Maudie, el color de la vida

Following the graveyard resurrection of Lord Voldemort at the end of The Goblet of Fire , Harry Potter expects the wizarding world to rally. Instead, he faces a smear campaign: the Ministry of Magic, led by Minister Cornelius Fudge, denies Voldemort’s return, branding Harry and Dumbledore liars. To silence the truth, the Ministry appoints the sadistic Dolores Umbridge as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor—and later as High Inquisitor of Hogwarts.

Umbridge’s iron-fisted rule (complete with blood quills and educational decrees) forces Harry, Ron, and Hermione to take matters into their own hands. They form “Dumbledore’s Army,” a secret student group that meets in the Room of Requirement to learn practical defensive magic. Meanwhile, Harry is plagued by disturbing visions linking him to Voldemort’s mind—visions that eventually trick him into a deadly trap at the Ministry’s Department of Mysteries. The ensuing battle sees the first major death of a beloved mentor, Sirius Black, and the public return of the Dark Lord.
