Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
In the previous book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the last chapter, titled 'The Second War Begins,' started:
'In a brief statement on Friday night, Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge confirmed that He Who Must Not Be Named has returned to this country and is once more active.
'It is with great regret that I must confirm that the wizard styling himself Lord – well, you know who I mean – is alive and among us again,' said Fudge.'
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince takes up the story of Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at this point as Voldemort's power and followers are increasing day by day, in the midst of this battle of good and evil.

Born in Yate, Gloucestershire, England, Rowling's imagination took root early, blossoming through her love of books and storytelling. Her journey, however, was far from an enchanted one. Like many great stories, hers is laced with struggles—financial hardship, personal loss, and the weight of self-doubt. It was in these quiet, difficult moments that she began writing what would eventually become the Harry Potter series—a saga that would reshape the world of literature.
