Lingua:Libri Italiani'There will be three tasks, spaced throughout the school year, and they will test the champions in many different ways ... their magical prowess - their daring - their powers of deduction - and, of course, their ability to cope with danger.'
The Triwizard Tournament is to be held at Hogwarts. Only wizards who are over seventeen are allowed to enter - but that doesn't stop Harry dreaming that he will win the competition. Then at Hallowe'en, when the Goblet of Fire makes its selection, Harry is amazed to find his name is one of those that the magical cup picks out. He will face death-defying tasks, dragons and Dark wizards, but with the help of his best friends, Ron and Hermione, he might just make it through - alive!

Ma con una posta in gioco così alta, Silente potrà restare a lungo in disparte?

When a letter arrives for unhappy but ordinary Harry Potter, a decade-old secret is revealed to him that apparently he's the last to know. His parents were wizards, killed by a Dark Lord's curse when Harry was just a baby, and which he somehow survived. Leaving his unsympathetic aunt and uncle for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry stumbles upon a sinister mystery when he finds a three-headed dog guarding a room on the third floor. Then he hears of a missing stone with astonishing powers, which could be valuable, dangerous - or both. An incredible adventure is about to begin!
Jack e il suo nuovo pupazzo, il Maialino di Natale (fastidioso sostituto fresco di negozio), si imbarcano in un piano audace. Insieme intraprenderanno un viaggio mozzafiato nella Terra dei Perduti, dove ‒ con lʼaiuto di un portapranzo parlante, di una bussola coraggiosa e di un essere alato di nome Speranza ‒ cercheranno di salvare il miglior amico che Jack abbia mai avuto dal terribile Perdente: un mostro fatto di rottami che divora ogni cosa…
Dal genio creativo di J.K. Rowling, una delle più belle storie di Natale mai scritte, piena della tenerezza irresistibile dellʼinfanzia di fronte al grande mistero della perdita. L’affettuosa, inesauribile fantasia dell’autrice e la compassione verso le persone e gli oggetti amati che assorbono i sentimenti umani sono la celebrazione del calore della famiglia, del prendersi cura e del sentirsi capiti e della autentica sostenibilità delle cose.
Con le bellissime illustrazioni del pluripremiato artista Jim Field, Il Maialino di Natale è destinato a diventare un classico amato da adulti e bambini.
"The heroes and heroines who triumph in his stories are not those with the most powerful magic, but rather those who demonstrate the most kindness, common sense and ingenuity."
As every fan of the Harry Potter stories knows, the shelves of the Hogwarts Library are home to all sorts of fascinating books. There are three in particular you might have heard mentioned by certain Hogwarts students, and that you can add to your reading list too, including The Tales of Beedle the Bard.
As familiar to Hogwarts students as Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty are to Muggle children, Beedle's stories are a collection of popular fairy tales written for young witches and wizards. So, if you're wondering what's in store... well, you're in for a treat!
You're bound to laugh when you read about the havoc wreaked by a father's impish gift to his son in The Wizard and the Hopping Pot.
The Fountain of Fair Fortune will take you on a quest through an enchanted garden, alongside three witches and a luckless knight.
In The Warlock's Hairy Heart you'll be warned about a young warlock who is fearful of love, and turns to dark magic to avoid it at all costs.
The calamitous meeting of a foolish king, a cunning charlatan and a mischievous washerwoman unravels in Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump.
And finally, the most iconic of Beedle's stories. The Tale of the Three Brothers - with its message of humility and wisdom - will introduce you, dear reader, to the Deathly Hallows.
Each of the tales is accompanied by wise and whimsical notes from a certain Albus Dumbledore, surely everyone's favourite headmaster.
We're told these five fables have been firm favourites in wizarding households for centuries. Now it's your turn to experience these tales from the Wizarding World.
Fans of The Tales of Beedle the Bard are sure to enjoy the other Hogwarts Library books: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages.
