Book 5:

a lot of stuff going on... but i'll give it a whirl. haven't read in awhile, so i'll see what i remember:

it starts with harry in privet drive... he and dudley get attacked by Dementors! harry defends them, and of course gets a letter saying he did magic outside of school, but this time it says he is gonna get Expelled, and that someone from the ministry would come there soon and break his wand! so he tries to leave, but gets letters from dumbledore saying to stay put... he then gets a letter saying instead of being expelled, he was going to have to go to Trial.

he goes to the burrow, and stays w/ the weasleys. they find out that the order of the phoenix headquarters is at Sirius' house. the kids try to eavesdrop and hear that there may be a "secret weapon" that voldemort is trying to use, and that harry may be part of it, etc. they go to sirius' house, and try to get rid of any Dark objects... harry is getting extremely annoyed/angry w/ dumbledore because he feels that he is being ignored by D.

they go to school... harry is told that he needs to learn Occlumency w/ Snape, which is learning how to block someone from reading his mind. he has a connection w/ voldemort ever since the scar.... harry and snape don't get along, and snape refuses to teach harry anymore after a huge fight. harry has a dream that he is a snake, that finds mr. weasley and BITES him! blood spurting everywhere. he wakes up, tells D, and they find that the dream was Real, and that harry was in the mind of the snake. he feels as though he is being used for the Dark side, and tries to run away, but they don't let him. harry is starting to feel extremely misunderstood and unhappy....

eventually voldemort realizes that harry can read his mood/have visions, and so V tricks harry into thinking that they caught Sirius. harry tries to get the gang to go the ministry of magic and find sirius.. everyone thinks he's crazy and that harry shouldn't have seen these visions if he had learned occlumency. harry doesn't care, forces them to go. they find out that it was a trick, all the death eaters are there. they get him to pick up a Prophesy that was made about him, and that is what voldemort wanted. it gets broken in the fight, and the only thing that saves harry is dumbledore and some of the order. but sirius dies , is killed by Bellatrix.

finally harry learns that the prophesy was made by professor trelawny to dumbledore, than a boy born at certain time to certain parents would be marked as voldemort's equal, and neither could live while the other lived. this could have meant neville or harry, but V had chosen harry and the rest is history. dumbledore also tells harry that he was avoiding him, because he was afraid V would be using harry's connection to do something bad. D also apologizes for a lot of things, and admits it was his fault from the start...he should have told harry from the beginning all the stuff about snape and his father, and about voldemort and harry having to kill one another.... but he kept putting it off.. yadayadayada....

oh yeah, and there's a horrible new Defense teacher, professor Umbridge. she looks like a frog, and is short and mean. she picks on harry, and makes his life living hell. she is just like fudge, trying to blame harry for making up stories about V being back.

there's a lot more, but i think that is the gist of the story.


Book 6:

there is a new minister of magic (fudge got sacked). he visits the Muggle Prime Minister and tells him some horrible tragedies and deaths were dark wizards' faults, not random catastrophes. obviously voldemort supporters are getting out of hand, ministry of magic can't handle the huge problems.

dumbledore asks harry to help him before school starts. they are trying to persuade a professor Slughorn to teach at the school. he is Fat, lazy, jovial, and the kind of person who loves networking (likes to drop names, maintain contacts to get free gifts, etc), and favored Lily Potter as a student. he at first doesn't want to teach, but meeting harry persuades him and he takes the position. harry assumes it is the Defense of Dark arts position, but it is actually Potions... so Snape is the new DADA professor!

draco's mom and sister pay a visit to Snape and wormtail... narcissa begs him to take care of draco, and protect him from what the dark lord has asked him to do. snape promises and does the Unbreakable vow, to finish what draco is supposed to do. bellatrix does not trust snape, thinks he is a dumbledore supporter.

harry is suspicious of draco, but no one cares. he watches him on the map, finds that draco is spending a lot of time in the room of requirement. he becomes obsessed w/ finding out more, but can't get in cuz he doesn't know what draco uses it for. meanwhile, there are a few botched murder attempts. 1) katie bell gets imperiused to take a cursed necklace to the castle.. she fights w/ her friend and accidentally touches the necklace. she starts screaming and writhing and has to go to the hospital wing. 2) prof slughorn has a bottle of Rosmerta's mead that was supposed to go to Dumbledore, but he kept it for himself. he opens it when ron and harry come to him for some help regarding love potions, (ron accidentaly eats a drugged chocolate and is "in love" w/ some girl), and when he drinks the mead he is poisoned!! almost dies.

during this time ginny is really popular, has a few boyfriends. ron & harry catch her kissing, and ron embarrasses her. she screams that everyone else has "snogged" someone, but ron is the only one who hasn't. the next day, he is snogging lavendar all over town, and hermione gets hurt because they were starting to like each other (he is mad that she has probably snogged viktor krum). harry is developing feelings for ginny! btw... fleur delacour is engaged to ginny's brother bill!!

also, harry has an old book w/ writing all over it, from potions. it has spells and notes and tips, and he ends up being awesome in potions class. everyone is jealous, esp Hermione. it says "property of the half blood prince". he tries out some of the invented, hand-written spells, and one is horrible (sectumsempra).. he uses it against draco and his chest explodes and blood gushes Everywhere. snape fixes him up, but learns thru legimancy that harry has the text book. harry hides it in the room of requirement... which ironically is where draco has been most of the time mending a vanishing cabinet that connects Borgin and Burkes to Hogwarts.

all throughout this time dumbledore has been having secret lessons w/ harry, teaching and showing him about voldemort's past using memories he's collected from random people. they learn that slughorn has a secret, only harry can persuade slughorn to give him the real memory. harry eventually uses a cool potion Felix Felicious (liquid luck) to get it, and they learn that V has made 7 horcruxes (the ultimate evil way of keeping yourself immortal). dumbledore shares his ideas of what the horcruxes are. he promises harry they will go together when D finds another horcrux. they find one and leave hogwarts. harry is sure that draco is up to something, and gives his felix felicious to the gang.

they go to check out the horcrux.. D has to drink some mystery liquid in order to find the locket, which severely weakens him. he consistently asks for Snape, and they go back to the castle to find that there is a Dark Mark over hogwarts. harry is under his invisibility coat and is petrified by dumbledore, and can't move. draco uses that time to disarm D, and is scared but needing to Kill Dumbledore, under V's orders. other death eaters come out including snape, and snape kills D using Avada Kedavra. as harry is not petrified anymore, he runs after snape, and altho snape doesn't kill him they exchange words and jinxes. they death eaters run off, and the rest of the gang are ok except for Bill who is completely disfigured by a werewolf.

they hold a funeral for dumbledore. his portrait appears in the headmaster's room, sleeping. harry tells ginny he cannot be w/ her, as V may try to kill her to get to harry. hermione and ron have gotten together by this time. harry decides he will return to privet drive one last time, and not go back to hogwarts as he needs to destroy the horcruxes and Voldemort in book 7.
