Akkora, mint két ló. A szeme tűzgolyó. A karmai borotvaélesek. Vigyázz, mert jön az Ickabog... Duskáldia egykor a világ legboldogabb országa volt. Bővelkedett aranyban, egy pompázatos bajszú király uralkodott rajta, és olyan fenséges kolbászok, sajtok és sütemények készültek városaiban, hogy aki csak megkóstolta őket, táncra perdült örömében! Birodalomszerte minden szép és jó volt, kivéve a ködös északi részt, Lápföldét, ahol egy régi rege szerint a szörnyűséges Ickabog tanyázott. Minden épeszű ember tudta, hogy az Ickabog csak legenda, rossz gyerekek ijesztgetésére való. De a legendáknak megvan az a furcsa tulajdonságuk, hogy néha önálló életre kelnek... Vajon egy mendemonda megbuktathatja a közkedvelt királyt, és térdre kényszerítheti az országát? Annyi biztos, hogy két bátor gyerek olyan kalandba sodródik miatta, amire maguktól sose vállalkoztak volna. A világ egyik legkiválóbb elbeszélőjének sajátos hangulatú meséjét a szereplők színes tárháza és a fantáziadús cselekmény teszi minden korosztály számára feledhetetlen olvasmánnyá. J.K. Rowling a könyv eladásából származó teljes bevételét felajánlja olyan szervezeteknek, amelyek célja, hogy segítsenek azokon, akik különösen megszenvedték a koronavírus-járványt.

The Ickabog is coming... A mythical monster, a kingdom in peril, an adventure that will test two children's bravery to the limit. Discover a brilliantly original fairy tale about the power of hope and friendship to triumph against all odds, from one of the world's best storytellers. The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustaches you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth, to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own. Could a myth unseat a beloved king? Could a myth bring a once happy country to its knees? Could a myth thrust two children into an adventure they didn't ask for and never expected?If you're feeling brave, step into the pages of this book to find out... A beautiful hardback edition, perfect for sharing and gift-giving. Brought to life with full-colour illustrations by the young winners of The Ickabog Illustration Competition.

Melyik nemzeti válogatott nyeri a Kviddics Világkupát? Ki lesz a Trimágus Tusa győztese? Utóbbiért három boszorkány- és varázslóképző tanintézet legrátermettebb diákjai küzdenek. A világraszóló versengés házigazdája Roxfort, az az iskola, ahová Harry Potter immár negyedévesként érkezik. S ahogy az a felsőbb osztályosoknál már egyáltalán nem különös, Harry és barátai a másik nemet is felfedezik... Ám nem csupán e kellemes izgalmakat ígérő események várnak rájuk. Voldemort, a fekete mágusok vezére újból készülődik..

A Sötét Nagyúr most erőtlen s magányos. Hívei elfordultak tőle. Szolgája tizenkét éve rabságban senyved. Ma este, még éjfél előtt, a szolga kiszabadul, és visszatér urához. Segítségével a Sötét Nagyúr erőre kap, s hatalma rettentőbb lesz, mint valaha. Harry Potter szokásos rémes vakációját tölti Dursley-éknél, ám a helyzet úgy elfajul, hogy Harry elviharzik a Privet Drive-ról. Így köt ki a Kóbor Grimbuszon, ami elviszi őt abba a világba, ahová egész nyáron vágyott. Az Abszol úton ijesztő hírek járják: az Azkabanból, a gonosz varázslókat őrző rettegett börtönből megszökött egy fogoly. A Mágiaügyi Minisztériumban tudják, hogy a veszélyes szökevény a Roxfort Boszorkány- és Varázslóképző Szakiskolába tart. Harry pedig egy véletlen folytán tudomást szerez róla, hogy az illető az ő nyomát követi. Harry harmadik évét a Roxfortban baljós ómenek kísérik. Egyre inkább feltárul előtte saját múltja, és Voldemort leghűségesebb szolgájával is farkasszemet kell néznie. A Kate Greenaway-díjjal kitüntetett Jim Kay pazar illusztrációkkal jeleníti meg J.K. Rowling varázslatos világát az immár klasszikus sorozat harmadik kötetében.
