Die Drietowenaarstoernooi vind by Hogwarts plaas. Slegs towenaars wat ouer as sewentien is, mag inskryf – dit keer Harry egter nie om te droom dat hy die kompetisie eendag sal wen nie. Maar toe die Beker Vol Vuur op Allerheiligeaand die kampioene aanwys, is Harry verstom om te ontdek sy naam is een van dié wat uitgesoek word. Hy moet lewensgevaarlike take uitvoer en drake en Donker towenaars trotseer . . . Maar met sy beste vriende Ron en Hermione aan sy kant, mag hy dit dalk net oorleef . . .
Donker tye het aangebreek op Hogwarts. Ná die Dementors se aanval op sy neef Dudley, besef Harry Potter dat niks Voldemort sal stuit om hom te vind nie. Al is daar diegene wat die Donker Heer se terugkeer ontken, is Harry nie alleen nie: ’n Geheime orde vergader by Grimmauldplein om teen die Donker Magte te veg. Harry moet professor Snape toelaat om hom te leer hoe om homself te beskerm teen Voldemort se wrede aanvalle op sy gedagtes. Maar hulle word sterker en Harry se tyd raak min . . .
Wanneer Dumbledore een nag in Ligusterlaan aankom om Harry Potter te kom oplaai, is sy hand swart en verskrompel, asof die vleis weggebrand is. Geheime en gerugte versprei deur die towenaarswêreld, en selfs Hogwarts is nie veilig nie. Harry is oortuig dat Malfoy die Donker Merk dra: daar is ’n Doodseter tussen hulle. Harry gaan kragtige towerkuns en egte vriende nodig hê terwyl hy Voldemort se donkerste geheime ondersoek, en Dumbledore berei hom voor vir die lot wat nog altyd op hom wag . . .
