Harry Potter catch-up guides

Published 7/15/05

So HP6 comes out tomorrow at midnight. Or tonight at midnight. Whatever you want to call it.

Anyway, it’s been two years since the last book, which — if you haven’t re-read all five in that time — might mean you’ll feel a bit lost when you start Half-Blood Prince.

Conveniently, you can catch up quickly. (And if you’re not into Harry Potter, you can learn the most important plot points so you can converse with those who are.)

The folks at SparkNotes — the Cliff Notes of the Internet age — have detailed guide of the first five books, including a nicely sized plot summary for each.

Here are links to those summaries:

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s/Sourcerer’s Stone
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

The Fray
