Somehow over the summer gossip usually traced back to the magic world's newspaper the Daily Prophet has turned Harry's tragic and heroic encounter with Voldemort at the Triwizard Tournament into an excuse to ridicule and discount the teen. Even Professor Dumbledore headmaster of the school has come under scrutiny by the Ministry of Magic which refuses to officially acknowledge the terrifying truth that Voldemort is back. Enter a particularly loathsome new character: the toadlike and simpering Dolores Umbridge senior undersecretary to the Minister of Magic who takes over the vacant position of Defense Against Dark Arts teacher--and in no time manages to become the High Inquisitor of Hogwarts as well. Life isn't getting any easier for Harry Potter. With an overwhelming course load as the fifth years prepare for their Ordinary Wizarding Levels examinations O. W. Ls devastating changes in the Gryffindor Quidditch team lineup vivid dreams about long hallways and closed doors and increasing pain in his lightning-shaped scar Harry's resilience is sorely tested.": 6.25 x 9.25 in.: 870 pages .

Nagy Gregory
THE BEST OF THE ACHAEANS Concepts of the Hero in Archaic Greek Poetry
The Johns Hopkins University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1979. Hardcover. 0801822009 . Foxing to textblock. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover G. P. Goold. Includes 3 page typed review of book inscribed to G. P. Goold from "John" tipped in. ; Despite widespread interest in the Greek hero as a cult figure little was written about the relationship between the cult practices and the portrayals of the hero in poetry. The first edition of The Best of the Achaeans bridged that gap raising new questions about what could be known or conjectured about Greek heroes. In this revised edition which features a new preface by the author Gregory Nagy reconsiders his conclusions in the light of the subsequent debate and resumes his discussion of the special status of heroes in ancient Greek life and poetry. His book remains an engaging introduction both to the concept of the hero in Hellenic civilization and to the poetic forms through which the hero is defined: the Iliad and Odyssey in particular and archaic Greek poetry in general. ; 414 pages . The Johns Hopkins University Press hardcover
