十二年来，在令人恐惧的要塞阿兹卡班，一直关押着一个著名的囚犯，名叫小天狼星布莱克。他的罪名是用一句咒语杀害了十三个人，据说他还是伏地魔的忠实追随者，哈利的父母被害也与他有关，而现在他逃出了监狱……而且阿兹卡班的守卫还听到布莱克说的梦话：“他在霍格沃茨……他在霍格沃茨……” 小天狼星是不是想来杀掉哈利？ 即使在魔法学校里，身边都是朋友，哈利·波特也并不安全。因为最可怕的是，在他们当中也许隐藏着一个背叛者…… “你最恐惧的是——恐惧本身。” ——莱姆斯·卢平

该传记颇详尽地描述罗琳的成长背景和《哈利波特》的形成过程。例如影响《哈利波特》最深的书是伊丽莎白・古奇的儿童小说《小白马》，而罗琳最爱不释手的小说是被评为英国“世纪之书”的《魔戒》。《魔戒》及其作者托尔金，在严肃作家中不乏崇拜者，包括英国大诗人奥登。《罗琳传》除了写罗琳外，罗琳母亲安妮勤劳和高尚的品格，亦令人印象深刻。

《怪獸與牠們的產地》幾乎可以說是每個魔法家庭書架上必備的一本書。即日起，到截止日期之前，麻瓜讀者們也同樣有機會探索Quintaped（五足獸）的產地、Puffskein（胖胖球）吃的食物、以及不能夠在屋外留牛奶給Knarl（魔刺蝟）喝的原因。 本書的銷售所得，將用來改善救助全世界兒童的生活。這表示您所付的每一分錢，不管是新台幣或加隆，都將造就出任何一位巫師都辦不到的魔法。如果您覺得這樣的理由，尚不足以說服您慷慨解囊的話，那麼我只能誠心地祝福，希望當您被人面蠍尾獅攻擊時，哪位路過的巫師會大發慈悲。 －－阿不思‧鄧不利多

'His hand closed automatically around the fake Horcrux, but in spite of everything, in spite of the dark and twisting path he saw stretching ahead for himself, in spite of the final meeting with Voldemort he knew must come, whether in a month, in a year, or in ten, he felt his heart lift at the thought that there was still one last golden day of peace left to enjoy with Ron and Hermione.' With these words "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" draws to a close. And here, in this seventh and final book, Harry discovers what fate truly has in store for him as he inexorably makes his way to that final meeting with Voldemort. In this thrilling climax to the phenomenally bestselling series, J.K. Rowling reveals all to her eagerly waiting readers.
