts, para levar adiante suas investigações e aventuras. Mas o bruxinho começa a sentir e descobrir coisas novas, como o primeiro amor e a sexualidade. Nos volumes anteriores, J. K. Rowling mostrou como Harry foi transformado em celebridade no mundo da magia por ter derrotado, ainda bebê, Voldemort, o todopoderoso bruxo das trevas que assassinou seus pais. Neste quinto livro da saga, o protagonista, numa crise típica da adolescência, tem ataques de mau humor com a perseguição da imprensa, que o segue por todos os lugares e chega a inventar declarações que nunca deu. Harry vai enfrentar as investidas de Voldemort sem a proteção de Dumbledore, já que o diretor de Hogwarts é afastado da escola. E vai ser sem a ajuda de seu protetor que o jovem herói enfrentará descobertas sobre a personalidade controversa de seu pai, Tiago Potter, e a morte de alguém muito próximo.
