Synopsis

Harry Potter, with his friends Ron and Hermoine, seeks the secret 'Hallows' also sought by Voldemort, whose soul is interwined with Harry's so that Harry may have to give his life to defeat him.

Synopsis

Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defences and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information.

Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn’t counted on Romilda Vane’s chocolates! And then there’s Hermione, simmering with jealousy but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

Synopsis

After a disastrous summer with the Dursleys, including an encounter with the Dementors, Harry is shunned by friends upon returning to Hogwarts, after the return of Lord Voldemort and no one believes him. He starts his fifth year while new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Dolores Jane Umbridge refuses to teach them defensive spells while refuting Harry's claims of the Dark Lord's return. So Harry sets out, with Ron and Hermione, to battle evil forces and prepare the fellow young witches and wizards for the extraordinary journey that lies ahead.

Synopsis

In 1866 one of the wealthiest young men in England disappears when sailing around the world. Ten years later, sightings of the presumed drowned Sir Roger Charles Doughty Tichborne, are made in South America and Australia.





A trusted black man servant, Bogle, is sent to Australia to identify the heir apparent.





After several years of fruitless searching, Bogle writes back to the Tichbornes in England informing them that their son is in fact probably dead. They inform Bogle that he may as well stay in Australia.





Desperate for a ticket home, Bogle decides to train an unlikely imposter, an overweight butcher with an uncanny resemblance to the missing heir, in the ways and manners of an English gentleman.





Back in England his eccentric mother recognises Bogle's trained gentleman immediately as her missing son, much to the horror of the rest of the family. And so begins one of the longest running court cases in English legal history, and a story which takes a remarkable turn as the imposter Bogle has unearthed suddenly begins to act and behave like the man he is supposed to be.





Is he Sir Roger or not? Based upon a true story.
